National CAT Day AND National Cat DADDY Day!!

 

Hi everyone!! As you can clearly see, it's me, Roary. 

I look pretty serious, don't I?

Well, I look serious because today there are TWO super special days tied into one!!! 

Today is National Cat Day AND National Cat Daddy Day!!

Ok, I know, EVERYDAY is National Cat Day, but let's just humor the rest of the world by honoring this day anyway.

National Cat Day is celebrated on October 29 every year! It was created by Colleen Paige to bring awareness to the number of cats that need to be rescued each year. In my opinion the number of cats that need to be rescued should be brought to everyone's attention EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, but they don't listen to me!

Thank you Ann of Zoolatry
for this great badge!

HAPPY NATIONAL CAT DADDY DAY DAD!!!

YOU ARE THE BEST!!

In my world it is only right that I celebrate BOTH days together! You see, Mom is the one who actually saw my adorable face online on Petfinder, but it was DAD who drove quite far away to a Petsmart that wasn't anywhere near our home at ALL to meet me FIRST. HUGE MISTAKE MOM!! (You see, Mom wimped out because she was afraid, she thought I wouldn't like her or Dad, so she sent Dad to check me out.). Well, the second Dad approached my cage I KNEW that HE was the one for me! I reached my paw out to him, looked even CUTER than I already am and that was IT!!  The next day Dad brought wimpy Mom out to meet me, I was adopted, and the REST IS HISTORY!!

DAD IS MY GUY!!

The second The Giant Sheltie retires for the night in his crate, I appear in the living room. I head straight over to WHEREVER Dad is sitting so I can snuggle with him. Dad doesn't feed me most of my meals and he doesn't scoop my litter much, (Mom does that, as she SHOULD), but I STILL LOVE MY DAD!!!

IT'S DAD WHO SEALED THE DEAL

 ON MY ADOPTION BY MEETING ME FIRST!!

I keep trying to find ways to get rid of Mom and the Giant Sheltie, I bring tiny toys out strategically hoping the Giant Sheltie will eat them and will be gone, but Mom always intercepts them before he even sees them!

I MUST COME UP WITH A NEW PLAN!!!

Any ideas? Leave me a comment and tell me!!

Love, Roary

(PEEEESSSSSS: Mom uses comment moderation on the blog, so if you don't see your comment right away don't worry! Mom is out watching the Lions lose on Sunday and will approve comments later today or tomorrow!!! Thank you!!)

WE KNOW SOME AMAZING CAT DADDIES IN THE BLOGOSPHERE AND WE WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY CAT DADDY DAY!!! 

If Pets Had Thumbs Day

FROM CAT CHAT WITH CAREN AND CODY: Another throwback!! This is from 2015 with some minor editing.

Hi all it's Cody! Well, it's Cody DICTATING this post to my incompetent human Mom. Which leads me to the point of this blog post.

As many of you know, today happens to be If Pets Had Thumbs Day, (or, in MY world, and for purposes of this post, it is If CATS Had Thumbs Day!)

No one seems to know the exact origin of this day (no surprise there, just add it to the ever-growing list of mindless holidays which in reality mean nothing, but hey, they are FUN, right?) So, without further pussyfooting around, just exactly WHAT would THIS cat do if he had thumbs?

Well, the obvious of course:

•  I could open my own bag of treats
• I could open my own containers of food
• I could turn the doorknob and escape to parts unknown
• I could grab my annoying woofie brother with BOTH paws and hold that giant, furry head between those paws...and.....squeeeezeeee......oh! Please excuse me I got carried away!
• I could take my OWN photos! They sure couldn't be any worse than Mom's!

• I could text with the speed of light and not only that, I could pilfer Mom's iPhone and make all sorts of crank phone calls! Does anyone even still do that?
• I could steal the keys to Mom and Dad's car and drive them around town, Mom drives a stick and I could shift that gear stick like there was no tomorrow!
• I could brush my own teeth
• I could play computer games the right way!!

Those are just a few things that I would do....but...I believe the MAIN thing I would do is COMPLETELY BAN MY MOM FROM WRITING ON THIS BLOG! It would be MINE, ALL MINE! I would be able to type to my heart's content, I could say what I want without fear of upsetting Mom. I would change all of the passwords on her social media accounts too!

 If we all band together, and if we ONLY had thumbs, we would take over the world!!!!!!!!!!



What do ya think kitties? Are you with me?

There seem to be a number of kitties who are in agreement, so much so in fact, that my buddy Austin has taken matters into his own paws and has created NUCAT (A UNION FOR CATS!)

Click to visit Austin's blog!

Let me tell ya, I don't wear a collar, but if I did, you can bet your sweet tail my collar color would be BLUE ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!

Austin and many other cats, including myself, are up to our ears with the incompetence of our "Affiliate Typists", aka, humans, 2-leggers, Moms, Dads, whatever you wanna call them, and we are not going to take it anymore!!!

In Austins Words:

The time has come for cats to show

That we should not go with the flow.

We'll gather as one to tell the human,

That we are starting a CAT'S UNION!

We'll call it the N.U.C.A.T.

And all can join voluntarily.

All for one and one for all,

Let's fight the fight and stand up tall.

There you have it my furiends!!! Won't you join us in the fight to stand up for our rights against these hapless affiliate typists that CLAIM that they have our best interests at heart? If so, head on over to Austin's blog and grab your badge today!!!! If we all band together, and if we ONLY had thumbs, we would take over the world!!!!!!!!!!

 What do ya think kitties? Are you with Austin and the rest of us? 
Let's take back our blogs!!! Love, Cody
