18 Free Black Cat Crochet Patterns
Longtime readers know that I have two rescued black cats at home. Before I adopted these guys I didn’t know about the plight of black cats in animal shelters. They have lower adoption rates and higher rates of being euthanized, which is tragic because black cats are wonderful!
If you’re a fan of black cats, you may enjoy the Jackson Galaxy video below about myths and superstitions about black cats from a variety of cultures.
