Re: Less fortunate black/black & white cats and kittens


Being the very proud owner of two black/white cats and two new black kittens (which i was desperate for) who i got from Celia hammond Trust and who are totally gorgeous i cannot understand why people DO NOT LIKE BLACK CATS
I LOVE THEM I would like a whole herd of black pussies BLISS

Re: Less fortunate black/black & white cats and kittens


I adore jet black cats and always have done! When my husband walked out unexpectedly several years ago, I went to the Colchester Cat Sanctuary and took home two beautiful black cats who were brother and sister and had been together for 7 years previously. I re-named them Rupert and Sophi. Rupert was like a mini black panther and very in your face and quite vocal, whereas Sophi was literally half his size, quiet but oh so sweet. They helped me through a very emotional and hard time and became very very special to me. Very sadly, Rupert was killed two years after I got him ~ I found his body not far from home ~ I was distraught and cried for days. Sophi and I clung to each other and became each other's rock, and as time went on we became even closer and she became my shadow for the next seven years. She was a very special little cat. She became ill quite suddenly in early July at the age of approx 16/17yrs old (although she still looked and acted like a kitten), and I had to make the uterly heart-breaking decision to have her put to sleep, and I held her until the very end. She is buried in the garden with her brother Rupert, and I console myself with the thought that are now re-united and happy again to be together once again. I was so distraught that I wasn't even able to go into work for 2 days and still cry if I think about it too much. They are safely tucked away in my heart and nothing can ever change that. I had to get another cat quite soon afterwards as I was getting very depressed and my home seemed to have lost it's soul. I have YumYum now ~ who has totally captivated me, and being a totally different type of cat, I don't compare ~ if you understand what I mean. Sorry to have rambled on, but sometimes I just have to let that out of my system. Here are some pics of my beloved Rupert and Sophi:-











I'm sure that one day I'll have another black cat as I think they're beautiful!

Re: Less fortunate black/black & white cats and kittens


Both beauties - I can totally understand how they captivated you and helped you get through a difficult time. Cats do that, don't they? Thanks for sharing their stories and pictures. After my Merlin was pts in March this year - he'd been with me for over 23 years - I could only manage three weeks without a cat.

So glad you have YumYum now.
