Straw Hat Wednesday!


Oh Bast, I hope this doesn't look goofy on me ... what do ya'll think?

I think it's a little small, don't you? 

I hope my head hasn't gotten too big ...

Anyway, it's National Straw Hat Day today.  Seems  hoomans feel a need to have a holiday or special day for everything, don't they?  And the weirder, the better, it seems. 

This observation got MomKatt & I to exploring.  Did you know there was a:

Mother Goose Day (always on May 1, apparently)

Take It In the Ear Day (Dec 8 - we're not making this stuff up!)

National Ding-A-Ling Day (Dec 12 - obviously there are a LOT of people that qualify to celebrate THIS particular weird holiday)

Play God Day (Jan 9 - is this for doctors?  MOL)

National Trail Mix Day (Aug 31)

Rat Catchers' Day (July 22 - after all, rat catchers need love, too)

Yesterday, May 14, was Chicken Dance Day.  (Gee, sorry we missed THAT one!  Maybe the San Diego Chicken celebrated in some Fred Astaire-type way.)

And Feb 23 is National Sword Swallower's Day!

For us cat-lovers, Aug 15 is Lion Day, Feb 20 is Love Your Pet Day (shouldn't that be EVERY day?), Dec 15 is Cat Herder's Day,  Oct 29 is National Cat Day, June 4 is Hug Your Cat Day,  and Jan 22 is the one *I* purr-sonally like:  it is "Answer Your Cat's Questions Day"!

Who knew?!

But the two that are, of course, closest to my heart are National Black Cat Day (in the UK), Oct. 25, and Black Cat Appreciation Day, Aug 17. 

My goodness, what will those whacky two-leggers think of next?  There truly DOES seem to be a day/holiday to celebrate just about ANYthing!

And of course, who needs some "special" day to celebrate us kitties of any origin, color or breed?  We're special 365 days a year!

Can't wait to see everypurr's hats today!  I think mine needs re-blocking ...

Purrz!
Selina

    Rat Catchers' Day is the day after my human's birthday. Too bad we don't have any rats around here - it would make a good birthday gift, don't you think?

A Journey - Selina Carter, April 9, 2011 - March 6, 2024

Dearest Furrends: My scribe is typing this entry with a truly heavy heart. Yesterday, I made my journey to The Rainbow Bridge. My doctor, Dr. Daniel, told me in November 2023 that I had something called a "mass" that she could feel when she did something she called "palpating" my underside during my annual well-kitty exam. It didn't hurt - it just felt like she was squeezing me a little. She told Mom&DadKatt, who were there with me (of course) and suggested several options. They decided to start giving me a medicine called prednisone (I called it YUCK ). Dr. D said it would really boost my appetite. Boy, did it! See, MomKatt noticed I'd lost a fair amount of weight in a couple of months prior and she knew something was wrong. I've always been a big (not fat, just big) beautiful one-eyed thang, as y'all know, so this wasn't normal. It's that MomKatt radar - I know all of y'alls pawrents have it. That's why she scooped me up that da

Hi peeps! Yes, it's me! Back again after a little over a year. I've missed you all and hope some of you at least are still hanging in there with me. My friend Summer's blog is having traffic troubles. I hear in the blog community that this is happening with other cat bloggers, too. So I thought I'd better try mine out, because MK and I were worried that the link was no longer in service. If there's anyone out there that still subscribes, please let us know if you can comment. MK's been thinking about reviving my blog because we DID enjoy posting my adventures for you all to experience and learn about! But we got slack (ahem, MK got slack. I've been here all along and would have been updating had I had AN OPPOSABLE THUMB! Why can't we get THOSE on Amazon????) All the kits here are well, but last week we were told Boudicca was diabetic. MK and DK are trying the food change route first, before they decide whether to do insulin injections. DK can&#

Bag Day!

Meowlo, Peeps! Today is Bag Day and Keaton is demonstrating some of the many different things he can do with an ordinary paper sack from the grocery store. He claims it's environmentally responsible, as he's upcycling a natural resource. Do you buy that? Whatever ...  Anyway, here he is.  As you might notice, he enjoys a variety of bags from different places (i.e. he has no taste and will take ANYTHING that comes along.)  This one is from Lowe's Foods grocery store.    This one is from Jersey Mike's subs. We all loved that one because it smelled soooooo good but he wormed his under it and none of us could get in.       We never got into it and in the end, it's cool because MomKatt got a hilarious photo out of it! (We have NO clue what he's doing in there.  Doesn't he have a great butt, though??)   Uh oh ... bag change! He's got the one MomKatt stole from Ed McKay's used bookstore!    At least he can't tear that one up ...    Or can he?  I don'
