National Hug a Cat Day

Today actually celebrates three holidays in one.  Hug a Cat Day was our holiday of choice, but is also Applesauce Cake Day and Old Maids Day.  Somehow I find it fitting that Old Maids Day and Hug a Cat Day are the same day. :D

Our apartment complex does not allow pets, but we have a friendly neighborhood watchcat that lives in the forest that is our backyard.  We call her Squatch, short for Sasquatch.  Squatch is short and has absolutely no tail to speak of, but seems sweet.  Occasionally she leaves us carcases of small mammals and birds as a sign of her acceptance of us.  I figure she must think we are lousy hunters so she is trying to help us out.  If we can find her before the day is over we might be able to coerce her into letting us hug her to fulfill the requirement.
