October is Black Cat Awareness month; Happy Black Cat Awareness Month!


Black Cat Awareness Month happens every October - it is a yearly event to raise awareness about black cats.


This special day for black cats began in 2013. Therefore, 2020 is the 7th anniversary of Black Cat Awareness Month.


Why Is Black Cat Awareness Month Important?

Black Cat Awareness month is important because, sadly, there is still superstition around black cats. This superstition is about some people believing that black cats are ''unlucky''.


This couldn't be further from the truth: black cats aren't ''unlucky''. Some cultures even believe that black cats are lucky!


The outdated superstition directed towards black cats sadly results in black cats being overlooked in pet shelters. The superstition also results in black cats being adopted less than other cats.

It is estimated that black cats are adopted half as less than other types of pets. Which is a shame, as black cats are the most adorable and loving cats that you will ever come across!


Why You Should Love Black Cats


There are many reasons that you should love black cats. From personal experience, black cats are the most loving cats that you will ever have.

They are a perfect companion, as they have a lot of love and care to give.


Black cats are also super stylish.


Their beautiful colour and gorgeous eyes make these cats stand out.


They also have an air of wonderful mystery about them.


Having a black cat is also great, as it is like having a mini panther as a pet - and panthers are one of the most gorgeous animals in the animal kingdom.


There is a lot to love and celebrate about black cats.


Happy Black Cat Awareness Month!
