I'm sorry it took so long but I hope you like it <3) This edit is also for all the black cat therians/alterhumans out there!!!!!!!!! :DDDD STAY FLOOFY >:] ────── ✮⋆˚꩜｡⋆ ° ♥︎ ────── Btw this is a reminder to keep your black cats indoors during spooky season, some cruel people think of them as unlucky and might do things to hvrt them :( ────── ✮⋆˚꩜｡⋆ ° ♥︎ ────── Fun facts: 1. Black cats can 'rust' in the sun! If you spend your summer by the pool, your hair might get lighter. The same applies to the fur of black cats, which may develop light red or orange highlights when they spend a lot of time in the sun. When a cat lounges in a window perch or spends time in a catio, the sun bleaches the pigment from the fur, causing it to lighten. 2. Black cats are less likely to be adopted :( Though black is a common cat color, studies have found that black cats are less likely to be adopted than cats with other fur colors. This may be because black cats have long been tied to superstition as symbols of bad luck or witchcraft. The next time you’re looking to add a new cat to your family, please consider a black cat! They deserve happiness too :< 3. Many cat breeds can be black, but only one breed is ALWAYS black! While many cat breeds can have black coats, the Bombay is the only true black cat breed. The Bombay was created in the 1950s as a hybrid of the Burmese and American Shorthair. Bombay cats are nicknamed “parlor panthers” due to their good looks, sleek black coat, and gorgeous copper-orange eyes. 4. BLACK CATS ARE NOT BAD LUCK!!! The superstition that black cats were associated with the occult started around the Middle Ages, and most black cats fell victim to this misconception. Many believe that this led to a decrease in the cat population and the eventual spread of the bubonic plague, or Black Death, in the early 14th century, which was a disease carried by mice. The perceived connection between black cats and witches’ evil deeds continued to North America and came to a head with the Salem witch trials of the 1690s. No one knows exactly when black cats got their bad rap, but a black cat crossing your path certainly won’t bring you bad luck. In fact, inviting one into your life has direct benefits, like improving mental health.
