In the US they are supposedly "bad luck" but my friend from the UK tells me that black cats are lucky there, and that white cats are "bad luck". I emailed a friend who works at a shelter and she said there isn't any color preference with those who come in looking for pets, there's more of a gender preference.....hmmm, that could be the next blog post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-33280821168613301612011-09-10T07:02:37.709-05:002011-09-10T07:02:37.709-05:00discounted black pets, discounted black kids...it ...discounted black pets, discounted black kids...it is so sad that we as a whole cannot learn to find beauty in all varieties of people and pets.Sunday Koffron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859347065249826781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-61780679440824225172011-09-10T00:20:07.099-05:002011-09-10T00:20:07.099-05:00I didn't know this.

As far as the inference, I suspect the link is weak and with pets the spooky factor is more at play... or as a culture are we resistent to bringing anything black into our homes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-88526764767826020452011-09-09T23:49:18.389-05:002011-09-09T23:49:18.389-05:00Growing up in a home with outdoor cats, it was onl...Growing up in a home with outdoor cats, it was only our black cat who ever came home missing stripes of fur where neighborhood kids had decided to experiment with razors. <br /><br />As an adult, my cats have all been indoor kitties so we don't have to worry about neighbors or coyotes, but my black cats have been my quietest, the most sensitive to my moods and thoroughly fabulous pets. And anytime I start to say that to people who avoid black pets, I think about how it would sound if I said it about my daughter and I cringe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-32011155751438532402011-09-09T16:39:57.122-05:002011-09-09T16:39:57.122-05:00Yikes!!So scaryYikes!!So scaryVonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421069895155350144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-72813699885552041442011-09-09T11:59:12.207-05:002011-09-09T11:59:12.207-05:00Interesting.

I had no idea until I read this post and then, this morning at the bus stop a lady asked me about our new black dog and said, "you did such a good thing, by rescuing a black dog -- they're the hardest color animal to place, you knew that, right?"<br /><br />I didn't, but I knew our girl needed a better home than she'd been in and so we brought her into our family.Truly Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038333888405690505noreply@blogger.com
