    That explains the July reference. Arlo’s just messing with Luddie.

    I know many negative people. I don’t need to prove it.

    I’m not sure how old Janis is, but I’m thinking around 1970 b.c. (before cellphones.) I kinda wonder how she survived that era.

    “Dog days” is a reference to Sirius, called the “dog star” because it’s in Canis Major, whose heliacal rising (rising with the sun) is in July. It’s very bright, and they used to think it added its heat to the heat of the sun.

    There is no cat constellation, but there is Leo the Lion. The bright star in Leo is Regulus. The heliacal rising of Regulus is in early September. Therefore, the cat days are in September.

    Old Farmers Almanac. Cat Nights are in August, A rather obscure old Irish legend said that a witch could turn herself into a cat eight times, but on the ninth time (August 17), she couldn’t regain her human form”. The term “cat nights” also refers to the idea that cats cry out with yowls that fill the night during this time

    I find Arlo’s logic rather compelling. I think I’ll spread it around and see if it catches on.

    A politician’s greatest asset, difficulty proving a negative.

    Why try to deny? People accept the Ides of March, and they don’t even know what ides are!

    We received 2 inches of rain so far this week, definitely not cat days of summer, unless it’s a catfish.

    You can prove a negative. It’s usually done by reduction to absurdity. You assume the positive, demonstrate that the positive leads to an absurdity which shows that the positive cannot be true, forcing acceptance of the negative.

    That’s what they tell people who say there’s no God. My take is seeing is believing and vice versa.

    The Cat Days will start in July in a comic strip on August 22? Apparently Ludwig not only does not only know that Cat Days are not a thing, but he can not read a calendar either.

    It’s actually “you can’t disprove a negative”, I think.

    The absence of evidence doesn’t mean the evidence of absence.

    You should Google The Dog Star (Sirius) and learn about the Dog days of Summer when Sirius appeared. Greeks believed plants withered, men weakened and women became more aroused.

    JJ, If the cats get wind of this you’ll have to be placed in witness protection.

    Given the worship of Bastet by ancient Egyptians, I would think that they probably designated a cat star and cat days.
