Today is International Cat Day! Cats are lucky, they have two Days, the other one being October 29th.

For Fortitude it was a day like any other; sleeping, resting, eating, and chasing a small ball of tinfoil.

I strongly suspect that cats think that every day is Cat Day.

I think you are right there thorny! Our Agatha (or to phrase it more correctly, Agatha whose humans we are) turned 20 last September, but she is still completely certain that she is ‘Monarch of all she surveys’. Eh, she’s a cat.

Maybe, but how many of those strongly location-bound animals could and would consider themselves international cats?  :P

I also suspect that cats do not recognize human borders.

They recognize feline borders, of course. But those are by household/clowder (and sometimes by divisions within those); nothing to do with nations.

Tonight (in my time zone, anyway) brings Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.  May all have a sweet new year. 

(Cheating: the moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival on 29 Sept are already in the shops here, so perhaps a round sweet moon cake will substitute for the round sweet challah for my daughter this year!)

Everyone in the USA, and everyone elsewhere who may be celebrating it anyway: Merry Thanksgiving!

May all of your bellies be full, and all of your families whether given or chosen be happily connected.

Hey everybody, that time of year has come around again, when we all check up on the live feed of the Gävle Goat!

Actually, I came just in time, because right this second they are in the end stages of erecting the goat!  Will it last again this year?

Uh oh, speaking of the Goat, there is a novel method of destroying it this year: as I write this, a flock of crows are merrily tearing into its straw body, making nests and finding bits of the grain left on the straw...


pssss, also Happy Hanukkah for those who celebrate!
