Caturday-Eve 2022

 

Caturday

It was vaccination week for Zoë & Hermione. After the screaming raucous Hermione made getting into the transportation box, it took three separate appointments and considerable bloodshed on my part to catch Zoë for her jab.

Thank goodness vaccinations only happen once a year! 

P.S. The cat from next door must have felt the dramatic vibes because he has been nowhere in sight all week.

Black Friday

 Happy Friday 13th! A special day for Zoë 😻

Knitting & Pets

 Now that you’ve got 252 stitches, knit another 78 rows. 

With 2 projects on the go like this, winter will be over before I’m done.

Zoë will keep me company.

International Cat Day

Our Zoë

It's International Cat Day - 8 Aug 

International Cat Day is a full 24 hours of recognition and veneration of one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved pets. The festivities were put together for the first time in 2002 by IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, among other animal rights groups, to celebrate the most popular pet on the planet.

An estimated 500 million cats are thought to be frolicking in neighbours’ gardens across the world, which means that most every extended family is bound to have an aunt with more kittens than former husbands, whatever the country or climate. And that’s great, because owning a cat has been shown to improve mental health and to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. So when it’s raining cats and dogs outside and you don’t have someone to cuddle with, any black, ginger, Persian, Siamese, Burmese, Bengal, Shorthair, Munchkin, Balinese, RagaMuffin or any old stray cat will do the trick.

So roll out the red carpet and the catnip for your furry feline friend, because International Cat Day is that one day a year when black cats bring good luck and cat eye sunglasses match your entire wardrobe.

 We have a new cat!

This gorgeous girl is my third black cat.

Mitzu, the family cat that I left in Townsville, died the same day as Pepper was also black.
