Sabbath, black cats have always been my favorites, but of course I love all cats, dogs, and other animals. Our two babies are brothers, both neutered. Meeko is solid black and so shiny. Milo is black but has gray coming in and the vet said he is going to be a beautiful cat. He called it a black/slate or Black/smoke. He is also cross-eyed and such a momma's baby and my lap cat. I've never tried to post pictures here and not sure I know how. I can try.

One day, I opened the front door because I was going to town and there was a tiny fawn sleeping next to the front step. Not wanting to disturb it, I ended up not going to town that day.
