Lost another one of my sweet babies to the road today... A big black cat in broad daylight on a street right across from the school. People drive like idiots despite the high number of kids that live on this street. I have a sneaking suspicion it was on purpose, though. People do really stupid things to black cats around this time of year. Their superstitions are bred in deep, just like racism.
We called him Crow, it seemed fitting for his sleek black fur and bouncy attitude. He was a sweet boy, a stray that came to us around this time last year. He never bothered anyone, was very quiet and was the best of friends with one of our other cats.
