Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day and I'd like to share a few things about black cats in their honor. Black cats are still suffering discrimination since from the 1200s when Pope Gregory IX believed them satanic and ordered them killed,oddly enough the Catholic church is still holding on to the thought that they are associated with evil/witchcraft. I ask you,"What century are we living in?" then again why should it be surprising when black people are also still suffering from discrimination? Black cats are half as likely to be adopted from a shelter as any other color. I don't know if this will help their cause or not but I couldn't let the day pass without making an effort on their behalf.
