Laugh. Learn. Love cats.
Newton: I’m the King of the cat tree! Ruler of all I survey! No one else can climb up here, or they will face my wrath.
Newton: What’s that I hear? Is it footsteps interrupting my Mancat Monday?
Ashton: It’s me. And don’t you DARE try it, Newton. This Mancat Monday thing is not an excuse for your hogging the cat tree. Don’t make me come up there and beat you up.
Newton: *sigh* Little sisters…
Today is Respect your Cat Day, celebrated on this day every year because on March 28, 1384, Richard II of England issued an edict forbidding the consumption of cats.
Just to be clear, around here, every day is Respect Your Cat Day. It should be at your house, too. But in case it isn’t, start with today and work from there. You have to start somewhere.
Need some ideas about ways to celebrate? How about a really cozy bed all of your own, maybe even getting breakfast served there?
This is an example of how not to respect your cat. No touching the tail!
Instead, we prefer treats as a form of respect. Lots of treats. Large treats.
Hopefully, this gives you some ideas about ways you can properly respect your cat on this important holiday!
Newton: It’s nip cigar time!
Newton: *Sniff… sniff…. SNIFF*
Ashton: You aren’t supposed to snort it, Newton.
Ashton: Ugh, don’t lick it. It’s going to be all soggy now. I can’t watch this.
Newton: *SLURP*
Ashton: Umm… Newton? You might want to look behind you–
Newton: Not now. Can’t a mancat be alone with his cigar?
Newton: Whaaaaaaat?!
Pierre: Heh, heh, heh.
Newton: Ashton, why didn’t you warn me?
Ashton: *sigh*
Ashton: There has been way too much of Newton on the blog and not enough me recently. So here I am, ready to share my easy Sunday with you!
We are having beautiful spring weather here, and I have been able to get window whiffs without leaving the security of the cat tree. That’s kind of like that breakfast in bed thing that the peeps like, only better, because the whiffs come to me!
Newton: Psst. You had something to announce, remember?
Ashton: I’m getting to that. Don’t be so pushy.
Newton: I assigned you one job….
Ashton: Pushy big brothers. This is *my* day on the blog. Okay, here we go…
The winner of our “I’d Rather Be With My Cat” t-shirt giveaway is Sue G! Concatulations! We’ll get that out in the mail to you right away. Newton was sure to get some extra floof on it for you.
Newton: You weren’t supposed to say that part.
Ashton: You didn’t give me a script. And even if you did, I can’t read. Let’s just enjoy the springtime window whiffs on easy Sunday.
