Fat Cat on a Wire

I just had to post this. Talk about your social distancing technique!

These days we need a good laugh.  This wonderful piece is by an artist by the name of Andoledius.  I found it this morning in my cyber collection of humorous ephemera.

Enjoy!  Tee hee

International Cat Day -Postcard Friendship Friday #419

Yes, this week, on August eighth, Cats were celebrated across the world.  According to statistics, cats are the most popular pet on earth--there are an estimated 500 million felines frolicking in homes everywhere.  So it isn't surprising that there are several holidays celebrating our feisty, furry little friends.

International Cat Day was celebrated for the fist time in 2002 by IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, among other animal rights groups.

A human loved by a cat has been shown to improve mental health and to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. I can attest to that personally.  Toez the Polydactyl Cat has often been a lifesaver--laughter on a dark day.

I hope you took time, if you are, er, owned by a cat, to roll out the red carpet!   Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Prayer Partners - Postcard Friendship Friday #296

Isn't this just the cutest postcard you've ever seen?  I posted this back in 2010--I hope you don't mind when I re-post various postcards.  I have a lot to do today, so I am taking this little shortcut.

I once shared my life with a furry friend who looked exactly like this cat.  He loved me when I was a single girl.  Then after I married, he went out of his way to win my husband (who said he disliked cats).  When my children were born, he was their adoring protector.

His soul flew away to kitty heaven over 20 years ago. I still miss him. His full name was Sir Brat T. Bone, but we called him Bratty Bones.  I imagine him walking with Alan in heaven.  I have a vivid picture of them in my mind's eye.  It is a sweet picture.

Have a lovely day, dear Friends and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

All Good luck This Hallowe'en -Postcard Friendship Friday #285

This wonderful old postcard comes from Pearl, who's wonderful collection of cards boggles the mind!

This black cat seems a bit different than most pictured around Halloween. Her long wavy hair and mischievous look, in my opinion, make her exceptional. She reminds me of the cat who companied with me when I was a girl.  Her name was Snow.  She was all black with the exception of a tiny bit of white on her chest.  I still miss that kitty.

Have a lovely week, dear Friends.  Enjoy the sunshine when it comes, the ice when it freezes, the rain when it falls, the wind when it blows and the snow when it drifts...winter is on the way!  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
