Good morning friends and fans…………it’s going to be another one of those days when there’s no place like Mom’s legs. That will require her utmost cooperation though – something that was sadly missing yesterday when I had to resort to HOWLING at the bottom of the stairs to get her out of her studio and down in the living room with ME on the recliner. APPARENTLY I’ve been under under the false impression that I’m #1 around here. She’s supposed to drop everything when I call right? Well she’s falling down on the job! Purrrrhaps I need to get that NUCAT performance review paperwork back out and let her HAVE IT!
On the other paw, I know the old saying “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” (and cleans out your litterbox). I’ll just try to be a bit more patient. Not an easy task.
Know what else today is??? It’s HUG YOUR CAT DAY!!!!!
That’s right – although I purrrsonally think EVERY day is “hug your cat day” – here are some of the huggy photos Mom has of the two of us in a little mini-slide show!
MAKE SURE AND GIVE YOUR CAT AN EXTRA HUG TODAY!!!! IF YOU WANNA SEE OTHER HUGGABLE KITTIES, VISIT THE TABBY CAT CLUB WHERE WE ARE SHOWING OFF OUR HUGGABLE-NESS TODAY!
Today is not only HUG YOUR CAT DAY, it’s also the birthday of my girlcatfriend Sundae’s Mom, Miss Dianna who is one of Mom’s bestest friends. If you’d like to send her your birthday wishes, you can visit her blog HERE to do so!
It’s otherwise a quiet day here – no outside photos as it’s raining still and has been for days……………….remember this? It’s starting to look a lot like this around here!
Here’s hoping wherever you are, the weather is PURRRRRRFECT!
See you on Monster Friday……I’m going to go warn the dust bunnies here to HIDE!
Love, Sammy
Oh dear, rain and human failure – hope the extra hugs help!

Hi Austin! That photo of me and Mom and bacon was from Christmas……Bacon (the pig) had sent my Mom a hat (which she’s wearing in the photo) that was a BACON DAY hat…..Mom had just finished frying up OUR (note the word OUR) breakfast there on the counter and the minute Dad snapped the photo I squirmed to be put on the kitchen floor, loudly demanded my share of that bacon, and all was RIGHT in my world! I hope you and your Mum have a happy HUG YOUR CAT DAY and I think you should at least allow ONE hug from her today…….tell her it would GREATLY EFFECT her performance review! 😉
