To be honest… I don’t remember when I read this or if I found it interesting, I know that I did read it and I had a book of short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, but I have moved a lot and my books are spread around various homes. I miss my books.
Anyway, let’s go read the description and perhaps some highlights from this story.

The Black Cat Description
In Edgar Allan Poe’s chilling tale “The Black Cat,” a once gentle and kind-hearted man descends into madness and violence. Plagued by alcoholism, he begins to mistreat his beloved pet cat, Pluto, leading to a series of horrific events. As his sense of guilt and paranoia grow, the narrator’s actions become increasingly erratic and malevolent, culminating in a brutal crime that seals his fate. This dark story delves into themes of cruelty, guilt, and the psychological effects of sin.
Yeah, I don’t remember. I do but not this whole thing, it was over ten years ago when I read it.
Highlights of The Black Cat
More like some quotes from this short story.
Pluto โ this was the catโs name โ was my favorite pet and playmate. I alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could prevent him from following me through the streets.
It was now, I say, the image of a hideous โ of a ghastly thing โ of the GALLOWS! โ oh, mournful and terrible engine of Horror and of Crime โ of Agony and of Death!
Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman.
