Black cats matter
kraeftig
They shouldn't be outside cats to begin with. They an invasive blight on the local ecosystem.

Most shelters won’t let people adopt black cats on Halloween . Mean people out there
Lurkerdraegon
In my country and I believe also in Mexico we are forbidden to put for adoption to back kittens, rabbits or dogs during this week
graceinsheepsclothing
I adopted a black cat on Oct 20, two years ago

Also keep an eye on people who would harm or kill people's pets, Known sign of a future murder.

Uh oh. This just popped up on my feed.

I hope she is found soon ?

I had a black indoor/outdoor cat that was furious with us every year when we wouldn't open the door on halloween for him to go out in the am

My family has had several black cats. When I was a kid, we found one of them on Nov 1 hiding under our car, it’d been shot in the back 1/2
5dashHashtagKill
And was paralyzed :( We’ve always been super careful to bring them in since then. Take care of your black cats!
Panserclaw
Fuck those ass lickers! Its a cat, a living animal, not something you abuse.
Chimponzoo
Mine are already in the house.

ngl. if o saw someone of any age randomly attack a cat (esp a black on on halloween) id just beat the shot out of them. no exceptions.>
ThomasThundersword
sure i’d go to jail for assault. and sure if they are at all fight capable they’d probably end my ass. but on principle. it must be done
Tumescentpie
Nov is a good time to adopt a black cat. Lots end up in shelters after Halloween, because people are bastards and think they are props
GrumpyGrumbo
Just keep your cats inside in general.
Mcfrans
I adopted a black cat yeaterday . Could i be in trouble ?

