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.

Her Sebastian sounds a bit like our Vic.

It's funny really, as I think of human Sebastians as blond. Claudias are meant to be dark, and Tessas blonde but I got that pone reversed with our grey Claudia and dark-brown Tessa. But their names suited them anyway. :-)
