World Cat Day happens to fall on Mancat Monday. Purrfect!
Mom Julie has insisted on taking over this post for today. I'll sit off to the side while she writes, hoping to bask in the glow of praise and celebration.
Thanks, Tom.
In the show The Honeymooners, Ralph tells Alice, "You're a pip, Alice." Suspecting it's an affectionate insult, it happens often enough for her to take it in stride, knowing she loves him for all his foolishness. It's that way with Tom and me. The old cat may as well call me a pip because he knows he already has that soft spot in my heart.
He lets me think I'm in charge, but pushes my buttons and rules the roost. This is his day to celebrate this strange yet affectionate relationship, a highlight of all the things that make him a cat, a wonderful four-legged inspiration for an entire congregation all in my head. Imagine that. He's also been there for the challenges, the wee early morning hours of work, a few tears and the decisions. (He's seen me through an awful lot of stuff lately).
So cheers to you, Tom and all the kitty companions who make our lives a better place, or are with us in spirit.
Happy Cat Day!
I couldn't have done it without you!
For this picture, I had the camera balanced on my shoulder. His paw will be on my arm quite often as I move the mouse (his mouse).

Happy World Cat Day!!
It's our first time to your welcoming site via our pal Mr. Puddy. Pssst, can we take confession even though we pagan heathen kitties?
What a great post! Kitties truly make our lives a better place. And even if they cross the bridge, they will be with us in heart forever :-)
Very nice post. In our house, when the cats are healthy and happy, life is especially good.
