After our 18 year old cat died, I decided to adopt another adult cat, knowing they usually have a harder time finding forever homes. But then I saw two black 3 month old kittens that had been rescued and placed at my vet awaiting adoption. They captured my heart so my husband and I adopted both of them. Cash, named for Johnny Cash who always dressed in black, and Bagheera, the black panther in Jungle Book, love to chase each other around, play with their toys and sit on their cat tree. During these hard economic times, they've been a source of delight and laughter and have energized our other two older cats at the same time.
