Today is Veterans Day, and I’m honored to hand it over to my cute little furry friend Daisy the Curly Cat, who has a great Veterans Day outfit on, along with a nice piece about this special day over on her blog.
I am wearing my most patriotic outfit, because today is a special holiday where we honor all of our military veterans. Here are some things I learned about this day:
It was in 1938 that Armistice Day was enacted as an official American holiday. But eventually after WWII, citizens felt that the veterans of all wars should be recognized, not just those of WWI. So in 1954 Congress changed the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. In America, the holiday now celebrates the approximate 2.9 million U.S. veterans with parades and ceremonies among other events.
Thanks for the great info, Daisy, and for the beeyootiful pictures!

A dog sent this to me. I have not tried it yet with Tailer. I am a little skeptical. But here you have it:
How to wash a cat:
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a ‘power-wash and rinse’.
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely, The Dog
Ed. note: This is, I do believe, a joke. Do not attempt this at home. ;-)
Here’s a clip about the show–you can see Guido at the 00:13/00:14 mark. Go Guido! (If the video doesn’t appear in your feed reader, you can watch it here.)
This is perhaps the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. SRSLY. It’s not just the concept of a plus-size cat trying to fit into an empty box, it’s the way that he tries to get in there. Like–head-first, leg-open sliding and stuff. Crazy ridiculous.
Trust me. Take a couple minutes and watch this one. At least once. ;-)
This just goes to show how much fun a cat and some tiny goldfish can have together. See? They’re getting long, they actually LIKE each other. (Worth noting, however, is the fact that the clip is only 14 seconds long. What happens from the 15th second on is perhaps not so snuzzy…)
This is from a really funny honey called The Cat Realm:
After the fabulous Halloween party in New York we decided to take Asta and her friend Lacie out for brunch at Asta’s favorite restaurant Pastis . We had forgotten to bring a change of clothes so we are still in our costumes, hahahahahahahaha!
Karen and Skeezix were kind enough to send these over to me just now. They’re pretty amazing! A couple of them are ones that I’ve seen before, but laughed just as hard this second time around…
