It's Black Cat Appreciation Day!

5. The late great Morpheus

He was a street cat that liked to hang out around our house. Our neighbors down the street had him fixed, but he wasn't their cat either. They called him Jimi Hendrix. He had this froggy sounding meow that was something like Edward G Robinson or James Cagney saying 'yeah'. He disappeared a couple of years ago and many months later our neighbors on the next block told us he had been hit by a car. We all wanted to take him in, but he would not stay in anyone's home. He was as friendly as could be though.
