I wish I could properly express how it is that cats have beguiled me for so many decades, but I think it's something that people either get or they don't, like Star Wars or Lady Gaga. Roger Caras once likened having a kitten to sharing your home with an alien --- not sure why that analogy stuck with me for so long, but it's always held a ring of truth to me. Mostly, I'm knocked out that a creature who, in general, is twelve to fifteen times smaller than humans manages to trust us while remaining true to the essence of who they are as individuals.
Cats are more emotionally complex than most people believe them to be, more social than their stereotype and more amenable to the hectic schedule of a busy family than their canine counterparts. Oh, and they poop in a box, which is a heck of a lot more convenient than having to go walkies out in the rain or snow.

So Happy World Cat Day to you and yours, from my feline family:

None of whom are under the impression that Cat Day only takes place once a year.

Vicky -
So nice to meet you and your beautiful feline family. We wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments and our human Mom is convinced us kitties are far more complex than many a human folk she knows.
Everyday is cat day in our house too and we celebrate the love of all cats everywhere - both in the present and those as precious memories from the past.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words. Cats are worth every keystroke :)
We agree! Us cats are less maintenance than those woofies!!
Happy World Cat Day!
Less maintenance on the exercise/potty side, but the dog is much more willing to sleep in with me :)
