"The Black Cat" is a chilling short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator begins by describing his love for animals, especially cats. However, as he succumbs to alcoholism, his behavior becomes increasingly violent and erratic. The story takes a dark turn when the narrator harms and ultimately kills his beloved black cat, Pluto. The cat's death sets off a series of horrifying events, revealing the narrator's descent into madness and moral decay. The eerie tale explores themes of guilt, remorse, and the consequences of unchecked malevolence, making it a classic example of Poe's mastery of psychological horror.
