As many must be aware by now, iCat changed his name by deed poll to The Black Cat earlier this year. More recently he changed it again to The Black Arrow, a reference to the way he sped upstairs in the summer months and invited me to play hide and seek with him. In actual fact, the move did not turn out as he planned as it became very apparent that he was not really black at all, but rather a very common off-brown colour. He was not black; he was just brown; that's all.
I'm not sure there is a truly black cat, as can be seen when you stroke their fur the "wrong" way. This came as a rude shock when pointed out to Archie and his sulk continued for days.
