This is the first issue where there are no featured
photographers but a featured subject, in this case, the black
cat.
I guess no other animal has been the subject of so many
myths throughout history as the black cat. Hunted at
times when witchcraft ruled the fears of man and when
by association to witches they were the symbols of
misfortune and represented the devil himself. Loved and
even worshipped at other times, from ancient Egyptians tomodern sailors, the black cat has also been symbol of luck
and good fortune to many people.

Their mysterious look and enigmatic attitude is
to some a door to the unknown, a transcending
reality, and people fear what they cannot
comprehend. To others, they are a reflection of our
own soul, a bond between kindred spirits. Theychannel our fears and our deepest sentiments in
ways that no other animal can.

Cats are generally very different from each other, a
consequence of their strong personality. This feature also
distinguishes them from the normal animal that people
have in their homes as pets, as they do not answer to
callings and are, most of the time, lost in their own thoughts.
One has to understand the nature of a cat, in order to
comprehend how to interact and get the most of a relation
with such a feline.
They say that you dont own a cat, you share a house with
one.

Im currently living in Amsterdam and for those who know this city know that its very
cat friendly. You see them all the time and everywhere, on the street jumping on
top of a car, in someones backyard elegantly crossing a fence or walking on a roof.
You see them in restaurants and all the bars, where they are owners and kings.
Not only you see them everywhere you can walk up to them without having them
running away from you and play with them for as long as you... they want.
It still amazes me how nice it is to gain the trust of a cat, to have him come to youand win him over with some cuddling in the right spots. The fragility of the moment
makes it even more special.

I once had such a bond with a black cat myself. A true manifestation of a friendship
and loyalty that went beyond time and space.
I was about 12 years old when my father brought him home, after finding him lost
in front of the door of the hotel where he worked. I now realise how much that
moment changed my live, how it made me connect with another entity on a totally
different level, even if it was just a cat. Only another shy, introverted, stuttering kidwould truly understand what it felt like to have grow up with such a friend. One to
whom I could talk and genuinely express myself.

Maybe it was the way he looked at me, or how he would come and sit next to
me when I was in my lowest, either way I always thought he could understand me
and with him I learned some of my most valuable lessons. Friendship is not given,
earned or conquered... It is unconditional.

Together we moved around quite a bit and traveled across the country while I
was studying up north. He was always there, his presence noticed at all times.
Either hosting guests in our parties or simply keeping me company on top of
my drawing table with the occasional roll for the scheduled cuddle.
When you are studying, long are the working nights, either finishing a
presentation or just arguing about theories and other deep thoughts. In all that
time he would never leave us alone to go to sleep. Sometimes he was even
falling asleep right in front of us, closing his eyes slowly and nudging his head,but he wouldnt go until we were ready to call it a night. It always amazed me
to see how much a cat can be loyal to you by sharing the long hours.
His name was Becas, after that Sesame Street character, as he had that
same funny crazy look at times. When I moved to Amsterdam he had already
retired to my parents house and although I wanted to bring him with me, my
circumstances did not allowed it. I guess I always though I could bring him back
one day.
He was around 20 years old when he died a couple months ago. Becas loyalty
and his unconditional friendship will truly be missed!
