Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for May 24, 2023

I’ll take all three!

…and yes, unfortunately I’m old enough to remember Kitty Kalen. She wore lots of petticoats under her dresses. Well. We all did back then.

I didn’t remember Kitty Kallen’s name, but when I looked her up, I remembered most of her hit songs.

Today is:

BROTHER’S DAY

NATIONAL SCAVENGER HUNT DAY

WORLD SCHIZOPHRENIA DAY

NATIONAL ESCARGOT DAY. No way am I EVER going to eat snails!

NATIONAL YUCATAN SHRIMP DAY

AVIATION MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN DAY

NATIONAL WYOMING DAY

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FOR CHILDREN DAY

From yesterday’s comments, JLChi said, "James H. is one of the reasons I no longer watch Jeopardy, along with Ken Jennings. I was addicted to it for decades, but now, I can’t stand it. Too many obnoxious people.

I wish they would go back to the old style where someone had to leave after they won five games. And shut Ken Jennings up."

I agree completely! I never saw This James H. guy because I stopped watching Jeopardy after about Ken Jenning’s tenth win. I couldn’t stand seeing any more of him. I like the show much better when people had to leave after 5 wins. I don’t know why they changed that. Now with new hosts too, I won’t ever watch it again. I liked both Art Flemming and Alex Trebek as hosts on that show.

I would like to have one of those T-shirts!

Black cats get a bad rep. Our Jett is just the sweetest kitty.

Those cats are really fat!!!!! A few of my cherries are starting to show some color, so today I will start wrapping them with shade cloth as soon as it’s light out. Huge job moving a heavy ladder about 50 times around the trees tying it to the branches, and I can’t work in the heat. Flocks of those beautiful Western Tanagers will strip a tree in a few hours. I don’t mind sharing, but they just gorge themselves. They don’t touch any of my other fruit, thankfully. The wild mulberry trees down the road are also starting to ripen, several species of birds love them also. .

I like the first one. It explains the relationship between Kiki and the beasts.

As I watch Smudge peacefully sleeping on the back of the couch, there is no way I could ever believe he is bad luck (as long as you don’t step on him in the dark)

Tee-hee…

Those tee shirts are not slimming. Chunkie kitties should not wear them. Mr Kitty would not agree with the first tee shirt. He was best friends with my golden retriever who saved his life by bringing him to me.

When we found out my husband’s bypass surgery would be scheduled for Friday 13 (2004). The surgeon asked if there was any problem with that date. I told him we had a black cat that constantly crossed our paths, so no problem. To make matters even weirder, he was put into room 13 after the surgery. Plus hurricane Charlie took a jog northward and aimed right for Orlando, FL- he was in a hospital in Orlando. We all survived. Plus Screamin" ( that"s him as my avatar) had been coming around & I didn’t even think about him until the middle of the storm. When Francis followed 3 weeks later he was right outside as the storm hit & I brought him in. Since Jeanne was hovering around & hit 3 weeks later, I brought him to the Vet for his check up & he joined our house hold.

As i got home this morning i got to see a pair of robins going after a crow. They were not going to take any prisoners.

Great pictures today. :)

While I don’t know who Kitty Kallen is, I do find these T-shirts to be quite amusing. Especially the “Doggone! I Hope” one. ( For the record, I like dogs, but I know some kitties don’t.) On another note, saw a chipmunk, seven rabbits, seven robins, a wren, two sparrows, and a Wilson’s warbler while out walking today.

Blow me a kiss from across the room; say I look nice when I’m not. A line a day when you’re far away; Little things mean a lot. Liked that song.
