BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY- August 17

Yes, you can appreciate me (and all black cats) on Friday and every other day if you want to. I’m cool with that. I'm kool, calm, affectionate & a good hunter. My sibs scramble, jump & grab at anything that moves. Anything. They're like frenetic. Me? I wait. Then I wait some more. Then, BOOM!  I come outta’ nowhere & snatch it!!  Everyone is surprised!

INKEE-BEAR, THE BLACK CAT

Yes, I'm sitting in a dining room chair at our dining room table watching the birds & butterflies in our backyard. There are three new cats that walk through our yard. They must be watched. Very carefully. One looks like Spirit. Meowmuh doesn't  let us out of our house unless we're in our carriers, our stroller or on a leash/harness.

NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY - FRIDAY, OCT. 27

Hey you Black Cats. Let's celebrate! Friday Oct. 27 is National Black Cats Day. DID YOU KNOW:  22 breeds can come with solid black coats. The Bombay breed is exclusively black. Black coats are more prevalent in males. Genetic mutations make us more resilient to disease. Excessive melanin causes our coats to be black. We're easy to name. Adopt one of us.

"A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH" by Jamie Perry

I was drawn by Jamie Perry!

This cat "hangs out" on our wall. He's cute but he looks like a brat...like "a force to be reckoned with." Meowmuh loves the artist that drew him, Jamie S. Perry. She is a colored pencil artist who creates drawings, prints, pet portraits, tote bags and t-shirts. Find her at www.jsperry.com/products/prints.

EGYPTIAN BLACK CATS

I'm a black Egyptian cat.

This cat "hangs out" on our wall too. When guests come over, they say this cat is sooo handsome and then they say he looks like Spirit. Spirit is an Egyptian Mau cat. All Egyptian Maus have those same gooseberry green eyes. Spirit might be handsome, but I'm cool.

BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY

Black Cats have been the subject of sculptors, painters, photographers, and authors since time immemorial.  Cultures variously view the Black Cat as bringing bad luck versus bringing good luck to their household or ship.  Ancient Egypt paid homage to the goddess, Bastet (depicted as a woman with the head of a Black Cat).  To gain favor from the goddess, Egyptian households kept Black Cats as pets. Read the Mews N News article, 'Black Cats,' posted on 12/22/15 which depicts superstitions, factoids & iconic Black Cats.

ALL Black Cats are special! I am. My aka is "Mr. Kool." I'm in slo-mo' except when I get a sliding, skidding, crazies attack. I am sweet & loving...maybe a wee bit stubborn. You would love me.  Click & Read "Black Cats."
