Happy Everyday

Mistreatedbycs — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 11:54:29 GMT

I truy believe someone or some organization started everyday as

a "special day". Happy Donut Day, Happy Pizza Day, Happy Coffee Day etc.

Just a marketing ploy and it's just not a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday anymore, I just want a day any day without being what it is.

Today is Oceans Day, so who declared that?

Let's go back to everyday just being an ordinary day.

@Mistreatedbycs Reminds me of the lyrics of The Very Merry Un-Birthday Song from Alice in Wonderland.

I respectfully disagree with the OP. I think these celebratory mentions are fun ways to brighten up the days or make us aware of the environment around us. If one dosen't like them, just ignore and move on.

I wish we could have ordinary months. Get tired of _____ being the focus over and over again in so many places (ads, talk shows, products...).

I think each day being something other than a day--is really fun--my faves are---talk like a pirate day and may the 4th be with you!!!

Makes me smile

For me, "every day" is a happy day, because I am still here. Who started "annual XYZ day" isn't anywhere in my mind. Many seem to enjoy them, so i say, "what the hay"!

Marketing? Right now many businesses need whatever can increase their bottom line, along with employees. If a certain day does that, I see it as a good thing.

Like more important things in life, I don't concern myself with things I cannot control.

Some of these special days are trivial, but today is World Ocean Day which is a big deal for me (and should be for everyone.) The oceans and all the creatures who live in them, and depend on them, deserve all the help and attention they can get.

The oceans are another thing we humans have messed up badly.

We lost 2 of our black cats a few months ago. One of them was a tuxedo we had to euthanize because he was having seizures about every 5 minutes. He was 17 years old.

Our black cat's sister we had to euthanize a few weeks prior to that because of a years long urinary issue, she just was wasting away. She was this black cat's sister, who we brought in from being born on our property. One morning several weeks later, I checked on them and I found her dead on the floor in my wife's bedroom. She was the healthiest of them all and we believed she died of a broken heart from losing her sister.

The 3 we have left are all black with small white spot high on their chests. One is the mother of the tuxedo we had to euthanize.

She and the other 3, which included her son, were all 4 in my wife's bedroom. Now she is all alone. She is stubborn and small, thus her name, Tiny. She puts up with Lily, our dog, but only 1 of our other 2 cats.

He is our youngest 1 and likes to play, she does not. He is the one that bit me a few years ago and put me in the hospital with Cellulitis for over 7 days. We are afraid he may bite her if she jumps on him. So!!!!

What great pictures of your beautiful cats. Looks like 3 different Tux's and the all black? Those 3 sure have some distinctive markings which really are unique.

Will see if I can remember Black Cat Day in August. Thanks for the info and pix of your beautiful furry ones.

Sorry to hear of all your recent losses. I know how much it hurts as I had to euthanize my black and white Tux a few months ago too.

I wasn't going to get another cat, but when the possibility started to cross my mind again I had my heart set on another Tuxedo. But a tiny 2 lb grey and white tabby needed me more, I guess. So he's my latest addition.🤷‍♀️

@Spurt

Your Tuxies are beautiful. Are they related? How fortunate you are to have such lovelies in your life.❤️

(Mine resembled the one in your first photo. He was a very cool cat.)

@hckynut

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of several of your beloved kitties...the one that lost her sister and died of a broken heart really touched me....😿 Cats are such special friends, they bring so much joy and comfort to our lives and its so difficult when they pass on....but we have precious memories to cherish to help ease the pain and we will never forget them.........................

The black cat is my sister's...he showed up at her doorstep when it was 100 degrees, he was thirsty and hungry, he was pretty beat up too, had a lot of scars...this was right after she had to have her long time cat euthanized, and she swore she wasn't going to get another cat, well he won her heart and he turned out to be quite a handsome dashing fellow----very comical---he stares at himself in the mirror, loves to watch cartoons, he steals her Fit Bit from her nightstand drawer, and when he wants attention he knocks the artwork down from the walls....He's quite a clown...

My cats are the three Tuxedos---none of them are related---all rescues!!! They dont really get along, they just tolerate each other. The one on the coffee table is a hunter, Catia (if a lizard ventures on to the fenced in patio it's a goner---best June Bug hunter too), the one in my avatar is my sweet and gentle Puddy Cat....The one with the bird is Figaro--she's a diva and in charge!

Like someone else said, although they have been assigned a special day---EVERYDAY IS CAT DAY! 😺
