Talk to me re black cats…

[Ilovemycat13]

Can you tell me about and show me your black cats please?

My beautiful part bengal died about 4 months ago and we’re getting another kitten in January. We chose a lovely little black kitten. My partner was drawn to him and I know black cats often are the hardest to re home.

Are they as loving as I hear? Mine will probably be an indoor cat (no debates please) will he be tolerable of that?

Thanks!

Little demons pets 🤣

In my experience, black cats are very loving and gentle.

My two came to me as strays. They are adorable and so easy going. Flint the small one, loves being outside and having adventures. The big one, Ambrose, stays close to home, is affectionate but likes his space.

I adore black cats. We were going to get black ones this time, but our current terrible twosome (who are tabby and white) came up for adoption at just the right time and were too adorable to turn down. Black cats will absolutely feature in our future though.

We brought this handsome chap home today; he's utterly gorgeous and so tiny (smallest of the litter). He's the friendliest kitten I've ever met and I'm completely smitten.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😍

Smiiten with your kitten. I can see why! He's very cute. Who gets to share bedtime with him?😻

Mine helping with the gardening today.

Ahh he is gorgeous but I give your lovely houseplants a week at best till they're shredded or knocked over
My two black cats are 4yo bro/sis
( I'll find a photo of them later)

I have just risked life and limb putting her flea drops on - she was in a box, I stealthed up with the pipette , asked DD if she wanted to hold or dose .
DD (wisely) said "neither"
Did the 'scruff hold' as the vet adviced and got properly hissed at .
Luckily 'scruff hold' stopped her very pointy teeth making contact but lets not forget The Claws .
Just need to find her brother now .

<Disclaimer>
I know my place . We are a family of 4 adults and the cats regard me as persona non grata even though I am the one who trawled the Cat Rescue websites to choose Our cats and arrange it ( the wanting cats was DH wish but obviously we were all on board )
I'm the one who takes them to the vet (DH doesn't drive) and they have long memories !

Oh and Black Cats (plural) like to gaslight you by making you not be able to identify them. Ours have very subtle differences mainly the way they move and the shape of their noses .
He has two ear tufts , she has one tufty ear
If I say to DH "Was that him or her and are they carrrying anything" he is "can't tell at that speed"

I have threatened them with pink and blue collars . They give me a "The Hell You Will" look

Re-inforcing the Black Cats Don't Do Good Photos Theory

Our little Female Cat in the clean towel box ( black/grey towels this time)
DD didn't think I'll just move her from the clean laundry , nope she photographs her !

And looking closely at that leg , there might be some tabby genes in there ..

I have a lovely black rescue boy. He decided I was his person, on his terms but usually at 5am. His favourite thing is to sit in the bath and paw at the taps to make them drip.

We went away recently and he went to the cattery. Since he came back he has decided he loves me more than ever and hasn't stopped purring. He cuddles up to me every night with his paw gently touching my cheek. I don't get much sleep but he is just so damn cute

My (mostly) black cat is friendly, playful and cuddly. He’s very cute, loves me, likes most other people. Good stuff all round.

However, he only gets a go with the family brain cell once a week. Today it was not his turn, so he sat in the wet shower, then cried because his bum and legs were wet…

I avoided getting the fish for a long time. I thought it'd be a flash in the pan. I was right. It's now been discarded, along with all the other toys.

Ours have an orange Flappin'Fish , they are a bit Eh ? if it writhes , but they will play with it if its filled with catnip .
