Happy International Hug Your Cat Day, Like That's Not Every Day
Depending on your cat!
Happy Weekend!
Today is International Hug Your Cat Day, which I think should be celebrated on every day ever, because hugging cats is great!
As such, your first post is something I have definitely posted here before, but which is a very good time always, and if you never saw it during its heyday … well, you’re welcome!
And, of course, here is the very classic cat massage video for those of you who would like to go a little bit further in your cat pursuits.
Also, for those of you who really just want to dance …. well, here you go! It’s a dance! A cat dance!
And since it’s International Hug Your Cat Day … it’s about that time. The time when i tell you that if you want your cat (or dog, or whatever else) to be a STAR, send me a pic at robyn@wonkette.com, with the subject line “Pet Pics” (I filter, otherwise I’m not going to see it, and make sure it is in LANDSCAPE mode. If you don’t know what landscape mode is, just google it. It means the picture is the long way rather than the tall way!

Tuna-Boy is no a hugger, nor am I. At best, he lays next to me and then I reach over and put my arm around him.
I am at the zoo this morning where they have just let the giraffes 🦒 out of the barn. Everyone was frisky and kicking their legs. The babby nursed for a minute. One giraffe paraded by the fence to show off it's spots. I will feed one in just a bit.
