The folklore of “Old Maid’s Day”, comes 36 days after May Day, (in the way-before-Obama-and-Communist sense), when folks would “go a-Mayin’ in the heather”. The inference being of such things as lunar cycles and ‘the fairer sex’, as they used to say. So, by day 36-plus from May Day, “something” should have happened, ergo Old Maid’s Day.

It would be rather difficult for me to hug my kitty, as I put her down and buried her in her favourite outdoor spot yesterday afternoon.

It’s a nice idea, but somewhat impractical now.

Those who have kitties, hug yours for me,mmkay?

I’m so sorry. I lost a cat and current kitty is 16.
I’m not good with words to pet owners but I know what you are going through and I’ll be thinking of you today

And saying a little prayer in memory of your kitty.

Take care

Sorry for your loss. One of my kitties has been with me for 13 years, and I know I will miss him when he’s gone.

I already posted this to another thread, but it is probably appropriate here as well...

Apparently teh kettehs are working on a Bible translation for cats. See LOLCat Bible.

Excerpt: Ecclesiastes 1

Everything Iz st00pid

1 Teh werdz ov teh preechur, teh son ov David, King of teh Jerusalem.2 "St00pid! St00pid!" Sez teh teechurcat. "Srsly st00pid. Everythingz st00pid."3 Wut man getz 4 laburz he toilz @ undur teh sunz?4 Generashun comez n generashun goez, still same lolcats.5 Sun rizez n setz, goez bak n rize agin.6 Teh wind blowz souf n norf, rownd n rownd, alwayz teh sayme.7 Seaz can has streemz, nevur fullz. Streemz go bak where comez frum.8 All tingz has DO NOT WANT, more den werdz sez. Lolrus never sez "enuf bucket, kthnx" or kitteh sez "dats good, enuff cheezburger."9 Has happen? Gunna be agin. Nuthing new undur teh sunz.10 Kitteh can not sez "OMFGZ sumthing new!" is jus REPOST!.11 New kittahz 4gitz old kittahz, new kittahz 4gitd bai even newer kittahz.

Wizdum Iz St00pid

12 I Iz teh teechurcat, king of teh Jerusalem.13 I has studiez n wizdum ovur all lolcatz, n zomg wut hevy berdun Ceiling Cat putz on kittehz.14 Teechurcat haz see lolrus n cheezburgerz n longcatz n awl dat is st00pidz, lyke chasing aftur tail. Nevr can catch teh tayle and even whn yu doo it hrtz srsly.

15 Wut iz breakd kittah cannot to be fixez, wut gon cannot iz cowntid.

16 Teechurcat sez to selv, "O hai! I has growd n increes widum moar den awl teechurcatz comez b4 meh. I has ekspeeriens much wizdum n nawledg."17 Den I appliez self to knowz wizdomz n aslo knowz bout craze and g00f, n lernz dat dis aslo lyke chasing aftur tayl.

18 Srsly moar wizdum iz FTL, k. Moar smartz, moar greefz.
