IM A CAT LOVER I HAVE A CAT AT HOME.
Two years ago, I had a solid black kitten, that fit in my hand, he just showed up, at my front door, and it was a week before Halloween, and I named him. Salem 💕
My black cat came 2 years ago.. Named her Baghira,, shiny.. And blacky.
I own a black cat! He's the best in the world! ♥️
I'm so heart broken to learn that they have the highest euthanasia rates... How could people do this! So cruel!
My cat, PuppyBear is the only soul in the world who loves me the most after God. ♥️🥺
I have a black cat, and he is incredibly sweet, smart, affectionate, and loyal.
Same here.. mine is a huge character sometimes 🤣 just love it.
Mine also.... My cat's name is shadow and he is also very smart😎....
@@FizaKhan-kr6zrI have a black cat named Shadow too. She is a girl.
@@jennatomashosky8624 😍👍
i have 4 gorgeous black cats and i know what u mean. i know have my very own little bodyguard when i go to the toilet. He'll sit by my bathroom doorway (he won't come in most of the time) He'll sit up, with his out
My black cat adopted me while I was dealing with grief. Now she's my emotional support animal, and living comfortably in my home.
Officially your esa? Or that's just what you're saying. I'm asking because I wanna know how to certify a cat as an esa...
I rescued a black cat in 2015 she was 7 years old. She saved my life multiple times. I had Miss Rain until June 4th, 23. She was my soul and heart. I will see her in another life!
You guys saved each other, that's beautiful!
❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
but u guyes dont believes reincarnation.
You Will ❤
My black male cat passed away a month ago and I have never met as sweet feline as him. Even when the vet took blood samples from him regularly (hyperthyroid reasons) he never complained. Every time vet and assistants were amazed how nicely he behaved. Rest in peace my beloved boy~
Sorry for your loss 🥰 hugs from myself, Raven and Moonlyte
Condolences
So sorry to hear that
I have never had a pet, so sorry for your loss
I know how that feels, My Ebony died in 2020. He was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs, he couldn't stand so I called a friend to take us to the My Vet. He died in may arms on the way. I asked the vet to find out why he died, he said the first time I had taken Ebony to him was 25 years ago as a kitten. He said it was old age and he probably was waiting at the stair to say goodby. He did, he purred and rubbed against me until he died still trying to comfort me like he did anytime I was upset or sick. He always knew.
I used to work in a cat shelter. The black cats were adopted pretty fast. The obese cats unfortunately took the longest to be adopted. Either way, please adopt the black cats and the obese ones! They're all very sweet
I did love Thanks 🙏
I have never met an unfriendly black cat. Every black cat I've met has been really sweet and friendly. I have two lovely black cats at home and they're super sweet. Also, I find it hilarious that the classic image of a black Halloween cat is a scared cat. They're supposed to be scary but they're actually scared. The arched back, fluffed up tail, and bristling fur is all an attempt to look bigger when they feel threatened. A classic fear response.
I've actually met a black cat that would attempt to be sweet but would quickly strike out. I'm almost certain she was an abuse victim. ☹️😡
My black cat likes to do the arched back, hopping around, but he's not scared, he is playing.
Thank you for your kind words about my brethren. I won't remweowmberr this.
Black cats are truly underrated in so many ways. Personally, I find them to be like silhouettes with bright eyes. It’s almost like the special black paint that can turn anything into a real life silhouette. And that’s why I named my black cat Vanta.
I remember going to the pound to adopt a cat. I told her I wanted a black one and she said Bless you! We got the most incredible kitten ever. Black cats look awesome
I've had only black cats for the past 25 years because my vet told me about their very low adoption rate. And they have been the best cats! As I type this, my big (25 lb) male baby (he's 14) is snuggled up next to me, purring and looking at me with love. It could be because he wants dinner, though 😁
And he just reached out and rewound this video on my tablet. Guess he likes the video, too!
25 lb? Is he a Maine Coon? If not, poor boy.
@@jcjcjcparent6588 there are a few more breeds that are still at a healthy weight at 25#.
@@tjtaggart6494 Such as?
