I remember two episodes with black cats in them.  One was the episode
with Gary-7.  This is the one where the Enterprise is time traveling
back to observe late 20th century earth history.  They intercept Gary-7
beaming to earth along with a companion who is a black cat.  Gary treats
the cat as an equal (superior) and there are little hints all through
the show that it is not really a cat.  Gary's mission is to sabatoge the
first space based atomic weapon, putting a little scare into the 20th
century leaders.

The other episode, the one I think the still shown at the end of the
shows is taken from,  involves a man(?) and a woman(?) who are invading
our galaxy.  In the end they turn out to look like little baby birds
but at one point the female takes the form of an 8ft tall black house
cat and goes hunting for Kirk and Spock.  Kirk smashes the magic wand
just in time, causing the invaders to revert to their natural form.
(Maybe you can tell this was not one of my favorite episodes.)
