Thank you for pointing that out. You are absolutely right. It was not our original intention, and we have already corrected the article.

Dead right Ben - still don't get why black cats in USA have such a bad press - over here in UK - they are simply black cats.

You are so right. Clearly this is meant as a joke BUT there are so many people out there who really really believe that black cats bring bad luck. Not a very smart thing to post.

I own a black cat named Charlotte and she is the sweeetest ball of fur you'd ever meet. When I pet the base of her tail she flicks her tongue everywhere because she loves it so much. When you don't give her attention she starts to pitifully meow until she gets love. And when you pet her she purrs very loudly and nuzzles you all over. Also she tends to lick you at times as a sign of affection. Black cats aren't evil. They're misunderstood.

If you are so narrow minded, to believe this kind of c**p, then you shouldn't adopt a cat at all, or any other animal. Invest in yourself, maybe.

I live in Portugal and was shocked to find out a few months ago, while volunteering for a kennel in my hometown, that they stopped allowing adoptions of any animals on Fridays the 13th, because some a*s-backwards people still practice voodoo and cast hexes/evil-eyes in this country and these cockwaffles will adopt animals, especially black animals, mostly on Fridays the 13th, specifically to sacrifice them usually with the "noble" intent of making bad things happen to other people. So, if in the US people avoid adopting black animals, I'd say that's still not as bad as what happens in this otherwise beautiful, supposedly 1st World country which unfortunately is still, clearly clearly very backwards in certain cultural aspects.

Well well well.... if thye dont want them.... GIVE ME ALL THE BLACK CATS my friends already call me lucifer so why not. i love em to bits!

You took the words right out of my mouth. Some moron needs to get their head out of their a** and think before posting. Horrible post and will no longer follow after I pass this on to more Advocates for Cats

BenDugas, that is the truth. I adopted a beautiful, precious black kitty in 2014 from an animal rescue group in Wisconsin & because she was all black I paid only a small pitance (which included her licensing). They told me black cats are most difficult to find homes for. Plus they said they do not allow anyone to adopt black cats in October due to Halloween & weirdo's who want to do horrible things to black cats such as "sacrificial rituals". That's seriously SICK! My beautiful Dorothy is the love of my life & a perfect "roommate". She's now almost 8 yrs of age & I wouldn't part with her for anything.

Yes, screw that. The one black cat in my life has my heart and I'll always associate black fur balls with love and affection.

Don't worry. There are enough evil worshipping people.

I for one appreciate black cats, evil or not

It's not just black cats, it's cats in general. People really do believe cats are evil and this isn't helping. People saying take it as a joke, I understand that it's a joke, but cats have a low rate of being wanted and this stuff with those crazy superstitious people will freak about this which hurt the cats more with having a good home. Just like pit bulls. There's bad in every breed, there's bad in everything just like people. People just like to point it out in everything which is why this isn't the best post

Ben Dugas, if people are dumb enough to really believe black cats are "evil," they better not get any pets at all. With that stupid mind who knows what other stupid things they could do to those animals.

that does not prove she is evil... YOU SIT INSIDE A PENTACLE TO PROTECT YOURSEF FROM EVIL AS IT KEEPS EVIL SPIRITS AND DEMONS OUTSIDE IT! Just a sensible wee puss taking precautions!

Do you really want someone taking care of an animal who's so stupid that they'd avoid a black one because of superstition? It helps weed out the idiot potential owners. I think this article is just fine.

It is a freaking joke Jesus holy s**t calm down, it ain't even a real pentagram that is a f****n STAR! Someone probably would have lost their s**t if it was a brown cat or grey or white, just shut up and enjoy the funny joke.

I agree with you Ben!! It was interesting though.

You all need to get lives.

Really Tina, it's a damn joke the only place I've heard of black cats being evil is in America, it's just a cat, dumb owner probably put it there or its fake.

I so totally agree with your viewpoint. Ignorance continues to run rampant in the hearts of many people's and these types of postings only serve to perpetuate lies that can lead to harm. Shame on the author for his/her lack of sensitivity and lack of insight!

Learn to take a joke people! For f***s sake

Black dogs, too, unfortunately. Apparently they don't "photograph well"...

Yall need to chill out! This makes me WANT a cat, and NOT to torture it. You pc retards will turn anything into a crusade. People are responsible for their own actions, not an article they read. Climb out of your safe space and lighten up.

The only cats I wouldn't adopt are tabby cats. I already have 2. I see tabby cats everywhere and they look all the same. In the lost/found cats sites there are so many and you can't say if the lost tabby is the found tabby...

Congratulations on taking something light-hearted and running pathetically with it for your own stupid agenda. Also for writing the dumbest thing I've seen all week. And I read something written by the "How Bow Dah" girl yesterday. HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE POST FUNNY PICTURES!

I have 3 black cats rightnow, and same, they're the sweetest.

Mine is a jerk. Bites and scratches.