Edit : Done my research, and I found out that Ragamuffins, Ragdolls, Savannah and Siberian cats can reach that weight.
Maybe, but our black cat midnight who was also 14 and a big boy definitely loved us as I’m sure your boy loves you! Dinner is just a bonus.
I'd love to watch all of this but I can't. I've got a miniature panther, and it just ticks me off so much to hear about all the bias and superstition. My girl's the sweetest kitteh anyone could want.
Black cats rule! 🐈⬛
I love Black Cats! They have proven to be the smartest of cats
My black rescue kitty 🐈⬛ is the coolest. I love her quirky nature. She is the only cat I’ve had the gives me daily massages. She’s awesome!!!
I used to have a black cat Lexi), but 2 1/2 years ago I had to put her down because she was so sick. I miss her so much😢
I agree I have 2 black cats brother and sister Prince Charming ( he’s like a mini panther ) and Princess Cinderella , they are the most loving and soppiest cats I’ve ever had ! They’re my all ! ❤️😍
I remember going to an adoption center with my sister a few years ago to get a black kitten (who is now named Gi-Gi) and the staff telling me how black cats are less likely to be taken because of their "stereotype" and I was pretty shocked. But she is the sweetest cat ever once she gets to know you.
Was her name inspired by Kiki's delivery service movie? Cute name!
I grew up in the country/rural where people drop cats. The black cats were the best. Followed by calico. I vote adopt the black ones.
So back in October, I rescued a Bombay cat, the blackest black cat, and he’s so sweet and loving. It was right before Halloween so I instantly adopted him from the humane society, little did I realize I was saving two cats. My cat’s name is Felix and he’s a big lover boy at heart. Back in December my brother’s medic in the army who’s a huge animal lover got so inspired from Felix he went and adopted his own little black kitten named Athena. Poor little girl was through it as part of her ear was missing, but he loves that little kitten so much.
Beautiful story 🥰🥰🥰
😺😺 good day all 🐱 in New Jersey cannot adopt in October do to Halloween 🎃🎃 when I adopted Blakely at St John's Animal House I brought home a panther and another took two more out so that day three black was adopted 🌻🌻🌻
I just adopted a black cat, well a feral kitten. She showed up on my deck mewing and crying - on Halloween! How cool is that? Poor little thing is so tiny. The vet said she’s seven or maybe weeks old and is healthy except for a belly full of worms, which he treated her for. She was very shy the first few days but now she’s a cuddly little thing. I have two other cats, adult males, and they are starting to play with her.
Beautiful story!😻🥰🥰🥰 take care of ur new friend❤️
@@josdahara11 She’s a sweet, sweet thing. And my dog loves her too. He washes her. He loves all the cats.
I love black cats. All of the mini panthers I've known (including my own cat) are extra sweet and affectionate.🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️😻😻
Blakeford adopted me 8 years ago. He was pretty old and had a bad hip and urinary issues. But he's happy and healthy and on his back right now in the middle of our living room. He's a very good boss and we love that cat.
We have numerous black cats, and they're some of the friendliest cats I've ever met. We recently got a new puppy, and one of the black cats very quickly came over to give her a friendly head bump and welcome her to the household.
Got one 6 months ago , ironically it's most affectionate cat I've ever owned , out of 6 cats , comes to bed to sleep every night , curls up by my head , never scratches or bits even when angry
I had a little black cat adopt me. He just kept on coming to my door and meowing to come in and now he's curled up in my lap while I type. I certainly consider him to be good luck. He is so playful and crazy and as a result has made my life infinitely more fun with his antics. I also no longer need an alarm clock to get me up on time... His meows are a much nicer way to wake up than electronic beeping ♥
We had the same thing happen with our black cat, Vader. Gradually started coming in the house for longer and longer periods, then sleeping on the couch overnight. It was/is too cute. He's about 80% indoors now and definitely good luck for us.
