Black Cat Appreciation Day

It's Black Cat Appreciation Day! But I don't have a black cat, you say. Oh don't I? Ok, technically, not really..
but did you know that gray cats are really dilute black cats?? That's right, just like a calico with lighter colors is a dilute calico, a gray cat is really just lighter black. So really, my Leo is a dilute black cat!

Leo: I always knew I was special! About time I get some appreciation around here. (I know my mom gives me slave like devotion and all the love and snugglies I will accept, but you know what I mean..)
 

Leo: I'm gonna celebrate my appreciation day with a big ol' nap. How about you?
 
 
 
I'm gonna celebrate by giving him even more snugglies and kisses! :D

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!

We couldn't agree more! In fact we are part of the black cat "partial" sorority subcem as tiger-calicos we have black stripes and various patches of black. Musta been a black cat somewhere in our parentage. Happy day to you!

You don't need to be a black cat to appreciate them :-) Thanks for sharing the love.

Great to see you getting some appreciation this day, Leo. Plus you are celebrating the day by what you should be doing. A great cat nap. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Black Cat Appreciation Day. Thanks for sharing your cute photos with us.
