Black Cat Breeds You’ll Love

Appearances and Personalities

When someone mentions black cats, what are the first things you think of? You wouldn’t be alone if your mind immediately jumped to something negative.

Western culture has traditionally associated black felines with witchcraft or seen them as bad luck symbols (the opposite of white cat breeds or quite different from orange cat breeds).

Besides being some of the most beautiful kitties out there, black cats’ intelligence and friendliness mean they make wonderful companions. 

These puffballs are one of the top kitties to own because of their intensely loving and gentle nature. This warmth reflects in the big amber eyes typical of black Persian cats.
