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! 

It's Halloween month, and everyone is getting festive. That includes out cats and kittens, of course. And what better way is there for them to get ready for Halloween than to get into that new orange house that you worked so hard making for them? Oh, it's not for them, you say? Pttt. Of course it is. 

Halloween is the time of year when some animals reeeally get to thrive. You got your black cats finally getting the time in the spotlight that they deserve. Suddenly, people are aware of how adorable tiny bats can be. It's a beautiful time, and these are beautiful kittens, and we are so excited for this year's Halloween!

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! 

These are some absolutely gorgeous spooky pies! Some aren't so spooky as they are incredible and we just wanted to share them with you. 

The creator behind these magnificent pies is a pie-oneer herself - Jessica Leigh Clark-Boji. A woman who believes pies are awesome and is on a mission to show the world that "not only can pies go head-to-head against the poshest wedding cakes and fancy-pants desserts on the most discerning buffet tables of the world, but that they can be fun and easy to pull off too!"

@Thepieous is a pie-filled Instagram page that's filled with inspiration and incredible art. If you're feeling just as inspired as we are, you can follow Jessica's tutorials on her site, Pies Are Awesome, or following her YouTube channel! 

Cat snaps! Come get your cat snaps while they're still hot! 

Cat snaps have wiggled it's furry behind into our lives and we're not letting it go anytime soon. It is what the people want and the people will have what they want! Last week's cat snap harvest was a celebration of the beginning of Autumn, and now we're starting to witness some spooky/Halloweenie snaps slipping through... and we could not be more excited! 

The only thing better than cat snaps is a Halloween version of cat snaps! 

Sometimes, we look at a picture of a deer or an elk, and it looks so magical, we're not even sure that it's real. It's their antlers, we know that, their antlers look so enchanting and outlandish. Even the simplest ones have something quite magical to them. These antler-y animals are incredible, beautiful and honorable.

It's October, the month of scares and magic, and what better way is there to bring some magic into your life than these extraordinarily bewitching animals. Take a look at these pictures and let their magic envelop you, allow them to inspire you, and may whatever you do today end up more wonderful than you ever hoped. 

It's the beginning of Spooktober and what's spookier than creatures of the deep sea? So much is unknown and the information we do know can be just as scary as the unknown! 

Sharks. If someone tells you, while in shark-infested waters, that they aren't afraid of sharks... they're definitely lying to you. Sharks are terrifying! Yes, they're also amazing and very important to the balance of the ecosystem but that doesn't change the fact that they are essentially dinosaurs. They've got this haunting movement and look, those black eyes... and all those teeth! 

As part of our Spooktober special, we bring to you 25 shark facts that are pretty unnerving. Enjoy! 

BOO! We're in the early days of Halloween and Spooktober is in full swing! Today we celebrate and honor the spooky month by appreciating adorable bats! Or as the internet likes to call them -- sky puppies! And for those who never understand why they're called sky puppies, after seeing these big-eyed bats, you'll understand everything. Also, bat children just so happened to be called 'pups.'

A majority of the fellowing bats are rescued bats at the Bats Queensland, which is a volunteer organization for flying foxes and microbats in South East QLD Australia. You can follow them on Instagram to see the stories behind each adorable furry face.

Halloween is nearing, and we're all starting to come up with ideas for costumes. It's not easy to come up with something impressive when so many things have already been done before. Well, allow these cats to teach you how its done, since their costumes are almost definitely better than yours. 

An incredible account on tumblr called cat-cosplay showcases these amazing cat models in different, really impressive cosplay costumes. "Our feline companions are assisting us in learning new crafting techniques with new materials on a small scale for everyone to enjoy!" From Bob Ross to Harley Queen, all the costumes are impressive, and all are inspiring us to up our costume game for this year's Halloween.

It's the best time of the year! We are major fans of Halloween and all the Halloweenie things that come with it! And with that being said, we don't really mind coming across anatomically incorrect skeletons but it does seem to bother others. Which just makes it fun for us. 

Let the Spooktober festivities commence! First up, a series of tweets from @timidwerewolf, followed by a series of anatomically incorrect animal skeletons! Let's get 'fake' spooky!

Ladies and gentleman, it's the first of October, and that means that you probably should have started preparing for Halloween a week ago. We're kidding. Obviously, you should have started two weeks ago. 

Halloween, one of the most iconic holidays in the world, so iconic that even some animals are celebrating it. We wanna say that these animals just dressed up for Halloween, but no, these creatures just look like wizards - magical all day every day. To celebrate the beginning of this month and bring some magic into your life, take a look at these widardly-looking animals. May they bewitch you and and bring you the best of luck.

When you need a boost, let the buns loose!

Do you feel that? It's officially September so that means... it's the first day of Halloween! 

Yes, we know Halloween is in October but we are too excited and want to get into the spooky mood early! Is there a better holiday than Halloween? Think about it. First of all, the weather gets all perfect, leaves begin to change, sweater-weather, it all just sets such a pleasant mood. Then, you get to dress up and express your inner kid! Also, there's scary movies involved, pumpkin patches/craving, and all that candy! 

Seriously, Halloween wins every time. We're kicking it off with some of the cutest costumes for all the bun-buns out there! If you have a pet, perhaps it'll provide you with some inspiration this year! 

Introducing The Whitest Pups You Know, which is quite possibly the coolest and cutest Pit Bull page. All three Pit Bulls; Beebs, Stache, and Jax were adopted separately but together complete one another. 

The lucky owner of these three beautiful pups is Kelsey. In a blog, Lovabull, Kelsey tells the entire story of how she came to adopt all three pups. Since adopting the Pit Bulls, Kelsey wanted to spread awareness of how loving and kind this breed truly is, and to stop the Pit Bull hate. 

"I hope through taking silly and derpy photos of my bully breeds, people will see that and want to adopt one of their own.

All dogs need a chance, don't be afraid to adopt just because of their looks or the stereotypes that follow them. My biggest frustration is people automatically assuming they know my dogs because of what their head shape looks like. All dogs are individuals, regardless of their breed.

If I could do anything for these dogs and money wasn't an option…I would get a bigger property to take in fosters and also use it as a sanctuary for the dogs who are having a hard time finding their forever homes."

Amen to that! Check out some of Kelsey's amazing photos of her lovabull's below! A majority of the photoshops are very Halloweenie-inspired which has got us pretty heckin' excited that October is right around the corner! 

Brainless Tales is a quirky comic we totally love! This time, Gato the cat is getting ready to Halloween.
