Taking good pictures of black cats can be quite a challenge. 

Something that every black cat owner learns very quickly is that taking cute pictures of black cats… is a challenge. And it's not because they are not cute. We see them every day. We know that black cats are adorable. Their expressions, their itty bitty black paws, their striking eyes. We see it. Our phones just… have a hard time capturing it. And more than that, for some reason, black cats seem to always find the darkest spot in the house and decide that spot is their favorite one. 

Therefore, not only do our phones have a hard time capturing our black cats' features, but when we take a picture of our black cat on a dark surface, it's like the cat is not even there at all. And although that can be a bummer when you want to capture your cat being cute on camera, it also gives us some of the most iconic camouflage cat pictures ever. No one does cat-mouflage quite like black cats. And every black owner knows that too. So, we asked you - our cat-loving audience - to send us some of your best black cat cat-mouflage pictures, and like always, you did not disappoint.
