We used to feed two stray black cats that we dubbed Sirius Black, and Bagheera. Our neighbor eventually adopted the friendlier Sirius Black, but their kids renamed him Kylo Ren, before they moved away.
We currently have a very petite, almost all-black female cat. She has a white patch on her throat, a slim streak of white down her chest, and onto her belly, and then she has white toes. We named her Momo, after a petite, female, black-robed shinigami from the anime “Bleach”. Our cat’s personality fits well with the character she was named after, who is known for being either sweet, or psycho.
I just lost my Susie zQ. What is the best way to introduce a new older into our Holme. I ave one fuzzy little yellow boy who is 6.
We’re owned by 2 black cat rescues. One is Esmeralda. She’s at least 11 years old, has one cloudy eye, and loads of purrsonality. The other, Saiyah, is probably close to six years old. She’s full of spunk and trouble and has the loudest motor I’ve ever heard. Love them to pieces. They’re beautiful and graceful when not Scooby Dooing through the house. Best kitties ever!
I am on my 8th cat and my 3rd Black Cat. I have named him TREY. as in uno, deuce…………I adopted him at age 6 and have had him going on 4 years. All my other cats were adults and rescues. Best thing I have done.
