Ganon was a sweet boy who helped raise my son, and taught the next generation of cats how to cat.

He might have been evil though.

Evil and bad luck

Heyyy! That's a half truth!

My cat helping gardening back in 2016.

Clearly pure evil. I mean he's literally sitting on the piled up corpses of his enemies!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Such a hard worker! I hope they got an extra dinner out of that.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 7 hours ago

My black cats are an enormous pain, but I wouldn't say evil, they spend most of the time trying to find new ways to make all my cloths fluffy.

Where did this slander originate from?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Black cats are the best. Got one on a whim 13 years ago and he's everyone's friend.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 5 points 8 hours ago

I dont know how true the bad luck thing is but the week my previous car died there were three black cats sitting on my car when I got off work, and I thought it might be a warning. Then the morning the radiator blew and I found oil in the coolant I thought if those cats telling me it was about to happen

The blep in the center is legendary.

Looks like the little human faces they put on cats in medieval drawings lol

Lol yes exactly

[–] partzel@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Now that you bring it humans are interesting in peculiar ways, they went from putting human faces on cats to putting cat faces on humans in just about 500 years!

That last one is a hacker and social engineer.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

all cats are social engineers

Black cats are best cats

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

"Black cats are evil" sounds kinda like racism...

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Especially if you’re still stuck speaking 70’s slang

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

My cat who loved to almost 22 was mostly black. If she was laying in the sun, you could see a few faint orange splotches.

Very cuddly with me and my wife, terrified of other humans. Also an utterly fantastic mouser who didn’t even see her first one until she was 13, but caught them like a pro.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I am horrified

[–] somebody_to_love@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

My black cats are lovely, very cuddly, but definitely more scaredy and cautious than other house cats I’ve met. I wonder whether there’s something in their genes that makes them less trusting due to generations and generations of abuse from humans who thought they were incarnations of witches.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 3 points 8 hours ago

We had a batch of cats spawn in the back yard of my parents house, none were black but even though they were all from the same litter they all had totally different levels of trust to us from aggressive to super chill you can pick up and toss over your shoulder like a baby

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 4 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Is that last one shit talking on LoL? Maybe that one is evil.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 2 points 3 hours ago

How dare you, cat! My mother was a saint...
