The last cat we got, we were seeking a tuxedo kitty.
She's glaring at me right now. I think her fat little face wants MOAR FOOD.
I've almost always had at least one black cat in my life.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Amazing that people are still ... superstitious? about black cats. Really? That's sort of ridiculous.
Thanks to the force of nature that are the LOLcats, we call our black cat "Basement Cat" now. She is unmoved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!
Seriously?? Seriously.

Our wings are not tired.
Left to my own devices, I would be a crazy cat lady, and have five or six. Pete keeps me from that path.
I want dozens of cats and dozens of dogs. And, goats.
I plan to retire one day to the country and have lots of land and all sorts of rescued critters. I have to get rid of my traveling bug, though, because it's really hard to take off for a couple of weeks when you've got acres of animals.

I had no idea that people didn't adopt black cats. I've known so many--indeed I've owned a fair number myself. Maybe there are more of them born than some of the other colors? Aren't calicoes relatively rare? So maybe black cats are just relatively a lot more common.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've never seen statistics on how common different types of cats are. But the shelter we volunteer at has quite a few black and tuxie cats. At least a couple of whom are very friendly.

Oz is the only cat that I've thought about the colour. And mostly, it was his sad face that sucked me in. My two previous cats just kind of happened. I actively disliked white cats before I got Pico, and with Clio it was a choice between brown tabby or brown calico.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The last two cats I got were supposed to be orange, or so I thought when I started looking, but neither of them are.
