This little furry cat, hand crafted by Alice Zinn, measures 2 1/8" long. This one is just in time for Halloween, or for that spooky roombox. In Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens, specifically being suspected of being the familiars of witches; in other cultures they are considered to be good omens. Black cats have been found to have lower odds of adoption in American shelters compared to other colors (except brown).
