It’s National Black Cat Day — Let’s Rewrite the Story

Today we celebrate the mysterious, the misunderstood, and the magnificently sleek: the black cat. 🖤

For centuries, these beauties have carried the weight of superstition — symbols of luck, magic, or mischief depending on the tale. But let’s set the record straight: black cats are just as loving, loyal, and full of personality as their more colorful cousins.

In fact, animal shelters often say black cats are the last to be adopted — not because of their temperament, but because of outdated myths. Today’s the day to flip that narrative. Celebrate the elegance in their dark coats, the gleam in their green-gold eyes, and the quiet confidence that only a black cat seems to have.

Give your black cat an extra treat (or three) today — and if you don’t have one, consider visiting your local shelter. You might just meet your new lucky charm.

Because sometimes, the most magical thing is the love of a cat who’s been overlooked.
