I had a cat that looked like him. He also looked like he had reddish-brown fur but it was all black. He was much puffier thou and looked a lot like a bear so we named him Bear.

The March 2003 issue of NewScientist, “Black cats may be the more fortunate felines,” research showed that ebony felines may have a health advantage over other cats. The gene for melanism, which makes their fur black, may be able to prevent certain viruses or bacteria from entering their cells, making them more resistant to disease than cats with lighter-colored coats, according to scientists.

A study by researchers at the University of Minnesota this year that showed cat owners were 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke. For reasons that were unclear, the study did not show the same result with dog owners.

:giggle: Me, too. (My ex-sister-in-law used to call me a know-it-all because I always knew something about almost anything she asked about. The problem with that was I actually did know about it, no guessing, no speculation. "Hi, SIL, you lose, I do know.") ;)

I wish I was a know-it-all too but I still have lots of things left to learn :D

Me, too. I just have that type of mind that stores an excess of trivia about almost anything I find interesting. Both a blessing and a curse... ;)

FYI all black cats are actually brown as it is just super dense brown melanin and all black cats are tabbies, you just can't see the markings unless you catch them in exactly the right light.
