"Hug Your Cat Day".

If you've ever been blessed to share space with a feline
You'll soon be aware that these creatures define
Grace and elegance with an unique and haughty air

On silent paws they creep while you are fast asleep
Checking for things amiss with fastidious care
Either indoors or wrapped in the ebon cool of night

For all the cat sees belongs to she or he
And that includes pets and hugs when the time is right
The cat will let you know when that time will be

Though if life sometimes is sad
The cat will sense it and won't get mad
If you lift and hug it close for a silent tete a tete

In Feline Contracts it is quietly noted
In small print and rarely quoted
That every day can be "Hug Your Cat Day"

Appearing to be, just little brats,
Nevertheless, they are caring cats.
Qualified to leap, to unreachable heights
Always more frisky, particularly at night.

Able to run sideways, even on walls
Keeping in balance, never to fall.
Accused of being finicky, when I call it class
An affectionate nature, they're caring cats.

When talking to a cat, to make you aware
They shift their ears, to tell you they hear.
The light that shines, from their eyes at night
Alone in the dark, a mysterious sight.

Captivating your love, with a relaxing purr
Displaying affection, attentive to words.
Their spirited nature, being mischievous cats
Compassionate felines, they're caring cats.

Well, phooey - I missed the Tournament of Roses yesterday, and they were all absolutely breathtaking. (and they smelled sooooooo sweet!) :)

So yesterday was hug a cat day. I should have guessed. I don’t have a cat but I have two dogs and yesterday morning I was awaken by their barking. I could tell by the way they were barking that they had something treed. During the past year they have treed wild critters on a couple of occasions and I thought it was probably another raccoon or possum. Turned out to be a neighbor’s cat which was perched on a window ledge that was too high for the dog on the ground to reach and too far from the deck for the dog on the deck to reach. I guess he come over for a hug but he should have come to the front door. The back yard is fenced so the dogs couldn’t have reached him there.
