What's Halloween with black cats? While the superstitious may dread a black cat crossing their paths, I live with one that follows me into the bathroom every morning to watch me shave (I don't know what she finds so interesting about it). Her name is Charlotte, and even though my wife and I adopted her one year ago this month as a kitten she hasn't gotten much larger than she was when we first brought her home. Indeed, she's so adorable that she gets away with nearly everything, often pawing at my pants legs whenever I open the fridge in the hopes that she'll soon be receiving a slice of turkey.
I should probably amend my opening statement, though; black cats are considered good luck in some places. While generally considered to be bad luck or associated with witches in countries that experienced witch hunts, countries in which witch hunts were rare or nonexistent may still regard black cats to be good luck. In reality, black cats have no influence on luck good or bad, but I'm glad I have a little black feline skittering around the apartment.

Oh my! She is adorable! Is she a good lap kitty too?
May I ask what make/model of camera you use? With Christmas coming up I've been meaning to have a word with Santa about digital cameras.
Jeff; Charlotte actually doesn't like to be cuddled, but she is very affectionate. She follows me around most mornings, purring and clawing at my leg for attention. Indeed, the only time she jumps up on my lap is when she wants to see what I'm doing at the computer.
Zwirko; I recently covered the details of my camera equipment and how I take photographs in this post. I hope you find it useful.
