Description
🐾 Want a longer, healthier life for your cat — and to support the channel while you're at it? My complete owner's manual is here: https://stevecooperpets.com/
Your black cat has done one thing to you hundreds of times, maybe thousands, and you've almost certainly missed every single one.
It isn't luck and it isn't mystery. It's what all that dark fur hides from your eyes.
Black cats are the most misread cats in the house, not because of who they are but because of what we can't see. Steve Cooper isn't a vet, but he has lived with cats and dogs his whole life and taken in more strays and fosters than he can count. In this video he goes through 15 things black cat owners never notice.
You'll find out why black cats "rust" to a reddish brown in the sun, why faint tabby stripes show up in bright light, and why black cats so often have gold, copper, amber or green eyes. You'll also learn how to read her pupils, ears and whiskers when her face disappears into the dark, how to take a decent photo of a black cat, and how to tell a true black cat from a hidden smoke.
We also cover black cat superstitions around the world, from good luck in Britain and Japan to shelters that pause black cat adoptions around Halloween. Then there's the care side: white hairs on senior cats, coat changes that mean a trip to the vet, keeping a dark coat cool in summer, and why she's always under your feet at dusk.
