Living With a Tiny Shadow: My Black Cat Saga

Ever tried to spot a black cat in a dark room? That’s my daily challenge. My so-called pet (read: overlord) is a sleek, charcoal-colored ninja who materializes out of nowhere—usually when I’m carrying something breakable. She’s convinced she owns the apartment and I’m just the human staff. Her hobbies include: staring into the void at 3 a.m., making biscuits on my laptop during Zoom calls, and practicing parkour off my unsuspecting back. Strangers think black cats are unlucky, but honestly, she’s the best chaos I’ve ever adopted. She’s also a pro at emotional support—by which I mean she’ll nap on my chest until I forget what anxiety is. If you’ve ever loved a pet who’s both a menace and a therapist, you get it. Here’s to all the mysterious, midnight-furred companions out there, making our lives weirder and better. #Pets #Cats #BlackCatMagic
