A black cat in the camera roll deserves the spotlight, not a spooky-season stereotype. On October 27, National Black Cat Day is your cue to share a favorite photo and help knock down those tired bad-luck myths. You could also make a black-cat drawing or a soft toy, with extra points for capturing that unmistakable look of feline judgment. The day began with a Cats Protection campaign, and its kindest celebration is simple appreciation.

If adoption has been on your mind and you are prepared for the long commitment, contact a local shelter to ask about its black cats. They need a permanent home, not a seasonal cameo. Otherwise, let your artwork or shared photo do the talking and set up a cozy cat-themed night at home.