That is THE most adorable thing. Looks like a bat.
beggingyourmajestyspardon
When we got our black cat, we had to sign a contract saying we would not sacrifice him during Halloween. No joke.
VodkaReindeer
Shouldn't all your cats be inside all the time? Little murder machines.
theedragonlady
All my babies are indoor only. Well wishes to others ?
Merky600
Lil’ stray black kitten living in a lot. My sister finally brought him home Halloween night out of fear for his safety. Named him “Spooky”
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
5 years ago, I saw a nearly black cat up for adoption and halloween around the corner. She loves sleeping on the cable box :)
A55TRICKY
We have 4 pure black foster kittens we won't adopt out until after Halloween. Scary time for them.
Truevine16
How long are you planning to wait?
scojbo
Your caution is understandable but technically unnecessary. Evidence shows that cats are treated statistically average during Halloween.
scojbo
In fact, the only time it is extra important to protect cats (and dogs) is during the 4th of july(America). Animals act panicky and get shot
md8675309
Mine is an indoor cat but I just texted my sister to remind her.
kaeldra
We keep any color cat inside on halloween. People suck.
Kunitsu
yup! my black cat gets a lil more hidden, but all my babies get locked indoors no matter what. pups included!
scojbo
The real people who suck are the people fear-mongering over a problem that, statistically, doesn't increase during halloween.
SarcasSNsass2515
Ever figure that I'm not fear mongering but I actually might care all the time ? Or can you not possibly fathom that?
scojbo
"bring me inside on halloween" "Some folks are mean". You directly stated a scary cause/effect that does not exist. Use facts not fear.
kaeldra
I don't usually think it'll be a problem but better safe than sorry. My husband had a cat get gruesomely murdered as a kid so we're careful.
scojbo
Totally reasonable! I'm just sorta annoyed at all the misanthropic comments about how bad "people" are despite evidence to the contrary.
scojbo
I'm not bashing you. Being cautious is perfectly understandable. I'm bashing @OP for spreading misinformation.
adrianontherocks
I’m all for keeping most cats indoors all the time anyway, but thankfully there is little truth to the myth that people fuck with black >
Truevine16
That may be true but I think it’s better to not take any chances
adrianontherocks
Cats during the month of Halloween. There’s the occasional asshole but it’s no more likely this time of year.
drcurlyfat
I was wondering if this was like the "razors in candy" BS from years ago. Or people giving out expensive drugs.
adrianontherocks
Pretty much. I’m sure it’s happened but it’s not the common tragedy that some people think. Thankfully.
ApparentlyImaPsychopath
I have 4 black cats all indoors, I couldn't imagine someone hurting my precious kitties or any kitty for that matter
UserSubImgurian
Black kitties are best kitties!
SaveAChocoboRideAnAirship
Same. 4 black cats. Just told bf we need to be careful last night. We're on the 3rd floor, but still. No balcony for them.
Comeonnowreally
I’m pretty sure it’s just a myth anyway.
ApparentlyImaPsychopath
I wish it were a myth, but it's true
Pikkupanda
quattroformaggix4
It really isn’t. First,any change to normal human behaviour freaks out pets & some people are cunts. We are their custodians,no risks taken.
theraininspainfallsmainlyontheplain
Our shelter won't adopt out black cats in October bc of shit like this. It's real.
Comeonnowreally
Every link I can find online chalks it up to urban myth more than anything
quattroformaggix4
Ooof, that means people are being premeditated assholes. And adults too. Assholes.
scojbo
The real dicks are the people fear-mongering over a problem that, statistically, doesn't increase during halloween.
Rayxzerox
Statistically there is no conclusive evidence for either side.
scojbo
Two problems with your post. 1 - The burden of proof rests with he who made the claim. 2 - There IS AMPLE evidence to prove non-violence.
Rayxzerox
then please, it's not my post, and I'd love to see the ample evidence. I've only seen it mentioned as, "probably overstated but unstudied"
scojbo
Cat-violence-on-halloween has to be proven before it can be disproven. Pretty much every vet/researcher agrees its a hoax and that's ample.
SaraSlaughter
I am so glad i live upstairs, my two micro-panthers dart for the door whenever we open it but they just end up in the hall, all pissed off
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Our house has a foyer and then a second door to get to the main hallway. We use it as a "cat-lock". Ours don't try to get outside anyway, /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
but this way we can leave one door open if we're bringing a lot of stuff in from the car, and not worry that a cat might get curious and /2
SaraSlaughter
Omg its like in the movies where you swim to the submarine and go in a room where the water gets flushed out then u can go to the insideLOL
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Exactly, that's an airlock. Which is why I call ours a cat-lock. :)
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
dart out. Very handy. /3
SaraSlaughter
Upstairs has it drawbacks... Onyx was chasing Raven and they blasted up the back of the couch and almost busted out the screened bat window>
dsw47
I’m not fond of Cats. But I’m definitely against animal cruelty. If you don’t like an animal. Leave it alone!
scojbo
Agreed! Although I'd like to point out that statistically, cat violence does NOT increase during halloween, despite common belief.
Andrzhel
That. I am the same with dogs.. but even as a dog-disliker (i don't hate them), i wouldn't think about hurting them.
EdwardEH
Tbh they should remain indoors even when its not halloween, unless on a leash. Ourside Cats kill over 1 billion wild birds a year.
scojbo
So I'm genuinely curious why that's bad - beyond just a vague response like "it messes with the ecosystem."
MultiFacets
One more time for the people in the cheap seats, please.
mcglirkymeow
Not just that, I’ve Webber understood why dogs have to be on a leash and cats don’t. Animal outside = leash.
Stepnt
man fuck dem birds

WTF is wrong with people...

My old roommate had a Halloween party and someone tried to steal my gray kitty. It was drop my cat or get shot in the dick. Fucking furious.
tveye82
There are humans and there are people.
scojbo
Statistically there is no evidence to support cat violence rises during halloween (in america). So nothing is wrong with people in this case
silverwolf0
People are people
ArtSparkle
Yesterday a comment was made on one of my kitty posts "kill it with fire" that was removed. Some people are monsters
DarkBlueB
I’m speechless. What can people get from the gratuitous suffering of a living creature?
TuppenceWoofer
You gave the reason, they’re people. Just look up at how they killed Tigers so they could keep their skin unmarked
ThisOldCPU
For some, power and control. For others, it's spreading the misery they can't escape. The diseased mind is a varied wonderland of nightmares
SaraSlaughter
Agree. I feel like a prisoner in my own head during days of mental struggle. Its hell.
quattroformaggix4
A feeling of power over their own insignificant and unsatisfying lives. And a shit tonne of bad karma hopefully.
PeteThePerv
I think it's safe to assume that mr. "kill it with fire" is not going to kill anything with fire. He just talks shit online.
Twistfaria
The problem is speech leads to action unless it is prevented.
theedragonlady
I knew someone that talked shit like that and actually would abuse animals. Screw those people.
PeteThePerv
Yup, that person sucks.
