A Spoonful of Spooky Black Cats for Superstitious Souls Getting Caught Under Ladders

Meow there, meow there. Tis on the chilliest night in ol' cobblestoned cities, breathing with dark memories and characters who used to roam to and fro. Alleyways lit by kerosene crooks, charlatans of every kind, harrowing heretics waiting for their chance to pounce on anything dark, sinister, or gothic. From gathering under moonlight, to reciting ritualistic repertoires  to revive those 6 feet under, there are a sect of people in the world who appreciate things that aren't the standard happy-go-lucky fortes. There are those who prefer the dismal, the depressive, the dark, the gothic. From reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein to Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, some people prefer to linger in shadows than spend their time in broad daylight with other mortals. These creatures of the underworld might even prefer the occasional, yet superstitious black cat.  

Black cats are unfairly and unjustly pushed to the periphery of society, and I for one don't agree with this mistreatment of such a beautiful and symbolic animal. Forgoe superstition and enjoy these cute black cat photos.
