I've had several black cats, and tuxedos.
Add to the list that black cats absorb light when you try to take a photo of them, they're kind of like a black hole! A flash is needed. 
Moonpie, after finding the catnip...
@fuzzi Catnip heaven. i love it 
So true about getting their pictures. all i ever seem to get are black holes also. Rarely i can get them when the light is just right and i even get to see their face
All of ours are black at this point we had a mix of ,calico, Maine Coon and others. all mutts and rescues . They are the best . Love them all 
@fuzzi@freeatlantis.comStoner Moonpie just passed, age 20. I currently only have 2 cats: Boots, a feral tux, and Deborah, a born-feral-now-spoiled-indoor-cat, and she's also my first Calico.
My avatar is Momma Cat, a feral who had two litters under our shed before we could trap her. Her last offspring, Mittsie, passed last year, age 14.
I've had black and tuxedos, 2 Siamese (no papers), plus gray and yellow tabbies.
@fuzzi @nanook love it .Cats always have a way of naming themselves, either appearance, behavior what ever . We don't name ours right away we kinda let them name themselves. Here's "Max" and he is a Max 18 lbs of pure lovable mush. He thinks hes a wild Panther but hes gotten the nickname "Chickenboo"...afraid of his own shadow.
@nanook @fuzzi You are special , Boots allowing you hold her/him is a statement. That and that your cats lived so long. I truly believe that cats live longer when they feel loved. We've been blessed with several like that and i am so honored they were in our lives. Such joy. I also the strays rescues and "Mutts" as i call them are the best . their temperament is so loving and greatful. it's the best.
@fuzzi @nanook so sad the loss
it tears me up every time. takes a apert of your heart every loss. That's why i don't think we will be getting any more after these pass. it's just so hard. They 've brought so much joy to us and even know i cant imagine our world without them they are all spoiled rotten and are always reminding us who's boss.This is Alley cat )after her brain surgery) she's 6 lbs and runs the house like a General. Such Cattitude.
