Gato Negro (Spanish for "black cat") is 7 Year Bitch's final album and their only full-length to appear on a major label (Atlantic Records).

The record spawned three singles: "The History of My Future", "24,900 Miles Per Hour" and "Miss Understood" as well as a video for "24,900 Miles Per Hour".

Although the band had a bigger fan base than ever, Gato Negro failed to generate the sales Atlantic Records had hoped, eventually leading to their dismissal from the label.
