It's Caturday!

Henry, Henry, Henry, Henry!

That sweet face; he's so cute.

Used Prisma filters, turned them this way and that, and then created a collage.

Foreward

February 27 is National Retro Day: A day to celebrate nostalgia and past fashions/trends.

However...

*climbing onto soapbox*

Folks,

We will NOT turn back the hands of the clock.

We cannot recreate any society that once was.

I personally refuse to live in a backwards-facing political climate.

The present is current; the past is GONE.

Pull up your adult-ass britches and jump into the NOW.

Thank you.

*jumps off soapbox, hurts knee*

Oof.

Therefore, although old-timey styles and events are fun, let's get retro in another way.

Baby pics of MOI!

Okay, the hair looks the same, and I think I still have the pearls.

Pensive, solemn, quiet...nope, I grew outta that, and am wild, loud, and colorful!

The modern version that you all know and love, at a peaceful demonstration in 2025.

The sign I showed to passersby read: "The Whole World is Watching!"

TGIF, y'all.

😹😹😹

Lunch & Chat

Had lunch yesterday with my former co-workers.

We had a fabulous time; I miss each one, as we always had wonderful conversations!

However, I've saved up a bunch of work/employment memes to share, found on social media.

For your entertainment!

Am thankful to have these friendships.

Cats Getting Medieval

 Medieval monk illustrated manuscripts were a bit unspecific on the details of feline anatomy, yet our meme humorists didn't let that stand in the way of humor!

World Spay Day

World Spay Day in 2026 is February 24.

It's held annually on the last Tuesday in February.

Read more about World Spay Day at Doris Day Animal Foundation.

"World Spay Day advocates spaying, or neutering, advocating it "as a proven means of saving the lives of companion animals, community (feral and stray) cats, and street dogs who might otherwise be put down in a shelter or killed on the street." - Wikipedia

Let's Hop

Aww, C'mon Now!

I think there are a lot of us who feel this way.

Am tired of wearing my puffer coat, and how a hat smushes my hair.

Of having to wrap a scarf around my face in order to breath when outside.

Our snow shovels have rounded edges now, from being worn away on the sidewalks and driveway.

🥶🥶🥶

Let's Hop!

 

Life is Wild

February 22 & September 4 are National Wildlife Days.

Male Cardinal and Red-bellied Woodpecker.

A black morph Fox Squirrel selfie, from the hood of my car.

If we cannot help them, then at least let's not do anything that can hurt them.

However, I feel it's fair to give a cheeky squirrel a squint eye if it's chattering at me, or begging through my windscreen.

Heads, Whiskers, Paw

It's Caturday!

Seriously, can Manny and Chili Bruce get any cuter?

Am I or Are You?

For Thankful Thursday:

Looky looky!

Yes, that's Henry on the bed with me.

Sure, I'd picked him up and placed him next to me, then petted and smooched him.

After a sufficient length of time, I unhanded the lad, and he casually jumped down.

The goal is to have him pop up of his own volition; am pleased at how far he's progressed.

❤️

Let's Hop. 

Reflect

"Ramadan Mubarak" for those entering the first night of Ramadan today, February 18, 2026.

Ramadan is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, communal prayer, reflection, and community.

So I thought about my own self-reflection, and came up with the following:

That didn't go very well, with all due respect!

Let's Hop!

Horse

We mourn the loss of Ducky, at Just Ducky.

💔 Farewell, sweet Ducky.💔

 February 17, 2026 is Chinese New Year.

Since this is hard to read, I've transcribed it below:

2025 The Year of the Snake

The Year of the Snake asked us to shed what no longer fit.

To slow down.

To listen beneath habit and noise.

It revealed where we were living on autopilot. instead of truth.

This was not a year of rushing change, but of understanding why change was necessary.

Growth happened quietly.

Letting go was not an ending.

It was preparation.

~~~

2026 The Year of the Horse

The Year of the Horse brings movement and momentum.

Where truth was revealed, now we act.

This is a year of courage and forward motion.

Of trusting instinct over familiarity.

Of choosing freedom.

Clarity turns into action.

Confidence grows through movement.

The shedding is done.

Now, we run.

Let's Run and Hop!

Blem

It's PO'Monday!

Celestial Paddy O'Malley was blepping on February 15, 2014.

Let's Hop!

Bed Cat

It's Selfie Sunday!

Henry just had to show off that he was up on the bed.

He didn't jump but rather was picked up and snuggled, but he took it with good grace.

Plus, the sun lit up his wee sweet face.

Artified with my Prisma Hot Tea filter.

❤️ Love is in the air ❤️

For Caturday, we artified pics of our cats with Prisma, made a collage, then added their names.

Each cat has a piece of our hearts.
