I've seen people post about how black cats are not popular because they do not photo well.

I disagree, I think they photo well.

It's just a solid colour with eyes floating there. They make great photos.

You'll be sitting there wondering... where is my cat and then the TV opens its eyes.

This sounds like a horror film, directed by a cat.

Back cats are great!

I grew up with a gorgeous black cat with short but compact fur, she was a mix of siamese, Norwegian forrest cat and Swedish farm cat.

She was a brilliant huntress, caught plenty of mice and fieldfares, and somehow, managed to come home with the tail of a squirrel...

They're all very good creatures.

Oh the black kittens. I had a tiny black kitten Anonymous who was the worst cat ever. Screeched and wouldn't let me pick him up or pet him, crawled into inaccessible places and peed where it couldn't be cleaned, tore up merchandise in the shop. He was such a nightmare of a kitten but one day (and it really felt like a change from one day to the next) emerged an enormous long haired black tomcat. Sweetest natured big cat. So affectionate, he would put his paws on my cheeks to "kiss" me. Smart too, still a little evil, jealous of any boyfriends. But such a wonderful adult cat. Rest in peace, Anonymous.

I had a black cat once. She was the smartest, funniest little thing and her farts were deadly.

Idk, black cats are 1 brain cell creatures that bring luck and happiness to everyone.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

do they have their own or do they borrow the orange one?

[–] Una@europe.pub 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Their own. Each black cat has 1 braincell, orange cats share 1 braincell with eachother

"What are your evil qualifications?"

[–] slingstone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I voted for Trump

Black cats may be evil, but they aren't vile. Take it back.

If cats could vote, do you really think we’d have a human in office??

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

If cats could vote, they wouldn't, which is definitely evil.

[–] PoopSpiderman@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I have three black cats, and I’m fond of evil.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Black cats are the sweetest of cats!

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

...I am evil. But not because I'm black!

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Hey I'm evil too! We should be evil together!
