Three Black Kittens...Really?

I have always wanted a black cat. I have an orange one and a grey one, but one day I vowed to rescue a sleek black one. My husband swears I am a witch. Well then-- I need a black cat right?

Recently I began seeking information about the Wiccan way of life. Intrigued by its eco-centric philosophies, I decided to explore further and devote some time to meditation and cleansing.

Enter Kitty 1--Salem of course. Rescued from a trailer full of cats and dogs and disarray. One week later-- rescued from a home full of cats that are unaltered and running rampant--Poe (Edgar Allen).

One week after that--Styx--barely two weeks old--dying and alone. Now cozy and clean and bottle fed! All three in three weeks-- all Black! I do not feel unlucky, but I do feel a sense of communication with the universe.

Perhaps the Wiccan way of purity and oneness with Mother Earth is the way for me. Perhaps I needed more than one sign--three?? really???
