"National Black Cat Day was created by Cats Protection on 27 October 2011 to help celebrate the majesty of monochrome moggies and beautiful black cats. When the campaign was launched, statistics revealed that black and black-and-white cats took, on average, seven days longer to find a home compared to cats of other colours."

Let's see your black cats 🐈‍⬛️

I saw a black cat yesterday, it was rather enjoyable.

This is a neighborhood cat that we call little girl. She comes by every evening for pets and to sit in my lap. A man up the street brings her inside at night but I have a heated home for her on my porch. I would love to take her in but keeping her street cat impulses down would be a nightmare. And we already have four cats.

Well it won't let me upload the photo I just took. I'll try to add it later.

Baby voids!

I really love black cats! They are mini panteras :)

That's just weird. I love voids. I've already given notice that our next two cats (not for a while yet, as the current two are going strong and showing no signs of keeling over) will be a void and an orange one.

That’s our combo! They’re the best. Except the orange one at the moment. He just slipped outside, and I want to go to bed…

Over the pond here in PA, here's our little void cat, Sweetie, AKA Sweets Petites from the Streets. She is a rescue from street life and shitty neighbors.

Not from the uk, but a black cat fan in the US. here's kaia.

Black cats of all nationalities are welcome :) The charity that declared the day is from the UK, but the idea that "black cats are beautiful and shouldn't be overlooked" is worldwide :)
