Happy Independence Day everyone!
Nikita here!
I know that many among Felinity Assembled have spent many hours in hiding, the last few days, as the Humans fire off their fireworks, guns, bazookas, artillery, and phasers, in celebration of this holiday, but I'm here to tell you that we have as much reason to celebrate as they do, even if we don't feel the need to arm ourselves to do so. :-D
How much American History do you know? What about your Human?
Are you sure you know even all the most important names, dates, and events?
Before I hand things over to Elvira for the Carnival, I'm here to edumicate you! :-D
Do you, dear Kitties, know your rights?
Ever hear of the First & a 1/2 Amendment to the Constitution?
Or that a Cat had a hand in the use of a word in the Declaration of Independence?
I thought not. :-D
Just ONE Important Reason Felinity Assembled Has to Celebrate the 4th of July
Everyone is familiar with the ride of Paul Revere, but few know that there were other activities afoot that night, just as important for the future of this nation as what he did.

OK, time for the Carnival!
Carnival of the Cats is a weekly roundup of Cat-related posts on weblogs, in America, and around the world, who choose to submit a post for inclusion.
For us Cat Bloggers the Carnival is a chance to discover blogs we might never have heard of, on subjects of all kinds!
The Carnival Home Page, with an archive of past Carnivals, the Line-up for 2011, FAQ'S, and more, is HERE.
Hello, everyone, Elvira here!
Ain't Nikita smart? He knows sooo much! I love learning from him! :-D
Let's get to the Carnival....
1. Over at Lost in the Cheese Ailse...Hakuna is checking out the view!
Nikita told me she was sitting on a Perch, but I don't see any Fishies, do you? :-D
2 & 3. Over at Life From a Cat's Perspective...The gang takes up Boxing, and celebrates the 4th. :-D
4. Over at Catsparella...The great lady "Talks Cat" with Sparklecats Human on the set of a Fancy Feast commercial in Los Angeles!
The pictures are cool, and so is the story of the making of the commercial, and meeting the Fancy Feast Cats, and their Handler!
5. Over at CatSynth...Take a look at a very busy Luna. :-D
6. Over at StrangeRanger...It's a celebration of The Maine Coon, the original American longhair breed, and of Maddie.
Being part Maine Coon Nikita likes this post very much. :-D
7. Over at Cats of Wildcat Woods...A Cat & some Patriotic Posing...what's not to like? :-D
8 & 9. Over at Meezer Tails...Miles writes about some of his favorite things, and about his Fashon Sense. :-D
10. Over at Jan's Funny Farm...The Cats wanted to celebrate the 4th, but none of them are named Sam...only the Dog....so "Uncle" Sam dressed up, and spoke on behalf of everyone.
Whatever works! :-D
11 - 13. Over at Mind of Mog...Mamma Ritzi, Wayward Sone Meowza, and a Spot...Ritzi wants a bellyrub, but Mog has other ideas...Meowza relaxing.
And, lastly, here on Meowsings...we celebrated Daddy Kiril going from a Cast to an Ankle Brace...but Nikita also talked about how it looks pretty certain Daddy will not be able to attend the BlogPaws Convention in August, and why.
14. Dancing With Daddy Kiril: Good-Bye Cast, Hello Brace! (See Daddy dance! Sort of...hee, hee!)
Hope you're all having a purrfect 4th of July!!! :)
