Did you know there's a holiday for black cats? We were reminded of this just recently when #NationalBlackCatDay started trending on socials. The result? Our feeds were filled with all manner of black (and black and white) kitties and just in time for Halloween too. Funny, adorable, and occasionally spooky? WE STAN. Here are 17 of our favorite #NationalBlackCatDay posts!
1. "🐈⬛ It's #NationalBlackCatCay! 🐈⬛ Please show off your black/black and white cats in the comments below! Let's show them all lots of love today. 🖤"
