Black cats feature in Halloween decorations - more is the pity. Because it feeds into the idea that black cats are somehow wild or frightening. And they just don't get adopted as quickly as cats of different colours.
In some US shelters, that kill unwanted cats, a lot of black cats get put to sleep. They are handed in on Halloween to keep them safe and die later.
I'm celebrating the beauty of black cats today with lots of lovely photos, some of them of my Uncle and namesake George who used to this blog. He stood up for the rights of black cats and, as you can see from the photo at the top was a keen newspaper reader.
Even little black kittens take longer to be adopted. So there are often lots of them waiting to find their forever home.
So tell your human to stop being colour prejudiced and to start helping black cats.- My book will help you understand why humans are the way they are.
Black cats are a big presence in our home, they are loving, beautiful, loyal and smart. Everyone should have a black cat in their family.
