Masters of Horror. The plot essentially retells the short story in a semi-autobiographical manner, with Poe himself undergoing a series of events involving a black cat which he used to inspire the story of the same name. In 2012, Big Fish Games released a point and click mystery game loosely based on the story called Edgar Allan Poe's The Black Cat: Dark TalesIn 2011, Hyper Aware Theater Company produced "The Black Cat", one of several Poe stage adaptations written by Lance Tait, as part of its “Gutterdrunk: The Poe Revisions” in New York City. Ava Caridad has written that in this stage adaptation the “unreliable narrator [has been changed] from male to female”... and this narrator has been split “into two separate characters representing one person.” The 2020 Ahoy Comics comic book Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood'' #1 includes a pastiche of the story by Paul Cornell and Russell Braun under the title "The Black Cat Dog". As the title suggests, the cat is replaced by a dog, who also narrates the story. However, he refuses to see his master in a bad light and is utterly unaware of the man's hatred or guilt.
