Black Cat, Jersey City

Domestic Cat (Felis catus) Solid black coats come from a recessive allele in the agouti gene — only about one in twenty-two cats carries the all-black look. Free-roaming and feral cats are year-round residents throughout Jersey City, often found near restaurants and waterfronts. Wikipedia | iNaturalist
