Black cats, more than any other colored animals, are usually found at shelters and they wait longer to be adopted. This could be because their appearance instills fear or because superstitious people think that kittens in this color bring bad luck. Whatever the reason, we believe that all animals are valuable.
Bright Side wants to pay tribute to black cats with this photographic exhibition that shows them in their daily life.
1. “I’m waiting to bloom.”
2. “He has extreme concerns when I shower.”
3. “This hardware store has a black cat that apparently just waltzed in and never left. They call him ’Blacky’.”
