When people want the best - in cars, clothes, electronics - they choose them in the color black. Isn't it time that black cats, dogs and other pets were chosen too? Superstition and old wives tales make black cats and dogs the hardest to find good homes for, and more of them die each year in shelters than any other color of pet. This video points out just a few of the things that make a black cat the perfect choice was a pet!
We took in a black stray kitten that was starving to death. He is the most affectionate cat. He also has dog qualities - he follows you everywhere. He's 6 now. He's a real ham.

We just adopted a completely black cat and named her Sundown. She is the most affectionate and easy going cat we ever had. I love her and sometimes call her Black Beauty.

Terrific video, more people should adop black kitties and dogs. I have a beautiful black female cat myself, that I have gotten from a rescue organization. I have owned a black dog when I was growing up (black shephard mix/husky?). I think black cats are some of the most loving cats around, they make great lapcats and are very smart and affectionate. Thanks for making the video and posting :)

So, black cats tend to be resistant to HIV viruses, are known for their calm natures, and are patient. in addition to being just plain CUTE!, Even more reason to adopt a black cat (or two, or three)! Thanks cat ladies for this great video illustrating the many reasons why black is beautiful! !

"Black fur on cats has an interesting history. Black fur coloring is caused by recessive genes...Stephen J. O'Brien with the feline genome project thinks the mutation that causes black fur might make cats resistant to viruses in the HIV family. ..The black cat's calmer nature might explain why there are so many black cats around...the black cat patiently waits for it's turn to mate." From the book "Animals Make Us Human" by Temple Grandin.
