Black cat day

Happy National Black Cat Day!

Today Zoe is celebrating her blackness. In honor of Italian black cats, she spent the day sipping fine coffee, licking up bowls of gelato and ofcourse wearing a tiara.

“As part of a feline image makeover, an Italian animal protection group has organized a celebration to be held Saturday in large Italian cities including Milan and Rome. The events are aimed at countering this societal prejudice and will include art exhibitions celebrating black cats, outdoor bring-your-own-black-cat gatherings and picnics, and award ceremonies for people who have protected black cats.”

I can’t imagine the chaos of a large outdoor gathering of black cats, or cats of any color. Plus, I think Zoe would be of the opinion that instead of my receiving an award for protecting a black cat, she’s the one who should get the award for being a black cat.

p.s. Thanks for checking in on me. I’m still alive, having survived earthquakes, injury, and a visit from my parents. More on all of that soon!
