Hoof and Horn

"National Unicorn Day on April 9 each year celebrates the mythical horse-like creature with a single, pointed horn growing from the center of its forehead.

The unicorn heraldry is emblematic of the Scottish heritage and a valuable artefact denoting the ancient beliefs and value of this magical creature."

Title: The Unicorn Rests in a Garden (from the Unicorn Tapestries)

Date: 1495–1505

Geography: Made in Paris, France (cartoon); Made in Southern Netherlands (woven)

Currently displayed at The Cloisters, New York City

Sometimes, it seems, we humans believe in the mythical more than we do facts.

 It's Twozday!

Manny and Chili Bruce seem to glow when on different blankets, or when in direct sunlight.

And sometimes, they look like one cat with two heads, or one head with two bodies.

Rollin'

It's PO'Monday!

Watch this, and understand how goofily loveable he was!

Dol dhan bhòrd-leabhar

Tartan Day is celebration of Scottish heritage and the cultural contributions of Scottish and Scottish-diaspora figures of history.

"Dol dhan bhòrd-leabhar" is Scottish Gaelic for Go To The Library (according to Google), as this week is National Library Week, which is always the second full week in April.

I love the library!

As has been mentioned in the past, I'd be without any money if I purchased all of the books that I've read recently!

I attend free lectures, and use the 3-D printer, and help with jigsaw puzzles.

I check out books, I use apps to get ebook and audiobooks.

Chat up a library worker when you are next in a library, and ask about what's new: you'll be amazed at what is going on there!

Choices, choices

It's Caturday!

I couldn't decide which of this images I liked best, so here are both.

Da Boyz, asleep on my legs...in MY chair, and prettied with Prisma.

Expanding

 Henry has begun to branch out in his exploration of his world:

#1 Peeping.

#2 Hiding in the linen closet

Here, he's stepped out to look nonchalant.

#3: Napping under the dresser.

He's now here all day.

Celestial Sweetie used the same location.

More progress for Henry, H.S.T.B.F.F.*

Am so very thankful for surprise b'day gifts.

A paper cat, with accessories like this birthday hat or sunglasses.

Lovely cat earrings.

A cat scarf and cat toys.
Y'all know where these came from...15andMeowing.com

My boss crocheted these three kitties for me:
Manny, Henry, and CB

See their cute tailios?

Manny has his underwear spot on his belly!

New Friends

While walking in the 'hood one day...

I was taken by surprise...by several cutie pies!

This is Zoomac, and he flopped at my feet and demanded attention.
I gladly gave it!
His tag fell off during the process, so I called the phone# and met Zoomac's human across the street, who assured me that he will flop for anyone.
That's okay with me!

Do you see the other doggo, through the fence posts?

Our friend Sly, first time I've seen him in several weeks.
He also demanded worshipping, but no flopping for my boyfriend.

This is Feather.
Our neighbor just TNR'd her, so no kittens for this wee one, and being a kitten herself, she was named Feather as she's as light as air.
My goal: make friends with Feather.

Cheeky-edited

Very disturbing news arrived yesterday, Monday March 31:

Happy Cat Sanctuary has burned; devastating loss of life:

Deadly fire at Happy Cat Sanctuary on Long Island under investigation; one dead

It is reported that Owner Chris Arsenault was the victim, as well as many cats.

Our hearts are broken over this terrible incident.

At this point, Jaegers Run Animal Rescue is assisting with the immediate needs of the cats, as is Strong Island Animal Rescue League, if you'd care to donate.

😿💔😿

April 1 is April Fools' Day, so let's be cheeky:

As a kid, we used to play tricks on our siblings, such as putting globs of wet tissue on the floor at bedtime, so bare feet would step on them.

As an adult, I've had a few tricks played on me, such as someone saying it's their birthday, but it's not.

Hope y'all have a laugh today.
