Black power
A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.Did you know that black cats are least likely to be adopted? What is wrong with people? Are Americans still living in the Dark Ages? Don't answer that.
--Groucho Marx
Here are the top ten reasons to Adopt a Black Cat.
I bring this up today in honor of my own black cat, my best friend, my soul sister, who turns 15 years old today. Her name and face shall remain secret to protect her identity (the paparazzi make her cranky).

And immortal. One of my husband's relatives, who had psychic flashes but rarely talked about them because she found them unsettling, remarked that this cat was "ancient." This was back when APS-R was only a year old.
Then when she was 6 she had cancer, nearly died, and said, screw that, I'm living forever.

I get back at her by encouraging the 2-yr-old grandkidlet to play with her.

My greyhound nearly killed our neighbor's cat when it wandered into our yard a couple of weeks ago. Luckily, the cat was saved by our foster collie Brutus, who was trying so hard to herd the thing that Meadow never got a chance to get her teeth on it.

We had an orange cat once ["Tigger," what else?] that killed a raccoon going after his food. Tough cat.

Is your cat Canada named after the country or the goose?

That's so cool. Most Americans have never even heard of Tobermory (just like I'm sure most Canadians have never heard of Rehoboth). And it's a great name for a cat.
Funny animal-related vignette from Tobermory: in a gift shop, they were selling "Husky in a Can," which was a little stuffed dog in a can made to look like food. Some ignorant Yank took one look at it and gasped to her friend, "I can't believe Canadians eat dog!"
