Though I have
never been owned by a black cat ... I do enjoy daily life with a "black
dog" who is wonderful and amazing in every possible way. And many
years ago, during another life in Florida (the years 2010 through 2012) at
our home there, we tended several feral families of mostly black cats ... the
mother Annie, her little ones Bravo, Charlie and Delta Dawn and about the same
time, along came Annie's friend Carlacita and her brood of black kitties and
tuxies. They lived on our porch, sleeping, eating and playing there ...
and romped about the backyard, often sunning themselves around the
barbecue. Over time we were able to catch and release (TNR) the kittens,
though never successfully the mother cats. At the time, life didn't allow
us to bring any of them into our home ... but we loved and enjoyed them all ...
and still, in my mind ... Black Cats Are Great!
Aww, dad says this makes him think of Orbit. Says he was a dear old guy. I don't know, all the attention should be turned back to me now.
ReplyDeleteWe love our black feral kitty and hope he has a special day today too.
ReplyDeleteBlack cats have the most beautiful shiny furs.
ReplyDeleteLook at all those sweet babies! Mama cats are hard to catch; they have a natural tendency to be suspicious of everything! Thanks again for sharing Da Boyz today, and Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! And I'll make sure I call Dougie Doug 'dark brown' from now on.

ReplyDeleteSo cute to see those kitties from back then.
