    World-renowned detective. Icon. Who are we speaking of? Why, Sherlock Holmes, of course!
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, says the character was originally inspired by Joseph Bell, a surgeon at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for whom Doyle had worked as an assistant. He published the first of four novels and 56 short stories beginning in 1887.

    The ways of celebrating this day are unlimited. Read, watch a movie, or if you feel like being a bit more active, Sherlock Holmes Day might be the perfect time to play a little detective yourself.

    PG, mysteriously your Café is going to segue very nicely into tomorrow’s offering as in Canada Monday is Victoria Day! 🙂 Seven percent solution hehehe.

    Cute photo. I don’t mean to scare and this frightened me as it is those its happening to. There’s a cat killer in England. He’s been going around over the past few months decapitating cats. People are scared and keeping their cats inside but this cat ripper has yet to be found as more cats die. Sorry to put a damper on Sherlock day but he is from the same country. I doubt anyone in the US would ever do that. Just also read? There are more cat parents in the US than those with dogs. Doesn’t that give you paws for thought.

    Good morning all! …. I love Sherlock stories …. in fact, ‘Elementary’ is one of Mr. AV and my favorite TV series currently! ….
    Well the Preakness was yesterday ….. of course we called Son to place a sports book and Mr. AV picked the winner! …. I went with the favorite, so I lost my $2 …. Mr. AV won about $100 …. we’ll have a nice dinner night out now 😉
    Looking foward to a relaxing day, Miss Abby is over her meds and seems to be doing very well with her teeth surgery … eating like a champ, and no complaints that I can detect …. she probably feels better since the hurting teeth were removed …..
    … have a great Sunday everyone!

    RF, just read the “Daily Mail” on this horror going on in UK! 😡 I’m not intending to start an argument on this banned topic, but IMHO, unless you have a fenced in yard and/or you’re helping ferals keep your house kits indoors folks. Dorry and Nicky (Rainbow Bridge dweller) never went out unless it was in carrier on way to vet. They do not seem to miss great outdoors. As for perp of this horror, there is no punishment great enough. I hope that he gets caught. And soon.

    Good morning – great pics!
    Randi, that is absolutely horrifying. And so very sad and pathetic of someone attacking small animals.
    Congrats to Mr. AV on the win – enjoy “free” dinner! Glad Abby is doing ok.
    Hi KJ! *waving*
    It’s a cloudy start to the day here in Jersey after a rainy evening and overnight. Can you believe it, the wood burner was going last night. It felt just chilly enough and the fire took the dampness out as well.
    Initially 4 customers for breakfast; Mama Cat came by a bit later. Dewey was around earlier but not when breakfast was served. He’s sporting a scrape on his head similar to the one Louie recently had, so I got some bacitracin on him and amoxicillin in his food yesterday. Mr. Gooey-eyes Huey is looking good – I haven’t had to bug him with eye wipes lately. When I pick him up, he straddles me so his belly is against mine, big goofy baby!

    Oh, Joan…gooey Huey sounds so sweet!

    Unfortunately cat killing has happened in the US. My Uncle’s cat (a feral they were caring for) was killed by an infamous cat serial killer in south Florida.

    I’m sooo glad to hear Abby is happy and healthy, AV! Enjoy your dinner!

    So, did you know Jacksonville is the largest city in the US mainland (area wise)? So, even though I grew up here I’m unfamiliar with most of the city. I’ve been having fun researching neighborhoods with affordable housing, driving through them to see if they seem safe, etc… We have a couple of neighborhoods we’re looking at but won’t actually start looking at houses until hubby’s job is a sure thing. I’m enjoying the research though. I feel empowered every time I learn my way around another part of town.

