Penguins Rock!

April 25 is World Penguin Day, also known as Penguin Awareness Day, aiming to raise awareness about these flightless birds, to preserve their species and habitat so that future generations are able to see these remarkable animals.

For Caturday, my old friend King Sly was out the other day.

Henry Update:

Henry is eating regularly, sometimes even cleaning a bowl, and then demanding more.

He's getting food multiple times a day, even at 3 am when he squeaks into my sleeping ear.

I can always nap, but he needs to keep eating.

Tree Latin

 Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April in most of the U.S., to appreciate and care for trees.

Many organizations plant trees today.

Trees are crucial for our environment: produce oxygen, provide food and habitat for wildlife, reduce or eliminate soil erosion, and provides mental health benefits through urban green spaces.

We need them!

Learn more here: Arbor Day Foundation.

Tree in Latin is arbor.

Kensington Metropark, Shelby Township Michigan

Silver Maple, in Eastside Cats yard, Mount Clemens Michigan

Quickstad Park, Royal Oak Michigan

I love parks, especially because of the trees.

Henry Update:

A bit listless on Thursday, but he's eating.

HUGE amounts of deposits in the litter box, mostly peeballs.

He's got runny stool, which will hopefully dry up soon, as we attempt to settle down his intestines.

Dragony Bard

April 23 is National Talk Like Shakespeare Day, Dragon Remembrance Day, and World Book Day!

And maybe something else, but I've run out of space.

How 'bout Shakespeare quotes about dragons for your entertainment, and then a dragon reading a book?


O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
~ Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene 2

Come not between the dragon and his wrath.
~ King Lear, Act I, Scene 1

This Marcius is grown from man to dragon: he has wings; he’s more than a creeping thing.
~ Coriolanus, Act V, Scene 4

What a terrific day!

 ❤️ Shakespeare ❤️ 
❤️ Dragons ❤️ 
❤️ Books ❤️

Henry Update:

He gets a wad of meds at 8 am, another at 8 pm, and a capsule of probiotics goes into breakfast #2 bowl.

Henry is doing a great job of eating!

Today, Friday, is day 4 in this round of meds.

Grateful, oh so grateful, for your purrs and prayers.


❤️❤️❤️
