Black Cat Appreciation Day

[vilakins]

Apparently it was Black Cat Appreciation Day yesterday (17th) in the US. They're adopted last there (my Sebastian, shown here, was at the Lonely Miaow months after his sibs, but that may have been shyness) and are five times more likely to be put to sleep at shelters in the US because of this, but why? Stupid superstition? [Edit: yes, apparently, they're regarded as bad luck there.] Going by the black cats I've known, they're stunningly beautiful, sweet-natured, and so loving and faithful. Adopting Sebastian was one of the best decisions I've made.

When I decided I wanted another cat, I definitely had a black one in mind. I've always liked and admired them and they seem to have very sweet natures. Sebastian is an absolute darling I could spend hours in bed cuddling him if I could (I did this morning). When I wake up in the night, he's either right there between our pillows or further down the bed and immediately comes up when he sees I'm awake and I go back to sleep smooching him with his happy purring in my ear.

And I know what a beautiful and loving cat Noki is!

Eeee, Noki does the same. The moment I wake up, she hops in next to me and curls under my arm and purrs and purrs and purrs. Every morning starts with snuggles:3
