Black Cat Awareness Day

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.

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.

Twenty-two! Wow! That's pure stubbornness. Our oldest cat lived to be 17, and I think that was on the strength of her hatred for me - I was born when she was about five, and she never forgave me for it.
