but I am NOT amused
Have you ever just walked by a cat, quickly glanced at him, and then felt a sort of chill run up your spine?
Just kidding! This is little brother practicing to be an alpha cat.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Dear Friends, Pirate cat from the cheezeburger crewe!
I first got this notice from my friend over at Spitty Speaks.
If not for my blogging friends, I swear I would miss half the great holidays we cats have to celebrate. But, AAAAR and AVAAAST! We have no costumes in this house. So how does a proper mouser dress?
OK. I am getting up to speed. Now the only way I can begin to meow like a pirate is to translate some genuine pirate speak from the human pirates. Here are a few choice phrases from Captain Slappy, Talk Like a Pirate Day: \"Slappy\'s Random Phrases\" you might want to learn. Just be careful not to wind up with whiskers entwined in your teeth.
After listening to various recordings of pirate speak, it occurred to me that many of our households have a “Chatty Catty”. If you are so blessed, you might want to pay very close attention to the meowing today. Is there an inner pirate coming out?
Avast and ahoy, me hearties!
Fisher and crewe

Dear Friends,
I have gathered some myths about black cats and added my own myth busters. As you know, we cats have no silly myths about ourselves, no matter what color we show up in – so this is for the humans.
Myth: In the Middle Ages, black cats were believed to consort with witches, and bring bad luck to the villagers.
Myth Buster: Cats do not curse.
Myth: In North America, a black cat crossing your path is a bad omen and will bring bad luck.
Myth Buster: North Americans had ancestors from the Middle Ages whom they never really understood. They just associated them with bad luck, and as luck would have it, there were many black cats in the village.
Myth: In days of olde, black cats would spy for the witches and demons.
Myth Buster: Cats don’t tell.
A more up to date look at the issue:
A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere. – Groucho Marx
If a black cat crosses your path you should be honored that the cat noticed you at all. – Fisher Harris
For lots more information on black cats, please visit “Are Black Cats Really Bad Luck Charms?” presented to you compliments of Alfred and Little Cat B, who end their thesis with a most telling paragraph:
There are other creatures that have been said to look like black cats
and really cause misfortune, but they are supernatural in origin and it could
be that the people who originated the superstition saw these creatures
rather than a real black cat?
Helloooo….enough said.

Today is the 3rd Annual World Cat Day!
What is a Cat?
Gentle eyes
that see so much,
paws that have
the quiet touch.
Purrs to signal
“all is well”
and show more love
than words can tell.
Graceful movements
touched with pride,
a calming presence
by our side.
A friendship
that will last and grow -
small wonder
why we love them so.
