Here in the UK and Europe, black cats are considered a sign of good luck - especially if they cross your path.



I have a black cat called Merlin. When I found him as a kitten on the streets he was little more than skin and bone, and my vet said he probably wouldn't have survived another week if we hadn't rescued him. He's got such a happy, friendly personality that everyone who meets him is charmed by him, so he really does live up to his magical name. He's brought me nothing but joy and I consider myself very lucky to have found him.

I have an orange striped cat named Stripes and a black cat with very little white named Loki. Unfortunately I am unable to post a picture. Yes Black cats are very affectionate cats. I have had many and have fostered many throughout the years. I do hope all of the superstitions about black cats stop for good.

I have a black cat. His name is Stewart, he's all black, and I give him some cod liver oil in his food so he can get shiny, and also it helps with the shedding. He's not a tough cat, you would think that a black cat would not be scared, but he is scared of a lot of things, if he walks by you and you move you foot and startle him, he will jump really high. He's a rather large cat (he's always on a diet, but he never seems to lose weight), and he also has these green eyes, which get wider when he thinks that he is getting fed, and not because he's putting a hex on you or something. Where we live, some people think that a black cat is bad luck or something, and it's pretty funny when those people come in and look at him crossed eyed and won't touch him, so he sits and stares at them just for fun, because I think that he knows that they are scared of him. But, he's just a big baby, plus he's a great accessory for my witches costume!

I have a black Manx named T'Siri. The name is from India, it means Beautiful One.



She doesn't dp cat pictures. One sight of the camera and she disappears.



She loves playing tag, chasing what I throw and catching it 2 feet off the ground. She's 7 lbs, and loves chasing and dominating the two tabby boys, both 15 and 17 lbs, not fat- big cats. She's absolutely mommie's girl.

Not right now, but the best and most beautiful cat I ever had was black and I hope to get another one day.

I had a black kitten when I was growing up. I could not keep him inside (my father did not want another cat in the house) so as much as I did not like him outside, he was an outdoor cat. He was very well behaved and was always waiting outside of my window when I got up in the morning. He mostly stayed on the back patio and would sometimes bring me little dead presents like chipmunks and field mice.



My older (indoor) cat hated him with a passion. The few times that they interacted, he would groom the insides of her ears while she hissed angrily.



One day as the sun was setting I was sitting with him and watching as he chased a mouse.. right into the street. A pickup truck was approaching, which startled him.. he froze right in the middle of the road, and then tried to run back to me. The truck *swerved to hit him* and managed to crush one of his hind legs. He ran into the woods behind my house and I chased after him, but the sun was setting and as it grew darker it became harder to see. I never saw him again. Ever.



(This is one of the reasons that do not advocate outdoor cats.)



In short, he was a beautiful, well-mannered cat who met an untimely death. I don't have any pictures of him, you'll just have to trust my word on how handsome he was!

My black cats aren't anything close to being bad luck. My brown tabby and tortoiseshell, however, are completely different stories! Those two get into everything! :)

I have a former feral black cat named Sebastian. He is amazing. He is one of the nicest cats I've ever had.

I currently own two mostly black cats(brother and sister). My male has white paws, a little bit of white on his belly, chest and face. My female is half black and her belly, chest and legs are all white.



Growing up I had many barn cats and many of them were black.

Well its my mothers technically but yes black cats are very affection ate. I have mostly tiger/ tabby cats but I have a tuxedo kitty who is mostly black. I also find that they tend to "talk with their people" and have very soft and smooth coats. I've never believed in the superstitions!!!

My black cat is a little princess, who has given me nothing but good luck. My great aunt is superstitious though. It was hilarious when it dawned on her that Missy is solid black and she asked if she ever crosses my path. Of course she does; she's a cat! Cats love trying to trip their owners. :)

My boyfriend has a mostly-black tortoiseshell cat. Before he got her he was specifically looking for a black cat because he thinks they're beautiful. The rescue he went to was so used to people not wanting black kitties that they were suspicious of him when he specifically requested one! It's sad. They can be just as sweet companions as any other color cat.



Here she is:

I have a tortoise shell cat. She's mostly black with little spots of brown.

She's very loving.. Always curling up in a ball next to me or on top of my belly. She purs in my face and follows me everywhere.





Here's a picture:

Psh, I do.



She's only affectionate when she wants something, usually food. Otherwise she's a cranky old bitty.

She was abused/neglected by her previous owner so her being all rawr to people is understandable.
