World Cat's Day...

... is today, February 17th ... at least in my home country.
So today my blog is devoted to my two little Puertorican amores, Fortuno (yes, he has the same name as Puerto Rico's current governor, but not for political reasons) or Lucky, the former jungle cat - and Carina, or Sweetie, the former airport cat.
Yes, they are both fully Spanish-English bilingual, including their names.

They love sharing their cat bed , especially when it is freshly laundered, still warm from the dryer and generously sprinkled with cat nip.


Otherwise Fortuno, a male that he is, loves to nap his days away in my recliner. However, unlike most other males I know (including Rascal, who can appropriate my entire bed, stretching across it!) Fortuno leaves enough space for me, to share the recliner with him. A generous, friendly cat!


Sweetie, or The Sweetest Thing in the World on the other hand, not always deserves either her name or her nickname. Once I found her in my refrigerator and now... what are you doing in the garbage bin, Sweets?? This is not a place for a well behaved kitty, you know...

Yeah, she knows, but she does not care...

What is it about cats that make them adorable! Garbage cans, laundry baskets, the softest tallest pile of pillows and blankets. Have you had them swing on towels hanging on the line? Great fun. They are soft little sacks of guts that give us companionship and hours of amusement!A world cat day? I never heard of that. katrina

Happy World Cats' Day, Fortuno and Sweetie, you are very lucky, and bare a strong resemblance to Tom Dick and Harriet, minus the luxury accommodation of course, shhh, I shan't show them this post, I'll never hear the end of it.....

Great pictures. I love the one of the cat in the garbage can. I came into my bathroom one night and found Princes sleeping in the bathroom sink. They have a king size bed they could sleep on and they choose the sink.

Thank you all very much in the name of my cats. :-)
Jeff, Sweetie and Tuno, both like the bathroom sink, as well. Go figure:
it's usually wet and it might be cold - not a place you'd think a cat would love.