Aww that’s adorable ❤️🥺
@Roopster that happens to be one of tbeir jobs... karma
Your a Lucky Soul Schmoogle! The Natives believe it’s Good Luck when an animal takes up with you (in my opinion Especially a Cat) I just don’t see how Anybody gets along without one 🐾 ✌️
@@rosemariesalvatore7733 That’s sweet of y’all to let him in & love him! It’s never a mistake to be kind to a critter! 🐾
I just adopted a black kitty a few months ago. I had no idea of their low adoption rates. I’m so glad I got him (his name is Batman and two weeks after I adopted him, I went back to the shelter to get him a friend… who I named Robin!)
My peasant human name is Robin!!!!
Thank you for supporting the adoption of black cats.
I have volunteered at animal shelters for over 10 years, and I've never found that one cat fur pattern was superior to another one when it came to sweet, cuddly, cats.
I have a black cat and where my dad comes from they believe black cats are GOOD luck instead of Bad luck and I 100% stand by that oh ya my black cat also acts like a panther and it is wonderful and hilarious
I do too. I have two black handsome boys. 🙂
I have a long hair solid black cat that showed up at work on Halloween!!! She is beautiful, she is the sweetest cat I have ever known. She has a little squeak of a meow so we named her Squeaky. She is beside me this very moment. I love her so much. She has more character than any other cat I have.
WHAT A GREAT / BEAUTIFUL HALLOWEEN STORY !! THANK YOU SO MUCH for adopting a black cat !!! Happy Halloween 🎃 👍👍👍👏👏💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🐈⬛🎈💕💞
OMG! That's the cutest name and story I have ever heard!!🥺🥺
@@sapphirejade5029 Thank you, Squeaky is such a doll. Everything has to be just right for her, she is soo finicky. I am up to cat #16. I dont have 16 cats! That's how many I have helped, get shots, tests, dewormed and fixed. I will find homes for them or keep a few of them. I dont actually give them names anymore, I just give them a number. By chance Squeaky is number 8!!! 8 balls are black!!! If they are a female I will call them Baby, if they are males I will call them Buddy. I can't keep up with all the names. People seem to abandon them at a restaurant I work at around Christmas. But Squeaky showed up on Halloween. Strange. My sisters cant believe I have turned into a cat person. I'm either at Sea or riding my Harley Davidsons. All creatures great and small. I wish I could have a place large enough to take care of all of them that need help. Take care my friend.
That reminds me of when I found a small short haired cat, and she is also really sweet
@@terraria-fan.1 Hi Gena, I found a small gray cat living under a 60 foot model ship I built. She has thumbs! Very odd? Some say she is a Hemingway cat.... I thought those had 6 claws? This one has 5 claws but..... well.... she has thumbs! I had to keep her, she is #10 I just call her baby. She gets jealous of Squeaky and #13 when sleeping on my bed. She dosent want to be near either of them when trying to sleep. At this moment Squeaky is on the pillow next to my head. #13 is at my knees and #10 'thumbs' is at my hip opposite side. If there isnt at least two cats trying to sleep on the bed, something is wrong. I love them so much. (Please dont tell my biker buddies.)
Our very first cat we adopted a few years ago as a kitten is our adorable black cat named Ricky. He has brought us so much joy and happiness.
I had a black cat for 18 yrs until she got cancer .she was the most loving cat.she was affectionate very mellow .I would recommend to adopt one .
My void kitty is absolutely the friendliest cat I've ever had, bar none. She absolutely insists on sleeping next to me every night and spends basically all day around me.
Cats everywhere should be honored and respected and just plain loved and worshiped for their awesomeness.
We recently adopted a black cat from a shelter - he had been there a long time, I think because he was a bit of a "swiper" if startled. It took him a while to get to know us and trust us but now he is part of the family and is a lovely loving boy. We didn't set out to adopt a black cat - our little man chose us 😻
My black cat Cecil provided me with nearly 20 years of companionship and pleasure. He was one of the most personable cats I’ve ever owned. I lost him to CKD last December, and I still miss him to this day. My wife and I are looking into adopting another black cat before the end of the year.
🙏🙏

Just got one here!! He’s the best kitten cat ever. So loving !
