When I was a kid we had a black cat on our farm. He was an outdoor cat - he didn't want to be inside - he preferred to roam around our barns and our neighbors barns. He was such a sweet heart to us humans but both of his ears were cut in half from fighting with other cats. Loved that cat.
The genetic mutation that causes a cat’s fur to be black is in the same family as genes known to give humans resistance to diseases, and some scientists believe the color may have less to do with camouflage and more to do with diseases resistance.
