Friday Tip

Dear Constant Reader,

Happy Friday! And even more so, happy Friday the 13th! We’re celebrating with our Bad Luck Burlesque show at Deagon Giles Speakeasy Lounge in Salem. What could go wrong? 

Here’ s a thematic tip:

Black cats make great pets.

You know how fond I am of cats. And I’m very fond of black cats. My first cat, Selene, was all black and, of course, now we have Bartholomew. He’s so affectionate and clever and great at camouflage. There’s many a time I’ve gone to pet him in the dark only to encounter a pillow and then see a pool of shadow open its eyes and begin purring.

However, there is still some weird prejudice against black cats and they are adopted much less than cats of other colors. Personally, I don’t understand it, but it’s a real problem.

Devastasia recently adopted her own black cat from Black Cat Rescue! They’re a great organization here in Boston specializing in these hard-to-place cats. Consider adopting from them or supporting them with a donation.
