Happy Shadoween!

Shadow is really excited today!  Besides the fact that he cannot wait for Halloween tomorrow, he is also excited that it's another Shadowy Saturday.  (He really is getting quite an ego with all this attention.  It's okay, we're letting him just run with it for now.  Or at least until November 1.)

He's so excited. And by "excited" we mean "sleepy".

In preparation, Shadow has decided to snuggle up to his human and catch a little nap.  Aww.  After all, he'll have plenty of time tomorrow when he can run around and terrorize things, mostly his toys and his brother.   He trained hard all week by doing a few reps of his best Halloween cat pose. 

Since Shadow is busy napping, we decided it might be best to let his human have a chance to say something....

Shadow is more than just a name to describe this all black cat's appearance.

When he was a kitten, he would hide in a variety of places to ambush your feet; in a cabinet, under a chair or in a dimly lit corner... but sometimes, literally in plain sight. Usually, this would involve curling up on a black backpack, sweatshirt or anything else that happened to be on the floor.

I wish I could say I had a good picture of this, but like any good ninja he was very hard to see, and pictures of all black cats on black objects are almost impossible to take well. Its like trying to find whipped cream in a snowstorm, or a spoonful of mustard on a taxi.

Shadow actually went a few weeks before he had a name, it wasn't until he got used to his surroundings that he would even come out to play... he would only eat when nobody was watching.

I'd urge anyone who has a shy newly adopted kitty to give them a chance, as this little guy is one of the friendliest cats you could ask for now that he loves his new home.

Wow...that's a great endorsement for all black cats, isn't it?  Give a black cat a chance to warm your heart and amazing things can happen. 

So remember in yesterday's post where we said we had one final marketing thing up our sleeves?  Well in honor of Halloween and Shadowy Saturday, The Mew Crew is dropping their adoption fees on all black and even partially black cats to just $31.  (We didn't think of it first, but it's a cool idea and we're running with it!)

Doesn't it sound like a great weekend to start the adoption on a black kitty?   Email us today at mewcrew [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com to find your new all (or partially) black kitty!

Only one more day left in Black Cat Awareness Month.  Have you caught up on all the other posts?  Sounds like a cool way to spend your Saturday to us!