Did you get one m8
i dont know where u are but i have 2 black/white cats that were feral that are now tame.....cheap michigan
I've got 2... Couldn't imagine myself without them
my black cat was a stray whonadopted me by jumping in my truck and giving me the "we can leave now" look. he is the sweetest most loving cat ive ever had and ive had over a dozen in my 50+ years.
I had a stray black cat who followed me so I took him in. He was about 10 months old and people in the area said someone dumped him and he had been begging for food from everyone. He was smart, affectionate, and very athletic. He died from a chronic illness that couldn't be cured, after 10 years. I mourned a long time.
I now adopted another black cat at the shelter. He is also very affectionate and smart. He is not very athletic, because he had multiple pelvic fractures (hit by a car?) so he walks a bit funny and can't leap very high. So sometimes I pick him up and let him go on some shelves or a high dresser so he can survey the room! Then he meows when he's done and I take him down. He may be lame for the rest of his life, but he's happy and I play with him all the time. He loves the fishing rod with feathers, although he can't leap up very high so I drag it around on the floor and he catches it that way. He is indoors and likes to lay on his tower (he can jump from perch to perch) and watch the birds outside. He is my little buddy and he is so happy to be out of that shelter. The people at the shelter were so glad that he was adopted. He was there for over 2 months and they thought no one would adopt him because he's black and is a bit lame.
My favorite pattern is mainly black, but not completely: the tuxedo pattern.
Omg, me too
I have a tuxedo baby, and the white and black make a beautiful contrast. She was a pitiful stray who showed up in my yard a year and a half ago and even if she was totally black I still would have taken her in and loved her just as much. She has been the best animal companion I ever had!
Black cats are the BEST! My partner and I were adopted by our furry kid who wandered over from the neighborhood across the street. He’s 2 years old now, a medium-haired alpha male haus panther named Ninja. I have had a blue point Siamese and a tuxedo; he is my first black cat and he has brought us so much good luck!!! 🐈⬛🍀
They're very gentle, too. As an artist I love how light reflects on their pure feline form. I pity those who fail to see the beauty.
My black cat named Birdie is very calm and loving. She doesn't get testy at all and the vets always comment on how well behaved she is. I'm glad I adopted her.
I love how my cat's coat shines in the sunlight. She's so beautiful. Her personality's so sweet and calm, her presence brought peace and joy to me. I could never imagine my life without her, she's my friend, my baby. If anything, I got really lucky to have her with me. She's always by my side when I'm down or feeling sick, she sits near me and watches me while I work or do housework, she sleeps with me and curls up beside me so we both are warm. It is my wish that we can continue together for many years to come. I love my feline friend with all my heart.
My cat is very playful
I smiled reading this lol , I have this amazing black cat that I feel way too blessed 🥹
Our family adopted a wonderful 12 week old black female kitten on Halloween of this year. She is so beautiful, intelligent, classy, sassy, chill, & a great hunter. A fantastic member of our family. I'm so grateful to have such a great cat. The family loves her just the same. She loves us too. Head bunts and nonstop purring lets us know.
I have a black kitty named Birdie she is such a sweetheart I’ve had her for 3 years black cats are my go to cat
Our family is on our third black cat. No bad luck, just companionship, amusement, and a lot of love!
Same here. I just adopted two from my wife and the little guy hopped in my arms and have been carrying my baby around since. I love them sleek and cool
I have 2 black cats. And they were so sweet and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I recently lost my my little lady. She suddenly got sick and passed away. My heart was broken. My sister in law found a little black cat roaming the streets. Couldn’t have been more that 5 weeks old. She asked me if I was ready to accept a new friend. I took him in and he has helped my heart. He’s so loving and seems so thankful to have been rescued. He’s a little purr machine. ❤❤
That's the best therapy for someone who has just had their cat pass away. Get another one.
My black cat disappeared two weeks ago and returned home this afternoon! What a blessed day! 🎉 Her name is Minuit, which is French for Midnight.
looks like minuit went for a looong hunting session 😋
So glad she came home to you!
Minuit is a very original apt name. For a Minou.
