This kinda determines their age. If they're about 3-5 days old, the blackness means that their body is ridding of a certain fluid that they have in their bodies while in the womb. This is good though. But if a cat is older, the coloration could be caused by their food. You should try using a variety of cat foods, each for about a week, and see if your cats stool returns to normal. This may also mean that your cat is ill, and if these methods above fail, consult a vet.

It can be an illness the cat has or it might be the type of food it is on. If the cat seems healthy in every other way I would try experimenting with different types of food before seeking a vets help
