Black cats have a little bit of a bad rep. There’s many myths surrounding them that make people want to avoid them. But in reality, black cats are just as adorable as any other cat, especially when you stare at them for too long and they start to look like the void. For that reason, here is a list of fictional black cats we love:

This cat has has appeared on different adaptations of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but the most iconic one is definitely the one from the original TV show. Snarky, cheeky, and extremely funny and relatable. He delivers iconic one-liners constantly, and I think we can all agree that he was the real star of the show.

Mr. Mistoffelees, a cat who was good at sleight-of-hand magic first appeared in T.S. Eliot’s book of poems Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. Later, this book inspired the musical Cats. So this cat is good at magic, singing, and dancing. Is there anything that he can’t do?
