A cat’s coat color has its own meaning. Black is linked with protection, white with clarity, orange with joy, grey with balance and tortoiseshell with bold independence. A cat pendant necklace is a simple way to keep that meaning close, whether it reflects your own cat, a cat who once visited you or a quality you want to invite into your life. Here is what each color represents and how to choose the right cat necklace for you or someone you love.
