Well, you know Mister Hollinsworth, Annie has that beat up old chair in the warehouse and you could have used that for your scratching post. That’s what my kitties are often inclined to do.
The chair I am sitting in at my desk has been scratched down to bare wood by Twig. There’s just enough stuffing behind my back and on the arms. It’s still comfortable. She’s only puked on the seat, not torn it up.
World First Aid Day. I learned enough first aid in Home Ec class my senior year of high school to actually become certified. But that’s been many, many years and I doubt if I could pass the test now.
National Sober Day. I don’t drink, so I’m sober every day.
National Cream filled donut day. Make mine a chocolate donut with lots of white cream filling (NOT custard filling!).
National Live Creative Day. I have some creative skills – I know how to sew, knit, crochet, do latch hook rugs, needlepoint, etc, but I don’t do my crafts very often.
National Virginia Day
National Eat a Hoagie Day (not for me, thanks anyway)
It was nice of him to explain at least. That’s more than Chesney would do. (Actually, Chesney DID apologize once, so scratch that thought.) My cats will use the scratching post sometimes , but they will also scratch up the furniture, including my desk chair. Perhaps they should make scratching posts out of leather. On another note, my garden is doing fine. (Well, as fine as it can be.) The carrots have grown, and there are blossoms on the bean stalks.
I have to go to bed early tonight because I work an early shift tomorrow. So, I’ll just have to post the “holidays” on this strip
Today (September 15) is:
National Wife Appreciation Day
National Cheese Toast Day
Greenpeace Day
National Felt Hat Day
National Double Cheeseburger Day
National Linguine Day (so many foods today and my stomach feels way too unsettled to eat anything. I’ve been feeling “barfy” for the past 2 days and I just can’t choke down food. I’m running a slight fever too – it’s been up and down from just 99.1° to around 100.6°. I sure hope I feel better in the morning!)
National Tackle Kid’s Cancer Day. Those St Jude commercials make me so sad. Kids shouldn’t have to fight cancer. Nobody should, but it hurts me most seeing kids fighting cancer.

Well, in that case, all is well. Scratch away!

Mr Hollingsworth is such a lovely shade of purple :-)
Nice to see one of the other Ten Cats in the spotlight.

Any port in a storm eh Mr Hollingsworth?

Mr. Hollingsworth, couldn’t you find anything at the warehouse to scratch up? Yum Yum’s “scratching post” is the legs to our coffee table.

When you gotta scratch, you gotta scratch!

Explaining that to a stranger gives him long enough to kick you into the next block.

I haven’t seen Bbears’ usual posting of cat pics. Did anyone get them in their email? I usually get them every morning.

Great pictures today. :)
