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 :blobinlove:

@swampcat @fuzzi All of my cats have been strays, ferals, or rescues. The only two that didn't come from a shelter, one was a feral that was born under the house of my mother in law, the other was a cat neighbors abandoned when they moved out. The rest were all from shelters. One was black, one was an orange tabby, two were grey, one was a grey tabby, and one is Siamese.

Stoner 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.

@nanook @swampcat

@fuzzi @swampcat Sorry for your loss. It is always hard, even though there will be another to bring joy, none ever replace those lost. My Aunt had a cat named boots. I was privileged to be one of the few people it would let hold it. It lived to 26 years old, active until it died while out hunting. None of my cats have made it past 14. None of my cats have been papered including the Siamese. The last three (Monster who passed from feline leukemia and the two I have now) have all been absolute sweethearts in terms of their personalities.

@nanook

Boots has white "hip waders" on his hind legs, hence his name.

@swampcat

@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.
