I’ll also announce that I’ve received more than 50 black cat photos from readers, and will present them all as a special Black Caturday in two days, which happens to be Halloween.

Had to go look that one up and sure enough – this is cat day. There is also a World Cat Day in most of Europe – 17 Feb and 1 March in Russia. In case you want to mark the calendar.
Yes! More good news!

Four cat days in one year … and why not?
