Pepper

Here's my friend's black cat. I used to have a black cat too -- Mudball (may he rest in cat Timbuktu). My family's first black cat was Midnight, who I believed my mom named. I admit to having a few superstitious beliefs but a black cat being a bad omen isn't one of them.

I sometimes wish I kept the grayish blue kitten I found in the parking area 3 years ago. It would have been as big as Pepper now.

Couldn't resist taking Pepper's picture when sitting comfortably across me staring at my heathered muffler.
