I got Clancy from the pound when he was a kitten, almost 17 years ago

I never give my black cats names that reference their color.

My Raven is about 3 and she still constantly pulls kitty shenanigans. She even uses the tiny kitten meow when she wants her own way. I of course fall for it every time, she's spoiled rotten.

behaving more sedately adult-like. She is indoor/outdoor though ... so, I am sure she gets rid of a lot of her energy outside.

Raven is the perfect name

so much so that she didn't photograph! A picture of Kwanny sitting on a sofa looked like a picture of a sofa which a black hole in the middle of it, and two glowing eyes near the top of the hole.

My Cleopatra is impossible to photograph. That little kitten is so cute, full of energy. Wish I had half as much energy as that!

When I made the mistake of letting my daughters talk me into going to the shelter 'just to look'
We had a 22 year old cat at home already.
Tabby was 1 year old, already had a litter that was adopted, but there she was with her green eyes. She had some trauma to her tail, almost like someone had tried to cut it off.
She is 15 now but she acts like a kitten!
Love this girl!
I am going to have to enter this and come back with her picture!

We love black cats in my family. I have had two that crossed over, and I have two now, plus a white cat with gray spots.

My brother has a black kitty, also.

Looking forward to that photo, blondie!

Not gonna Happen!
Problem being, No hyperlink or camera icon appears to allow me to do that! It could just be a matter of me being too Old- i am 56! To be technoligically adept!
She does look a bit like inky above, with these gorgeous green eyes.
Have a great weekend.
