Paw-in-Claw

June 19, 2026 is the start of the traditional Chinese holiday, The Dragon Boat Festival.

Activities include praying for good luck, eating rice dumplings, and taking respite from the summer heat with dragon boat races.

To me, dragons and cats go paw-in-claw, and I'm not the only one; here are a few pieces of art found on social media:

This means that summer is just days away!

YAY!

🌞🏖🌅

Happy Dragon Boat Festival, all.

They changed our lives, and put our feet on the path as furrever cat adorers!
Miss you, my babies.
