Introducing Floyd the Black Cat, our pet of the week! πββ¬
Floyd is a rescue cat, and a resident here at the Preserve at Peters Township! This lovable lad has beautiful silky black fur, and cute little yellow eyes. He is a climber and likes to walk around in high spaces. Floyd is bit shy, but to people he knows, he's the best of best friends!
πFun Fact About Black Cats:
Unfortunately, Black Cats in particular are less likely to be adopted from shelters due to a long-standing superstition in Northern countries about them being tied to bad luck and witchcraft. However, the truth is that black cats are friendly, social, and make fantastic pets for families. Actually, in other parts of the world, black cats can be associated with positive changes. In France and Scotland, a black cat sitting on your doorstep can be thought to signify financial gain will be coming in one's life soon. In Germany and Australia, a black cat crossing your path is thought to bring good luck, not bad. And in Japan, it is thought that single women owning black cats are more likely to find love.