After hearing the cool black cat names. It reminds me of my current black cat named Luna. Meaning 'moon' in Spanish. But I've also had a male black cat in the past named Pepper. Another named 'Freda'. Because she reminded me of Freda Kahlo. Black haired and run-on all black eyebrows. They are such beautiful creatures. They come very slick dressed already. Just beautiful!
My 1st cat was a black cat. And i currently have a sweet house panther. His name is Little Bear
Little Bear, aww that's cute ♥
I own a black cat. He was born in our house. He’s a polydactyl (sp?). He has 7 toes on his front paws, 6 on the back. He’s very loving. He’s been fixed since before he was a year old. His name is Duke. His litter was royal titles. I tell my husband around this time of year that the Halloween decoration won’t stay in the spot that I put it.
That's funny Heather. I have 4 Black cats due to being adopted by them and they are very smart and loving and playful.
We adopted our black cat, Duncan, over 14 years ago, and he's lovable, gentle, and such a sweetheart, we can't imagine our lives without him. Interestingly, the name Duncan means "Dark-haired warrior." Appropriate for this mini-panther!
I'm lying next to my black cat right now. I've had him since he was three weeks old. Never knew there was a predjudice before I got him. My Irish grandmother had one, too. She said they were good luck. But the only reason I got him was because I LIKED him the best out of the litter (none of the others were black). He was the smartest.
I recently fostered 3 black 8 week old babies and l would happily adopt all of them. They were playful, energetic and loving, just like every cat I've cared for, their colour has no baring on their temperament.
Watching this with my black cat on my lap. Out of all my cats, my black cat is the best behaved and the friendliest. She is very affectionate and the only cat who will make herself known when we have people over. She honestly think that any visitor is specifically there to see her. She is amazing!!
Same here 😀
Also watching this with my black cat curled up in my lap! :)
My black cats have brought me nothing but joy! 🖤
I adopted my little black beauty 9 months ago. She stays with me always and I love her so much. She brings so much joy into our household.
I love black kitties and have one right now, she's my baby ♥named her Catniss. They really are the best cats!!! She's so affectionate and loving and very talkative = ^.^ =
We adopted a black kitten a couple years ago. Her name is “Spooky” and she is the most lovable, cuddly kitty creation ever!
I’ve had several black cats throughout my life & not only are they the most beautiful with their soft, sleek, shiny coats but they are so affectionate & have the coolest personalities! I will always have a place in my home for a black cat.
As a Christian, silly superstitions do not apply to me. For me they ARE GOOD luck! I have been blessed as I have chosen to adopt mainly my black raven beauties❣️🐈⬛
THANK YOU SO MUCH for adopting black kitties !!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍👍👏👏HAPPY HALLOWEEN ! 💘💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🐈⬛🎈🎃💕💞
@@spark_6710 shhhhh !
Raven is a cool name as well
Me too! I don't understand why some Christians believe they're bad luck or associated with the devil. All animals are God's creatures, after all. Stupid Pope Gregory IX.
Oh man, don't get me started on _those_ types of Christians. Boy do I have some opinions about that. 🤣
I love black cats, I've had one at home for 12 years and it's just a wonderful companion, it's cuddly, playful and very smart, it hears its name and we understand each other even without words. It is a great love. Right now he is lying next to me and contentedly in front. Those superstitions are stupid! Buddhists say that every person should share life with a cat, we can learn a lot from them. It's true, I already know that. With love Raven + Sara 💕🙏
YES !! I've learnt a lot from my cats !! They're gone very sadly ,but cats made me happiest!!! Thank you so much for adopting a black cat !!!💘 Yes,They're smart &very very loving ,affectionate !!! I love all cats & animals !! Black cats deserve so much love !!! 👍👍Happy Halloween 🎃 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🐈⬛🎈💕💞
I love black cats and I believe that videos like these help more black cats to get adopted, so thanks!! 🐈⬛
I've adopted 2 black kittens 4 years ago. I gotta say ive never had such affectionate, lovely, playful and smart cats. The amount of words they remember is surprisingly high and they open doors like its nothing. They're also always with me while i'm at home , cuddling and playing. Plus they can be real crackheads sometimes. They're my best friends, i can really recommend getting black cats❤
I currently have 2 black kittens. I lost my Smokey 2 yrs ago. Last year, for Christmas, I told my family I wanted a black kitty as my gift. I didn't want to adobt, though. I wanted a rescue. I ended up with 2, 1 boy & 1 girl. They are exactly 1 month apart. They were both the last ones left in their litters. No one wanted them due to bad luck. Onyx and Luna have brought such joy to our home, quite the opposite of bad luck.
