A new excuse for giving up a black cat

[Catherine]

Maybe animal shelters need to give pet photography classes. Black cats can look very dramatic on any colour. They look good on a patterned background. They always look so graceful and sophisticated. 
I am with you Catslave, it doesn't matter what colour a cat is, but I have seen some beautiful black cats. Certainly the cat would look good no matter how you redecorated. That shouldn't matter, but people can be very shallow about their pets.
