October: Black Cat Month

While October may be the favorite month of thousands of humans, who excitedly plan their costumes of spooks, vampires and monsters, in anticipation of Halloween, cats, particularly black cats, have little cause for celebration this month. Learn how to keep your cats safe during this month.

On the lighter side, October is also the month we glorify black cats with our Cats Calendar.

I'll also be featuring a few black cats in my Photo of the Week section on Sundays, as well as scattered here and there during the week. If you haven't already done so, send me a photo of your own black cat. I'll add as many as I can to the October calendar, and who knows? Your kitty could wind up here on my home page.This little beauty is "Misery," and her human companion, Tara Gordon, says, "She's my sweet little Halloween Kitty."
