Time for a peek?
Guess what.. Today is national black cat day! (October 27th) And I have some cute photos for us to appreciate ๐ธ
And here's some fun facts too! ๐โโฌ
Black is the most common feline coat colour - there are as many as 22 recognised domestic breeds which can have solid black colouring. Most black cats have golden eyes due to their high melanin pigment content.
Solid-colored cats, such as entirely black cats, result from a recessive gene that suppresses the tabby pattern. However, when the tabby pattern is not completely suppressed, faint markings may appear in certain lights, even on a solid black cat! Leaving some black cats with a secret tabby coat ๐ฎ๐โโฌ
Now here's a fun fact - black cats can "rust" in sunlight! Their coat can turn a lighter brownish-red shade due to the fragile nature of Eumelanin, the pigment that is required to produce the black fur. The rusting effect can be even more pronounced in cats that frequently spend time lounging in the sun โ
And some Halloween themed black cats:

I have loved cats most of my life, wild and domestic. I have two cats, one is a kitten and really outgoing and active. His name is Ricky and he actually fetches like a dog. He brings me one of his toys, I throw it, and then he brings it back to me. When I brought him home at 6 weeks old, he was so super active, almost constantly on the go. Ricky is playing fetch with me right now. I have had several cats in the past, each one unique and dearly loved.

Aw, Ricky sounds like such fun and a good character ๐ธ do you know what breed he is? Certain breeds are known for their love of playing fetch as well as some other games, and kittens especially have so much energy and are great to play with!
Wildcats are great too, do you have a favourite?
