It is almost universally believed that black cats bring bad luck, so much so that sometimes these little felines are rejected by many people. However, their dark color takes nothing away from their tenderness, beauty, and charm. In fact, they are just as present in them as they are in any other cat.

Bright Side believes that any living being is worthy of a bit of love, regardless of their appearance. Therefore, we have gathered 17 photos of black cats whose strong jet black color sincerely makes you fall in love with them.

1. “I was told that most shelters were full of black cats, not because people are superstitious, but because they are generally not ’good’ when it comes to taking photos of them. Therefore they aren’t social media friendly. Matilda and I strongly disagree. Go rescue a beautiful black cat.”