A feral kitten, that I now named Milo, came around by my house a few days ago and within time, we caught it and took it to the vet. Vet said it’s a boy and it’s around 10-12 weeks old. He got his vaccinations, a few other things, and a checkup. For being feral, he is so lovable and friendly. Within time, he warms up to you and turns into a purr machine 😂 Definitely not bad luck, and now I have a huge obsession for black cats! ❤
I'm a cat mum to a black cat called Aiko (Japanese name means little loved one ) her sister is black and white. but Aiko's nickname is mini panther but Aiko gets more views on her Channel then we do LOL
That is sweet, love it. We share are home with 2 beautiful black cats 🐈⬛, Vader and Wednesday. Best cats ever
My black cat was gifted to me by his mom. I took care of the mom through 2020. She was a stray cat. I fed her in the morning and evenings. She would not come into the house because of my other cat. I created a winter home with at travel crate and a canister light for heat. She was pregnant spring 2021. She had 5 kittens. She and her kittens disappeared and Shadow prancing across the yard like a bodyless shadow. Thus his name. Love him.
I had a black cat, named Cinder, as a boy. She was very friendly and smart. She would play fetch with small toys.
My love for spooky things is one of the reasons I got my fluffy black demon. Last year I went through a really bad break up, and was on the brink of suicide. I honestly believe adopting my fluffy black boy saved my life. He's a sweetheart and so entertaining, he brings joy back in my life every day. My parents, sister, and best friend all have multiple black cats, and now with Binx (yes I'm a 90s kid) in my life, I understand why. Black cats are special.
I have a similar story I went to a park to end it all and mine walked up to me a black kitten and sat in my lap I was gonna do it because of my loneliness and he came and changed my mind and life I love my baby 💙💙💙
@@bluediamond327 I'm not a religious man, but if I was, I'd say cats are actually angels in a very good disguise. 🥺❤️
@@bluediamond327 and I'm glad you're still here to share your story, thank you ❤️
I owned a beautiful black Persian cat years ago. The most beautiful cat ever. I would certainly be owned by another 💖💖💖
I have a big beautiful black female. She’s long hair and looks sooo luxurious. She’s large also. Not fat, just thick 😊
My friends have a black cat and he loves people. He's a little bit of a troublemaker sometimes but not a bad cat at all. Just has a bunch of energy and likes to tear it up sometimes
We just recently moved house and last week we decided to sit in the garden to enjoy the sun. 15 minutes later my neighbours black cat comes waltzing over to say hi and ended up laying next to me for about an hour for petting. Sweetest little kitty.
The first kitty I ever adopted is a black kitty too! When I saw her little face repeatedly peering at me I knew it had to be her. My baby girl is literally walking sunshine in my life. I love her so much. This video makes me wanna adopt even more black cats ❤️, they deserve all the good PR they can get!
Me too my first pet was a black kitten
I adopted, correction… A feral cat who had been abandoned about 10 years ago prior to adopting me, gave me four kittens at the time she came into my home. One of them was black. I had no plans on having more cats, I had no plans of having a cat in the first place. One of her kittens is black. I found homes immediately for two of them. My vet had relatives that were looking for kittens, and she thought mine was the sweetest she’s ever seen coming into her practice. I had already made up my mind that Lux Supreme and JinJin. Lux turned into believing truly is the light of my life. I cannot imagine not having him. The reason I kept the second one, it’s simple is that kittens have way too much energy. Having two of them they can burn off some of that energy playing with each other. Plus I created a room just for them with high places, and hiding places. This turned out to be one of the best ideas I’ve had. I kept him simply because I was afraid he would not find a home, and if you did would it be a good home. I know that some people adopt black cat just because they are black and have no intention of giving them a loving home the tournament them instead.
