Some Words from Your International Cat Day Spokescat/Model

Hola kitties! I'm here to talk about International Cat Day which falls on August 8 cos I'm a CAT and thanks to Ann, I'm the CB spokescat for this day. We all know that every single day is Cat Day so why is August 8 special?

Some Words from Your Int'l Cat Day Spokescat/Model

According to Days of the Year, the original festivities for International Cat Day were put together for the first time in 2002 by IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Along with other animal rights groups who joined in to celebrate, this was declared to be the day to appreciate and honor one of the most popular pets on the planet.

Some of the ways to celebrate are to volunteer at a cat shelter, make donations to cat charities, wear cat-themed clothing, visit a cat café, adopt a cat and my favorite spoil your cat rotten by buying her or him a new bed, toy, cat tree, scratcher or premium gourmet food. You could also order some special food from your favorite restaurant and share it with me your cat.

Friendly Fill-ins

Now it's time for Friendly Fill-Ins, a weekly feature held at this time, which is already in progress. Our hosts—15andmeowing and Four Legged Furballs—need no innerductions as they are giants in the cat blogging world. They think up the fill-ins and I fill in the answers. My answers are boldface. This week my image relates to numbers one and two.

Some Words from Your Int'l Cat Day Spokescat/Model

1. The highlight of my summer so far has been sleeping. Yeah, that's what I've spent this summer doing.

2. August is a good time to sleep. TW agrees since all the Christmas in July and Prime sales are finished.

3. Biting often gets me into trouble. I think I would have disappointed my fans if I didn't say that.

4. I see spotted lantern flies every time I look out the window. They have pretty red and black spots but an invasive species and are at least an inch long. Our town is infested with them. They fly up to the 4th floor and sit on the screens. Of course, I don't pretend to go after them. I'm retired. TW will occasionally open the window and shoot them full of a vinegar and dish soap mixture.

Caturday art

Looks like TW got me a new box for International Cat Day and it fits just fine. So fine, I painted a picture to commemorate it so I'll always remember how cheap she was.

Caturday Art is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to showcase how talented us anipal artists are. We can use the many different digital apps, Photoshop or share original art.

What could be more internationally cat-like than "helping" your human make the bed?

I'm sure you'll get treats for this if only to say they don't want your help. I didn't but I got to stay as long as I wanted.

Pop bought new sheets that we once read about from our friend Patty's blog Book's, Cooks, Looks. Thanks, Patty, he loves the sheets even though the ones you wrote about aren't available anymore.

Would you like to comment?

  6. Dearest CK, I am appalled and disappointed that my Mom did NOT help me post this week and we missed such an impawtant holiday! AND to make it worse, I did NOT get the opportunity to post you glorious badge! Know that my Mom will be getting a couple of judicious Marv bites! (I promise not to break the skin though). CK your art and photos ar totally fabulishious! That painting of you in a box--lushious! I can't wait to do the puzzle. And your fill-ins are spot on. We had those horrid bugs last summer! YUCK! Oh! I have a new habit, for the last 3 nights I have left a shew in the doorway of Mom's bedroom (she stepped on the first one). I am a tad disappointed that she does not eat them, but tosses them outside. They are extremely tasty. Purrhaps I should send one through the tunnel for you when the tunnel comes back out. Mom has been "busy" painting the living room in anticipation of the new floor...but she is so furry slow! She moans alot about her hip and climbing ladders...Koz says she has taken a week to do what she used to do in 2 days! Whisker Kisses (Your #1 Fan Boy) Marv

  10. You are a purrfect spokescat for International Cat Day! That's a nice box, you should thank TW by giving her a bite or two. You should ask for retroactive treats for when you "helped" Pop change the sheets!

  13. You know, CK…I’m with you. I’ve been doing lots of sleeping this summer too. It’s been so hot, the windows aren’t open because the cold air blowing thing is on so there’s not much to do but sleep. ~Ernie
