Black Cats Have Good Karma
Back in the day-the 70's-when I spent some time at a zen retreat the sensei there had 5 black cats. One day I had to ask "Sensei, why do you have only black cats?" The sensei replied "Black cats have good karma." Now the sensei was always testing us in mysterious ways, so I stood there waiting for the zen punch line. He did that knowing zen laugh and said, "There is nothing more to learn than black cats have good karma. Your path is not here, go dance." So jump ahead to the present-a plumber came to my house to fix the never ending running toilet. He walks in and the first thing he says is "You have a black cat. I have three black cats. I only have black cats because they have such good karma." And finally someone fixed the never ending running toilet and it has never run since.

Sounds like "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handy. 
Indeed, black kitties make people nervous. Yours look quite elegant all together there. We had a black kitten (briefly) long ago--Oreo. We gave her to a lonely old gal who begged my mom for her. She-she...our long-standing solo cat was relieved, I'm sure. He was the BEST! She-she kept us fulfilled for almost 16 years.CATS are good Karma. It's all-good when the beasties are In The House!
