Thursday – 31/8/2017 – TDK Black Cat Appreciation Day

I’m not a black cat hoomin per se – but am definitely a black cat aficionado! Purrhaps just for this day I can be an honourary black cat hoomin! 🙂

Caddy is in her element today, being celebrated and all (just like all other days in this house) …

Oh, white lights for Ville …. poor guy, only one eye!

Son has been good about keeping in touch thru Viber (love that app) …. he called yesterday and wanted my recipe for Jambalaya – he was cooking GF dinner …. seems like things are going well ….he gets back Sunday, so I’m sure I’ll hear all about it ….

Had fun yesterday at the beach with Mr. AV and even though it was a cloudy day, I managed to get sunburnt 🙁 …. have a great day all!

Sheree doesn’t mind being appreciated some more:

What’s that pic PG? Just a Q mark shows up.

You could be right about Miss Livia. Considering that I do live in the same city as Lagatta. But I have not as yet resorted to becoming a cat burglar! 😉

We had one black cat in our time, she was litter mate to Whitefoots our first cats as a married couple but sadly she caught cat flu and didn’t make it. Her name was Wild.
AV, it’s great that son is keeping you up to date on his trip and I bet you can barely wait until Sunday.
Leeny, please tell Sheree that she is one gorgeous girl.
LOL really Lagatta? Are we not going to see Miss Livia?
PG, I don’t even get a Q, inquiring minds are inquiring.
😕 😯
What a odd day as far as the weather goes. Overcast but very warm, actually uncomfortably warm when you go into stores that are now overheated. Then we get rain and then sun showers and black clouds arrive and we get rain and sun. Crazy and you don’t know what to wear.

Oh my Elaine, you have three beautiful black cat. Wow Archie is a big fluffy boy.
Ville update, he is home and chowing down hungrily. Operation was not 100% but his eye looks better than is had been. I don’t know what the problem was but there was the possibility he may lose the sight in it if the operation was not done. He lot his other eye from medication required when his Mama rescued him. He had a serious ringworm infection and the ringworm meds caused the loss of sight in one eye and damaged the other and meant his teefs never grew properly. He doesn’t know any different and just gets on with life with his best friend and sibling a wee dog.

A number of beautiful black cats have passed through my life and I’m afraid the meadow would need to be very large to accommodate them all. Archie was a slightly fluffy shelter kitten who grew to be a gorgeous 8 kg fuzzball, but alas his kidneys collapsed when he was only 6 yo. Flicker was a terrified skin-and-bone wreck who turned into the most beautiful, trusting, affectionate satin-sleek panther. I was feeding him for 5 months before he would let me touch him. He made it to senior cathood. After I’d been leaving food out for a while I realised I was actually feeding 2 cats, which is how I adopted Harry.

So many beautiful black cats–why would anyone be afraid of them? I have my sleek beauty Bowtie, who has the sweetest purrsonality. She doesn’t like to be held, but lays on the arm of the chair or (HER FAVORITE) laying on the kitchen table in front of you and she gets her chin and ears scratched while she scopes out any food that she thinks might be up there. Of course I don’t let the cats up on the table while we are eating, but she thinks there is always something interesting to do up there–why else would we spend so much time sitting around that big oval thing in the kitchen? 😛
