Why Black Cats Are The Best Cats

With it being the month of October, it makes perfect sense to see images of black cats everywhere you go. Whether they're next to witches or flying on broomsticks, these cute, cuddly cats seem to be synonymous with Halloween. Yet, black cats have the lowest adoption rates across the board mostly because of their supposed connections to old superstitions. Some believe that these cats are symbols of bad luck, misfortune, or even omens of death. My own great-grandmother would stop and turn her car around if a black cat crossed in front of her when she was driven. I can't even begin to imagine her face if she knew that I own one of these supposed omens of death myself. After owning Sapphire for just over three years, I now know that black cats are some of the best cats you can ever own!

They look just like Toothless!

Toothless or Sapphire? You decide.

Just look at that adorable face! It makes you wonder if the animators of How to Train Your Dragon designed Toothless after a black cat.

Sometimes they look like they just finished an entire box of powdered doughnuts

This is the face of a glutton who just ate an entire box of doughnuts.

Pumpkins are usually okay but gourds are scary.

Just plop down a pumpkin next to your cat or take them outside towards a pile of leaves and you instantly have your next Instagram post!

They are quite possibly the cutest little ghost detectors out there

Just look at that adorable face staring at nothing.

I have two cats. One is black, and one isn't. One chases things that aren't visible to the naked eye but are on camera. Any guesses which cat sees the ghosts?

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
