Cat Beards and Flying Feline Fun
We have some fab fun scheduled next week for our Cat Wisdom 101 second anniversary and Odin’s Birthday Party. We’ll let other blogs focus on the Oklahoma and other global disaster. You know what you can do to help. If not, visit www.okhumane.org or www.petfoodpantryokc.org. Our philosophy is to think global but act local. When we take positive action locally it has a trickle all over effect.
The latest internet craze are cat beards and of course there’s a website CatBeard.com where you can see more outlandish examples. I see it as another way we’re becoming a cat crazy culture and that’s okay with us. Odin makes a lovely Santa beard on me. What do you think?
While writing an article on cats and flying for Petfinders (published today), I came across a vintage,1900 black and white photo of a bi-plane with Sparky the flyer’s feline mascot. He’s long passed to the wild blue yonder but I wanted to pay tribute and bring him to life by hand-tinting the photo. Many of you are celebrating a long holiday weekend and wish you blue skies!

I guess if I could ever get one of my cats to pose like Odin did, maybe I could try out a cat/beard image with me! I literally have thousands of pictures and not one of them will do! Have a wonderful holiday weekend with your furry gang!

I find the whole cat beard thing very odd, but also very amusing.

Can’t say we’re fond of the human with cat beard. We kitties deserve some respect. Do you think Sparky actually got to fly, or was he just the mascot? One of the kitties who lives next door to us is named Sparky. He is an orange tabby. Maybe he’s a descendant. Have a great weekend.

That is the BEST cat beard I’ve ever seen! The tinted photo is wonderful and just look at that brave kitty out on the nose of the biplane…..Sparky was quite a brave kitty. Can’t wait for Odin’s PAWTY next week.

I refuse to play into the cat beard meme – my human is frustrated! Ha-ha.
I am really impressed by Sparky!
