Today is Black Cat Awareness Day. As a mixed-colour kitteh, Telstar encourages you to be kind to black cats and tuxies alike.



Yes, you may bring me treats, my fur-less two-legged servant.


I'm working from home today as one of my students saw fit to pass along his/her cold (the little darling!). This is a fairly accurate representation of Telstar's idea of "helping" me to work.

Are black cats really less popular? I've known some lovely black cats. There's one at The Golden Hind called Marley. He's got long hair, is friendly and playful, and is a constant fugitive from justice, evading chasing staff to use his brilliant nose to locate anything made from chicken.

Hope the cold gets better soon.

And oh, how I am laughing at the video! Have you seen his one about his cat trying to wake him up? This guy really knows cats.

Yay for progress on the cold. The painful throat stage is nasty; glad it's passing.

For the record I am boggled that people don't like black cats! My late tuxie, Figaro, was an absolute darling.

And thank you for pointing out what I had somehow missed - that Simon has a whole series of videos and a website! I just watched every one, laughing like mad all the while. *g*

Black cats are the best! I had a wonderful black cat called Melissa (because it rhymed with 'hisser' - she was the kitten off to one side, hissing and glaring at my parents on adoption day, and they chose her because she had character). She owned the household and chased away cats twice her size, and even had a go at dogs. She lived to 22, partly (we suspect) on the strength of her hatred for the new cat. Badass.

Jaz is my second (mostly) black cat, and he's awesome. People are stupid.

Your kitty is so cute!

I think it is so weird that black cats are less adoptable. I wanted a black cat when we picked out our Kitsune. She is completely black too even her whiskers and paw pads.

Hope you feel better soon!

Black kittehs are the best kittehs! Why would anyone not want one? (Am literally in tears watching Cats Protection Stourbridge videos, OMG. I am ridiculous.)

Awww, I love black cats! I currently live with one all-black kitty, and two tuxedo kitties. And I hope your cold gets better quickly!

A day for remembering my own black cats: three companions of various periods of my life, now all gone. But I can think of my daughter's two with unalloyed pleasure :)
