Yeah I don't understand it either. Just very hard for male cats to get adopted in general. Black cats as well because people are superstitious that they are bad luck. I've had 3 black cats who were all amazing and I think very good luck. I was there to look at some kittens and he was just too cute to pass up! He was super shy and used to hide from people when I brought him home. Now he is up in everyone's business all the time. He will be 7 on Star Wars Day, May 4th.
Aha. Does that explain the origin of his name?

I love black cats, too. Don't own one right now, but have in the past. My dog is black though, lol!!

My cat was a stray for about a year so I think that is where she gets her fear of people. I literally have to carry her into every room of the house after people leave to "prove" to her no one is hiding out before she will stay inside. Except this one time, when a friend showed up and the cat was already inside and she ran under the chair to hide, so I told the friend the cat would never come out as long as she was there. Friend said good, she's not a cat person anyway.

Out comes the cat all la-ti-da and rubbing up against her. My friend said, "Further proof that animals actually do understand English."

Yes. He is actually a registered Persian with a silly long real name on his papers that I won't repeat due to the breeder being shut down for horrible treatment of the animals. That is how he ended up in a shelter. He was nicknamed Yoda due to his birth date I was told. It fits him perfectly with some of his squinty looks.

That was neat. Thanks to whoever gave back their Remesh. I think that was the second one I've done and it's sort of interesting and nice pay.

I remember part of this now (him being registered). I'm so glad you rescued him and he is our forum mascot!

I.ve got about 10 rejects in my turking career for that reason or they screwed up their survey, never have been overturned.
I've been in a back and forth with a "researcher" via email for the same reason. So full of himself, i didnt even open the last email, just deleted the thread. Couldn't take the smugness, like I was so lowly for being an mturk worker and should appreciate any opportunity for the money even though they rejected me on their fuck up....
