Black Cats Rock!

Becky P October 22, 2018 No Comments

As I’ve mentioned at previous posts (see here http://beckypalmer.thecomputerguy.bz/2016/08/black-cat-appreciation-day/ and here http://beckypalmer.thecomputerguy.bz/2017/08/black-cat-appreciation-day-again/ ) Black Cat Appreciation day is on August 17th. As I’ve also mentioned many many times I currently share my home with three black beauties – Hershey, the geriatric, crabby one who hated me for years and now begrudgingly accepts my existence; Pumpkin, my sweet girl and “cover model”… Read more »

#RainbowBridgeRemberanceDay

Becky P August 28, 2018 No Comments

Almost all of us have fold memories of a pet who is no longer with us, so this is a day that can touch us all. There is a lovely poem, author unknown about a place called the Rainbow Bridge, essentially a heaven for well-loved pets. You can find it all over the internet, including here: https://www.rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm Deborah Barnes is a… Read more »

International Cat Day

Becky P August 8, 2018 No Comments

Today is International Cat Day! This day requires little explanation- today is a day for celebrating kitties! Cats are the most popular pet in the world. The sound of a cat’s purr has been shown to reduce stress in humans AND felines. If that isn’t a reason to love them over dogs I don’t know what is (no offence dog… Read more »

Hug your Cat!

Becky P June 4, 2018 No Comments

Even a first time visitor to Knotty Things will notice a feline motif. Even my logo, which I helped design, highlights my love of kitties. So, today I’m combining my weekly musings with my weekly fun holiday post because today is Hug Your Cat day! Now, there are some folks out there who do not believe that hugging a cat… Read more »

Pet Day

Becky P April 11, 2018 No Comments

Today is Pet Day! As you know from my posts (if not my logo), I love cats. I currently share my home with 3 black beauties- Hershey, Pumpkin (yes, she’s black) and Boots. All three of these fur kids came into my life in different ways- Hershey was my husband’s cat before he and I got married, Pumpkin came from… Read more »

Operation Add 3rd Cat Is a Success!

Becky P October 9, 2017 No Comments

It’s been almost 6 months since we welcomed Boots into our home and I’m pleased to let everyone know that Operation Add Third Cat is a success! No, we don’t have kitties holding paws and meowing Kumbaya together, but the hissing and the growling is virtually nonexistent and we’ve even caught all 3 of them sleeping on our bed together… Read more »

Black Cat Appreciation Day Again!

Becky P August 17, 2017 No Comments

It’s Black Cat Appreciation day today! Yes, I commemorated this day last year but it bears repeating. Black cats are the least likely to be adopted out of shelters and way too many people still fear them. I currently share my home with 3 black cats (And yes, they are getting along better all the time). So I can tell… Read more »

Operation Add Third Cat Update

Becky P July 3, 2017 No Comments

I’ve had quite a few folks ask me how things are going now that it’s been a couple months since we added Boots to our family. I am happy to report that for the most part things are going quite well. Boots and Pumpkin still aren’t the BFFs we’d (perhaps foolishly) hoped they would be, but they have learned to… Read more »

I am very happy to report that we have made amazing strides in the past week and we are well on our way to a happy 3 cat household! Boots (the… Read more »
