Happy National Cat Herders Day!

December 15 is National Cat Herders Day. Invented by Wellcat, this holiday, according to their web site:

If you can say that your job, or even your life, is like trying to herd cats, then this day is for you, with our sympathy.

Of course, we herd cats here on this blog every day, so we think every day is National Cat Herders Day.

“Sit in the box for a photo, Newton!”

That didn’t work out quite as planned.

“Hey, Ashton, you love a box. Come pose for us!”

Guess she’s being a diva today.

“You’ll come through for us, Pierre. Sit down and look at the camera.”

“No, at the camera…”

“Kitties? Anykitty? Hello?”

As you can see, we herd cats here all the time!

No mention of National Cat Herders Day would be complete without a shout out to our favorite cat herders of all, the EDS Superbowl commercial from 2000 with cowboys herding cats:

However you herd cats today, we know you’ll do it in style. And if necessary, herd your humans instead. We usually do.

The Toy Cold Shoulder

You know you’ve done it. The peeps find you a toy that they are sure you’ll love. It’s going to be the greatest thing ever. Then… not so much.

Pierre: What’s this? It has feathers, so maybe it will be fun. Pierre examining the toy 01

I will pose nicely several feet from the toy. Is that good enough?

Pierre ignoring the toy

Newton and Pierre: Watch us both ignore the toy at the same time. Teamwork!

Newton: It has feathers, but I’m not looking.

Okay, maybe I’m looking. A little bit.

Ashton: Hey, what do you have?

Ashton: *sniff, sniff*

Nope.

The peeps are mystified about how anything with feathers could get three strikes from us. We think it’s important to always keep them guessing. Don’t you?

Easy like Sunday

Newton: Yesterday was an exhausting day of snoopervising the wrapping of holiday gifts and the packing of a Secret Paws box.

Newton Prepares to Snoopervise

It’s important to inspect everything that is going to touch the gifts very carefully. If you can’t inspect it all visually, a sniff test will let you know if you need to explore further and possibly increase your diligence with a taste test.

Can you believe that I was finally asked to supervise from way over here? This is really an unacceptable distance for the sniff and taste testing.

Anyhow, after all of that hard work, I plan to take it easy today before the hard work of lounging around and waving my paw at the peeps while they go to the office begins again.
