I've always had a black cat

I've always had a black cat. There is even a picture of me as a baby sleeping with a black cat in my crib. No one remembers her name though.

When I was about eight a cat gave birth to two black kittens, Snip and Snap. I wanted original names for them. We kept Snap for four years until she was killed by a car.

Right now I have two black cats, Cosmic Creepers and Bastet. I named Cosmic after a black cat in my favorite Disney movie. I liked Bastet because in Egyptian culture the cat goddess protected a home from evil spirits and diseases.

Even my father has commented on how I have a thing for black cats. Nothing bad has ever happened to me because of these felines.
