:hi:

[johnnie]

4. Clancy looks pretty frisky

Calm down boy! Calm down. :)

[Skittles]

7. when he's awake he gives me these looks

I swear he is just waiting his chance:

[johnnie]

11. Yikes

Cats always remind me of Clint. Ready to kick ass if they need to.

[bertha katzenengel]

29. He's giving you the fish eye

Or as I call it when Richard looks at me this way, the

FISH AYEEEEEEEEEEE!

[texanwitch]

5. I had a black cat since I was 4 or 5 years old.

I don't have one right now, but I will in the near future.

:hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. Midnight has a tiny spot of white on her chest, but she's still pretty

damn black and she kicks serious ass, too.



And here she is tired from a long day of ass-kicking...

Geez, she acts like she owns my bed or something.

[Skittles]

9. don't get me started on the bed thing

:o

[bertha katzenengel]

30. Ooh. Do you know what kind of plant she's in?

I love photos of black cats inside green plants. Yeah, really - specifically that. This is a good one.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

36. Um...the kind that is a vine on the side of our deck.

It's her favorite outside place to sleep.

[MiniMandaRuth]

10. I have one who is about fifteen years old.

She's an old lady perfectly black.

[auntAgonist]

12. I have a black cat with attitude! His name is Blackie

how original eh? :)




HE rules over all. 2 other cats and a Rottie. He's the boss.

:hi:
aA

[Skittles]

14. I like the tail in the face

cute! :D

[haf216]

17. I don't right now, but I have in the past.

I love them maybe my next cat will be... well maybe not I truly believe that cats find you.

[Skittles]

19. true for me except my latest cat

Riff Raff was an injured stray, so elusive I ordered a feral trap over the internet to catch him and take to the vet....he has been with me since December and only now am I able to pet him without getting swiped at. :D

[haf216]

20. I foster kittens and am kinda looking for the right one that fits in with

my two kiddos, but they tend not to like any other cats that I bring into the house so it might be a while.

[libodem]

22. I have a solid black cat

She is about 15 years old and lives on my bed. I've never figured the picture posting out. She looks very much like Sophie. Her name is Toonsis. I call her toonsie mooner mow.

[Madrone]

Three.

Othello




Iago




and Neshameh




and one that desperately wishes to be a kitty-

Bodhi

[Skittles]

25. AWESOME!

:thumbsup: I have a thing for black cats - something about their eyes dominating their face just intrigues me :)

[BamaGirl]

23. two white cats ;)

I have two white cats that look so much alike none of us can tell the difference. I'll have to see if I can find some pics of them. ;)

[kedrys]

35. Two white cats here too!

Known as The Polar Twins, they turned 4 last July.

Neutrino, aka Mui Kung Fu Master, aka Thieflet, aka Li'l Princess:



Her brother Quark, aka Dave The White, aka Mr Lovely:

[sakabatou]

63. Can they hear alright?

[kedrys]

69. Actually, yes

I asked the vet about that, and she said it's mostly a myth that white cats with blue eyes are deaf. These two guys have the most acute hearing of just about any cat I've ever met - plus Quark has Scratchdar(TM), which enables him to detect whether another cat is getting petted anywhere else in the house. It's really spooky. :D

[femmocrat]

26. I have an ancient black cat.

He was a rescue (as a kitten) from the animal shelter and we never gave him a name. We just call him Kitty. He is 17 years old and has lived outside since we got him. He's a really sweet cat, but has been diagnosed with cancer in August. This could be his last winter. I'm not getting another one when he "goes."

[bertha katzenengel]

28. Will you accept one with a white star on her throat?

[Mutley]

31. Aww, he's beautiful!

:loveya:

My sister has a cat who is all black except for a little smudge of white just under his nose, and on his front left paw. His name is Jojo.

[Tripper11]

32. Here's Pumpkin.......

and a friend of hers.



She's the 2nd black cat I've had....I love them.

Here she is with her brother, lounging.



Her brother, Gizmo is a bit of a doofus, that's why we love him.

[Dangerously Amused]

45. I think your Gizmo and my Ralphie would get along just fine.

They both seem to have a unique perspective on life.

[LaurenG]

33. My mom adopted him in 1992 though

He was born in August of 1987. His name is Jordan, because my son adored Micahel Jordan and the cat would try to play basketball with him. My son is now thirty and the cat is still living with my mom.:)

[sakabatou]

64. Jeebus, that's old

[kedrys]

34. We have two

Evie Sekhmet O'Connell:



Imhotep, who we're pretty sure is her dad:



One of Evie's nicknames is None More Black. She's almost 5 and a half, and this is maybe the third photo of her where you can actually see her face. Immie is much more red - he used to roll in the dirt every day, which I think is the cat equivalent of getting a henna :D.

[scarlet_owl]

37. I have two black cats.

Olive does have a little white on her belly and neck, but Nico is solid black.

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. Merlin says, "Hey!"

He's actually part of a web group of cats, "A Cast of Merlins"



And here's my Dad's new kitten, Licorice (so named...for his favorite candy)

[Haole Girl]

39. Just sayin' "Hi"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear KC2!

(Pardon me for threadjacking, my dear skittles!)

You're back from Hawaii!

Did you have fun? I sure missed you......:loveya: :hug:

Your cat is beautiful, BTW.......

