Welcome to Thursday Coffee Hour. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. As Halloween approaches so do the warnings to keep your cats inside especially if they are black. Black cats have always gotten a bad reputation. Too many people think that they are evil. Some people remain in the Middle Ages mentality of thinking black cats are the consorts of witches and warlocks and practitioners of black magic.
We got our first black cat when Pixie suckered my Mom into letting her stay in the house. Technically I think Pixie is a tuxedo because she has a beautiful white bib on her throat, a white spot on her chest, and a white heart on her tummy. I still refer to her as a black cat however.
Pixie is my little Princess a title Mom bestowed on her and that fits her well. She is a demanding little thing. She was very close to Mom and when she passed away she transferred her affections to me. She is such a little Mama's girl. If I go out to take the garbage to the dumpster or get the mail she runs to the door and stands up to look out to make sure no one kidnaps me or I run away. The looks I get when I go to the store or take Reid to the Doctor is so funny. She pouts like I'd been away forever.
I finally found the perfect collar for my little Princess of Bling. She loves shiny things and especially shiny collars. She knew the minute I pulled it out of the bag that it was hers and rubbed all over it until I got the groceries and things put away before I put it on her. She prances around showing off her collar.
For people who think black cats are bad luck they need to meet my girl. Her presence added almost five years to my Mom's life. The Doctor could not believe Mom lasted as long as she did with her bad heart but I knew Pixie was giving her the will to live. She has since become my caregiver and will insist I go lie down when my asthma starts acting up. She also helps me keep an eye on Reid.
Black cats are like cats everywhere. Pixie is sweet, sassy, silly, into everything, demanding, and loving. My little Princess lights up my life. I am very careful not to let her out but especially at this time of year. It would break my heart if anything happened to her.
