Cat World Domination Day

CAT WORLD DOMINATION DAY 2022

Cat World Domination Day: 10th Anniversary

I have been playing catch up most of the week, so it is probably no surprise that I am posting one day late for Cat World Domination Day. In order to recognize the special 10 year anniversary of this observance, Astrid is sitting on top of the world.

Cat World Domination Day: 10th Anniversary: Art rendering of a tortie cat sitting atop the world.

Cat World Domination Day was created by Janiss Garza in 2012 on the day her cat, Sparkle, celebrated her 10th birthday. Sparkle thought humans should acknowledge that cats were in charge. The creation of the holiday was a way to recognize that. Sparkle only got to celebrate the annual holiday three times. She passed away in August 2014, just two months after her twelfth birthday. Sparkle’s successor, Summer, from Summer’s Fabulous Cat Life as continued to celebrate and promote the holiday in Sparkle’s honor.

Caturday Art

I selected Astrid sitting on top of the world for our Caturday Art. I used the Ivy effect from Painnt to create it. She is participating in Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s Caturday Art blog hop. You can do the same by clicking on Athena’s badge.

Here’s you puzzle for the week.

120 World Cat Domination Day

Sunday Selfies Reminder

As Sawyer mentioned in yesterday’s post, he will be your host for Sunday Selfies tomorrow. I am certain you won’t want to miss the opportunity to join him. It is rather a significant occasion. All the Kitties Blue look forward to seeing you then.

BURSTING AT THE SEAMS POST

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday on Friday

We were so busy with thankfuls yesterday that I saved our poem for today. In fact, we are bursting at the seam with information today. Hope you can stay with us to the end.

I share the poetry inspiration photo for this week with apologies to Angel Sammy and Teddy. I did take a bit of “poetic license” and enhanced the photo just a teeny, tiny (19-pounds worth) bit.

Nom, Nom, Nom

This sandwich looks phenomenal,
And I am certain it is totally nom-able.
I can smell lots of goodies tucked inside:
Chicken, tuna, sardines, salmon
Cheese, trout, duck and bacon.
When I finish I’ll need a bromide.
But I ‘m dismissing heartburn as a consequence,
As my appetite is truly bottomless.
So step aside so I can take a bite.

If you’d like to try your paw at poetry, like Cooper Murphy, check out Two Spoiled Cats on Thursday for the following week’s inspiration photo. To go there, click on the poetry badge.

Commentathon

Before moving on to the usual Friday topics, I want to let you know how our commentathon turned out. Combining our comments on the Tuesday and Wednesday posts, we had 39. I rounded this up to $40 and purchased 40 votes for Kizmet in Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Superhero Sidekicks Calendar Contest. Kizmet had dropped from fifth to sixth and then eighth place in the contest, but the recent votes have pushed her back up into fifth place. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to HWAC by voting for Kizmet, click on the link.

Kizmet and I thank everyone who made a comment and those who made individual donations. We 💓 you!

Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #265

As we usually do, the Kitties Blue and I are participating in the Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop hosted by Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs) and Ellen (15 And Meowing). They post the sentence to be filled on their blogs on Thursdays, and participants post their fill-ins on Fridays. I had to ask for some assistance this week, and fortunately two of the Kitties Blue volunteered. We all used teal Italics for our fill-ins.

1. If I were one of the 7 dwarves, I would be Sleepy, as I never get enough sleep.
2. I think television is good and bad. It all depends on what you decide to watch.
3. Kizmet: No paws, butt or other body part on a human’s placement is a rule that I regularly break.
4. Sawyer: I can’t believe getting treats whenever I ask isn’t more popular.

Feline/Friendship Friday

Astrid is here today to join these two blog hops and show you that Kizmet is not the only “monkey” among the Kitties Blue.

If you would like to participate in the Comedy Plus Feline Friday blog hop and/or the Create with Joy Friendship Friday hop, click on the appropriate badge(s).

Prayers Please

Please send some prayers to our friend and yours, Angels Eric and Flynn’s mom, Jackie. You can stop by her blog, The Adventures of Eric and Flynn by clicking on the link. If you would like Jackie’s e-mail or snail mail address, you can get them from Ann (Zoolatry) at zoolatry@gmail.com.

Saying Good-Bye is Never Easy

A dear and special friend, Cat Scout Timmy, received his wings on Wednesday. His dad, Pete, will be posting about it today. When he does, please visit and leave your condolences at Tom Cat Commentary by Tim. Mom’s response when she found out was “no, no, no!” This has left us totally heartbroken. We will remember and honor Timmy on our Sunday Selfies blog hop.

Cat World Domination Day

Finally, the Kitties Blue and I must apologize to Summer and Angel Sparkle for missing Cat World Domination Day yesterday. We always participate, but with a birthday, anniversary and the Calendar Contest happening, it totally slipped our minds. Summer had a great party, and we hope you were able to attend.

Whether or not Kitties Blue had the opportunity to celebrate, they want to assure you that they dominate us every single day without fail. Dad Tom and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kitties Blue are joining our furiend, Summer, in celebrating Cat World Domination Day. Purrsonally, we know cats dominate the world efurryday, but if the world wants to give them a special day of recognition, I will help them celebrate and purrmote it.

If you are unfamiliar with this holiday, here’s a little history. It began in 2012 on the tenth birthday of Sparkle (Summer’s predecessor at SparkleCat). It was the idea of Sparkle’s human, Janiss, to create a holiday befitting Sparkle’s personality. Sparkle was known for providing advice on how cats could dominate the humans in their lives. And with that, Cat World Domination Day was born. You can see the blog post for the very first Cat World Domination Day at SparkleCat by clicking here. And don’t forget to check out today’s post to see what fun Janiss has cooked up for this year’s celebration.

