4th of July Blast

July 4, 2011 / 9 Comments

If you love cats, sharing makes us purrrr :-)

This a holiday edition of Mondays with Merlin. An abbreviated version. Call me a curmudgeon but I’m not sure about this 4th of July thing. First of all, I’m Canadian even though I live in NOO Yawk. I don’t like BBQ or don’t get me started about fireworks. That whippersnapper Odin might like seeing the sky lit all technicolor, but I’m too old for that kind of racket. But I’m a good sport so I’ll drape myself in the stars and stripes. Us mancats gotta do what we gotta do. I’ll have mustard on my dog and hold the mayo.

On this 4th of July, have a blast but too loud, eh?

I am so not into fireworks either. I walked all over the Woman for a few hours after they went off last night–up and down. Ah well–Happy Fourth

WE all feel the same way Merlin. Thank Cod we live in the country and don’t usually have any fireworks too close. Hope you do have a special treat of some sort this Fourth of July. We do need to celebrate our independence. Take care.

I think for most cats, this is probably their least favorite holiday (although I wouldn’t be surprised if Odin turned out to be the exception!). Neighbors were shooting off fireworks for a long time last night, and Allegra was very unhappy. Ruby, on the other hand, was sitting by the window trying to see where all the commotion was coming from. She and Odin would make quite a pair.

Happy 4th to all of you!

  Happy 4th! There were really loud fireworks last night which terrified poor Domino who hid under the porch.
