I’m not sure who determines these things, but today is apparently “Black Cat Appreciation Day” – a day to celebrate and raise awareness about black cats.  Sadly, black cats are often thought to be bad luck and, therefore, remain in shelters without the chance for a forever home.  In many cultures, however, black cats are considered good luck!  Next time you are looking to add a furry feline to your family, please consider adopting a black kitty like this one!
