Every day is National Balck Cat Day with the Dude. But today is an official celebration day for him.
From what I read about today, it is sort of to make up for giving them a bad reputation on Halloween, October 31st.
This time of year, many black cats may decorate many thresholds for Halloween and windows for spooky decor. However, these felines deserve the love and attention just as much as their tabby equivalents. Old notions have given these furry critters a bad reputation.
The day is about turning that reputation around. Cheers to the Dude and all the other black cats!

No

I don’t think that the superstitions about black cats are that strong in my country, or at least the people around me. I personally love black cats.
Chinese have superstitions about black cats too …
and many prefers non-black cats as pets…
but well, black stray cats get fed too 🙂
Happy Dude day! LOL
I think it is just silly. Thanks!
I have 10 cats and 1 is black but he’s such a fun-loving cat, much like the Dude. I love black cats and don’t really get the whole superstition thing.
Wow I cannot imagine having 10 cats. Glad you have a black one!
We will not adopt a black one out in October in our shelters. They are the least adoptable here and in England. In China they are considered lucky and other parts of the world. I think they are the prettiest. Those mini black panthers! I am glad you have your own day DUDE!! Did she give you caviar?
Thanks, he is like a panther. My first black one.
There are so many animals that are not adopted, dogs, cats that sit too long away from humans.
I didn’t know about black cats, that makes me really sad.
Yes it has always been this way for black cats, very sad.
Pit Bulls have gotten a horrible reputation in the US. They often end up in shelters and not adopted.
My son-in-law has one. She is the sweetest granddog on earth!
The problem with pits and remember I love all animals, is that they have a natural dog aggression you have to train out of them with proper socialization and training. The owners that do not do this..these are the shelter ones, and they usually do not pass the test to be adopted. The ones that do pass make great dogs. Although my sons dog did turn on them, and me. No reason other than he had lost his dog partner the week before.
I think losing a dog partner is a pretty solid reason…
That is the conclusion we have come to. Poor boy just lost it. That can happen just like it does in humans. There is so much we still don’t know about “man’s best friend”.
In Virginia, as you probably remember from your East Coast days, there remains a huge dogfighting problem.
There are many dogs, that are treated so badly, but they make the news when they attack a human.
In some cases, it is the dog’s fault. In some cases ,it is the human’s fault
It looks like The Dude enjoys having his photograph taken. He is such a poser! He’s very cute!
I like your cat. Nice post.
Don’t want to sound like a broken record of sort, but I ain’t in league with cats for any reason
I cannot say I have ever heard of the black cat day. But, what difference does the color of the cat’s fur make? As long as the cat has a personality that fits the human that is adopting it. You have to forgive me. I have a very soft spot in my heart for all animals, but especially those that no one else seems to want. I love black cats. I have had three in my lifetime and they were all sweet.
I first hear about Black Cat Day. I like black cats very much.
I think there is a day for anything you can think of, kind of silly!
When I was in London there was a big black cat that always stays in the front door as if waiting for food.
I love this cat no matter his color. A sweetheart.
I somehow mostly love exactly black cats.
I like most oof them, this was my first black one to have.
Happy National Black Cat Day. Dude is adorable I think that his birthday when it comes should be officially known as National Dude Day.
Thanks, he said! As he continues to nap most of this day, as usual. I think you are right! 🙂
I personally adore black cats, they are very beautiful creatures.
Same here, he is like a teddy bear.
Brendel is a beauty as well.
I used to have a black cat with just his paws white and a speck on his chin and chest. His name was Putting on the Ritz after Midnight. Midnight for short. I loved him so much!
How cute. And that is a cute name as well. I have lost pets as well.
That name is one of the cutest I have heard.
Well hello Mr The Dude. I certainly do not mind if you are black… you are such a pretty sight for sore eyes despite your blackness… Bring on along Brendel…
He says hello nice lady. 🙂 He loves the camera. Brendel not so much.
Well, I get on with most cats and they make it their business to come to me, black or other colour… However if I see them stalking birds, they get water poured over them….
Lovely photo of Dude
I keep mine indoors, the birds are safe here. Thanks!
Cats are the biggest predator the birds have.
