Black Cat Month

I don't know if this is something dreamed up to add to Halloween hype, but I found it - where else? - on the Internet.

Depending on your outlook, black cats can be bad luck or good luck. When not associated with witches and witchcraft, they are favorites of designers and advertisers, who have used them to sell all kinds of products. Years ago I found a book called The Black Cat Made Me Do It, filled with old advertising, like this:


So, as the temperature drops outside and leaves begin to turn, consider offering your favorite black cat a place of honor in front of the fireplace (or on your bed.)

And don't forget a small treat - some fromage, perhaps?
