Reasons We Love Black Cats

Black cats are beautiful, mysterious and misunderstood by some potential pet parents. Black cats (and dogs) are also the last to be adopted or rescued. We want to share why we love black cats (all cats, really!) and why you should too! 

Do you share your life with a black cat? Does your cat like to "help" you when you're on your computer? We know that ours do and thankfully with all of the work-from-home activities we have all been involved in, our pets have been welcome into many Zoom rooms! 

Every year, in November, black cats are celebrated and we want to let you know why we love black cats and dispel some myths about black cats that still appear to linger. 

• Black cats are NOT evil. Black dogs are NOT evil. Yes, we know that some people still believe that. Black cats and black dogs are just as loving and amazing as pets of any other color. 
• Black cats are sleek and beautiful. 
• Black cats are loving and enjoy being with their pet parents. 
• Black cats love to climb on climbing trees and use cat scratchers. 
• Black cats love to play with toys. 
• Black cats love to sleep in the sun. 
• Black cats love catnip and catnip toys. 
• Black cats like to take road trips. We know that some cats enjoy being in a car while other cats will howl and yowl the entire trip. If you want your black cat, or any pet, to enjoy traveling you need to start by taking short trips (even just driving around your neighborhood) and then take longer trips until your kitty enjoys it. We know that many cats never get into a car unless they are going to a veterinarian and in their minds, that is a bad connotation. Taking trips that don't involve going to the vet will help your kitty learn to enjoy a road trip. 
• Black cats love to have a hiding place where they are warm and comfortable. 
• Black cats LOVE their people -- we know we said that before, but it bears repeating! 

We urge you if you're looking to expand your furry family, to consider adopting a black cat or a black dog. They need and deserve homes and they will steal your heart!
