Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!
August 17 is Black Cat Appreciation Day! And while we don't need an official day to appreciate the UNDENIABLE SQUEENESS OF OUR MIDNIGHT-COATED KITTEH FRIENDS, we won't scoff at the chance to celebrate their supreme cuteness.
Unfortunately, however, it isn't all about d'awws and *splorts*. Some reports suggest that, due to superstition, black cats are the last to be adopted from shelters. We would like that to stop.
