Happy Meowloween: 36 Black Cats That Purrfectly Embody the Spooky Gothic Spirit of Halloween

Everyone goes through a secret emo or goth phase in their life. Goth aesthetic is honestly one of the most underrated looks out there and is associated with darkness, gloom, and spooky vibes. But what people should really be associating with the goth subculture are CATS. Now, I know what you're thinking... "Of course someone from I Can Has is going to think that cats belong everywhere". But think about it. Cats are sleuthy, cats are coy, and cats are mischievous little boys. When it comes to cats, especially black cats, there's nothing that can top that goth energy. 

This time of year, especially, the goths come out to play. With Halloween decor to decorate their homes all year and the seasons finally getting cold enough to wear 40 layers of black lace and chunky black leather boots, goths are in their element. Just like the witches of yore, goths have adopted black cats as their unofficial preferred pet. One goth photographer in particular, @purfectpose, specializes in photographing the unphotographable, capturing the beauty and grace of black cattos. So if you've ever taken a picture of your black cat and wondered why it was so terrible, it's because you're not Tonka the goth cat photographer.
