Manic Monday

 

Manic – NOT Maniac!  HAHA……..and it’s “manic” because I have several things to blog about this morning!

One thing is that tomorrow is a big day in the Cat Blogosphere but in a way it’s a big day for everyone…….many years ago a special day was started by The Cat Realm began a holiday that is rather pawsome if you ask me……..it’s called “NOMS Day” but “NOMS” doesn’t mean food like some of us call our eatables, it stands for “NOT OF MY SPECIES”…….a day to honor OTHERS!   This is what they said about NOMS day on their site:

Noms Day (“Not Of My Species Day”), a holiday to remember that all beings are equal, to remind ourselves to be tolerant towards everybody, to reach out across species, cultures, nationalities, religions, languages, beliefs and appearances and to come together and embrace our differences.

Pretty cool huh?   And they created a special badge to be displayed by those of us who pawticipate in blogging about a friend who is not of our species on August 5th every single year……….

So, while the Tabby Cat Club will be participating at the Club tomorrow and you can go there to see everybody’s chosen cross-species posts, I’ll post at the TCC and ALSO my blog.   Make note to visit the TCC tomorrow though so you can see everyone’s posts – RIGHT AFTER YOU’VE SEEN MY TEASER OF COURSE!  (hee hee hee)

Speaking of the Teaser, I have the honor of showing you the newly re-designed and entirely more fashionable (ha) Teaser Badges which will be used this week for the first time……………so without further ado, let’s parade these badges down the runway to show them off!

Tomorrow’s Teaser is NOT a Guest Teaser photo………….it’s Mom’s………….yep – good old Mom (or Mom and Dad as the case may be).   One from our personal Kimmell Archives.   I don’t know if Google search will help you out on this one guys………you’ll be on your own……..guessing by the seat of your pants (unless you don’t wear pants of course then it’s by your SEAT period!).

This coming Friday and Saturday we’re going to be mighty busy on Cat Scouts too!   I now have a Travel Group which I operate with the help of my blog buddies Gracie and Raz who are also of course Scouts…………we three are hosting a Riverboat trip down the Mississippi River……..we’re having a costume buffet dinner the first night on board – girlcats dressing as dance hall girls or southern belles and boycats dressing as riverboat gamblers or scaliwags (haha)……then the next day we’re taking swamp buggies into the swamp down in the Bayous of New Orleans where we are staying in a swamp lodge on stilts (so the crocs can’t get us) and having a dinner by a campfire on the edge of the swamp (eeeeeek) before returning to our homes the next day.   Should be a hoot and you best believe I’ll share some photos from that with you when I can!!   Meanwhile, if you are a cat and are not a Cat Scout – what’s your excuse????   I’m a Troop Leader you know – of the Worldwide Wildcats Troop……we’re always looking for a few good Scouts AND we have tons of fun.   Visit HERE and join up……..what are you waiting for?  You can come on the riverboat trip if you hurry………….
