Black Cats, Women and Femmes

Hello,

Thank you for volunteering to take this survey! I am a mama of three black cats and completing my undergrad in Gender and Women's Studies at York University. I am writing about the connection women and femmes have with black cats. This is very fun to write and I appreciate your help! The last question will ask for your name: you can enter it if you are OK with me using it, or you can remain anonymous. I will also ask for your e-mail, only if you would like a copy of the paper once it is finished. Thanks again, and have a purrfect day!
