I am writing in defense of the black cat. I was very concerned to see a rendition of all the ignorant superstitions over the years, put upon beautiful, innocent black cats. (”Don’t cross black cats... not today,” page 1, April 13) Black cats are cats — beautiful, affectionate, loving, most gentle, loyal and pure. I had a black cat for many years. Anyone who would harm a black cat or any cat are the ones who should be wary of and superstitious about. Black cats are good they just want to be loved and cares for by good people like any other cat.
