Hi Suze!: Are you absolutely sure you want a black cat (Obamacat). Remember, it gets bitter cold out the in the Midwest winter. Same in New England. I have a friend here who thus wears a Raggedy Cat draped around his shoulders. Nicer and warmer than a scarf. Also a friend who sleeps with a Maine Coon Cat.
Personally I think it would be a fine catalyst to a happy marriage.
