What My Black Cat Taught Me

I signed in Bellaā€™s name when we arrived at the Pet Clinic and I sat down.  The clinicā€™s next appointment arrived, a blonde woman also with a cat; she sat right next to me.  The friendly blonde asked me:  ā€œIs that a black cat in your carrier?ā€  I answered that she is a female black cat and the last chosen from a litter of kittens that we adopted last year.  The blonde bent over her cat carrier and opened the door lifting out a beautiful black female cat.  Then she said:   ā€œBlack cats and dogs are least adopted so I only adopt black cats.ā€  ā€œReally, I wondered why people bypass black cats and dogs.  I never heard that before,ā€ I answered. Just then, they called Bellaā€™s name and we were led into the exam room.   I have no reason to doubt the blondeā€™s research.  Our conversation got me thinking, however, about favoritism and adoption.
