Cat-O-Lantern
Every weekday when the popular column Cheers and Jeers appears at Daily Kos, a woman who goes by the handle PhillyGal posts a picture of a cat. It's just for fun - the C&J crowd is a critter-loving bunch. Bill, the column's author, includes a puppy pic of the day in every column. Lots of people get in on the act and cute animals of all sorts get posted. When I saw this pic I couldn't wait to post it for PhillyGal.
I'm a dog person. But lately for some reason I've been drawn to cats. Which is unfortunate as I'm highly allergic to them! Getting in the witchy spirit I've been fantasizing about having a little black cat of my own. I went with a friend to see an apartment and the owners had a black cat named Inky. I wasn't allergic to her! I'm convinced that she was a spirit in animal form. I wonder if she has any siblings who would be willing to come to live with me.

At the shelter where I've been taking pictures, there is an adoption hold on all black and orange cats.
Apparently, in the past these colored cats have been adopted around this time of the year for less than admirable purposes. It's sad that the restriction has to be in place because there may be some good owners looking for just that cat! They'll have to wait until November (there's this little black cat named Rose who is so sweet!)
