Love the little black one.
I have a very soft spot for Black / Black & white kitties.
I read somewhere that the numbers of those coloured cats abandoned has increased as they don't look good on pictures (selfies) as they can't be seen properly.
Makes me so angry.
I had a black cat, Charis, she died when she was 6 from a brain tumour, and her brother, Taliesin is black/white and now 15 and I couldn't ever imagine giving them up as they didn't take good pictures...

for some reason people don't take to black cats.
IMHO it's there loss.

ours has the best cat bed in the village! lol
What a nice bed
That said, I think KFC is a bit right in this.
A lot of cat owners know not to scare a cat off the cars etc. But far from all people have a cat which incl. KFC I suppose. The chance that they don´t know is high. The outcome is a car with cat ingravings on them. Then comes what else might scare a cat other than the owners of the car they sleep on.
Let´s face it, KFC and lots of other people choose not to have cats. Yet they have them because their neighbourgs let theirs run free and roam the entire neighbourhood.
A lot of these people who unwillingly have cats on their private grounds may not hurt them. But some will. KFC seems nice enough to them.

It wasn't my car (or my cat) in that pic so I didn't try and chase it away. But to be honest I didn't realise the thing about that making it worse anyway.... I had just assumed cats would normally use their claws when climbing on things. That said, I think KFC is a bit right in this.

Completely off topic as no pics but I was at the animal rescue home this morning and every single cat was out sleeping in the sun, 34 degrees here. Not a single one was up and moving around unlike the dogs! Lazy f
kers I love this thread and am finally getting around to putting up pics of my three:
Here is Sabre, our 11 year old Bengal:
Then Sabre with his nephew Scimitar. They couldn't be more different as Sabre has to be involved in everything we do, whilst Scimitar does his best to avoid all human contact.
and finally Nimbus, our Battersea rescue who has CH.Despite her disability Nimbus is definitely boss of the other two.
and yes they are all named after cars.

We used to have those temperatures just one week ago or so. They have lowered a bit now (thank you God). All 4 of mine slept all day and were wide awake at nightCompletely off topic as no pics but I was at the animal rescue home this morning and every single cat was out sleeping in the sun, 34 degrees here.

In nature, a cat will wonder off to find somewhere to die. Perhaps it knew it was time.
True, but I don't think that was the case with this one because he came out immediately I got the treats out of my pocket and he was meowing & purring quite happily.
