I suppose we are going to have to come up with a name for the black cat. Mostly we’ve just been referring to her as “the black cat” or Blackie. Tricia has sometimes referred to her as “the demon” - actually a reference to a black cat she used to have years ago. So far she really does not have a name of her own, though. Nothing has come to mind yet.
She seems to be rather camera shy. When she saw me with it she ran off and hid behind the garden wall. As soon as I set it on the table inside the back door she showed herself again. Is she suspicious because of the sounds it makes? Does it sound like a weopon perhaps? Or does she believe that taking her picture will steal her soul?
I did get one photo of her earlier, behind the spider lilies.
The other cats are getting used to her and she doesn’t pay any attention to them at all. They were all out in the back yard tonight just before sundown. No altercations. Blackie mostly reclined in her chaise lounge and watched everything from afar. That seems to be her favorite place.

I was wondering if you could call the Black Cat another ‘gem’ type name as you have Sapphire. You could have a theme going. She won’t respond and get to know you until you start calling her something - nice though - not ‘demon’. Blackie is too obvious - like Snowy (white cats) or Sox for a black cat with white paws. What about Jasmine - ok - it’s not a ‘gem’ type name but it is pretty.
