Black Cat apree-she-a -shun day?  Oct. 27?  Feel free to appreciate me. Here's some  pawsomly purrfect suggestions:  Treats, letting me finish any morsel of food left by the other cats, a nap in the stroller, laser game, no swats or hisses from Gracee, and curling up next to my hooman if & when she ever takes a break or gets on the computer.  I'm open to suggestions.

We cats love to be up high. When I'm sittin' on this beam, I can see the second floor & down below to the first floor. When people walk in the door, they never look up so they don't see us. They don't know that there's a 'cat-on-the-beam' watching their every move, listening to their every word. It's our way - secretive, hidden, you know what I mean.

'Meanie' Gracee said I insulted her. I'm just a truth-teller, know what I mean? This is a real live pic of Penny. One of her front paws is sorta' different. Penny jumps & runs just like any other dog. She's happy. Most important, she's loved. So are we. 'Priceless Penny' is available on Amazon & Kindle with 5 Star reviews.

Gracee:  What's this? Inkee-Bear: A book. Must I explain everything? Sigh. Gracee: Maybe Meowmuh will write a book about us!  Inkee-Bear:  Not about you.

What did I tell you? Patience is a virtue. Patience pays off. So, just be patient. You'll always get what you want.  See what I'm sayin'? Sophee's doin' her catnappin' beauty-rest thing in her fav cat tree in the other room. And me? I've got the catwalk all to myself as you can clearly see.

Sophee: Got ya!  On the run you gi-normous bully? Scared of a little girl half your size? They say I'm pretty, but I can take care of myself, know what I mean?  The proof is in the pudding, so to speak.  Inkee-Bear:  The better part of valor for a gentleman in this situation is--give it up. I'm outta' here--at least for the time being.

Sophee:  Here's that something special I promised! Warned ya'! Oh, didn't hear me? Earth to Inkee!! Get goin', get off my catwalk, get outta' my face!  Inkee-Bear:  Good grief. She's serious. She's the prettiest calico I've ever met but... Yikes. What's a gentleman to do under these circumstances?

Sophee:  You're not comin' up here.  I'm not even gonna' look at you.  Don't see you, don't hear you, you're not even there.  Inkee-Bear:   I'm not lookin' at you either. Don't see you, don't hear you, you're not even there. Trust me, when I do look at you, you'll be gone.

More FACTOIDS about Black Cats: The Pilgrims were devout believers in the Bible -- God was light & Satan was darkness/blackness. Being a suspicious group, anything remotely associated with Satan (darkness/blackness) was EVIL!  Anyone caught with a Black Cat was severely punished, even killed.

Wanna' be in the know? Here's some pawsome FACTOIDS about us Black Cats: There's no one breed of Black Cat. There are 22 cat breeds in the Cat Fanciers' Association directory that list 'black' as a color option. Black Cats can be boys or girls, but more are male than female.
