Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for July 01, 2023

Lily plays in the National League. And she does not play for “funsies”!

That “strike” looks like it could be a home run. She sure sent someone on a high fly!

Today is:

National Play Outside Day. I won’t be playing outside, but I will be working outside.

International Day Of Cooperatives

International Reggae Day

Canada Day

National Hop-a-park Day

National Gingersnap Day

National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day. I’m not big on creative flavors. I prefer plain old boring vanilla or chocolate.

National U.S. Postage Stamp Day

National Postal Worker Day

I got a really good laugh out of this. Thank you, Graham.

There are some who go by their own rules…..

If that’s Lilly, he’s out.

I hope that was a dog (even tho I dearly love them) and not This Side Up. Good grief, it’s July today, one of my two least favorite months, the other being August. Our nights cool down but I was overdressed on my 4 am bike ride this morning.

Lily, I think you tossed that poor cat way out of the ball park! Home run for you!

Kitten update: Three got adopted. The black one and the spot faced one went together. The tuxedo got a home. That leaves the twins. Dr Susan took them home for the night. And, one from the last batch of 8 got adopted. That leaves just one light tortie female.

Must be along foul ball, definitely not a swing and a miss.

FREE MCTS and ELDO!!!!

Regarding the 2nd panel:

This morning, (my) Oliver hurked up something similar looking on my bedroom floor.

Our former vet, who specialized in cats, called the behavior in the last panel “whacking.” She thought it was, from the cat point of view, a major tool in kitten rearing.

They know more about baseball than I do! HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

Second update: The lady who adopted the solid black one had to take it back. Apparently she didn’t know she’d be allergic to it. Both Susans said she was crying. We were out doing things and stopped at PetCo to see what was going on and a young man and his pregnant wife were talking about adopting one. The kitten was snuggled up into his neck and had been there for about 20 min. They adopted it! Just as we were going to leave, a young mom and two kids (a girl about 8 and a boy around 5) were holding the returned black one. I heard the mom say “We have to ask daddy.”We left and just after we got home Susan called and said the father met them at PetCo and they adopted it! So, all of mine are gone.

FREE MORE CATS THAN SENSE AND ELDO!

What a strike! Lily’s knocking that cat clear into orbit! On another note, saw four robins, two finches, two Wilson’s warblers, two juncos, and two butterflies while out walking today.
