National Cat Day!
Maynard demands justice for Feline Americans
I was in the waiting room at the vet, flipping idly through Cat Fancy, and my eye was caught by a demand that August 15 be proclaimed National Cat Day. I visited the Happy Cat Day website, and dutifully mailed the suggested letter to my Senators and Congressman:
Dear _____________,
I write to bring to your attention the shocking fact that while there are a whole bunch of holidays set aside for honoring all sorts of people, causes, places, and events, there still isn't one to celebrate one of God's noblest creations namely domestic cats (aka pussy cats, tabbies, and felines), beloved by hundreds of millions, from the lowly to the mighty. Maybe one or more are living in your home, in which case you are already familiar with the wonders of this splendid species. Or, if you're not one of those fortunate enough to enjoy the blessings of having a cat in your life, please know that these amazing, companionable creatures, because of the many gifts they confer upon humankind, deserve to be honored with their very own national holiday.
Therefore, I urge you to employ the power of your office along with arm-twisting and calling in chits from colleagues who owe you a big one to bring about a resolution to establish Cat Day, and also lobby for issuance of a Cat Day stamp, so this rank injustice will, at long last, be set right.
Sincerely yours,
Maynard G. Krebs
Who could argue with that?
Oddly enough, I also found this competing web site that proposes a Cat Day on October 29. I wish these two proponents would coordinate their efforts, lest they work at cross purposes. Then again, I think this nation is big enough to support two Cat Days.
If you attend a local rally, here's what to chant. Together, everyone:
Cat Day! Cat Day!
Give it to us now!
Cat Day! Cat Day!
Meow! Meow! Meow!

Having cat every day gets tiresome. Same as chicken or beef does.
