Darker Than The Night - This Adorable Pitch Black Cat Looks Like a Walking Shadow With Eyes
For some reason, black cats have a bad reputation. But one dark-furred feline in Daejeon, South Korea, is proving them wrong.
Meet MeonJi, a 4-year-old Scottish fold cat that has captured the hearts of people all over the world. And we can understand why.
He's perfected the art of camouflage thanks to his black fur. He has the ability to blend into dark environments, allowing his owners to only see his large, bright eyes, which appear to be floating in midair.
MeonJi (meaning "dust" in Korean) is described by MeonJi's mother, Kim Aerin, as "the blackest but brightest cat." MeonJi may appear demure, hiding in his cat bed or disappearing into the shadows, yet his quirky personality bursts through every day.
"I'm not going to lie, I wasn't originally interested in black cats," Aerin admits, "but as soon as I met my cat, I was immediately enamored with black cats." "If you asked me right now, I'd say they're the best!"
MeonJi currently has more than 356K followers on Instagram, which is unsurprising. From chewing on salad greens to hiding in the washing machine, his beautiful images show his funny antics.
This cat really looks like a pair of floating eyes. Let's get to know him better (if we can find him):

MeonJi is unquestionably cute, in addition to having a hilarious demeanor. The wonderfully silly black cat has been compared to Toothless, the Night Fury dragon from the How To Train Your Dragon franchise, because of his large eyes and shiny fangs.
MeonJi's pupils widen when he's happy, which is pretty much all of the time, just like the beloved cartoon dragon.
