So, how come no one told me it was National Cat Day??
I better hurry up and grovel and beg my kitties forgiveness for not making a bigger deal out of it.
Or maybe I'll just pretend that tomorrow is the 29th.. they won't know the difference..

ReplyDeleteWhoa! Who knew there were so many cat holidays. I bet they'd be interested to know over at Cat Blogosphere so they could let everyone know!
