Happy #blackcatday; a day to awareness of black cats in need of homes and support. Superstition still makes these adorable furry friends more likely to be homeless and or abused. Which makes me so sad, especially as a cat mum to 2 adopted beautiful black cats of my own. #blackcat #blackcats #kidlit
