To celebrate, my two young youngsters have gone out for a constitutional. Basil has decided to stay in to murder a feather.
What are your black cats up to today?

Does black and white count? My Emmy is currently having a stand off because I won't open the exact back door she wants me to open and have opened the other back door but she's refusing to use that one 🙄

Girlcat - in normal daytime mode, and then when she realised belly rubs may be on the cards...

I say BLACK cat, but actually she's a) smoke black and b) charcoal tabby!

Leroy is currently having a good wash while settled down on the heated throw.

Seems a bit rude to take a pic so here's one of my favourites 🥰

Black and white, Smoke black, Charcoal tabby, or Russet.

I don't make the rules 🤣 - happy to include any cat who identifies as being a black cat. I sometimes have my doubts about Basil.
