August 17th is black cat appreciation day! Here are some fun black cat facts! Show us your fabulous black felines below!

The Egyptians revered all cats as good luck. Today, many cultures worldwide view black cats as good luck.

Somewhere during the Middle Ages, Europeans got the idea that black cats were associated with witchcraft. The elderly, solitary women who often fed and cared for stray cats were also often (mis) identified as witches and the cats as their conspirators.

In England (except Yorkshire) and Ireland, should a black cat cross your path, it’s good luck.
Speaking of Great Britain, giving a cat to a bride in the English Midlands is good luck.

Are you Scottish? A strange black cat arriving at your home means you may win the jackpot!(A stray black cat arriving on your doorstep signals prosperity.).

If you’re a pirate, it gets even more complicated. If the black cat is walking toward you, it’s bad luck. If it’s walking away, that’s good. If the cat walks onto the ship and then back off—get off the ship, it’s going to sink. If you can get a cat to do any of those things on command, that’s impressive.

In Japan, black cats are considered symbols of good luck, especially for single women. Owning a black cat is thought to attract potential suitors.
In Russia, all cats are viewed as lucky.

There is not just one breed of black cat. There are 19 cat breeds in the Cat Fanciers Association directory that list “black” as a color option.

Many black cats have golden eyes, which is the result of high melanin pigment content in their bodies.

Black cats can be boys or girls, but more are male than female.

Black cats go with every décor, and, best of all, you can’t see their fur on your furniture!

🔎 Check the Chip Day is here! 🔎
As veterinary professionals, you know that microchips can significantly increase the chances of being reunited with a lost pet. But a microchip is only effective if the registration info is UTD!

Help us recognize by making sure to remind your clients to update their microchip information, or taking a little bit of extra time to educate on the importance of microchipping. 🐶🐱

Our microchip lookup tool can assist in finding registration companies: https://hubs.li/Q02Lq6pB0

Let’s make sure every lost pet finds their way home! 🏡💙
