It’s finally October! And while you and your cat are snuggling up together to keep warm as the weather gets colder and the nights get spookier, it’s a perfect time to flip on the TV for some cat-friendly and Halloween-themed movies and shows. You may be heading over to Netflix to check out last year’s new series, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but let’s not forget the original 1996 version of the series, Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
The original show ran for seven seasons spanning the late 90s and early 2000s, and by far the funniest character was Salem, Sabrina’s magical talking black cat. Salem is not only a fan-favorite and current internet meme, but he also is the only character, besides Sabrina herself, to appear in every single episode.
Since October is Black Cat Awareness Month, to celebrate one of our all-time favorite black cats, here is a list of funny moments with Salem that you can relate to:

In addition to practicing self-love, remember to love and care for your black kitties this Halloween season. Black cats have lower adoption rates from shelters year-round and due to their ties with superstition and satanic cults, many black cats will be harmed or killed during Halloween and the month surrounding it. If you are looking to adopt a cat, consider adopting a black one and, if you do own a black cat, be sure to keep it indoors especially during the Halloween season.
