I want to send a meow-out or a shout-out as in human terms, to all the black felines out there on this, our day -- Black Cat Appreciation Day --celebrated on Saturday, August 17. We are mysterious, we are loveable, we are special.  So, please celebrate our day your way. Maybe adopt a black cat? A senior black cat? Or a black kitten. Either or both would be totally cool.   

From where I’m sittin,’ International Cat Day on August 8 sounds totally cool.  So, I can celebrate, right?  Can I choose how I celebrate? Maybe? OK. I want to stay outside in my stroller from sun-up to sundown. No? Sigh. 

Look at me!  It's me showing you my daily upside-down-back-scootin scratchpost acrobatics.  My siblings can't do this but I can.  Be sure & click on the title if you can't see this video. Does your cat do this?  Let us know.  

So what if I like to look at things upside down. I'm not the only cat that prefers upside down.  No, I don't get dizzy.  Besides, things look better upside down. Yes, they do. If you don't believe me, TRY IT!

Our hooman's laughing at us. Yes, she is. She says that we're too big for this box, that we're makin' the box bulge, that we're goin' to be furever known as "The Bulging-Box-Boy-Buddies."  We don't care. We like to groom each other, nap together, be together.  We each sat in this box alone & we each fit.

It's my turn in Gracee's box. She's been hoarding it!  You know how we cats are.  I haven't met a cat yet who passes up a chance to try out a new box -- or an old box for that matter.  Actually, we cats have to sit on everything/anything in our houses -- anything new, anything old, just anything.  You see me here illustrating that old adage: "If it Fits I Sits."

Yes, I'm sittin' in my sibling, Gracee's box.  Do you blame me?  I'm a cat too, afterall.  Cats and boxes -- like tea & crumpets -- like lightning and thunder - like -- you get my drift.  They just go together. So here I am, doin'  the "If it Fits I Sits" meme.  And, I do -- fit & sit, that is. 

This is where you'll usually find me. I hang out in the barrel of our newest cat tree. It's right next to the dining room table where my hooman sits. I get pets & tummy scratches everytime she gets up. Plus, Spirit can't bug me when I'm in my barrel. I have knocked him out of the tree when he's tried. Yes, I have.

Inkee-Bear & I aren't into boxes. Gracee is. Inkee-Bear & I like our cat trees and fluffy cat beds.This cat tree is waist-high -- for a hooman that is. Auntie Rika gave us this cat tree. As you can see, catnappin' with your sibling is the best. Anyway, the best for me. Not sure about Inkee-Bear. Sometimes he gets up & goes to another spot to nap.

I know that I have 5 fluffy cat beds and 2 new cat trees in our living/dining rooms but I want this new box from Corsica Deli to relax in. It's what I want, it's what I like so I'm takin' it. Hssss/swat to anyone/anything that dare try to move me outa' it! I'm not exactly what you call a scaredy-cat. Bring it on is what I say!
