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?

Oh @Blackcatowner44 they are absolutely gorgeous.

We're thinking of rescuing another cat and I'd love to get a black cat.

My big fella. He’s a rescue, was neglected and lost an eye due to infection. He is a hefty guy but such a softy.

Best thread ever. My black cat isn't in his usual spot on the back of the armchair, he must have gone out celebrating!

Does anyone else keep their black cats in on Halloween night? We're probably very over cautious but worry that he might receive unwanted attention as a 'witch's cat'. Despite that, any other black beauties get renamed Binx over the next few days? 😄

My tuxedo boy having a snooze. He’s a very special boy.

Ours are in every night except when madam decides to ignore us and sit on the garden chairs till 2am. In full view.

Fireworks will be starting soon which is stressful for them so definitely inside at nightt

Poor Bobo, hiding from a thunderstorm. 😄 I was a good mum and covered his head back up post pic.

Poor Leroy was in a rescue for months - black AND FIV+ 😱

Hopefully I was worth waiting for 🤷🏼‍♀️
(Given the amount of raw chicken he had when I was cooking I should bloody well think I was!!!)

All gorgeous! Here's my last remaining black cat - obviously the three water bowls scattered around and one cat fountain are not up to his standards.

Little Tennyson has had a lovely day and was very interested in my dinner after he'd had his.

Oh my, these black beauties! Thank you for all the photos

My tuxedo is an uncooperative plonker but I’ll see if I can find a photo

Minouche has been overseeing my sick leave. Just the current cold.

The human boys have gone to bed so Hiro has stretched himself out on dc4's chair rather than balancing on the arm of mine.
