Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for February 17, 2017

Today is National Caregivers Day.

Happy Caregivers Day Happy³ and all you other caregivers regardless of species.

Seconded! And Annie is a great caregiver as well.

Chesney, you are not very persuasive! Look, Annie is 10, she is going to school, how can she open a flower shop? Maybe you lazy cats need to come up with a business plan! Quick, up in the boardroom.

Way to sell those flowers! Keep it up!

Some roses for the Lady?

Oh dear, only 10 & sooooo wise & sweet!!!

When I got back on this morning and looked back at yesterday’s comments posted after I left, it occurred to me to wonder if cats would only live 6 or 7 years instead of 20 or more if they didn’t sleep at least 20 hours a day?

I have uploaded twelve pictures to the Ten Cats Fan Club on Facebook with copies on Photobucket. Enjoy.

A cute kitten post: I scrolled past six bad pictures before stopping on this one. It’s not funny, it’s a reminder of why we love our cats. The classic rock song “Spoonful” by Cream back in the 1960’s came to mind when I saw this picture. I hope you enjoy it.

a catitude post: hungry kitty grows impatient with his human. Come to think of it, aren’t cats always hungry when not asleep?

A cone of shame post: obviously, this kitty is a true friend.

A catitude post: a touching picture of a kitty and his human bonding. (censored for language – cats are such potty mouths!)

Back when goatcomix would let us post actual pictures here, there would be rabbit pics posted either by Happy, happy, happy or for Happy nearly every day. For our Ten Cats friend Happy Happy Happy: do you this that this kitty is up to no good?

Whenever anyone upstairs walks around, my cat stops what he is doing and stares at the ceiling in wonder.

This tabby has a new bestie. Oh, and by the way, you are now a cat owner. Congratulations.

A cone of shame post: This poor black kitty is not amused.

This kitty has been waiting anxiously in the window for his human to come home.

On a personal note (sorry trolls), I start my final prep for my knee surgery today. I stop taking daily multivitamins (no problem) and my arthritis pain medication and ibuprofen (BIG problem). Going to be an interesting week ahead.

Chesney – you belong on the loading dock.

Bad boy Chesney, bad bad boy

Wishing you all the best with your surgery BBear – thanks for adding to the fun here every day!!

Chesney, please think of what you are about to say before you say it….poor little 10 yr old Annie.

Praying that all goes well with your surgery BBEAR! >^..^<

Well my little Sweet Pea, Chesney, I am surprised that taking care of YOU hasn’t aged our little Annie many more years.

Great pictures today. :)

Good luck with the surgery bbear. We’ll miss your posting while you’re gone. :-)
