Black cat on the cover and a key supporting character. (And a cute one, too.)
And the version of T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book" with the drawings by Edward Gorey (which *does*, after all, feature Macavity, the Mystery Cat; besides one of the cats on the cover is black, too -- looks to me like it's Bustopher Jones). ISBN: 9780156685689 (015668568X). There's also an audio version with the same cover, read by Sir John Gielgud and Irene Worth -- the ISBN of the audio cassette is 9780898458855 (0898458854); there's a CD, too, though, I think.
And the first omnibus volume of Lilian Jackson Braun's cat mysteries (books 1-3): ISBN 9780880297165 (0880297166)
And for German speakers, most of the German covers of Akif Pirincci's cat mysteries ("Felidae" et seq.) have black cats on the cover.
Btw, for Pirincci's cat mysteries you may want to add the very first one, "Felidae," which is the one true cult classic in the series and better known than all of the others combined. (Sorry, should have said that the first time around of course!) The ISBN is 9783442092987 (3442092981).
ISBN-13: 978-0380690961; ebook ASIN: B009S33L7E). The Kindle and Audible covers have black cats, as does the mass market paperback.
And Peter S. Beagle has a YA paranormal/ghost story with a black cat on the cover: 'Tamsin' (ebook ASIN: B008EXNM00; print ISBN-10: 0142401544
ISBN-13: 978-0142401545). There's a ghost cat, too.
