July 20 is…National Lollipop Day
*****
I could not resist alerting everyone to this celebration since childhood is such an intricate part of the catnipoflife. Mosey on over to catnip’s sister site, Awakenings, for the celebration. You just might find some lollipops that turn you on or perhaps turn you off!

Plus how on earth could I pass posting the cat eating the lollipop?!
Are you truly READY to celebrate the true meaning of this day? Click each image or link!
I just want to be loved!
Summertime is on the horizon! There are a lot of celebrations during the month of June but one is most fitting to catnip: Adopt a Cat Month. With summer comes the rising temperatures and efforts being made to cool things down. Have you ever thought about our feline friends who don a fur coat all year long? The sweltering summer heat can indeed be a torment and often life threatening.
Adopt a Cat Month is HERE!
Why is Adopt A Cat Month in June? During the spring, shelters are brimming with cats and kittens of every age. Unfortunately, there are often more cats in a given shelter than they can handle.
This overpopulation causes millions of perfectly healthy, loveable and adoptable kittens and cats to be euthanized every year.
Even though June is designated as Adopt a Cat Month, it is not just about the cat. June is loaded with Pet Celebrations:
Ready? Set! Adopt a cat!

Have you ever thought about one fact that sets man apart from many other species on the planet is an opposable thumb? It allows us to do many things that other creatures can’t do. If you have ever injured your thumb, you have had a first hand experience as to what an important role that digit plays on the human hand.
Now imagine what it would be like if your pet had thumbs. Do you get a clear image of your pet with thumbs? Are you seeing your pet doing things with his/her new thumb? If so, your mind is in spirit with celebration today, March 3…
Note: If you have a pet monkey, you already know what it would be like for your pet to have thumbs. Hee-hee…
Here is a Thumbs Up for all pets today!
There is more going on today as always. Visit Awakenings for National Anthem Day celebrated on March 3!
January 4 is…National Spaghetti Day
Reposted from Awakenings with a touch of catnip…
Gobble Gobble Gobble is the tune of the day if the only thing on your mind is the Thanksgiving feast…BUT that is not all Thanksgiving is about. It’s only a start…
gluttons for punishment
partake of the Thanksgiving feast
with abundant choices
one can feel like a gorging beast
*****
try this for something different…
go around the table
fill a plate with all the trimmings
deliver to the disabled

Thanksgiving is not just about food…it’s music too!
Thanksgiving is about…

Yet not quickly enough
Does the relief come
Even off battlefields
Seek out a helping hand
No matter how small
Do whatever you can
Bless one, bless them all!
Trick or Treat!

It is a known fact (um-m-m-m? by whom?) that cats hate vacuum cleaners…
These cats are unaware of that fact…
Now that I have your attention,
Along the many highways and byways, change is imminent: change in season brings about crisp, cool mornings along with the bursting forth of vivid reds, burnt oranges, spun gold as leaves intensify in brilliance during their own change. Within this anticipation is yet another eager time of awakening. The change in color announces the time to venture cross country in search of nature’s most glorious landscape.
