As I have one little black cat and a black and white devil this is something I feel particularly strongly about. My black cat has the lovliest nature and we adore him, but he only came to us because he wasn't wanted by anyone else because he was black.
We were lucky and so was he (though I'm sure he feels he could be fed a bit more often and deserves the seat on the sofa I dare to occupy) so I thought I'd let you know about the Cats' Protection Black Cat Day!
