Black Cat Day!

As a tuxedo, mostly black and part white, I am thrilled that there is a National Black Cat Day. And it is TODAY! 🐱

Even CNN wanted to tell readers about this phenomenal day. Read their take here.

Black cats and Halloween go hand-in-treatbag! Black cats became associated with witchcraft since it was a common belief that witches would disguise themselves as black cats. Some people say that many witches were burned at the stake alongside their cat. 😿 Which we do NOT want to believe. That is awful to think about. 😿

We know it is not true that black cats are evil. Black cats are just as lovable as any lovable cat. It is sad to us that there is such a bad reputation associated with black cats. We are determined to end this maddening myth!

Tell your friends! 😺

We had a good week, and we hope you did, too. We had a lot of sun puddle time.

If you decided to carve pumpkins, or are doing your carving today, here is an article about how to make some delicious treats out of the pumpkin seeds.

The nice weather has passed, and today it is raining. A perfect day to carve or decorate pumpkins in preparation for Halloween this week. Or, if you are like me, to cuddle under a fuzzy warm blanket for a long cat nap.

Friendliest Cat Breeds, etc. etc.

SO. My ma called Tabby's Place, and the kitten with ma's anglicized name has already been adopted. Guess she waited too long.

Guess it is a sign, it is not time yet.

Then, she read this article on Catster about the "Friendliest Cat Breeds".  Is tuxedo a breed? Because my kind is not on the list. Humph!

I think ma said tuxedo cats aren't a breed in our own right, but just categorized by our bi-color markings. We are smart, I say, instead of friendly. However, I don't think they call us bicolor as a breed, either. Hmmm... may have to ask ma to research this for me so I can write to you all about it more intelligently. Still say I am a tuxedo breed, but, can you guess which breed is on Catster's list?

My brother, Stray Cat's, of course.

Do I even have to mention that tomorrow is 8 months since he left us here on earth to grieve? Probably not, Readers, you probably knew already.

Fall is in the air here, where we live, and that means extra cuddles (in my case, this just means sleeping/resting closely. MOL!) and comfy blankets to push out the cold. We are pushing though...❤

I used to be a little sister once... I will never forget those cuddles, too.

Proof that I can cuddle when I want to - circa 2010, in Florida.
