Despite their winning personalities, black cats will allegedly languish in American animal shelters for longer periods of time than their differently-colored counterparts.

Thats because western cultures often view black cats as bad luck because they were thought to be the companions of witches in the 14th century.

But now thanks to Black Panther, the latest Marvel flick to hit movie theaters, black cats are being adopted by the dozens. Unexpected Benefit of Black Panther: my local pet shelters went from having something like 50-60 black cats between them to having NONE, because theyve all been adopted out and named after the characters.

Tchalla is the most popular, but there are a fair number of Okoyes and Shuris as well. And one very confused Elderly Humane Society Volunteer wondering why someone would name such a sweet cat Killmonger, they added.

If youre concerned about whether this is a short-lived fad that will end in the cats being returned a while time later, the writer reassures us by saying that the adoption process of the local shelters is extremely stringent.

And while an ASPCA spokesperson of New York City reportedly told media sources that they have seen no particular increase in black cat adoptions, the blogger goes on to say that at least cat adoptions are up in general even if its just in one Colorado town.

Additionally, one movie theater in Dallas reportedly held an adoption event where anyone who adopted a black cat was given two free movie tickets to see Black Panther. According to the Dallas Observer, the shelter did not have enough cats to fulfill the demand.

Didn't that happen because everyone went out and bought pet fish and failed to take care of them so they died?

No they thought flushing their pet fish down the toilet would get them "home" to the ocean with their families.

So kids all across the world when they got home flushed their family pet fish down the toilet.

It's good the black cats are finally getting homes, but I can't help but wonder how fit these homes will really be considering the kitties we're picked up just because their owners saw a movie recently.

You're right, they're better off neglected in a shelter.

I've always wanted to adopt a cat but my moms allergic.

I'd never give it a name like Tchalla though.

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long
