October is underway, and that means Halloween is just around the corner. Halloween brings with it images of dark, shadowy things that go bump in the night.
Among those is the black cat. The creatures have been unfairly associated with Halloween and all things spooky, ominous and unlucky for far too long. Despite concerted efforts made by cat lovers (especially black cat lovers) to dispel the myths, superstitions, and misconceptions around black cats, the negative attitudes around them still persist.

So in the lead-up to this Halloween, we thought we'd do our part in showing just how harmless and outright adorable these kitties truly are. We've compiled an irresistible lineup of black cats that we are positive no one could look through and think there's even an ounce of evil in these ebony felines.
I ask you, does this look like the face of a deviant creature bent on evil aspirations?
Does this snuggle bunny look like it wishes humans harm?
Even dressed as a little bat, does this kitten scare you even one bit? Really? He just wants you to have a Happy Halloween.
This guy surely can't seem dangerous. He's eating lettuce!
Just look into those eyes.
Business cat has only ever been focused on business. He certainly has never had time for evil.
How could any of these delightfully cute cats be up to anything malevolent? They're just your average goofball cats who love getting pets, eating yummy chicken and fish, and napping in the sun. Just because the season might spook you, don't let old wives' tales or silly superstitions make you think black cats are any more capable of sinister acts than any other critter.
