Thank you. Thankfully he doesn't seem to know and appears content in the knowing he is loved.

But to be honest I wouldn't call my post cat love! I am a dog person through and through. The cats just sorta ended up with me. It's a long story. They were alright, I guess, haha. Anyway. My point was just that hating on black pets is nonsense, be they cats, dogs, bunnies, or what have you.

I have heard what sound like legitimate arguments against black cats, though. While it definitely might be BS, i've been told that short-hairs tend to produce more dander, which i can at least confirm with ours. Wouldn't trade her for anything, though.

*Thanks for that term, ssmary! I'm using that now! And also, we tell ourselves that the similar behavior exhibited in our cats is an interest in physics.

Black dogs (and other animals, I'm guessing) are often the last to be adopted for a number of factors. Some of these include:

-fear/superstition about black animals
-black dogs are not as easily photographed (think about online adoption sites) and don't stand out as much in poorly lit kennel areas

Google it and see for yourself. Here's a good link to start with: http://www.blackdogrescueproject.com/bla…

And then go adopt a black dog.
