Cathlete
The two most loyal males in my life but with minds of their own.
Sevile is on the computer desk.
Madrid is on the comforter.

Beautiful guys and I love their names. Thank you for posting the pictures. I live with 3 guys cats that is--Tazi, Tufi and Telo. Then there is my DH and 2 sons.
 
How adorable! I've seen more black cats owned by (or vice versa!) people on this forum than I've ever seen owned by anyone else who has cats! Does that sentence make any sense? I guess my point is that the shelters are always filled with black cats. People don't tend to adopt them as often as other cats. Kind of makes me sad.

Didn't mean to digress, but it just made me think about that seeing your two beautiful cats! Or should I say, handsome?
 
They're so cute. I love black cats. And it's true what Tricia said, shelters are full of unwanted black kitties. Just one more bit of evidence that Cathletes are special people, so many of us have black cats!

My Merlin kitty is black, too. When we got him (from a shelter) they said most people don't want the black ones, except around Halloween when people do weird, mean, nasty things to them. Poor kitties!

Seville and Madrid were both adopted from the Humane Society just over 4 years ago. They are brothers. Yes, they are handsome. They understand the word, "prince."
 
JT, thanks for sharing! (Why not put these photos in your album on your user page as well?)

Black cats are some of my favorites (and I don't understand the weird superstition that keeps people from adopting them. Once when I was visiting the shelter where I volunteer, I realised that out of 12 cats in the adult room 9 were black! I would have adopted them all if I had the room!). Supposedly, they have softer fur than other cats (I haven't decided whether that is true or not: I still have a lot of 'test petting' to do!).

I never heard that about the fur but my black cat, Slinky, had the softest fur ever. When Squirt came to us, she was neglected by her previous owners, her fur was almost wirey feeling. It got much softer with time but never as much as Slinky's.
 
Thanks for sharing! When I was young we had numerous "barn" cats - it wasn't really a barn, but there was straw in the corner for the dog. Our favorite cat was all black and named Midnight. She stayed with us for years and was a great mouser and very good mother. Your Sevile looks very much like her.

Now my two kitties are indoor cats and I often wish they were black because I wear mostly dark clothing and I don't think the fur would show as much as the white and orange fur my cats leave on me every time they come near.

We don't want to run the risk of our kitty being a vic so we keep her inside during Halloween, she is a dark maine coon type kitty and not black but we would be heart broken if something less than good happened. I had no idea it was hard for the black cats to be adopted.
 
Oh so adorable! My black cat Jinx is the most loving kitty ever.. he's a rescue to, so maybe he knows how lucky he is :)
 
We heard the same thing about black cats when we adopted our black Lucky. He has white toes on his back feet and is the sweetest cat I've ever had or known. A total plush toy - he's happy to sit on your lap and purr all day.
 
Thanks, everyone. They are with me now both laying on my computer desk, Seville on my printer and Madrid right next to me. They love Cathe's voice from the workouts.
