I had one black cat given to me at Halloween.
Do Not, repeat, Do Not accept a black cat at Halloween. Her name was DC, and I bet I don't even need to tell you what that stood for. Oh, the things that furbaby got into. Unfortunately allergies got worse and worse until DC had to go to a new home. Kids are grown, cat allergies not a problem, but we got a dog, which I am allergic to!!! Which means that my husband has to clean up after her. Isn't that a shame !!!!
(DC = D**n Cat, and it wasn't always darn. )
