What does "void" mean in pet owner slang?

The structure is a simple noun borrowed from the astronomical term for empty space, used metaphorically to describe a black cat's appearance as a featureless dark shape, especially in low light. It is used to describe a black cat, often humorously or affectionately, emphasizing how they can blend into shadows, furniture, or dark corners until only their eyes are visible. People typically say "my little void" or "the void stares back" when sharing photos of black cats camouflaged against dark backgrounds.
