Wishing all cats and their servants a happy National Cat Day.

Here's a link to a picture of DeeJay, my black cat.

What a handsome boy he is! He's going to be a big fella.

Is/was that a leather couch?

Little claws versus furniture😂

I'm resigning to the furniture eventually being clawed to shreds.

Buy them scratching posts.  Mine have got a couple and when they use them (regularly) I say what a good girl they are.  If they scratch the furniture, I gently remove their claws, say "No" and then employ distraction.  To be fair, mine now only go for the furniture out of pure devilment (and they jolly well know what they are doing) but if they really want a good scratch they go for their posts.

Just seen the pic of your cat Sandy - Deejay is the absolute double of my cat Molly! Will have to find a pic!

Black cats are not re-homed as much as others. Very sad. But at least 3 of us on here are flying the flag for these black beauties.

When I heard about the two babies who were abandoned on the roadside I cared not about their colour, they needed a slave and I had a cat shaped hole to fill (it was only a couple of weeks after my darling ASBO died). I really only wanted one cat but there was no way I was going to separate them. The Cat Distribution System at its finest.

My two girls are sisters. Daisy is a Talico, and Molly is a very petite pure jet black little girl, smaller than her sister. Obsessed with water and will insist on getting in the shower every single time it's been used so that she can roll around in the wet bath lol!
