It's sad that black cats get overlooked due to stupid 'age old' superstitions. I've always gone for black cats, knowing that they are always the last to be picked, like fat kids at school for a football team.
Vincent is my baby, just 3 years old, my 2nd all black cat. The old one called Dog died sadly in 2007 after 16 years.
Jack is 16 weeks old, a rescued cat. He was neglected from birth and unwanted. We fostered him initially but he soon became a full time member of the house. He's all healthy now albeit for an intolerance to certain foods.
