AWWW!

My parents cat is black. She's an old cranky pud, but I love her.

[Kore]

Love these!! This is one of my most recent fosters, Snoopy. He went to his new home 2 weeks ago.

[sweetcheeks]

Meet Merlin.

[Brie]

How about a MOSTLY black cat?



She is nearly toothless, has awful dandruff, and is a complete klutz. But we love her anyway.

OMG, he looks like a bobblehead.

Yay!! Here are my 2. You'd never know that the smaller one isn't even a year yet.

[womet]

And here they are asleep on our bed.

My (big) tuxedo kitty.

Fatty is a tuxedo. His giant white paws might disqualify him from this.

Oogie says, "It's nice you made a day for me and all, but I'd rather nap."

[Robot Jen]

This is Hoover.

I don't have a picture of mine but relook at Robot Jen's and replace Hoover with Chester!

I didn't know such a day existed!

Love that so many of us have black cats! Here's Paco sittin' pretty.

[orangello]

This is the Bug, looking seductive whilst participating in his favorite activity - sitting on things.



ETA: sorry for the huge catface!

This is Vader

I wonder if any of these cats are the Bombay breed? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_(cat)

The characteristics fit mine pretty well. She's a cuddler, she's always purring, she has an odd little voice (more of a screech than a true "meow," like our tabby).

When we first got her, she was RIDICULOUS about food. She'd start crying if we went anywhere near her bowl or the food bag, she'd clean her bowl within seconds and then go after the tabby's food (we had to separate them during mealtimes for the first month or two), and if we dropped any of our own food she'd bolt for it and eat it no matter what it was.

That may have been due to being a shelter cat and maybe only being fed once/twice a day or however they did it. I don't think she was a floor cat who had to compete for food, but who knows. She's gotten much better about it now.

One day, I walked into the bedroom and found him snoring:


We had to keep the litter boxes in our bedroom when we had overnight guests, so he decided this would be a sweet place to hang out:


Here he is with Velociraptor (and me) on one of the many hot nights in which we camped out in the living room:


Fatty is not impressed with the constant photography:

As a wee little kitten...


As a sassy adult...

My kitty is jet black, and she'd definitely attached to just my H and I, but she's about as cuddly as a pin cushion. She'll act like she wants to snuggle all sweet, and then less than 5 minutes later she'll be digging all four paws of claws into you as she springboards away and goes racing off. She's also very picky about her food; she doesn't eat a ton of dry cat food and is it took us several different attempts to find a treat she'd eat and not just sniff at.


Umm... also, mods, ignore this as a report to V's last post. Not sure WTF is going on with that.

[lintscreen]

A better one of Vader...

[MarmeeNoir]

This is my bitchy cat, Siva. She is temperamental, but is loving when she wants to be. I've been her momma for six years and I cry because she'll probably die before I do. :*(

We think our older guy, Nero, is a Bombay. He is the friendliest cat I've ever seen. He is also super smart. When we first got him, DH and I had been to Ikea and had gotten some small stuffed animals for SD for Easter. We'd left them on the kitchen table. The next morning, he had knocked the owl off of the table. When DH picked it up to put back on the table, Nero's ears perked up and he watched it attentively. So DH tossed it down the hall, and Nero's love of Mr. Owl began.

We were so afraid that the original Mr. Owl would fall apart, so we bought 6 more from Ikea and kept them in my bedside table. He knew they were there. After I'd leave for work, he would go in the lower part of the table that was open and would paw at the drawer above to open it. Once open, he would free all of the other owls.

I have 2 fat black cats!

Here's the boy, dumb as a box of rocks but very cuddly


And here's his sister, she's a bitch and will only come by you if she wants to

[qwerty]

Here's our Princess girl. She's a smoked black cat.

[fortmyersbride]

both of our boys are black cats, but only the older one is a Bombay. Hopefully I did the attachment right, this should be a photo of him...
