Today is National Black Cat Day. Being a black dog, I think it is important to honor our black felines too. They are often looked over at the shelter because of silly human myths about being bad luck. Sheesh, sometimes humans are soooo silly!!
Mama's childhood cat was a black kitty named Pywacket(after the cat in the the ancient movie Bell, Book and Candle)! She was a snuggle bug and never hurt a flea. OK, she did like to hunt mousies but you can't blame her for that.
That silly raven, Speckles, is behind me, isn't he? He wants me to remind you that black birdies also get a bad rap. Although, the way they bully the other birds at the bird feeder, I can understand why!
But today, we are especially thankful for all the black cats out there!
Remember to spread the word that you shouldn't judge a kitty, puppy, birdy, human or any living thing...by it's color!
happy back kitty day to all the cute panthers....

ReplyDeleteOh yes, I fully support this - my very first kitty was a black catman with a tiny white bib and his name was Tutu Jacques (TJ). Which also reminds me to say never let your baby sister have the responsibility of naming your pet... hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Rosy's Words of Wisdom (and good ones they are!) ... we support RAVENS, the ones in purple on the football field! And over at Poe's cemetery too.
ReplyDeleteYou look so absolutely adorable and so does the big black bird. I love your closing statement and I do wish that our world could come to grips and believe it and and practice it
ReplyDeleteYou represent us black pups well, Rosy. We think it's just crazy that black pets get so overlooked at shelters.
ReplyDeleteNiece Rosy....tell mama I love the name Pywacket
ReplyDeleteHappy National Black Cat day to you my sweet Black K9 niece

Charlee: "We kitties are also very thankful for birds."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "Black, green, purple, whatever. As long as they are hopping around, we'll stare at them!"
My last kitty was black and our angel Little Bit was a black pup. Black kitties and pups are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around and my best to your peeps. ♥
Black kitties, pups and birdies are all very special and we know you are sweet Rosy! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteI love the black kitties. Beware the raven.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and Layla is black also and we should never judge a pet or person by their color, everyone deserves to live in peace with each other, Happy Halloween
ReplyDeleteGood message today, Rosy. And love how you looked at that raven out of the corner of your eye! Watch out, or he'll steal all your bling. XOX Xena
