My real witch cat.

Being an avid Edgar Allan Poe fan and lover of Halloween, I had wanted a black cat for a very long time. I love all cats, but there is just something about the black ones that I find particularly beautiful.

About a year ago, I finally got my wish, and I have to say, I think he is the most handsome cat that ever lived (not that I'm biased). I call him Pluto, after Poe's short story.

He's my little buddy- he follows me everywhere, sleeps with me, and he won't cuddle or purr for anyone else. We have our own little game, too. Every time I go into my bedroom, he'll dart under the bed and wait for me to walk by, then attack my unsuspecting ankles until I get down on all fours and play with him.

I even dressed up as a witch for Halloween last year and carried him around with me! I was the only witch at the party with a REAL black cat. ;)
