a black cat is a domestic cat with black fur that may be a mixed
or specific breed, or a common domestic cat of no particular breed. the
cat fanciers' association (cfa) recognizes 22 cat breeds that can come
with solid black coats. the bombay breed is exclusively black. all-black
fur pigmentation is slightly more prevalent in male cats than female cats.
most black cats have golden irises due to their high melanin
pigment content. in popular myths, witches are believed to be associated
with black cats.
