An everyday black cat becomes symbolic once a year on halloween. We are told that having a black cat run by you on haloween symbolize bad luck. Without symbolism this cat would be nothing but a cat. This being said symolism affects our everyday life.
I love this of my girl SIERRA! You can even see the wrinkles in her snout! This one did have a background so I removed it and normally I do not like black, but somehow, with the lighting and special touches, it was just right for this one :)
