What is a Black Cat girlfriend? And are you one?

A black cat girlfriend is a partner whose personality mirrors the perceived traits of a black cat: independent, mysterious, reserved, and selectively affectionate, though fiercely loyal and loving once trust is earned. 

This term originated on TikTok as part of the "black cat/golden retriever dating theory," contrasting with a "golden retriever boyfriend" who is bubbly and eager to please. 

The black cat girlfriend is self-sufficient, values alone time, and chooses where to invest her energy, rather than waiting to be chosen or fill a void.  

Here are her key characteristics to help you determine if you're a Black Cat girlfriend or if you have one.


Independent & Reserved 

She has her own life and doesn't rely on a partner for happiness or to fill a void. 


Mysterious & Aloof 

She may come across as distant or intimidating at first, but this often stems from being reserved or protective, not from being mean. 


Selectively Affectionate

She's not giving her affection to just anyone; it must be earned. 


Fiercely Loyal & Protective 

Once her trust is gained, she is incredibly devoted and will protect the people she loves. 


Confident

She knows her worth and doesn't need to seek validation or constantly perform for a partner.
