- There is no one breed of Black Cat.
- There are 22 cat breeds in the Cat Fanciers Association directory that list “black” as a color option.
- Many Black Cats have golden eyes, which is the result of their high melanin pigment content. The contrast in eye color to coat make black cats mysterious and sometimes foreboding.
- The color black is associated with metaphysics and spiritual avenues. A pair of gold eyes shining from a shroud of black fur is very intimidating to some. Thus, some cultures associate black cats with unfavorable qualities and bad fortune.
- Black Cats can be boys or girls, but more are male than female.
