Black 猫 are often overlooked in favor of 猫 with pretty markings and different colours. The truth is, black 猫 are just as, 或者 even 更多 striking than other cats. Their 毛皮 is sleeker, their eyes stand out more...
But it's not about appearance. It's about the temperament of the cat. And many beautiful 猫 are overlooked every year, in favours in others with markings. Infact, over 70% of black 猫 are the ones to be abandoned each year. Is this really fair? Do 你 judge your best 老友记 由 what they look like?
I remember last year, when I was 12, begging my Mum and Dad for a cat. They gave in, and we visited the 猫 Protection. All the other 小猫 had been snapped up, but left, was one tiny, skinny little black kitten hiding away in the corner, who hissed nervously when anyone came by, but not out of aggression, out of fear. They named him Dragon.
They seemed reluctant to donate him, incase he wasn't very friendly. I remember speaking to him him gently, until he finally came out and looked at me with those big amber-green eyes. He was adorable. It was then I decided to name him Kaspar, after Mikeal Morpurgo's novel about the 泰坦尼克号 and a very special cat.
Kaspar is now nearly two years old, and he's a loving, friendly cat. He loves to lay on my 床, 床上 and purrs when I so much as touch him.
I'm not asking 你 to donate money, nor to hoard loads of black cats, (!) I'm just asking 你 to give these furry 老友记 a 秒 chance.
Thanks for reading.
