Priceless! And may you have snatched all the Ham an hour before the People know it’s gone!Happy St. Catty’s Day everyone!

Happy Saint Catty’s Day to one and all!

Happy St. Catty’s day everyone!

“May the Road Rise Up to Meet You.” I’ve always loved that song.

Happy St Catty’s Day to one and all.

Many, many years ago (when I was in my 20s), I had a cat that was born on March 17th. I named him Shamre. He was orange and white. Nothing phased him. He was as laid back as they come.

My sister offered to take care of him for me once when I was living in a place where I couldn’t have pets (I moved as soon as I could). Her husband brought home a dog that was a known cat killer while they were taking care of my cat.

Shamre would walk up to that dog when he was being fed, rub against his legs, and eat his food right under his nose. The dog didn’t know what to think.

Nice touch, having the green-eyed cats in the last panel!

St Patrick – who shares this feast day – was Welsh.

The idea of the furniture rising up is quite disturbing. Particularly if it is rising up in rebellion.

One to honor the Robber Mice:

Some Guinness was spilled on the bar room floor, when the pub was shut for the night. Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse, and stood in the pale moonlight, He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor, then back on his hunches he sat. And all night long you could hear him roar! ‘Bring on the gosh darn CAT!’

According to the closed captions on the local news, it is St. Pet Rocks Day!

Happy St Catty’s Day

When Irish cats are meowing

Sure, it keeps us wondering:

What are these felines after —

Is it treats? or bits of string?

When Irish cats are happy

The whole house feels bright and gay

And when Irish cats a purring

Sure, they steal our hearts away!

Happy Saint Catty’s Day!

Time to listen to Irish feline drinking songs. I have two albums: Marc Gunn & The Irish Dubliners’ Tabby Cats – Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers and Whiskers in the Jar. I have When Kitty Eyes Are Smiling queued up, then What Shall We Do with a Catnipped Kitty.

Green is my mom’s favorite color, and we’re also of Irish heritage. There’s always a reason to wear green! (shows off the green polo shirt she wore to work yesterday)

Happy St. Catty’s Day!! ❤

Liam Neeson has a funny bit about pronouncing Irish names on Stephen Colbert, March 16. It starts about 1:40 in:

A very happy St. Catty’s Day to all!

Pass the soda kibble!

The smol cat is disturbingly fixated on lava.

By Cat’s toe beans – Happy St. Catty’s Day!

Very cute, but I was hoping the snakes would have a cameo appearance today too.

Love Ora’s praying paws. And both eyes closed!

An Irish Encore: Moggy Malone

In a Rhode Island town,

Where the cat love abounds,

There once was a stray cat named Moggy Malone,

She roamed through the village

Stray cats did she visit,

And she spread the message “You’re no longer alone!”

…….

No longer alone,

No longer alone,

You have a friend and you’re

No longer alone!

…….

One day Freddy Quinn

Took dear Moggy in

And soon Moggy found her

New furrever home!

And still to this day,

Moggy visits the strays

And leads them to Freddy’s

No longer to roam!

…….

No longer alone,

No longer alone,

You have a friend and you’re

No longer alone!

“Oh, Pucky Boy, the bacon, the bacon is calling,From ham to ham all down the kibble-side!”

Happy St. Catty’s Day!

Thank you, Georgia, for including toe beans as part of your Irish Cat Blessing! May you never run out of clever ideas for the magical world of BCN.

Well, it is St Gertrude’s Day – Patron Saint of Cats

Read the last line…there is now coffee, all over my night shirt…

It is also St. Gertrude’s day, the patron saint of cats!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Ora Zed: So how do you get the gold for kintsugi?

Sophititi: There’s plenty of gold in the treasure room by the library. Iron Glove grinds it up and mixes it with adhesive.

Ora Z: Ooh, I’d like to see him grind the gold!

Soph: I think that could be arranged. But be careful.

Ora Z: What’s careful?

Soph: Just do what Iron Glove says to do.

At the Treasure Room

Iron Glove: Ora, can you help me gather some gold?

Ora: No problem. I’ll just zip right around here. Oh, who are you?

Leprechaun: I’m Trish O’Doyle, and this is my bro, Duffy.

Iron Glove: I remember you from last St. Catty’s Day. How are you?

Duffy: Can’t complain. We thought we would pay a visit and add some gold to our pot.

Enter Elvis-Anum

Elvis: Not so fast you guys! You’re not taking any gold!

Trish: But they said we could come for gold any time!

