and on the topic of black cats, I have only had success with black cats. they bring me good luck.

My first cat was a grey feral cat that I tamed while at Berkeley. He met an early demise in the garden of the racist German lady who lived in our condo complex. I found him in her garden one morning, lifeless and his mouth full of dirt. I was very sad.

The maintenance man offered to bury him in the hole he had just dug to plant a 2 foot evergreen tree.

For days after, I swear I heard a far off meowing cry while at night. My sister heard it too. And then I worried I had buried him alive. I was sick with grief for weeks. I had just started learning to play "Claire de Lune" on the piano, while the grey kitty would nap on top of it. So that was his song - I would play it over and over, crying. My sister worried about my mental stability and we went out and adopted a black kitty and named him Romeo.

That tree grew about 40 feet in the first few years.

I hate hearing about cats or any other animal, suffering. It makes me sad.
