World Cat Day – A Day of Gratefulness for This Cat Guardian

WORLD

Thanks Peanut! You tell ’em!

Being the consummate cat lady, it almost seems inconceivable that I would not remember World Cat Day is August 8th. But alas, were it not for a kind email reminder from Ann Adamus of Zoolatry, I indeed would have forgotten.

Thankfully, as long as I provide my cats with food, shelter, clean litter, toys, water, veterinary check-ups (my request, not theirs), and lots and lots of love, hugs, and snuggles, which I do to infinity and back, they don’t care that I almost forgot. They already know they rule the world 365 days a year, 24/7. So rather than concentrate on today being World Cat Day, which is a redundant phrase, I prefer to use the day to reflect on the fact that my cats mean the world to me.

Without them, my life would not be complete and I am forever grateful for the endless joy they bring me. Each of my cats – those that are with me now and those that reside at the Rainbow Bridge – each and every one of them has brightened my world with their wonderfully unique personalities. Face it cats, you all had me at meow.

Something I say each and every time I see one of my cats! You had me at meow, kitty, you had me at meow!

Happy World Cat Day all – have a great weekend and how is it in your house – do your cats already rule the world?

As a side note, for those of you that may have missed Wednesday’s post, I want to let you know of an upcoming event I have planned for August 28th that I hope you will participate in. I am doing it on behalf of Purr Prints of the Heart in tribute to the loss of my Mr. Jazz and am calling it β€œRainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.” I am hoping it will become an annual event as a means for all of us to remember those precious pets in our lives that have gone on the Rainbow Bridge. I will be putting together a blog hop for that day and will also be creating a special event day on Facebook and Google+ for people to participate in. For full details about how and why I have decided to create this day and for more information on how you can participate, please click here to read Wednesday’s post.Coming-Soon

    It’s hard to keep up with all of these “holidays!” Happy World Cat Day to all of you.

  5. Carmine and Milita rule the house, and they know it. πŸ™‚ They’ve trained me well. Jewel had me so well trained that when she’d come up behind me and raow, I’d drop everything I was doing and feed her.

    Your kitties are lucky to have found such a loving mom. I’m sure they appreciate you every day.

    I’m a little late visiting but it doesn’t matter because every day is World Cat Day. This is a very nice post! I saw a poster recently that said, “I came, I purred, I conquered.” I can relate to that!

    I’m with you: Every day is a day to celebrate my cats. If I restricted their celebrations to just one day…. Well, I’d have some explaining to do!
