This is Caesar, he's only 6 months old. Believe it or not he looks almost black in person!

Yup, black cats in bright sunlight bring out brown tones. People usually don't realize it unless they have had a black cat.

My black cat had tiger stripes when he was just months old. Over the years the hair darkened into all black but as he has gotten into his twilight his red hair has returned and his stripes are back. Hopefully you get that same fun with coloration!

Maybe a 'mood cat', they were very popular back in the day.

Nowadays, I just have 'moody cats'.
