Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for September 16, 2023

You’re not paranoid if it’s true.

If we merely get the vacuum out, our cat will hide under the bed.

I never had a cat that didn’t hide.

Oh yes, the vacuum cleaner will get you if you don’t look out!

♬ Don’t turn around, uh-oh ♬ The commissar is in town, uh-oh ♬ ♬

Today is:

NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY

NATIONAL CLEANUP DAY

NATIONAL WORKING PARENTS DAY. I will count this as my day because I work and I’m a cat mom.

RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP DAY

PUPPY MILL AWARENESS DAY. They need to work harder to eliminate all puppy mills (and kitten mills) and impose HUGE fines on people running them.

NATIONAL GYMNASTICS DAY

NATIONAL STEPFAMILY DAY

NATIONAL PLAY-DOH DAY

NATIONAL DANCE DAY

MAYFLOWER DAY

BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUB DAY FOR KIDS

NATIONAL CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD DAY. I LOVE cinnamon raisin bread.

It’s not silly at all. Vacuum cleaners are deadly predators.

If I even take out the small rechargeable one Boots runs off & hides, but she has gotten used to the Roomba. Since it can’t climb up, she’ll go up on the bed or some other perch & sometimes watches it. If I put down treats in the kitchen, I put them on a bench, she knows how to get passed it. But a big vacuum…

Chez might enjoy riding a Roomba, he had no qualms about driving a stolen tractor.

The vac is out to get anything in its way…..R. U. N. !

I have photos of my late MippyCat lying flat-cat on his back while I run the vacuum around him. He wasn’t deaf; he just didn’t care about the vacuum.

See, that’s a perfectly good reason to not vacuum.

I don’t have a vacuum any more. I gave mine to my grandson.

I have a deaf one that doesn’t! She likes to watch! The rest are just …gone!

Route Nine ……. RUUUUNNNNNN

We had a cat who liked to be vacuumed. I used the upholstery brush. She was unlike any cat we’ve ever had in more ways than that.

Vacuum cleaners are malicious like that.

My furry kids are the same way when it comes to a vacuum :-(

All mine run from that monster!

Fortunately, you can always hear it coming. There are no Ninja vacuum cleaners. :)

FREE ELDO!

Ah, the dreaded vacuum cleaner. Can’t trust those monstrosities. They’re especially heinous when you’re trying to watch TV. On another note, saw two squirrels, five chickadees, a spotted towhee, two dragonflies, a robin, and a rabbit while out walking today.
