Celebrating black cats all month long...
About a year afterI moved
To my current abode,
Kate met Hoochie and
Was immediately captivated
By these eyes!!!
She snapped a pic
To show us all.
I used to look after Hoochie
When her mommies,
Nancy and Katherine, travelled.
Hoochie has since moved on
To another plane and we all smile
As we remember
Her incredible softness...
And those eyes.
Of course,
Kate still has Batman…
Here showing how
To get ready for
The end of the month…
If not for
The end of times.
Marje still has Toffle.
Of course
Kelley’s Domino and Moneypenny and Oliver
Dot my black-cat memories
And
Many years ago
Our own family had Cocoa…
Except for the occasional fleeting
Deep chocolate Siamese highlights,
She looked black.
And that counts.
All black cats count...
Especially this month.

If this isn't nice, what is?
