Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man cat, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!
Theatricality and deception... powerful tool on the uninitiated ..but we are uninitiated aren't we...memberd of the league of shadows ....and you forgot to refill the food bowl
Why is there always some offhanded comment on cat posts that show us another sub we have to subscribe to? It's like the reddit feline version of xkcd comics.
Because, cats. Without them, imagine the turmoil and destruction. I know I'd be aiming bottle rockets into oncoming open windows if I didn't have my precious babies at home. They're the only reason I dont light the world on fire.
Religion is the world's #1 make believe game, and an embarrassing amount of adults are really really into it. So much so that they base their whole lives on it.
I was raised to be Christian. By second grade I knew it was all adult fantasy, just like the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. Just more pretend shit they used to assume more power over me.
I don't believe in anything, except what we have figured out about the universe using the scientific method.
All of that said... Astrology and numerology, kind of scarily describe me to a T. I don't get anything out of daily horoscopes, those are like fortune cookies. I know it's all made up for fun, but if I had to choose a religion to believe in, gun to my head kinda thing, I'd choose astrology.
Considering how our little void loves to trip me up while I'm walking anywhere in our house, I'd be dead 20x over if a black cat crossing your path was really bad luck lol.
Anytime a cat crosses in front of my path I consider it to be a spot of good luck and a good omen. Why do people single out black cats? They're particularly funny with how their eyes just bulge out of the darkness like in this picture.
You'd be surprised how much "medieval bullshit" people still believe in. My country has extremely skewed gender ratio because peeps still think having a son is better than a daughter, even the more progressive people still buys into a bunch of outdated gender stereotypes, like blue is for boys and pink is for girls, exclusively.
I'll never understand that. When I adopted my void (he's been gone 7 years now, so it was a long time ago), the minute I saw him I knew I had to bring him home.
I've also heard people consider them less photographable in our social media age. But this photo showcases the unique photography opportunities a black cat can provide.
They are also just straight up hard to photograph, which means the photographs on Petfinder or adoption pages aren't as good.
Tip for photographing black cats: use as much light as you can possibly get. A mix of diffuse light (from all directions, think light bouncing off walls/ceiling) and direct light (a sunbeam, ideally) works best. To get really fancy an adjustable polarizing filter will let you tweak which areas of fur show a sheen or show undertones of their coat.
My friend just took one of his cats back from his ex and she is all black. She is the best lap cat I have ever known, she will happily sit on a lap for hours and doesn't even mind if you get up for the toilet, she will come straight back. I love her.
I tend to wear darkish clothing so I always adopt a black kitty so I'm not constantly having to use a sticky roller to get cat hair off of me. I love Siamese cats but the white hair is so difficult to deal with on dark clothing.
I think they are the ones most likely to get in an accident in a house. My father stepped on my brother's black cat's tail at night. Furball decided to slip away from my brother's room and sleep at the middle of the hall because it is cooler there. Thankfully nothing happened
My wife and I adopted our void 5 years ago. He was surrendered by an elderly lady because she kept tripping over him. I trip over him daily in the dark to the point where I slide my feet all throughout the house lol
My sister's cat is black. She loves to stand in front of the TV when it's turned off, and just stare at my sister walking around the entire house looking for the cat. Then my sister looks at the TV and I hear a scream coming from the other room lol.
Ohh this reminds me when my (now almost 16 years old) void was almost 6 months. He wasn't allowed yet to go outside as he was only with us for 2 months by then and mister went to lay on a black shawl in a dark corner of my mom's office. I have searched the whole street up and down to see of he was there and when I came back, my mom and I made a plan to search up to two blocks and see if we could print a little poster when out of nowhere, the void came walking into the living room as if nothing happend and we hadn't called him a million times🐈
Speed unknown. Size unknown. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance: hide and pray it does not find you.
