Happy Halloween people and felines of Steemit!
Halloween is typically a time of fun and celebration, but not always so if you happen to be a black cat. So here's Curator Cat (wearing my most sincere look!) with a "public service announcement:"
There ARE still some sick and twisted individuals in the world who believe black cats are "evil" or "bad luck," or — worse still — try to catch black cats to use them in cruel rituals and sacrifices.
So if you have a black cat, please keep it indoors for a few days, even if it is used to roaming the neighborhood!
I'm fortunate to have a good and loving home, and my Hoomans would not let harm come to me... but not all cats are so fortunate.
I am glad that many animal shelters no longer will adopt out black cats during the month of October... for the cats' safety.
Now, everybody go out there and have a lovely — but safe — Halloween!
So sad @curatorcat, you stay inside where it's safe.... Just like my baby Mountain Lion.... he sleeps at the foot of my bed! :)
resteemed!!!
Thanks for visiting @silvertop; I am definitely going to remain inside and safe till at least the first week of November! Glad you are keeping yours inside, as well. Sad that there are so many crazy and cruel Hoomans in the world...

Black Kittens Matter!!! We live out in the woods on a mountain so all our black kitties will be safe. Our 4 black kitties I post pictures of are indoors anyways.
The real truth is black cats are good luck. At least according to the Irish.
I tend to agree that black cats are good luck! Glad to hear your kitties are safe; there are some really sick individuals out there.

SICK AND TWISTED are the right words! I don't know how people could be so stupid. All you have to do is say sick and twisted people are bad luck and then they can dispose of themselves.😁
I wish we didn't have to worry about such things, but sadly we DO. Good suggestion, though!

Thank you for this PSA, Curator Cat! 💙
You're welcome @phoenixwren! I just worry that a lot of people don't realize that these twisted practices continue, even in our modern times.

This is so sad but true. I volunteer at an animal rescue charity and we get so many cases of abuse and cruelty towards animals. As a rule, we avoid giving out for adoption black cats during this time. Please keep your cats safe on halloween! Thank you for this reminder!
Good to hear your shelter also follows the idea of not adopting out black cats at this time of the year. Every little bit helps!
