My little black beauty, Velvet is asleep in my arms as i type!
She is the biggest sweetheart, and such a wonderful kitty!
And the thing about the black cats/dogs being the last to go at shelters- most of the time that's pretty accurate, at least at the one i work for. We try doing cute things to make them more noticable to people, like putting cute collars on them, being careful not to put several black animals in cages side by side (they all blend in - we try to mix them around the others so they stand out), giving them cute names....it all helps
