Welcome to my website devoted to black cats....

One of my own black cats relaxing in a box!

All cats are intriguing, intelligent and independent creatures. The black cat, however, has its own identity amongst the cat population. Its popularity has waxed and waned amazingly over times past. It is a breed that is affectionately regarded in the main but it has also achieved notoriety, and the effect of its chequered history is still apparent today. The black cat is considered to be an omen of (confusingly) either good or bad luck, depending on who you believe. Personally I would prefer it to be the former, as my two black cats have certainly spread some luck about in their time!

The black cat is also a popular addition to Halloween parties in the guise of the witches familiar (helper and assistant). Negative perceptions of the black cat still linger in the public consciousness , which is borne out by the comparative difficulties that cat rescue centres have in re-homing the black cat.
