One of my three cats is black (with a small white 'bib').
His name is Simon, and he is about 12 years old.
I found him on the town square on graduation day for our local university when he was a few months old.

He was already hanging around an older couple who had stopped for a spell on a bench in front of a store. They said he'd been there for an hour or so, and encouraged me to take him home! When he crossed the street to follow me to the electric company to pay my bill, heedless of any traffic, I worried about him. There wasn't any traffic at that time, because most people were at graduation, but I worried what would happen later.

I tried to find someone who recognized him (he had a blue flea collar on, so I knew he'd had some human contact). I finally found someone who was renovating one of the buildings on the square, and he said the cat had been there the day before, meowing to get in. After talking to another guy who had never seen him before, I decided to take the kitty home and put a 'found animal' ad in the paper.

When I got him home, he went right to a pile of laundry to take a nap. And he showed absolutely no agression to my other 2 cats. He didn't even act bothered at all when I trimmed his claws.

I did put an ad in the paper, but was hoping no one would answer it. I decided to be rather vague, so that if I didn't like the sound of the person who called, I could say it wasn't the same cat. I just put "found on square: black cat with collar"(no mention of gender or color of collar).

As I suspected, no one called (I suspected that the collar came from some students who 'adopted' him only as long as they were around, or who just put the collar on him to keep him from bringing in fleas when he visited.

Simon loves the food! And if I don't watch him, he can end up looking like a bowling ball with legs!

He's my oldest, and a big cat, but he still acts like a kitten: playing (though he hasn't done any of his signature own-tail-chasing for a while) and going up to Bobsie (who is 1/2 his size) and bowing his head in front of her so she'll play 'mommie' and wash his head!
 
We have 3 black cats! Rocky ans Apollo are 3 years old. We got them form their mother, and they were inseparable in the litter.

Rocky is about 10 pounds and avid hunter hwo eats his kill. Apollo has been called a linebacker by our vet. He is almost 14 pounds of muscle, and also a good hunter. They are both very affectionate.

Our newest kitty is Sidney Crosby, named after the Pittsburgh Penguins youngest hockey player. Crosby is also really affectionate and an avid hunter. He was adopted from our humane society. We went there specifically to rescue a black kitty. Crosby is around 11 pounds. I can tell them apart by the shape of their faces and the sound of their meows. And Apollo is bigger.

They are a joy to us. We resisted having cats for years, because I am allergic to cats. But leather furniture and wood floors help the dander not to settle in. We try not to let them sleep in our bedroom, but I will if DH is away. However it can backfire as it did last night. Crosby was so happy to see the door open that he brought me a dead mouse and placed it under my bed. ( We use a kitty door for them to get in and out of our home. The down side to this is that they bring their kill right inside to show us!

***I am not skilled on posting a picture, but I have a few that would be nice to share.

Better under your bed than IN your bed! I've had cats put crickets on my pillow (the crickets get in my basement somehow).
 
My black kitty's name is Merlin. He's about 8 yrs old or so. he likes me because I give him catnip on Sunday mornings. Other than that,he's my hubby's cat.

I'm squealing with delight over this post! I love love love cats...I can't include pictures because hubby has camera at work, but I have a total of about 30 cats (NO, they aren't all inside!!!LOL). I've rescued over 50 since I moved to my house in 1997. There's only 4 that aren't fixed right now and that's because they're babes.

Now, only ONE of my lot is black - and she's not actually solid black...there's whisper of white - barely visible on her little chest. She's long haired and very regal - prissy almost. Her name is Lady Grace a.k.a. Gracie girl - and she's the oldest female we have.

She keeps the rest in line! :)
 
I've got two cats, but just one of them is black. His name is Sidney and he turns 15 this month. His estimated birthday is right around Halloween, actually. I read somewhere that shelters tend to always have a supply of black cats because many people are superstitious and won't adopt them. How crazy is that? I think black cats are so cool. I can't imagine NOT having one.

My daughter (13) brought home a pure black kitten with big yellow eyes about 4 years ago. My husband does not like cats and it caused a huge fight. We started calling her Lucifer cause she was black and caused a fight, just as a joke of course. We ended up keeping her and now she is Lucy, and she is the absolute sweetest cat we have ever had! My husband even likes her! We will be keeping her inside during the Halloween season for sure.
 
I do. Her name is Pixie and I believe I have a picture of her in one of the links in my sig. She is all black with long hair and a white spot under her chin. I adopted her from our local shelter. I went into the shelter a few weeks before I was moving because I was going to get a cat after I moved into my new place. I really liked her but it was a mistake to go into the shelter BEFORE I was ready to adopt because all I did was worry that someone would adopt her before I could but no one did. She is about 6 years old and I have had her for about 5 years. :)

I've heard that as well, and I think it's nuts. I love black cats!

A good reminder.
There are mean people out there who think that abusing/torturing cats is fun, especially black cats around Halloween.

Keep your kitties safe!
 
Hello Friends.

I have two black cats, one looks like Zeus from a previous post. They are both two and males and had great vet checkups.
Seville looks alot like Zeus. Madrid is a long haired Persion, greyish black. They are brothers.
My adoption saved them from the E-List.
 
We have 3 cats and one is black. His name is Squirt and he's 6 years old. He is our baby! He follows us everywhere and always wants attention. I can't imagine life without him. He was a rescue from a previous neighbor who has mental problems. We offered to spay her cats(it was always one batch of kittens after another) and she told us no because it was a big conspiracy and pretty soon you won't even be able to find kittens. This is right after she asked us to take her 4 kittens because she couldn't find homes for them. We took the kittens planning on finding homes for all of them, but there was no way I could part with the little black one he was so adorable, so we kept him. He is one of a kind!

We have Frank, who is almost black, but not quite. He is totally gray, except for a spot of about 4 white hairs on his chest. He doesn't like you to notice or mention it. Then we have Paddy, who thinks he is pure white. Don't tell him, but he is brownish around his ears and tail. Our long haired black cat, Elmo, went to kitty heaven 3 years ago and we still miss him.
 
We have a black cat named Chance. He was an adult when we adopted him, but we think he's 12 or 13 years old. He's very dog savvy (he's lived with three) and very people centric.

A few years ago he got a little pudgy and weighed in at more than 17 lbs but has since slimmed down to a lean mean 14.5 lbs.

He used to be our Fat Chance, but we now refer to him as Phat Chance.
