Do Not Generalize All Black Cats

Are you a Halloween cat? I queried the preening feline. Don’t generalize all black cats she said with a sniff and a whine. I was shocked because surely she knew about the teeny witches. Who were holding up her ears on broomsticks with snitches. But I thought, I began to say, apologizing for stereotyping. She began to laugh then, saying “I was only snipping.” I was not laughing though, for I did not know her at all. Of course, I will certainly avoid her when I see her next fall.
