Humans have had an infatuation with cats from the beginning of time. The ancient Egyptians worshiped their Siamese cats. They mummified their cats and had them buried with them. Cats’ heads have the exact eye placement of human babies. Our cats weigh about what a young baby would consider.
Cats are beneficial for removing rodents from our buildings and grain. They helped control the plague by eating and killing rodents. Cats have saved farmers a lot of money by killing the rats and mice that eat the grain on their farms. Before we had cats on our farm, rats ate the corn out of the old corn crib. Once we had cats on our farm, the rat population disappeared utterly.
Our black cats have not always had a fair rap. They were associated with witchcraft years ago and bad luck. My black cats have always given me joy and happiness.
I find black cats no different than any other cat color in the feline world.
We love watching our feline friends play. Having a cat can lower our blood pressure and help us be more relaxed. Holding our cats and having them purr away is very comforting. It is nice to cuddle up next to your cat at night and hear them purr until you fall asleep.
Cats have alerted their owners of a fire in the night or a gas leak that has saved their owners’ lives. My black cat Sebastian told me a man was walking down my road at 9 PM. He looked out of the window and made a horrible growling sound. I pulled down my window shade for the rest of the evening.
Our cats are wonderful companions in our lives. Our cats do so very much for us every day. I truly appreciate all of the fine and loving felines I have and have had.
