"Josie is our first black cat. We weren't looking to adopt another cat -- she found us. While we were out for the day, she found a quiet spot in our back yard and fell asleep. When we got home, she decided hubby and I would do as her new family. (Her original people seemed to have abandoned her because she on the mommy track.)"

"Josie was a sweet overnight house-guest, so I felt like I'd betrayed her trust when I handed her over to our local humane society.

She was fostered, and her all-black, all-girl litter swiftly found homes. We adopted Josie. She turned out to be bossy and opinionated but we love her!"

This photo of Josie was so attractively staged that it has already been used on this site in several areas, including the 2010 Black Cats Picture Gallery, and the Halloween Cats Picture Gallery.
