Please tell me you're keeping Naomi!
Did you know it's the same for black dogs? I'd love a black Labrador.
Really? Now that does surprise me. Except for the fact that they may not show up well in pictures I can't think of any reason why people would avoid black dogs; the only "black" superstition I know of is about black cats. And black dogs are so gorgeous; I would expect dog lovers to be standing in line to adopt them.
They have such silky soft fur. 
There is something to the fact that they don't show as well in photos. I know that one of the Animal Planet shows...possibly "Pitbulls and Parolees" mentioned that black dogs are hard to place because they don't show up well in photos online.
Exactly! I wasn't ever going to let Naomi go to the shelter, but this would be PERFECT!
Oh, that's WONDERFUL news! How nice for Freddy and Tanya to find a new home with their Mum. It will make it so much easier for them all to settle in.
Kind of sad for you to say goodbye to all of them, but I know you already have your Furever cats.
I hope so! The Daddy is coming tomorrow to meet her, too- and he already sounds like he loves her
For all that people talk about "the tortie stink eye" and "black cats are so silky to pet" and all the rest of it, we all know that all cats give the occasional (or frequent) stink eye, and all colors of cats can have silky soft fur. Essentially, they're all beautiful, they all know that they're better than us, they're all lovable. And it's utterly ridiculous (not to mention tragic) that people don't adopt them based on such a silly thing as color, so I agree that it's worthwhile to try to start some movement that points out the beauty of black cats. My only question is whether we want people who are that hung up on color adopting. I keep having nasty daydreams of people deciding to dye their white cats black because it's more fashionable. I know, that would be stupid. Unfortunately, I also know that there are people that stupid in the world. We've seen it with pets dyed pink already.
You know, it's sad that something meant to help black cats actually could end up that way. As a side note, one of the ladies at Cathouse on the Kings told me that tri-colored cats are even harder to adopt out that black cats. I sent her a copy of the little story I posted here about why tri-colored cats protect homes from fire, and she sent me a very nice email, saying that they may print that and use it as counter-propaganda. I hope they do...or did. That was a bit ago, before I found you guys.
