It’s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy’s blog!<\/p>\n

Ziggy here. Zorro and I have a new cousin! Mommy and Aunt Kim\u2019s brother adopted a kitten. His name is Zach, and he\u2019s solid black, just like Zorro and me and our cousin Blackie. This is him. He looks like a much smaller version of me, doesn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now there are a total of five cats in our family, and four of them are black. Our cousin Kassie is the oddball. She\u2019s a calico, which means she has a white tummy and orange and black on the rest of her. \u00a0She likes to help her mommy work, just like Zorro and I do. She\u2019s pretty cute, isn\u2019t she?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something interesting about calico cats is that almost all of them are females. Mommy has a really complicated explanation for why that is, but it doesn\u2019t make any sense to me. I just know that Zorro and I and our two other cousins couldn\u2019t have been born calico cats, because we\u2019re all boys.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of places where people think calico cats are good luck. One of those places is Japan. In fact, Japanese sailors used to have a calico ship\u2019s cat to protect against misfortune at sea.<\/p>\n

Hmm, people think having Kassie around would bring them good luck, but that Zorro, Blackie, Zach and I would be bad luck. That doesn\u2019t seem fair, does it? I think all us black cats are getting a bad rap.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just glad that Mommy and Aunt Kim and Uncle Keith don\u2019t feel that way. They think that black cats are special. But they would love us a lot, no matter what color we are.<\/p>\n
