Recently we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to send us in their best photos of their black-and-white cats to show us why they're so great.
We had HUNDREDS of responses so we couldn't possibly include them all, but we think you'll agree these prove they're the best kind of cats. Here are just some of the lovely photos that were sent in...
