I feel a sudden urge to go to a shelter and take the cat, which has been there the longest.

This hit realy hard. I have a black cat. And she is not evil or bad omen - she is my lucky star.

But I am a good kitty...

I walked into an adoption event and the very first cage had a tiny black kitten. I didnt get further than that. I do not understand the hate. He was the most adorable thing I had ever seen and now he is the most regal, statuesque cat I have ever had.

I had the blackest cat with golden eyes, I rescued him on a parking lot when he was 1 week old called him Bastet and we lived happily together for 18 years. Black wats are cool!

People are so damn weird. It makes me sick. Halloween, witches, rituals ... are we living a.d. 1467??? 😤

i cried and then I hugged my cat.

This is a lovely sequel to the previous somber comic with the black cat.

I had a black cat a couple years ago. Unfortunately she passed away but she was so sweet, following me from room to room just so she wasn't alone. She didn't like to cuddle much, wouldn't let me pet her more than 5 seconds, but she was still the best. Waiting for me during my shower, cuddled on my towel. I miss her. I went and adopted another rescue since then, but will always remember my beautiful black Bella. <3

Reading this for the second time...still tearing up and hugging my black kitty Onyx.

I've saved little tortoiseshell cat (much more black than yellow) and my dearest boy cat whom I've lost this year was a tuxedo (more black than white). They are both great little souls, he loved me more than I coul ever think that cat can love (I have cats my entire life) and I do hope that his cute, little soul will wait for me somewhere on a much better place for both of us.

I love the ending! So heartwarming and sad at the same time. Make more please! I love them!

I love black cats they have such silky smooth dark coats but unfortunately I am allergic to cats but I wish I wasn't so I could have a black cat this is so sweet

I love my black kitty.....he hugs me when I cry...like now.

I volunteer at a shelter and they explain a lot of this stuff. Apparently, we think that there are so many black cats because of superstitions and things like that but in reality, superstition is only about 1/4 of the reason why. The "all black" gene in cats is VERY common, therefore shelters get a LOT of black cats. Also, black cats don't stand out that much rather than on orange tabby or a siamese or something else. And, some people say that "black cats have the same face" so that makes them not stand out even more. This is why some shelters have people that switch their bedding to lighter colors, so they don't blend in, and they write very positive and unique descriptions so their personality stands out. Also, black cats are the best :3 :P

Black cats are wonderful! People in some countries are enlightened enough to know how awesome they are!

Thank you for the sequel. Now I know that kitty can finally go to happy place knowing the old and her mo has each other. I can't stop crying.

Black cats are the absolute greatest. My good boy saved me and is the greatest source of love and affection you could ever ask for. I love my baby panther and he is the best luck I've ever had.

... people adopt cats to sacrifice them? Any cult making one sacrifice anything is rubbish anyway ... the most advanced brain in all known biology, and still some of us believe in pre-enlightment-fairy tales - and the burden of they idiot believes is, as always, placed upon an innocent animal. Black cats are cool. I really enjoyed the 20 years I shared with one.

I love blackheads I don't think they give bad luck my TT had two black cats one named midnight in the other one that I forgot her name

One more thing...animals are like small babies that can't talk and tell you what's wrong. So he kind to them. And anyone who goes out of their way driving or accidentally hits a dog or cat...think of it as a small child. You would stop and help if it was a human. Do the same for someone's pet they prob won't see again. Please drive careful in neighborhoods and take the time to at least check on the animal and call authorities. Thank you.

I love cats in general, but 8 have a soft spot for black cats in particular. My mother had a black cat when I was born, and he looked after me for the rest of his life. I currently have two adorable black cats inherited from my father, who got them at the local shelter a couple years before his death.

I'm not crying you are!

As a catmom of two sweet black beauties, this touches me to my very core.

Those pics of the kitty behind the bars...heartbreaking. I'm sitting here, crying like a baby. I need to go cuddle my dog.

Dang it... stupid onion cutting ninjas. *sniff* I should know better than to read this sort of stuff on my lunch break. Now I need to go back to work all teary-eyed. And of course, no matter the breed, RESCUED PETS are the best!

these always make me cry so hard why are ppl so mean to black kittys they are sooooo sweet

When some one will harm something that is small and helpless, it speaks volumes about their character. Real men will reach out to take care of one of God's littlest and most helpless creatures. My wife had a little black cat twining around her legs as she was doing laundry in our apartment complex. We took her in and have never looked back. Our Tess is an amazing and special cat, she is our comic relief and an amazing acrobat. My wife calls her God's Valentine's day present to her. Our little black cat has stolen both our hearts.

(Reads this while 16 year old black cat adheres to lap... two more... somewhere, wrecking house...) I read the Jungle Book as a kid and always wanted a Bagheera... now I have three (all named after Marvel superheroes)...
