National Black Cat Day PSA

Black cats would like to clear a few things up: they aren't bad luck, and they definitely aren't evil. Well… getting everyone to stick to the same statement might take a little work.

In this Milton the Cat comic, a simple announcement turns into a wonderfully chaotic group effort. One cat confesses, “Uhh…I'm a little bit evil.” Another offers a more specific disclaimer: “I'm bad luck only if you're a mouse…”

So much for staying on message.

A little feline mischief is hardly exclusive to black cats. Whether they're stealing your warm seat or plotting an early dinner, these tiny house panthers deserve affection, not superstition. We think having one cross your path sounds like an excellent excuse to make a new friend.
