Happy Friday the 13th.
Hi my name is Allie, but that's not important at all. What IS important is that this is my daughter, Jyn Erso.
She was named for the rebellious Rogue One lead character.
In case you can't tell, I love Jyn more than I love most human beings; however, not everyone feels the same way I do about black cats.
Upon adopting her I was SPECIFICALLY WARNED by the foster home "not to let her near any windows in October or on any Friday the 13th." When I naively asked why, I received the horrifying response "some people seek out, capture, and kill black cats" during those times because of the ancient superstition that they are bad luck.
But this led me to wonder...WHY WOULD ANYONE BELIEVE THIS FACE IS BAD LUCK?
They literally look like little furry versions of Toothless, the dragon from How to Train Your Dragon.
And who didn't LOVE Toothless?!

Catwoman is iconic AF, and she CHOSE to be a black cat.
Like...why would you question her choices?

Salem is easily the best character on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, so your black cat will already have a great role model.

You can dress them up and make them even MORE adorable than they already are.
Like this little bat baby.
Since some people are scared of them (for literally no reason), adopting one automatically gives you some badass points.
If someone is superstitious and rude, causally let them know your baby has your back, always.
If eyes are truly the windows to the soul, then black cats have the most beautiful souls of any creature on Earth.

If they get fur on you during snuggle time, it will not stand out on your black clothing, thus perfecting your ~adult goth aesthetic~.
All black everything.

So go out and pet a black cat today...or even better, adopt one! I can vouch from personal experience that they are truly the best.
