Black Cat Appreciation Day History

Black Cat Appreciation Day seeks to appreciate the black feline. According to Petco.com, there are about 19 black cat breeds. Black cats are commonly known as a symbol of Halloween due to their connection to witchcraft and sorcery. Because of this association, black cats are typically less likely to be adopted or purchased as a pet.

On Monday 17th August it is Black Cat Appreciation Day. You have two weeks to find (or take) a photo of your black cat that shows off how fabulous we are. https://t.co/5XFmQQFiu1
