Yes, Nira, I find most all cats very loving regardless of color. And yes, each black cat has his/her own personality and each is different. Black cat, Charlie, outside, and black cat, Smoky, inside are equally wonderfully loving and both female. Charlie is, however, an alpha cat and the boss, and Smoky is a quiet little thing and totally Not the boss. Both want to be on your lap and grew up outside. My 6 other inside cats grew up inside and are very loving yes, and Chester (Gray with white), especially loving like Smoky. Charlie & Smoky, both black, are the most loving outside cats I have Ever met. And want to be with you allll the time and even inside. Only Smoky can be inside and accepted by the other cats. My 6 do not want a boss. hahahahha XOXOXO Sharon

Artist Reply: oh, Sharon.. YOU KNOW, What cats mean... I know. Thanks for sharing... XOXOX Nira.

Vegetarian cats??? I like that! Nice photos Nira.

Artist Reply: No, Jorge, they aren't particularly vegetarians.. these cats eat wet and dry food. Thanks for visiting.

I totally agree with you on color and character, Nira. Seems ridiculous to think that. But I have notice that black kitties on the whole seem to be extra loving. I haven't a clue why. Because it's not rational to think that color has anything at all to do with it. Perhaps because they are black, they are overlooked; not seen. They do disappear in many settings. Sooooo they seek out love, because noone is stopping to pick them up simply because their color makes them not as noticed. Things like this are true for humans. I became blond for 8 years one time and my thinking immediately changed. I wore brighter colors and sexier clothes; I felt different and thought differently about myself. Again I thought how can this be. Ridiculous. I noticed in photos, I paled; I was not as photogenic, but I stayed blond. Then one day I decided to just go my color of hair again. I, of course, did not wear the colors I had with blond. Now, I thought I was unique in this phenomena, but I read an article in a magazine about other women who went blond, and they had the very same feelings as I did & wore different clothes. Everything for them changed also. Soooooo I am willling to bet that it is the same for cats of black. :) XOX

Artist Reply: OK,Sharon.. there's something in what your saying of course. First I believe there can be that one race of cats, may have a difference character then the other, in general. To be correct, my brother used to think that the Black ones are the best ( not sure how he think today)... But then... we had wonderful loving cats from all kinds of colours, actually...Then, I'll ask a rhetorical question, are all Black kitties the same ?... perhaps similar, not totally the same.My kitty Silk, is MOST LOVING, by the way... :-) and he's not Black... :-) Indeed, outside change can influence the inside, I also agree on this... And, I think indeed.. Sometimes character of a person, or a pet, can COVER for "unattractive" look or colour... But then of course unattractive to one can be attractive to another. Thanks again.. You are beautiful Sharon... :-) XOX

Nice shots Nira. My children used to bring home every stray kitten they could find and then take them from door to door to find homes for them.

Artist Reply: Reba'le.. Not only your kids are wonderful. You educated then wonderfully, by finding homes for the kitties. Oh, yes.. I remember those days, that I used to put advertisement in "Ha'eir" newspaper, "KACHTEN".. (It was free :-) for those stray cats that were born at my parents.. and actually people used to come and take, especially when they saw the mother was Siamese and the father supposed to be Black one... And our black ones were so beautiful :-).. with shiny fur. Thanks a lot.

Sharon Gonzalez 05 May 2009

OH I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE PHOTOS, DEAR NIRA. THE BLACK ONES LOOK JUST LIKE MY SMOKY. DARLING..... AND YOUR PARENTS........ BRAVO TO THEM. ALSO BLACK CATS SEEM TO BE EXTRA LOVING. XOXOXOX

Artist Reply: Well.. some black kitties, i used to have were truly magnificent & loving. I think colour, has no meaning in character usually, Sharon. XOXOX Nira.

lillianhibiscus 05 May 2009

Oh what a fabulous capture Nira! Such beautiful cats; you would never know that they are strays!

Artist Reply: Thanks so much dear, Lillian... I think their attribution is not really important. Strays a lot of times raised in home, and are so WONDERFUL... The Black ones, if you have them at home, they get such shiny velvet fur.. quite amazing actually. Kind regards.. Nira.

Thom Roslan 05 May 2009

Great capture Nira.....We "feed" 2 other cats from around the neighborhood.....One we call Charlie (an Orange long-haired Calico) and Blackie (a pure Black one with "cropped" ears....Don't know how that came about !) Plus of course my cat Paco Rabonne.

Artist Reply: Hello again :-)... Thanks for sharing your cats stories, my friend Thom. To tell you something, we used to have a dog during the 70's, called Blackie.. just by the way... I came in for just few minutes, the same time you were visiting...

Stefani Wehner 05 May 2009
