August 17, in the U.S., is Black Cat Appreciation Day, not to be confused with Black Cat Day which is October 27. Black cats, sadly, are often the last to be adopted due to ridiculously long-held and unfounded superstitions.

Let’s celebrate the black cat today by showing your fellow Pandas a photo of the special cat(s) in your life—black or otherwise. After all, they make our lives gentler and more joyous so it’s only right to celebrate them as often as possible.

 

Besides, it’s an excuse to look at pictures of cats.

Ok, but is that a photo of Martin Milner in the background or a great look-a-like family member? And yes, the cats are great looking as well!

She was the runt of a litter of five, named for her white throat. Still only half the size of her brother.

My Void was a shelter rescue, as well. Black cats are the last ones to be adopted. Apparently, there's still some bias against them.

For background, my cat is very stupid. She likes to eat her own hair so we have to vacuum constantly, hairballs at least twice a week, and will meow as loud as she can at the top of the stairs at three in the morning. But she’sa sweetie pie, as she understands love, pain, and is fine with children. She loves hairball medicine, but not hairball treats, being brushed, will love being pet for hours, likes to attempt to eat plastic, steals tortilla chips and crackers, and cuddling. She’ll purr if you touch her.
