Dark And Stormy: 20 Pics Of The Intimate World Of Black Cats

Black cats tend to carry a bit of bad rap. It is thanks to the Norman and Germanic people that the black cat superstition exists, even though in Great Britain and Japan they are considered to be a good luck symbol. But as cat lovers, we know better. We know that these bottomless pits of black are actually bottomless pits of cuddles, purrs and more cuddles.

Black cats are thought to be one of the 'friendlier' cat breeds (they'll still put us in our place if we forget it) and even retain their friendly disposition while awaiting adoption at kennels (yes you should go and adopt a black cat, especially if you are bothered by shedding fur, because black fur doesn't show up on black clothing).

This hooman certainly enjoyed Sabrina the Teenage Witch and perhaps even their kitty too, as he plays the role of the bewitched cat rather well in these photos. His hooman better watch out for any magical mischief.

"Gato Negro - could not pass up this wine"

Now, this is some serious black cat energy. Look at this refined gentleman posing next to his artisan-produced wine, with all the pride, wonder and expectation of a proud vineyard owner. Anyone fancy a wine tasting?