Elvis: Not without visiting Thomios for tea and scones first!

Is this the year that the Woman going to be serving the meat that smells like socks?

Bonus points: Find the 4-leaf clover

no, just kidding, there actually isn’t one (unless one is really, really well-hidden)

I lava how O.Z got that saying wrong! ; )

The second wish sounds good to me. I might have to wait until Sunday, but I will give it a shot. I do like seeing Puck and Elvis at the anchor desk.

And while celebrating St. Catty’s Day is of prime importance, I do not want the day to pass without linking to one of the funniest strips I have ever read:

https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2018/03/18

Georgia put a joke in EVERY panel. It is amazing. I have this strip hanging on the wall of my office during March.

Well, Holmes just spent $12,654.57.

I’m not kidding. He jumped onto my desk while I was working and flopped down. His right rear paw hit the ENTER key, and off went the PO I was working on but had not finished with.

I seriously doubt that the little orange daemon has enough money to cover his purchase. How do you tell your Boss that it wasn’t me, my cat sent the PO in?

Actually it’s st Gertrude Day.She is the patron saint of cats and March 17th is her feast dayBut celebrating the patron st of Ireland give a person a better excuse to spend the day drinking Guinness and whisky

Happy St. Gertrude’s Day. Saint Gertrude is the patron saint of cats and gardeners.

and a Happy St Cats Day to you all!

Love “Faith and angoras!”

Have we forgotten the persecuted snakes?

Today is, in fact, the feast day of St. Gertrude of Nivelles who is the patron saint of cats. Not making this up. She was a crazy cat lady. Give her a look.

But is it not St. Cat Rick’s day? Or St. Pet Rick’s day even?

Ora’s smol paws perched on Lupin’s head makes me go “Awwwwww.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and St. Gertrude of Nivelle’s day to everyone!

OT: Posters/Orbsters I’ve not seen for some time

May everyone have a wonderful St. Catty’s Day!

Hoppy St. Catty’s Day! May the hops be with you! (That should cover the other feast day, too …)

Happy St. Gertrude’s Day (Patron Saint of Cats)

St Catty’s Day on a FriYay! This can’t be bad. Well, unless one is out on the roads when the bars close. If you’re going out and celebrating the day, please, please either take a cab home, or use a designated driver (a/k/a ‘gooney bird’).

Georgia, I really really hope you’ll recycle that blessing on every future St Catty’s Day.

Today is the day when we celebrate St. Cattrick, who chased all the laser pointers out of Ireland.

It’s also St Gertrude’s Day. The patron saint of cats and those who love them.

Are cats concerned with making friends?

St Patrick’s Day for me. Too bad it’s going to be boiled dinner instead of corned beef and cabbage. Don’t care that corned beef if in the boiled dinner, there are some veggies that don’t go into the pot for corned beef and cabbage that makes the dish a boiled dinner instead.

A toast to all the cats, people, & other life forms in the Mega-Orb!

Today is also Saint Gertrude’s Day and she is the patron saint of cats. Happy Saint Gertrude’s Day Orb!

HAPPY ST. CATTY’S DAY!!

Happy St. Catties Day.

From Georgia: "The Boy and Girl left out some pretty elaborate leprechaun traps this year! The Boy took pieces of his “Invisible Man” (a gift from The Nana) and hung decoy leprechaun bones from his laundry basket. Creating “a cavern of ruins,” above a bowl of his treasures as bait. The Girl taped up a paper plate zip line leading to a gift bag filled with sticky tape. (The Boy stood on a stool and helped her taping the string to the ceiling. He is getting so tall!)Ora Zella showed up just after bedtime to get into the flour they sprinkled around one of the traps, in the hopes of seeing leprechaun footprints. “Ora Zella, NOOOO!!” No luck trapping a leprechaun this year! They were too crafty once again. However, the leprechauns rewarded the Boy and Girl with a plate of candy. Happy St. Patrick’s Day and happy St. Catty’s Day, too!!!

I wish I could cut back on the naps! So much wasted time! At least when you are a not-enough-time-in-the-day person. Problem is I eat supper and—— crash!

Snakes.https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2019/03/17

May those who love us, love us

My those who don’t love us, may God turn their hearts

And if He doesn’t turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles

So we’ll know them by their limping

In truth it IS Saint Catty’s Day! Better known as Saint Gertrude’s Day, she is the patron saint of all cats!

Time to listen to Marc Gunn’s albums about Drinking songs for Cat Lovers.

Awwww!