I have 2 black cats I adopted. Sweetest natured cats who adore their cuddles. They are such amazing cats. I'd recommend a black cat to anyone. Totally amazing 🥰 great personalities despite their start in life and very bonded with me. Don't think I would have any other cat now ❤
I have a black cat he is sweet, loyal, and he’s funny as hell!! I never had a cat that is so cuddly and loving
My mom used to have a black cat named Sarah. Sarah was so beautiful.
I have a black cat I named her raven
@@shaneicereed3120 Adorable 😍 cat 😺.
We adopted a stray black cat and he was one of the most loving, devoted creatures ever
I rescued a black cat over 10 years ago, he was just a month old baby. We named him Chaos, and he's the king and he knows it! He's so affectionate, even with strangers (we might have pampered him way too much). Everyone in my family loves him, and he loves us back!
It's funny, once I was chilling with Chaos in my garden, when some random kid yells at my cat saying "oh no! a black cat!!" and ran away. But also my cat got scared and ran away lmao.
Then on some other random day, chilling with Chaos in the garden again, a random couple passes by, and the girl says "oh my God! Look at that little panther!" and pointed at Chaos, obviously. Chaos approached the couple and let the girl pet him and then they left giggling. That warmed my heart so much! I love Chaos, I'll be devastated when I lose him. He's right now sleeping beside me!
My first cat was a black cat and he lasted 16 years. He was the best cat and my best friend. He would massage my shoulders when I came home from work. He was at my side day and night. He loved being in the garden with me. He would save baby birds, baby rabbits from my white cat. He played a game of chase with the rabbits in the yard, he would chase then the rabbit would chase. He brought a live baby rabbit in the house one time and dropped him in front of his food bowl. Great cat
I love black cats, I used to have my own little house panther. He was such a sweetie and a cuddle bug. I miss him so. I currently have two ex-feral cats that I rescued and feeding another that has shown up for food. I’m older and have mobility issues or I would go pick an older one from a shelter. Great video.
I had two black Cats growing up. A Momma and her Baby. They were the best Cats. So loving and sweet. I still miss them. I hope to have another one someday.
I'm sure there are plenty in your local shelter who need a home ♥
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Oh I'm sure they do. It's too bad I don't have room for a 3rd Cat ☹️
I have a black cat named Boo. He is the sweetest cat I have ever owned. He is so calm and never jumps on countertops or tables. He is so compliant when we take him to the vet or if I need to give him medicine. He climbs up at the corner of the bed and puts his paw in my hand. I love him so much!!
My Onyx passed away 3 months ago, she was 9 yrs old and the sweetest, most beautiful little girl I've ever had the honor to have loved me and basically only me! She is deeply missed by me and her sister Muffet!!
I'm on my 2nd cat. Both were black and both were loving. 😻As an aside I have darker decor and the shedding is disguised. 😹I also love the more "alien" shaped triangular face shape that is prevalent in black cats here.
Wow! I thought about the shedding issue and this ginger kitty is a long haired boy, but our girl is a sleek short haired tuxedo cat and her shedding is a fraction of his.
I just adopted my furry blank cat about 2 weeks ago after losing my 10 year old girl Emma to cancer.
I named her Inka, and she's healing my heart day by day. I also adopted her brother Blue who looks nothing like her, but they love each other and I couldn't bear to separate them. They're both 4 and 1/2 months old and their kitten antics make me laugh. Laughter is a much needed emotion in this stressed out world, so if your feeling low, and you have the home and commitment to properly care for a cat or two, I highly recommend it!
Wait that's illegal furries are humans unless you adopted a furry with a black cat fursona lol not many would raise a furry
Thank you for not separating them. We fostered for years and people usually didn’t care about siblings being close. If they were bonded they had to go together or stay with us lol.
Well done, cats are the best, I really love black kitties so much❤️❤️
God will always bless you❤
@@greenbean325 A Freudian slip of misspelling! LOL
Black cats are honestly the best pets ever. The most loving, affectionate, playful, needy, adorable little dudes you could ever imagine. Little panther bears basically ❤
My black cat is named Shadow and he is literally a ball of joy and demands attention at all times ❤️
much ❤ to the melinated cats!
