CatsGiving
CatsGiving is a holiday that I have been considering — it’s a time during which we would give thanks for our feline friends. After all, cats are man’s best friend — I know that you probably think that it is the dog that is man’s best friend. And I certainly respect that point of view. But because I am a cat person, I think it is appropriate to start a new holiday with an animal I am most familiar with. Besides, DogsGiving just sounds peculiar, doesn’t it??
I have yet to google CatsGiving, though I would imagine there are hundreds of thousands of websites dedicated to this. Or maybe at least one. CatsGiving would start with thawing a gigantic mouse for dinner, preparing mouse dressing, and ending with — of course! — mousekin pie.
Can you think of a bigger and more fitting feast?
Cats certainly work hard for us during the rest of the year — sunbathing on the carpet, taking paw baths every day, and scratching the furniture when we’re not in the house. So shouldn’t we celebrate them at least once a year!?
I agree. So, if you are interested in contributing to this new holiday, send one million dollars and a picture of your cat to me. If you don’t have a picture, just send the one million dollars. It would make a nice start toward my research on this holiday that I plan to undertake in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, England, Wales, Scotland……never mind. Just pass the leftover cranberry sauce and forget everything I’ve said here….
Happy ThanksGiving!!!