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

46. Thank you...I missed you too!

Don't have much time, since I have company visiting for the weekend...Did you get your lab results back yet?

Please be sure to stop by my "New Picture Thread" ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5634634&mesg_id=5634634)!

Love ya!:loveya: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. Yes, I got my lab results post-op.........

Everything is good......no signs of malignancy anywhere!

I will check out your picture thread, sweetie....

Welcome Home! :loveya: :hug:

[Haole Girl]

51. I'm so glad Peggy!

Good news!! :bounce: :hug:

[Solon]

40. Here's Kit Kat...

She has a spot of white on her belly, other than that, totally black...

[Skittles]

57. having an argument with my Tombo

he claims that if a black cat has even a tiny bit of white, that technically makes the cat a tuxedo....I say no, that makes it a black cat with a tiny bit of white :o

[InvisibleTouch]

41. Black cats bring good luck...

...or so says one of my favorite animal superstitions. :)

It's actually very rare to find a solid black cat without even a few hairs of white on the chest or belly. Beautiful pics in this thread - makes me want to have a cat again!

[LTR]

42. I've got three

For some reason, they just gravitated toward me.

Must be some kind of vibe I give off.

[ganeshji]

44. little cat

I have a solid black cat who has some issues. She recently ate a trash bag, the small bathroom kind, a bleach pen, and a package of pepperoni. This is hardly the most damaging thing that she has eaten. What is funny is the fact that she NEVER gets sick from her "diet."

[Skittles]

58. welcome to the DU, ganeshji

my, that IS strange :o

[Pied Piper]

47. Here are mine...

Miranda and Minerva:


Minerva watching the traffic:

[Skittles]

59. wow

that is an ADORABLE picture

[Oceansaway]

48. heres mine.....

my lil Whoopie DotCom...playing peek-a-boo

[Jamastiene]

49. Domino almost qualifies.

She literally has only a few white hairs on her stomach. You can barely see them. I once had a black cat named Kodak too. She was totally black without a trace of any other color. I used to keep her out of the windows during the month of October. Domino does really get in the window that much. Halloween is a great holiday for many of us, but black cats, IMHO, need to be especially protected during that entire month. There are some really mean people who hate black cats. :(

[cwydro]

52. omg

Your cat is beautiful and looks just like my BoBo, who is no longer with us....He was a beautiful sweet big solid black giant...your post made me cry for him again.... and he died 6 years ago.

[BarenakedLady]

53. No but

I have a black and white one.



Rocky

[ironflange]

54. Time to drag this old pic out again

Here's Cleo in her pretty dress waiting for her prom date to arrive. Doesn't pink go nicely with black?

Actually, she's not completely black, she has a little white star on her chest, and lots of stray white hairs here and there. She's a real character, but I think black cats are almost a sepecies apart. I've never met a black cat that didn't have major personality quirks.

[jmowreader]

65. That is the most pissed-off looking cat in history

And you're right about the "personality quirks." The first black cat we had (we've had five who lived past kittenhood) was self-petting: she would go into the bedroom, pull your hand off the bed and walk underneath it to pet herself. All of them were serious attention hogs. The only black tom we've had was gay, and one of the other black cats taught herself to open an outswing door (one you pull toward you) to get into the bedroom so she could sleep under the covers next to us.

We only have one left, but she's probably the worst attention hog of the five. And we thought her mother was bad!

[haele]

55. Moggy and his friend Sylvester...

Moggy only hunts:
"Wild Whiska's Pouches"
Roast Chicken and
Whipped Cream bottles.

Well, maybe (when outside) the occasional lizard tail, if the dog scares one enough to cause it to lose it's tail.

[Arkansas Granny]

56. My black cat has some patches of white under her forelegs

and a patch on her belly. You can't see them when she is walking around or laying on her tummy, but when she lays on her back it makes her look like she's wearing a white bikini. Kinda neat!

[pbartch]

60. Sophie (our BLACK Girl) and Snickers like to fish

Sophie....contemplating the wonder of it all......


Soph and Snick....together again.

[pbartch]

61. Actually the first picture is Sophie and Snickers talking

to that fish ......let's see the movie that Don Knotts was in -- The Amazing Mr. Limpet!!! Doesn't that fish look like the cartoon fish??

[leftofthedial]

62. no. the only black cat around here

keeps dematerializing

must be a short somewhere.

[yellowdogintexas]

66. Clark, and the Vampire Fang of Death....

baby clark


Black fur, black whiskers, black nose, black toenails. The most seriously black cat I have ever lived with.

Weirdly enough, in his third winter, he sprouted these widely scattered coarse white hairs in his winter coat. They shed out this spring so currently he is all black again.

He is a big boy, too; about 14 pounds and not fat. And as mentioned above a real attention hog.

My sweetie.

[yellowdogintexas]

67. do you think my sister has enough of them?

[Cobalt Violet]

68. No but my friend does.

Here is a picture I took of them.

[madinmaryland]

70. Here's Sonia....

with Panda...


With Panda washing her...


Truffle (1989-2004)...

[RumpusCat]

71. I like black cats and I can't deny (pics)

This is my black cat, The Pugsley. I have had two others, one who is gone and dearly missed and one who lives with my parents. Black cats are the best--they're beautiful and, as someone upthread said, they tend to have rather, er, strong personalities. All hail black cats!
