We were adopted by a black stray cat. He followed my wife home. He now lives with us and is a wonderful affectionate compagnon. Smartest cat I have ever seen. He saw which drawer we were putting his spare toys in. It is a cheap ball at the end of a stick that is destroyed by him in 20 minutes if he is left with it. As a result we have spares, well, he managed to open the drawer himself to get to play with the ´fresh’ new toys.

[@DanceintheRaine666]

My black cat used to open the (previous) refrigerator, so we had to "bungee cord" it closed, or he'd make himself a midnight snack. He also liked to jump on the stove timer, so it would sound off (again, in the middle of the night). He could also drag open the HEAVY heating drawer on the bottom of the stove, such that you could not store food even temporarily in that feature. When he was a kitten, I lived at my water access only cabin and the adoption agency ~ knowing this ~ made me promise I'd not let he nor his female litter mate outside....as they were concerned that an eagle or raven might snatch them up. It was incredibly difficult to sneak out the door without them...and a book suggested I gently mist him with water to discourage him from either jumping on the counter or being in a dangerous area. When I misted him he LEANED IN and SAVOURED the spritz. I invariably laughed and he'd (temporarily) escape.

It’s likely not stink eye, it’s the contrast of yellow green eyes against black that makes her seem like she’s doing that. Your anthropomorphizing her. (Attributing human qualities that aren’t there) If you toss that idea you’ll find she’s just a relaxed cat.

I have a little, black cat with one eye (she was abused before I adopted her and she's tiny(!), very likely the runt of the litter). She gets treated like a Princess - sleeps on my bed, loves to eat whatever is on MY plate (she refuses to take food from anyone else), has more toys and things to play with than any other cat I've ever had! And of course, she gets all the lovin' she can stand - which is a lot.

We had a stray Tortie adopt us. She had her kittens in my flower bed. Three of them were black. We were going to try to get them adopted (as we already had 3 cats in the house) but after learning about how they are treated we decided to keep them. My sister has one of them and we kept the other two. They are the best cats we have ever had. We love them so much 🖤

[@DanceintheRaine666]

I also adopted a male* black cat and his female* littermate, a Tortoise shell, from the local SPCA. They were of course neutered/spayed prior to adoption. Their mom was a Tortoise shell KITTEN who conceived ~ the vet stated ~ on her first heat. The idiots who owned her dumped her off at the SPCA when she was in labour...which was probably for the best as the staff helped her immediately. The kittens needed a lot of assistance as the mom was too young to know how to care for them.. It was a litter of 4 female Torties and 2 black boys. I'm so glad one of the two tortie females was snatched up by a prior visitor who purportedly spent 5 minutes choosing a kitten. My son and I were there three hours....I attempted to talk the staff into giving the 5 min shoppers the other Tortie kitten (as the three were physically well nigh identical) but they said no, that would be unethical. I am so grateful for that intervention. That fortuitous accident Lead me to choose the high energy, super playful "squirrelly as heck" BLACK littermate. He is the best cat. I'm so lucky someone wanted the quiet little siskit

My little boy is 14 months old he came after my little Ebony died of cancer. I wasn’t looking, I was sobbing to much and couldn’t think of another baby. I live in Idaho a friend in Fort Worth Texas called and said she had a rescue, 2 months old and he had been saved with his brother from a terrible mess. My response was, but It’s to soon my baby’s ashes aren’t even back. We’ve been friends forever so instead of listening to me she sends a photo, not fair at all. There he is a really adorable little baby black kitten, born on July 4th in San Antonio Texas. Where I had buried my Mom 2 years earlier. My friend offered to personally fly him to me 1st class. He’s so darn cute. Yes I gave in. Onyx is his name and he saved me because I was so lost. He is my absolute joy. My friend saved me also. Our friendship over all these years, cultivated at a Christian Conference over 20 years ago. Onyx is 1 of many black cats I’ve owned in my 75 years. They are so wonderful.

I have 3 gorgeous black cats. I did have 4 but sadly one passed away fairly young with kidney failure a couple of years ago. The only problem I have with black cats is I also have a black sofa so before I sit down, I check to make sure I'm not going to sit on one of my black cats. All of my cats have been adopted (well, failed foster actually). One of them, Kira who came to me as an 8 month old abused, neglected kitten now wakes me up every morning with a soft paw tapping my face. So beautiful especially as when I first got her she was terrified of us. Wicked owners surrendered her, riddled with worms, covered in fleas and sores, grossly underweight and full of cat 'flu. It took many trips to the vet to sort out her health problems and she wasn't spayed either. As soon as my vet gave her the all-clear, we had her spayed and microchipped even though she is an indoor cat only. The turnaround in her was so heart-warming and she is now the sweetest, most loving cat you can imagine - and mischievous too. I was only supposed to foster her but after all she'd been through, there was no way I could have parted with her. I also have another 7 cats of various colours. All except 2 are failed fosters and all are loved and cherished members of my family.
