Katzen, katzen, and more katzen

These two were up for adoption and had a sign that said "2 for 1"

August 8th is International Cat Day

International Cat Day celebrates love for cats, and also focuses on the importance of keeping them safe, as well as on protecting more vulnerable wildlife that they come into contact with. The day was created by the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

It has been observed annually on August 8th since 2002.

Why Cats Are Better Than Women   ( Ladies of the forum excluded of course )


1. Cats don't care how much money you have. Good cat food and a warm place to sleep and you are golden.

2. Cats do not understand the concept of breakfast in bed. Start opening the can or the bag of food and they are on the way.

3. Cats dislike chocolate, sneeze on flowers, and attempting to buy them nice clothes to wear will only make them strut away in disdain. They already have fur coats.

4. Cats don't worry about you hogging the remote control or whether or not what you are watching is "sensitive" enough. Use it as an impromptu back scratcher for them and you can watch sports or action flicks all you want. Although they may occasionally use it as an improvised mouse toy.

5. A cat will love you forever.

6. Cats don't care if you see other cats. Or even dogs, generally.

7. Cats don't wonder if you still love them. They know you do.

8. You can wear cutoff shorts and sneakers all you want, and a cat will not make any snide comments about slobs, sloppy attitudes, or holy clothing whatsoever.

9. If you decide to sleep in on a weekend instead of mowing the lawn, there is never any problem. Sleep is a concept well-accepted by all cats.

10. Cats don't care if you decide not to shave for a couple of days, or grow a moustache, whiskers being a normal part of their concept of beauty.

11. You can eat four cheeseburgers, four large fries, and a six-pack (or two) as many times as you want, and a cat will never look askance at you or start making rude "piggy" sounds while you do. Heck, they may even sit there and wait for you to pass along tidbits while you are doing it.

12. Cats don't care if you buy them presents on their birthdays, being generally unaware of birthdays or other such occasions.

13. Cats don't care if you remember their mother's birthday or if you make any disparaging remarks about the old battle-axe.

14. Cats don't try to borrow money from you.

15. Cats don't care about the car you drive. Heck, cats don't care about cars at all -unless you are bundling them off to the vet.

16. Generally speaking, cats are the ultimate optimists, never being the type to go crying over spilt milk.

17. Cats don't care about how many other cats you might have known in the past.

18. Cats don't get insecure if you talk about working with lots of beautiful cats that they don't know.

19. Cats don't sabotage your work clothes with perfume when you mention that you are scheduled for a business meeting where another cat will be present.

20. Cats don't go through your wallet or pockets after an important business meeting looking for the sudden appearance of previously-unknown phone numbers.

21. Cats don't go crying to their mothers when you forget some "important" occasion, like for instance your three-month anniversary.

22. Most importantly, if you have had such an incredibly difficult day that all you want to do when you come home is sit in front of the telly with a cold one, instead of bothering you with demands to 'talk about it', they just want to come over and curl up in your lap to join you.
