October has almost always been known as Black Cat Month, and our photo calendar would not be complete without photos of sleek black cats. Here are photos of October cats submitted by About Cats readers for your pleasure.

	Furry Face "FurryFace, an angel adopted from the North Shore Animal League. 17 years old and going strong."   -- Betty Kranzdorff
	Blue "We got Blue at 6 weeks and he had the bluest eyes at the time! He's a Bombay, weighs 15 lbs. He's fairly quiet, but when he's frisky you know it! He loves my husband to death and goes to him when he snaps his fingers! We share feeding chores." "   -- Melody Cabrera
	Pinhead Michael may have seemed disrespectful in naming his cat, but he doesn't appear to stint in the culinary area: "This is a picture of Pinhead a very nice male domestic shorthair. His favorite food is starkist tuna and freshly baked turkey breast. He's seven years old and is about 22 pounds." "   -- Michael Alexander
	Taytie "Taytie is our new adopted cat and has been with us since February 2001. She's two years old and has a very lively personality and loves to play hide and seek with her favorite toy. She also fetches and returns her toy to me when I throw it. Such a good doggie! But seriously, she also has a very sweet side and tends to show the little pink tip of her tongue when she is relaxed and being caressed." "   -- Yvonne
	Vlad "This is Vlad, a black male. A friend found him in the streets when he was still a small defenseless kitten in quite a bad shape. But he grew up to be a normal, just excellent companion."   -- Maria Questa
	Cricket Cricket apparently had a venturesome life before she was luckily adopted. "Cricket is almost 2 years old. I adopted her a year ago from the humane society. She's extremely intelligent and only 5 lbs. When I adopted her, she had already been in 2 shelters, been a foster mother, and had a litter of her own, all before 10 months old!"   -- Cami
