The ocean only half as deep

In honor of Black Cat Appreciation Day, Autolycus is appreciating his catnip mouse and the Big Dill.

(Hestia declined to contribute her picture, being too busy rabbit-kicking the feathers off her own mouse under the summer kitchen table.)

Oh dear. I did a lot of black cat appreciation yesterday, and gave Ninja treats (Nuit is allergic and doesn't even want them any more, having stolen her brother's and ejected them immediately enough times to learn something). I'll have to go downstairs today and appreciate them formally. I expect to be snubbed -- they are fond of me, but I am not as good as Lydy or David -- because they can always tell when you have something in mind yourself rather than planning to acquiesce in what they decide. Ninja will come around, and Nuit may or may not. She is fonder of mugging me when I'm taking my clothes out of the dryer and having an Extreme Petting Emergency in a Siamese Voice all over the top of the dryer.

Autolycus looks remarkably boneless, I mean more than a cat ordinarily would.

Fortunately, cats can be appreciated in all seasons, even with a frequency of more than once a day.

Aw!

When I have my computer set up at a desk that Hestia can access, she often leaps up and demands petting when I am trying to do anything else, and when we had the cats briefly on the sun porch a few days ago so that spatch could shop-vac the summer kitchen, I was charmed and touched that when I sat down at my mother's computer, suddenly I found a Hestia beside me.

Rob has been known to call him the Teddy Bear Cat.

Aw, he is a cat worthy of appreciation indeed! ♥

Aw, he is a cat worthy of appreciation indeed!

And he knows it, so we have raised him right.

I think black cats should be appreciated on any day! :o)

I mean, in this house they are!

I think Spatch on Twitter remarked that Autolycus (or perhaps Hestia) is eager to remind us that yesterday, tomorrow, and today--and a repetition of that pattern was implied--are ALL Black Cat Appreciation Day.

I heartily concur/submit! There cannot be enough appreciation of black cats.

It's so very true.

Thank you for lending your vote!

Black Cat Appreciation Day always makes me so happy.

His coat looks delicious, like dark fudge!

It produces pictures of such appreciable cats.

I love that!

It is very plush, too.

(Do you have pictures of Andromeda?)

I should snag some from TL.

She was a little black cat but she had a patch of white fur under her chin and another on her spay scar, for equal opportunity shedding.

What an excellent void cat! :D

He is appreciably beautiful.

(I'd better go and half-appreciate Dorian.)

When is Dorian's other half officially appreciable? (Are there other cat appreciation days?)
