We have a stray here - I guess. A bit chubby even and loves a belly-rub from those who are willing to join (me!!!).
I was told cats don´t like belly-rubs but this black beauty does!
I think for "now" it´s the closest I come to petting a cat.
I had a colleague, two black cats (we all talked via MS teams, LOL) and a black chair - very dangerous!!
I join Elle with black cat today.
My Story:
A black cat walking under a ladder... Friday 13th... Lucky events!
My Mum was all in!
Henry 🦁
Too much new stuff at work (still!) to try out new art-stuff, but I think I´m at it!
I started with stamps, these cats I simply sketched. I owe you!!!
Don´t you egg me 🥚

Your cats sketch is very good. my daughter always had black cats, but won't be having any more pets now since Missy died. I'm the same, no more pets after Lola dies. She is only 13, so we have lots of years left. Missy was 21.
The dried yeast I tried to send to you came back to me today.
Yes, I can imagine when you lose a pet-friend you think more than twice if to go through it again. To decide if you can one more time give and get so much love and then let go so early again.
I had a mouse... She lived to some Granma-age of 2 1/2... clever and caring she was. I was at school when she passed. I was 14 and am still sad thinking of her.
Darn it with the stupid post office here, I am sorry!!!!
P.S since I work from home my home address is the to-be one, I just need to know a circa-date so I can activate the bell.
My post-office guy said he got 5 parcels for me - I had no info and he is not allowed to inform me, so that way does not work, either. Germany.... I lost a DVD, a book, a poster that way. The rest I have not even an idea of!
Bleubeard and I both give your black cats two paws and 2 thumbs up. And your other sketch is great, too. Thanks for sharing the cats with us at AJJ using Elle's theme, dear.
Thank you both! 😘😻
Your black cats are very cute Iris :)
Your cats are adorable Iris. Would you take in this stray who loves tummy rubs? He/she sounds like a lover. This is another great page for Elle's challenge, and thanks for joining us. Hope your week is going well. hugs-Erika
Sami, thank you.

Erika, I don´t know if it´s a stray - I saw no ear-tag, but Ingo sure would not be happy - neither the neighbors who love this cat as well ;-)
I see it often that belly rubs are given with joy! Hugs, also from the black beauty!
Cats will only show their belly to you if they trust you. The kitty recognizes you are a very special person.
...Henry looks so stylish.
I really like your art. You are so talented. As for cats, I am not fond of them. Too many here, they are a nuisance. Gigi hawaii
Cute illustrations!
Happy National Black Cat Day! Yay for cat sketches! Love them Iris, and your Henry drawing too (big cat). I have black cats so I am a big fan. I used to have a cat who loved belly rubs too, his eyes would glaze over and he would fall asleep while getting his belly rubbed. Unfortunately none of my current house panthers are up for that, they would prefer to rip my hand off for trying haha. Thanks for joining me for the October theme at Art Journal Journey this month Elle/Empire of the Cat xx
CJ, I think I live in a very trustworthy neighborhood :-)

magiceye, thank you :-)

Elle, oh, sad you new mates don´t like belly rubs!!!!
Thank you for the meme, it was (is) fun!
Mittens loves a belly-rub as well. She will deliberately roll over to expose her belly so I can rub it for her - then she purrs and purrs and purrs :)
Love the cat drawings. We had many black cats through the years along with other ones. Loved them all.
Happy National Black Cat Day!
Cute sketches. :)
I think black cats are beautiful. Love their shiny coats! We had one at home when I was growing up. She was a sweet little thing. <3
Enjoy your new cat. :D
Margaret, awwww, cute!

Bill, if only Ingo would like cats!

Divers and Sundry: YES!
Cats love belly rubs. Till they don't! Then they swipe out at you, so be fast, be aware of claws! But gentle rubs, Lizzie, at least, loves. I hope your cat becomes less a stray and more a family member!
Well done, those cats! I'm not afraid: we got married on friday 13th
