Welcome back to another installment of Black Cat Magic! Once a week, throughout the month of October, we will dedicate a list to the magic that is black cats. 

There is so much negative stigma towards these house panthers. People still believe that if a black cat crosses your path, it symbolizes bad luck. Black cats are known to not be adopted as often as other cats. And worse of all, there is a belief that black cats are in danger around Halloween time. Due to these superstitious, it may be wise to make sure your house panther(s) are kept indoors. Animal shelters also tend to hold the adoption of black cats until after Halloween. 

Now, back to admiring and celebrating these beautiful creatures! Not only are black cats gorgeous, they are also one of the goofiest cats around! If you have a black cat, you already know. If you don't own a house panther and need some proof, just check out some of the silly videos below! Oh, and, you'll definitely want to have the sound on for the following videos! 

When it comes to Halloween, we absolutely love to feature the Halloweeniest cat there is - the black cat! And to break the superstition that black cats are unlucky. Because, frankly, how can something so sweet and adorable be unlucky? Statistically, black cats are the least likely to be adopted and we need to fix that. 

Black cats are magic. For those of you who own a mini-house panther, you already know. We're here to spread that magic! Each week, during October, we will be featuring a segment solely on black cats! Be sure not to blink, or you might miss it!

We're back with more work from the talented Luis Coelho! We shared his beautiful and unique pen drawings of black cats in the past, but his new work has since developed into an ethereal insight into cat's minds, as well as, our own. 

There's something oddly calming this new style and way of telling a story. Written in Coelho's about me, he explains his drawing technique, "While my drawing technique is generally composed of a slow meditative craft in which hatching plays a major role, my imaginary is composed of adorable, but somewhat obscure creatures that seem to have come from a dream world. "
