It’s funny, but the cats that wondered into my life were never black. Maybe there are fewer of them? Penelope is a great spokesperson for all black kitties and next time I’m replenishing my inventory I’ll be on the lookout for a P-kitty clone.
we’re all over. just check the shelters. thank u.

Awww…I’d love to have a Penelope! 🙂 Oh gosh, you are going to make me start crying.
Where did you get that cool picture from?
The first one I found on Pinterest. And, as usual I cannot for the life of me find the source. The second one I found on the Black Cat Appreciation Facebook page.

Yes, I wondered for a minute if the pic was Penelope…and thought, my my the diet you put her on has really paid off? Black cats are beauteous, esp Penelope.
I wish Penelope’s diet worked that well. She has hit a plateau I’m afraid.

Meaning the pic at the top of the post. I am pretty sure I recognize her fersure, in the one at the bottom, looking all soulful.
not me tho. it’s my doppelganger.

I find it so strange that black cats and dogs have such lower adoption rates that those with lighter coats. I love that there’s a Black Cat Appreciation Day to celebrate black cats and encourage people to look beyond superstition. Who wouldn’t love Penelope? Even grumpy Marcy kind of sort of loves her.
