IT'S NATIONAL CAT DAY

Yah, today-Wednesday.

I got a message from the GrandGato and was told to share it with you people who seemingly liked cats:

And here's a video of a cat celebrating with all the glee he can muster:

Watching the humans there is as much fun as seeing the kittehs themselves.

I've been going to most of those shows since I was about 8. This will be the first year I'm going since losing my Tabby.

Ziggy has no clue (about anything - derp).



Sebastian says every day is National Cat Day so what's the big fuss?

The current cat occupant is the most interesting. She is fascinated by water. She licks the shower door. She licks the condensation on an ice cold drink. She has an always full water dish, but she will stick her face into your water glass that is sitting on the coffee table. She is also quite vocal. I have figured out many of her vocalizations such as, "what the hell, I was here first!" when I move her from my chair to "here I am, I am available for your worship."

I am sure many of you have read the dog vs. cat diary, but here it is again:

The Cat's Diary

Day 983 of My Captivity

    My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

    The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!

    There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

    Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

     I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...
