Although black cats have a terrible reputation for bringing bad luck in most parts of the world, there are lots of places where they aren't at all unlucky. Having a black cat is believed to boost the number of suitors for a single woman in Japan; if one crosses your path from right to left in Germany, England, and Ireland good things are on the way.

Their black fur can rust over time. There are three variants of the black fur gene (solid black, brown, and cinnamon), and the hue is aligned with the pattern. If a cat has a solid black hue buthas a dominant tabby stripe gene, sun exposure can make the eumelanin pigment in its fur break down to reveal its once-invisible stripes. Another potential cause of this is nutritional deficiency. So don't be surprised if your black kitty is slowly turning less black!