I concur
We did it! Made it official as of March 2022. He started coming to our back door - he chose us, really. Had him checked and vaccinated by the Humane Rescue Alliance here in DC, and then moved to the official adoption process. It took some weeks for him to settle in, but he really is God’s gift to us! We treasure every moment with him.
I’m in DC also. I have two male black cats 2 years old. I got them from my niece as kittens.
@@lueenlindsay3714 Bravo, Lueen!
We have a black cat named Sam! We found him after a rain storm. He is amazing!
We had our black cat Sabrina for 18 years. She was the best most loving sweetest creature ever. We still miss her every single day.
I love my black cat. he can be so affectionate and brilliantly cheeky
Our baby thinks he’s small, but he IS a panther - a 20-pound plus snuggle bunny! What a blessing!
The last cat with whom I shared a home was a large black longhair cat. She was the most amazing, intelligent and affectionate feline anyone could hope to have as a domestic companion. Even people who proclaimed they "hated cats" said they liked her when they visited my house.
We adopted a black cat a couple of years ago. She was less than six months old. Her name is Sister Bliss. She's pretty awesome. Crazy but cool. :) Lots of energy. Can perform some incredible acrobatics I haven't seen any other cat try. Super agile.
We have two beautiful Black Cats. Mushu was from a litter 6 years ago - he had a Calico Mom, 2 orange tiger brothers & 1 gray tiger Brother who looked like a Maine Coon with his long coat.
Mikey (Michael) was a stray over a year ago - we fed him outside for about 10 months, he gradually let us pet him. He would go away looking for females & the last time he came back after 2-1/2 weeks - he was beat up. So I scooped him up, brought him inside, made a Vet appt. for check-up, shots & neuter. Mikey is 3 yrs. old according to the Vet & is a very loving, curious & playful kitty.
We also have 4 Calico Sisters & their Brother (gray & white). Max is an orange tiger (Mushu's Brother) & Nicky was a stray 8-10 years ago (black & white) - he is our old man. All inside - safe. We live in the SW Arizona Desert with Coyotes, Owls & stray dogs on occasion so the cats are only safe inside. We do have the yards fenced in around the house but you know cats will always find a way out. So inside is safest. They have their toys & each other to play with for exercise.
Oh, now we have ANOTHER stray cat - Danny Boy who is a gray tiger & white cat - we feed him outside because he is skittish & will not let us near him (just like Mikey was originally).
No matter what the color of a cat or dog - we love them with their unique personalities. Judi
I have been adopted by 2 black kitties. They just showed up and moved right in like they own the place. Amazing furry kids that constantly amuse me with their squirrelly behavior. Very affectionate and just sweet. I'm lucky to have been "chosen".
I recently adopted my first black cat. I've had many cats in my life, and I honestly think this little guy is the most friendly and cuddly of them all.
I have lived with 3 black cats in my life and I haven’t had any bad luck and they were always friendly to me and my family
I have an 18 lb black cat who sort of looks like a Maine Coon even though he's just a street cat and the only bad thing about him is if he doesn't let you know he's there you might trip over him in the dark. But usually he yells at you before you can do that.
My black started out stringy and has grown into a magnificent 'little' panther. 20 lbs of purr. He comes if I say his name, and answers me when I talk to him. Acts like a dog, lays at my feet with 1 paw touching me. Adopted from rescue 6 years ago cuz he was the zoomiest in the place-such a good choice ❣
We adopted/rescued a black kitten as our second cat. He could not be better, or cooler, or more loving. We call him our Egyptian cat god Mau. 🎉😊. When I brought home kitten #3, Mau became the best big brother I could have ever hoped for! Black cats are very special, stunning and lovely spirits.
I have 3 cats, 2 are solid black and the sweetest. One is my husband’s and one is mine. His sleeps on his side of the bed and mine sleeps on side. Our 3rd cat (striped) sleeps in middle of the bed.