    We had a cat serial killer in our n’hood as well. Haven’t heard about him in a whole (his pic was posted in local pet supply place.) I can only hope that he either stopped or was stopped. Thing is when they catch these f**ks they claim “insanity” and end up in psych hptl with 3 squares a day, all kinds of neat classes and free therapy. I believe things are evened up on some level, but that we usually don’t get to witness the payback. 😥
    On pleasanter note my gym is also community ctr and today/ tomorrow is the awesome annual bazaar, all $$$ go to good cause. So for grand total of $31 I got me a handbag, belt, suede gloves, IKEA style nesting baskets, knitting yarn storage bin and cute boho dirndl skirt, black with interesting border. I never pay the reg price my MO is to say that I’m taking this at whatever price but just want to know if there’s lower price on offer and then they knock off few dollars. Sadly (well not really sad) sample shoes size has gone up to a 7 over the years as opposed to my size 5 pawsies. Otherwise, they had tables of the most awesome sample shoes. Well someone will do well. Might stop by as they close tomorrow ’cause at that point one can almost get paid to take whatever’s left.

    Wish that all cats were safe no matter what country one lives in. The very big one in my book is the female vet who killed the yellow cat Tiger with a bow and arrow and then posted on FB that the “only good cat is a dead cat”. Big smile on her face holding up this precious animal. Trouble is, HE was someone’s cat and not feral. Her a$$ is in big time hot water and she could lose her veterinary license. And IMO that’s exactly what SHOULD happen. Why would any clinic hire her, and who would want to take an animal to her? Don’t vets take an oath just like regular medical doctors for humans? She keeps fighting for her license, but I do hope her career is toast, and she just needs to move on. That’s the thing about social media–in your stupidity to make people think you are some kind of bada$$ by holding up something you just killed–you have just alienated yourself to the rest of the population who just may not agree with you. Sorry guys, this really makes my blood boil. I’m off my soapbox now… 😳

    Good afternoon all.
    Perfect topic, I am currently reading The Return of Sherlock Holmes.



    I am a big fan of the British Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
    Woohoo AV, great win for Mr AV and now a great dinner out.
    JJ, sounds like the outside crew are going to be a rambunctious lot and will always need your care for their scrapes and bumps. They are so lucky to have you on their side. Huey sounds like a cuddlebug.
    ECB, I hope that job confirmation comes soon so you can get on with finding a home. My city has been growing so much for so long there are suburbs I haven’t seen or heard of.
    KJ, a whole heap of bargains makes for an excellent day.
    On the cat killers topic briefly, i think wherever you are in the world there is people sick enough to do that. We have had them here too. KZ I will never forget the callousness of that so called vet.
    We had a very cold night last night, down to 5C -41F. Not very low for many of you and it’s not quite Winter either. HRH snuggled up with us for the night. Today is still quite chilly, we have a weak sun and occasional showers. I have a feeling that we will light the fire tonight.
    Spent the morning out getting my flu vaccination finally, preparing for the ouchies in my shoulder tonight.
    Come on Oklahoma City Thunder ! ! !

    I have refrained from saying anything about the cat killer. I am furious and my heart aches too much to say any more.

    This is a good time and place to end all comments on that particular topic.
    Too many hearts are hurting.
    Thank you PG.

    Well won Oklahoma City Thunder.

    Yes MS. Thanks for moderating.
    That Sherlock Holmes gif!!!!! That black patch on kit’s foot. Squeee!!!!!
    Will putting ice pack over towel on arm be soothing? I recall trying this when I got a shot that felt like my bicep had been used as a punching bag and I recall it helping somewhat. The good side effect is that you don’t get the flu. 😉
    There are entire areas in my city that I have never visited. And just about all a short Metro (subway) ride away. I really should play tourist in my own ‘burg. (Now I sound like Sophisticated Cat hehehe.)
    Srsly warm here today and tomorrow going up to 27 C. As opposed to your n’hood MS, where sounds like “Winter is Coming.” (GOT – which I just could not get into, that is while I still had the channel, too many characters and plot lines.)
    Might have overdone it just a bit at gym today. A bit out of sorts. Bedtime beckons. Tomorrow all!

    Psst – belated thanks to waving at me thru wires Sunday!
    Yes, I lurk on Sunday for refrain from posting on ‘net over the weekend plus phone mgb isn’t as strong as some.

    Just adding my 2.5cents on Animal Abuse vs Care Subject:
    ellie share the care
    Please Do what you can to speak up for Earth’s Creatures – We must be their Voice for too many Meanies Out There!
    Thanks! JKT