EIGHTH ANNUAL CAT WORD DOMINATION DAY

Cat World Domination Day

Who are we kidding…our cats dominate us everyday. Nonetheless, Kitties Blue are joining Summer, Binga and Boodie as they celebrate this special day.

Sparks

Monday is when many of us share an inspirational quote with you, otherwise referred to as a Spark. Though we are celebrating Cat World Domination Day, I saw this sign on-line and knew I wanted to share it this week.

I will be the first to tell you that I’ve had and continue to have a terrific life and feel blessed and grateful each and everyday. The smiles and laughter, however, have been in short supply lately. So, I needed this and thought some of you might as well.

Sparks began as a blog hop, created by our friend, Annie (McGuffy’s Reader). Annie has been taking a “break” from blogging, so there is no hop. Unfortunately, during this break, Annie has been the victim of a hacker. This has continued to keep her off-line and caused her much distress. Please continue to send prayers to Annie and her family as they work to get their lives back to normal.And finally, the handsome and charismatic Cooper Murphy is here to join the Awww

Many of us believe in Annie’s vision: “If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!”

MAU’S CAT WORLD DOMINATION DAY SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #202

Today we are joining Summer, Boodie and Binga at the Cat World Domination Day party. Established by their angel sisfur, Sparkle, to be celebrated on her birthday, this special day is observed each year on June 24. If you click on the badge above, you’ll land at Sparklecat.com, where you can enter a giveaway for swag from both the BlogPaws and CWA conferences. When you’ve done that, pop right back here to join our Sunday Selfies blog hop.

Today Mau included Dad Tom in his selfie. He wanted to make certain everyone knew that he is top cat around here, today and everyday. (Some of the rest of us just might argue that!) Dad Tom serves as Mau’s personal cat recliner. He selected the billboard, as to his mind, it is a purrfect way to display his dominance to the world.

We all know that cats are in charge at all times and totally dominate their humans everyday, but we do enjoy having a special day to celebrate it. Thanks Sparkle!

CAT WORLD DOMINATION DAY 2017

Caturday Art on Cat World Domination Day

As today is Cat World Domination Day, I asked Mom to use this photo to show my domination over Lily Olivia. She cropped it down for the art, so I am making her post the original as well. She says it is blurry. Well, of course, it is. She took it! That’s why we are using it for Caturday Art.

No matter, I am in the top position, inside the sphere, and Lily is stuck on the lower scratcher/shelf. Ha, ha. I’m the dominate cat over the queen of the house.

Cat World Domination Day is really about the dominance of cats over humans. It was established by now angel, Sparkle, and coincides with her birthday. Summer, Binga and Boodie (SparkleCat.com) have continued the tradition of celebrating as has most of the feline portion of the blogosphere. So lets all get together today and demand that our humans think ONLY of us and cater to our every desire. In other words, treat today like you would any of the other 364!

Cat World Domination Day

So now that we have established that today isn’t just about my domination of Lily Olivia, we must jump back to our Caturday Art. To create this incredibly, arty photo of me, she started in LunaPic. She applied the Fire filter, followed by the Surreal Painting and Beveled Edge effects. The final step was to add the Yellowed Papyrus filter with AdornPic. She thinks the end result looks unfinished, but all the other effects and filters she tried added nothing to my beauty. Both Dad Tom and I told her to quit fiddling, and she finally listened.

Tomorrow we will be dedicating the hop to two friends who recently received their angel wings, Minko (Meezer’s Mews & Freckles’ Woofs) and Bilbo (Da DB Boyz, formerly Dory’s Backyard).

YOU
For Fiona

It seems like only yesterday…
You were just a kitten.
When I saw your pleading look,
I was completely smitten.

Now at only six years old,
You are getting ready to leave,
Soon you will have your wings.
I’ve already started to grieve.

You’ve fought hard for the past year,
And I’m not ready to say good-bye.
I can’t imagine you not in my life
I am so sad…today I had to cry.

I am grateful and blessed
For my six years with you.
You’ll live in my heart forever.
You’re one of the best ever Kitties Blue.

YESTERDAY

Many yesterdays have passed since
You gained your angel wings. Today
Is six months since you left us behind
To remember and mourn. Our hearts
Continue to hurt, and we miss
You as much as the day you left.
Giulietta whined from the catio
Yesterday as I worked in the yard.
I know you put her up to it. That
Was your way of getting me to,
Allow you to join me as I
Gardened. You were there with me
In spirit. With every meow
I thought of you and how much I miss
Your sweet face and disposition.
In these past few months, many friends
Have traveled your same path in your
paw-steps. I am certain you were
Waiting to greet them with purrs and hugs.
I pray you and your friends are laughing,
Frolicking and having fun together.
Picturing that makes me smile, but
Does not lessen my sadness at your
No longer being here to snuggle
And receive our love, care and kisses.
Fiona, please do not ever forget
You are still and always will be loved.

ONE YEAR MISSING YOU

One year has passed since you flew away,
And I still think of you everyday.
I see your sweet face in my mind’s eye
And wish we’d never had to say good-bye.
It’s nice you’ve sent us kitties needing a family,
But my dearest love, we are now at capacity.
You thought it would take more than one cat
To take your place in our habitat.
We love Cooper Murphy and baby Sawyer dearly
But thinking either could replace you makes me teary.
You were one-of-a-kind and will stay in my heart
Until the day I join you and we’re no longer apart.
When once again I can hold you in my arms
And revel in all your love and feline charms.
Together with you and all who have passed.
I will spend eternity contemplating how blessed
I was to share my life with my furry children,
Each and every one of you one-in-a billion.

UNTIL

I miss you each day.
Until we meet in heaven,
The pain will remain.

ONE OF A KIND

I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.
