The Black Cat Ambassador Carried a Sealed Scroll With Yellow Eyes Fixed Ahead

AI imageblack catnapoleonic portraitambassador

A black cat with piercing yellow eyes sits very straight in a navy coat, with a wide blue sash across his chest and a gold star medal pinned to it. Gold epaulettes decorate the shoulders, and a white lace cravat foams at the throat. In one black paw, he holds a rolled scroll sealed with red wax and tied with a ribbon. The dim background shows a column and a green curtain. Ambassador Shadow looks utterly serious, as though the fate of two kingdoms depends on this very delivery, and he alone can be trusted with it.

Black cats have a long history of both superstition and affection. Today they are simply cats with plenty of dark pigment, and their personalities are as varied as any other color. Their coats can look rusty in bright sun, which is natural. In many shelters, black cats take longer to be adopted, so they are worth considering for anyone looking for a feline friend. Like all cats, they enjoy play, perches and a quiet routine. If your cat likes carrying toys around, a small stuffed mouse can become its own important scroll, delivered proudly to your feet. Ask your vet about playtime and diet.

The scroll is sealed, the sash is straight, and the ambassador is composed. His message will be delivered, as long as nobody tempts him with a ribbon first.
