My Halloween baby! There’s just something about this time of the year where my cat looks so good in photos outside because he just fits with the autumnal and spooky aesthetic. I think that’s the same for all black cats really. I love this picture that I took of him! Does anyone else have any pictures of their black cats that just give off Halloween vibes? I took pictures of him next to a couple of pumpkins that we carved once but I can’t find it. Lots of people say that black cats aren’t very photogenic and just don’t look as good in pictures as other colours.. however I think this time of year is their time to shine

@littleroad he doesn't seem to mind it! It's a Tractive one. It connects to an app which tells you roughly where he is. If you want his exact location, you go on the app to 'live' mode, but that runs the battery down quicker. If you don't use Live mode the battery lasts a good four or five days, I think. He gets a bit grumpy when we take it off to charge because we lock his catflap 🤣 it fully charges in a couple of hours.

I'm jealous of everyone with not just one, but two black cats! 🥰

Picking up this little rescue girly tomorrow. First time kitty owners, wish us luck! 🐈‍⬛🐾

You’ll be fine as long as you appreciate the hierarchy as follows:-

  1. Kitten
  2. Kitten
  3. Kitten
  4. Kitten
  5. Kitten
  6. Kitten
  7. Kitten
  8. Kitten
  9. Kitten
  10. Everything else in your life.

She is absolutely beautiful. I recommend getting a second pair of eyes in the back of your head……

There are times I regret getting two virtually identical cats...

Gorgeous little panthers. I love black kitties.

Just came across this thread so had to take a snap of mine. Took a much better one a moment ago but can't seem to add it!

Raven wasn't happy that I shared the photo of her making the cat tree lean precariously, so here is one of her being all snuggly next to me.

That’s really useful to know. Our two can’t decide if they want to be indoor or outdoor cats. If they decide to go out, I think this needs to be bought for my peace of mind!

All of these stunning, beautiful, silky, fluffy, cute, bastard, tiny, new, old, gorgeous gorgeous black cats!
What a great thread!
Love that your cats have different colour eyes @coffeesaveslives ! To my mind, most intriguing cat pose goes to Spam @Leeds157: is that yoga?
What a lovely thread @Girlinblue and you are right, your cat is very photogenic.
They are all so lovely!

Here is our 3 year old rescue girl.

That tiny bit of white on her top lip makes her look forever disapproving when she looks at you!

Pointless edit to say that I can't attach the pic 😞
