I’m knee-deep in a shit show today folks.
You see, I’ve been all wrapped up in Halloween shenanigans and my gal pal Amanda just called my attention to one of the biggest holidays of the year. It’s National Cat Day.
I cannot believe I didn’t know about it (and I’m sure my eyes will be clawed out immediately upon my arrival home from work today) as I’m a raging lunatic over my cat Ted. He’s the yin to my yang. The side to my kick. The “me” to my “ow”. And frankly today, I’m fucked.
So in a dire attempt to make my pussy a little less unhinged at my failure as a cat mom, may I present you with an ode to the best bear on the planet…
Ahem.
Oh Ted you bring so much joy and good cheer,
Even when your piercing looks could kill.
Always a sport when I dress you up,
You never lose your cool when the costume F’s up.
Cinco de Teddy was our highlight this year and
while I was sure we had matching sombreros,
I’m pretty sure you were trying to figure out
how to pierce my heart with an arrow.
Bunny ears aren’t your favorite as you made very clear,
So I made you a pirate, in which (I kinda think) you revered.
Today is your day and in honor of you,
I will break out my finest kit cat attire.
And I’ll be sure to slip your favorite tie on-
before you try to murder me by hire.
The night will be yours to do as you please.
Whether it includes Skinny Pirates, shots of Jell-O,
or your favorite vino to help you chill and be mellow.
Celebrate you we will with all kinds of fun,
As my Earth tends to revolve around your sun.
And I’m begging you to believe me when I say,
I will never, ever again forget this day.
Happy Teddy Bear Day to all of our feline furiends!

You are right up there with Walt Whitman, or Dr Suess. I’m not sure which.
Ha! Probably closet to Dr. Seuss….maybe?!
Hmm… I can’t remember if Dr Suess used skinny pirates in his rhymes.
HA! I’m going to search until I find some proof!
This sounds like product sampling will be involved.
OMG, the bee outfit :). TB’s face is saying, please no more holiday costumes. I like your t-shirt. I need one.
I found the t-shirt online – I’ll see if I can find the link.
And TB is SO over holiday costumes….to bad for him. Christmas is just around the corner!
He’s so gorgeous, and deserves to be honoured, but he already knows that. 😀
Have you met Mr. Bear? Because it certainly sounds like you know him! 🙂
Beautiful cat! Cats are the best!!
Thank you so much – Teddy thinks he’s pretty beautiful, too. But of course, that’s just him being a cat. Appreciate the love!
The pirate picture is TOO CUTE!
I about needed an eye patch forever after the photo shoot!
The “me” to my “ow”. LOOOOOOOVE it meowry much!
It’s so true! 🙂
Love all of the costumes!
This cray cray cat lady thanks you, my dear!
What a fantastic day you had with Mr. Bear, I saw it from the last photo…..you both had twinkles in your eyes 🙂 ! Love the picture of Ted and his favorite tie, it’s so funny and cute !
The tie is definitely Teddy’s favorite look. And we twinkle in our eyes because we love each other so…at least I love him. You can never tell with cats!
Hahaha, that’s why they are so lovable 🙂 !
Most of the looks on Bears face are of the, “Oh Lord what I put up with,” variety. 😉
Yeah, you nailed his looks alright. You should have seen his face as I was chasing him around with his Halloween giddy up in hand…priceless!
LoL.
After such a fantastic ode (and judging from Teddy’s facial expression when he saw his BIG glass of wine), I think you are out of the “doghouse” 😉
I was out of the doghouse! Until I put TB in his Halloween costume for a run through last night….then all hell broke loose.
