Yes I...Hi Susan,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and posting. <br /><br />Yes I'm aware that cats were sacred in ancient Egypt and probably other places too. <br /><br />This may sound morbid, but I've cremated a lot of mine and they will be joining me in my coffin one day, so we can spend eternity together, our bodies anyway.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-82021703789006961642012-11-02T14:03:39.061-06:002012-11-02T14:03:39.061-06:00Cats were sacred in ancient Egypt.

You could be killed for harming a cat, and in fact a Roman soldier once was. Pets were mummified and entombed with their owners. Especially cats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-56331264875764585412012-10-31T08:16:38.654-06:002012-10-31T08:16:38.654-06:00Valerie,

It may be hard to think that there are people out there who would do things like this, but they do exist, even today. <br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-3236022784213904462012-10-31T00:36:38.578-06:002012-10-31T00:36:38.578-06:00After seventeen beloved dogs, a little black cat a...After seventeen beloved dogs, a little black cat adopted me. She was the most precious thing in the world to me. What character,courage, intelligence, sweetness, I could go on for ever, and miss her terribly. It saddens me to think that black cats have to face such unkind prejudice.<br />Such a good post Sunni,and I hope every-one passes on your warning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-22485351855153797892012-10-30T23:47:11.193-06:002012-10-30T23:47:11.193-06:00Hi Writing Coach,
Thanks for reading and writing....Hi Writing Coach,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and writing. Cats are just the best and I've found the black ones are the gentlist of the bunch. Wizard would always do a disappearing act on me and that's how he got his name. That cat could vanish in a flash and appear the same way. When he was younger he used to hide and grab my ankles when I'd walk by. I think he liked to startle me, so I'd squeal. He had the most beautiful green eyes too - like emeralds.<br /><br />Your cats sound adorable.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-40214072506433802782012-10-30T11:17:57.708-06:002012-10-30T11:17:57.708-06:00My own black cat looks so much like the photo of W...My own black cat looks so much like the photo of Wizard. He is a gentle Bombay-ish rescue kitty with a great sense of humor. Even after all these years, he still loves to play Hide & Seek with me. He's also willing to drape himself across one shoulder and accompany me throughout the house. He's a dear. His Russian Blue-ish rescue kitty pal is the Sumo wrestler of kitty-dom. He uses his weight and green-eyed glare to intimidate 100 pound Labs and any critter, for that matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-44558370140502732102012-10-29T21:02:06.861-06:002012-10-29T21:02:06.861-06:00Oh my gosh!

I know everyone can't love cats the way I do, but they're such loving marvelous creatures, so unlike a dog, although I like all animals. But cats are quiet and stealthy, independent, gentle and loyal despite an aloof nature. Of course I was raised with cats, but we had dogs too on the farm. I guess I just bonded with cats better.<br /><br />Thank you anyway for readng and writing. That means a lot. We can't all be of the same frame of mind. That's what makes such a wonderful world, isn't it?<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-90313195629135219382012-10-29T18:38:12.466-06:002012-10-29T18:38:12.466-06:00I'm not superstitious about black cats, but I&...I'm not superstitious about black cats, but I'm no fan of cats either. My mother has always disliked cats and I guess she passed that on to me.
