When I was in high school, we had a beautiful long-haired black cat named Salem. My mom still mourns for her.
In my area, shelters won’t let anyone adopt a black cat in October, for fear of what may happen on Halloween. Or after, when party people may just abandon the precious kitties.
If you have a black cat, I consider you very lucky!!

My World With Words 
Very smart of your local shelters to protect black cats in October. Poor little ones need all the protection they can get. Such a sad commentary on life, though, isn’t it?

It really is. I try not to get down thinking about such people and just pray for the safety of the kitties.

Salem sounds like such an exceptional kitty! I am so sorry that black cats have been exploited on Halloween – that makes me sad.

It makes me sad, too. My next door neighbor has a sweet little black kitty who slipped outside last fall and he was panicked–but it all ended well. Thank goodness!

The all-black cats I have seen in person look so cool. I had a friend who had one, and that kitty was the most friendly feline. Here’s to black cats and their owners everywhere!

Here here! I guess the shelters have a hard time adopting them out, but I’d take one in a heartbeat. If I didn’t already have two cats that demand all my attention!

It is pre-ponderous that they even have to do so.
