There is no doubt a lot of serious stuff when it comes to cats – cat overpopulation on the streets and in the shelters is a subject we have been trying to tackle for months now and there is still a long way to go before the problem is solved. But, sometimes we need a break from all that heavy stuff, just to talk about cats being cats…. or what I called in Chapter 22 of my book, “Cattitude & Cattisms.”  This chapter was so much fun for me to write, because it is all about the universally wonderful personality traits, habits, quirks, and mannerisms that our cats possess to one degree or another to let us humans know we are NOT in charge.

Well, it’s hereby been officially decreed by our cat Rolz, that March 17th is forever more going to be called St. CAT-rick’s Day!! Whoo hoo! He is so excited in his own bored and aloof way to let you all know that his photo won first place over at his pal Brian’s blog for the “2012 Nimbus Memorial St. Patrick’s Day Photo Contest.”

Rolz won’t admit it, but I will. ALL of the photos were AMAZING and every one of them was a winner to me. We are thrilled too, that our good kitty pals Cody and Sammy & Moosey placed! Plus, just the fact that you’re a cat, makes you all even more special to me! Thanks for the votes every one and Happy St. Pat, opps, I mean, Happy St. CAT-rick’s Day!!!

By nature, Rolz is about the laziest cat on the Planet. Garfield is his hero and an occasional bout of bullying his sisters, Mia and Peanut, or the elder cats, Jazz and Harley, is the extent of his exertion. So, you can only imagine his joy at the opportunity to laze in front of the TV all day long for the Super Bowl! There is the early morning pre-game to the afternoon pre-game to the pre-game, pre-game! Then, it’s all the snacks and goodies that magically appear all day long!! What’s a kitty to do but to grab the remote and claim his spot on the couch for an all day meowathon of feline football, Cat-donna, and crazy commercials! Plus, he has the ideal excuse to be lazy… his brother Zeuss lives in Boston, so it would be very rude if he did not root for the Patriots!!
