Peyton’s National Cat Day

I had not realized that yesterday was National Cat Day, but, alerted to the fact by Jerry, and following his advice that “treats and catnip are even better”, I was able to arrange an impromptu celebration with Peyton, the Philosophical Cat. Fortunately, we had just harvested the catnip crop a week earlier, and while most of it was hung to dry in the basement, I had reserved a few fresh sprigs in the refrigerator, and was able to bring them out for Peyton’s enjoyment.

After ingesting a few leaves, she seemed to have achieved a heightened state of being.

    1. My first black cat, Guelfo, a tiny Siamesish thing, used to stand, back arched, on a pumpkin I had placed in the window. Classic Halloween kitteh pose.
