Keep Black Cats Safe
While Halloween stands for a time of celebration, frivolity and even reverence to some people, to others it unfortunately means cruelty. The long-held superstitious beliefs surrounding black cats has resulted in a gruesome custom of torturing and killing black cats for some cruel people. Some say it's an urban legend and some vets confirm it's true, but there are a couple of things you can do to help black cats whether it's true or not:
1. Adopt a black cat!
2. Keep your black cat indoors. Keep all cats indoors if you can, especially during holidays that might stress them out.
3. Educate about cats to all who will listen.
Personally I know that the "urban legend" can be true, since I know some teen boys who bragged about killing our black cat when I was in college. We couldn't prove anything but they thought it was hilarious. They say it was because she was a black cat but the cruelty in their hearts could apply to anyone.
