Black cat kittens typically range in price from $15 to $75 USD.
The term 'black cat' broadly refers to cats with entirely black fur. These cats, often perceived as majestic and mysterious, were historically known as 'mystical cats'. They are sometimes confused with Bombay cats, which are a specific breed, but they can be easily distinguished by their eyes, nose, ears, and face shape. Bombay cats have copper-colored eyes, a short, upturned nose, broad, rounded ears, and a round face (a breed developed by crossing American Shorthairs and Burmese cats), giving them a somewhat innocent look.
Who Should Own a Black Cat?
Generally, the best candidates for black cat ownership are individuals who genuinely desire to have a black cat and love cats in general. They should be prepared to take full responsibility for their feline companion, refraining from any form of abuse and making time for quality interaction.
Owning a black cat also requires a strong sense of responsibility, as it's not a task for individuals with fleeting interests. Abandoning a black cat after initially wanting one can cause significant harm to their personality and mental well-being. Black cat adoption should be a very serious commitment.
Therefore, black cat owners need patience. In addition to feeding, they should occasionally take their cat out for exercise. Furthermore, black cat care requires diligence. Owners must ensure their cats receive annual vaccinations and regular baths. The cost of the kitten is not the only thing that matters, long term health care needs to be factored in. Responsible pet ownership is a commitment to the cat for its entire life. The price to buy a black kitten should be viewed as the initial cost, and long term ownership should be the important commitment.
