Good morning! Elvira Mistress of Felinity, here.
Today is a day for felinity assembled, the world over, to celebrate ourselves!
It is World Cat Day!
The day was founded in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and other animal rights groups.
IFAW has a page, with a 4 page document, that explains their approach to dog and cat issues: IFAW‘s Approach to Dog and Cat Issues
In honor of the day I came up with 4 ways that humans look at cats!
2. Cats are like vacuum cleaners; if you don't stop them they are good for sucking up unsightly stuff on the floor such as food scraps and milk spills, as well as controlling bug infestations.
3. Cats are like news reporters; When they discover something that really, really interests them, they keep investigating until satisfied they have learned all they can, or they get bored and move on to something else that catches their attention.
4. Well, duh, cats are, like, soooo cute, totally cuddly, way smart and, you know, clean and like when Sarah said she wanted a Siamese I, like, soooo, like, looked at her and said whatever.
As for celebrating ourselves, Nikita and I want to encourage readers, old and new, to check out our archive categories, especially these nine:
