Daily Holidays - June 4

National Hug Your Cat Day Hug Your Cat Day is one of those pleasingly straightforward holidays. Quite simply, it is a day in which cat owners everywhere are encouraged to hug their cats. The more dedicated amongst them will not need this encouragement, of course, but it is always good to be reminded of our feline friends. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/hug-your-cat-day/

National Tailors Day Tailors Day is a day where people are encouraged to dress their best and to reach out and thank the person that helps them achieve their high level of sartorial elegance. While off-the-peg clothes may have become commonplace, even among some of the best dressed, the tailor still plays an integral part in ensuring some people look their best, and Tailors Day is the day to thank them. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tailors-day/

And it's not always easy, found him as a tiny kitten in a grocery store parking lot over a year ago and he was never a cuddly kitten. But he really has come around, loves having his ears rubbed now and will cuddle up next to me on the couch - when he feels like it. And he has grown into quite a beautiful cat...

I'm not a cat person, never have been (no pets here with allergies with which to contend), but I know many are and hope you and they enjoy the pets and the day.

Happy that you could rescue the little rascal! I know he has a good home!

But I've also had 4 cats in my life. My guys seem to find me. And I'm also allergic to cats, though I think I've become less sensitive in recent years. I found out from my vet that long and short haired cats have different dander and apparently long haired cats don't bother me as much. Fortunately, that's what Felix turned out to be, though all I could see of him at night in that parking lot were his eyes. He was initially opposed to coming home with me. It took an employee from the store and his wife who came to pick him up to catch the little guy and put him in the carrier, don't know how I would have managed without them...
