Punishingly Intricate

I had an awesome black cat with extra toes. He was named Stinky. I have a tattoo of him sitting on the moon on my hip .

We love black cats. I have one named after Tina Turner. If she'd been male, she'd have been Omar, though.

Because books.

Our first cat, Puck, was a black longhair.

Amazing that people are still ... superstitious? about black cats. Really? That's sort of ridiculous.

My orange boy sounds way more dangerous than any of those black cats

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My orange cat tried to KILL ME!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I had heard this about black cats not being adopted, I might have ended up with one, but I'm pretty sure my five year old, male, injured (he has a rakish ear) boy was unlikely enough, even though he's orange.

Oh- I once showed someone a picture of my cat with my mom's cats- all of them black, and they were so shocked at all the black cats they physically jumped back from the picture in horror!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I don't know if it's superstition, or the fact that black cats seem to not stand out at the shelters. I know that at my shelter, there were several black cats in the big cat room, so it was the more colorful ones who were obvious. The only reason I noticed Amarna was that she came up to me and claimed me for her own.

Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark reviews.

“Please Lord, make it stop”

“an artistic form of megalomania”

“chaotic, dull, and a little silly”

“Come to think of it, the optimal audience might be non-English-speaking.”

“a tangle of disjointed concepts, scenes and musical sequences that suggests its more appropriate home would be off a highway in Orlando,”

“Spider-Man is not only the most expensive musical ever to hit Broadway; it may also rank among the worst.”

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

It's a very odd phenomenon. When i was looking for my second cat (companion for the first) i went to the county shelter where they have lots of "rooms": variously decorated habitats. Every room was at least 50% black cats. There was also a room that was solely black cats. I expressed my astonishment to one of the employees there who kinda shrugged and said that they could usally adopt the black kittens, but once they hit adulthood no one seemed interested in taking home a black cat. It must be superstition, wouldn't we all prefer to be covered in black fur than white or orange? I don't get the superstition at all. Perhaps it's time for a black-cat-lovers movement. It seems like all of my friends who have cats have at least one black one, so there's plenty of us out there unafraid of getting a little familiar.
