When Irish Cats Are Smiling

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

We’re going shamrock green for St. Patrick’s Day. Mystery Miss leads the charge with an old Irish saying…

For fun things both feline and festive, there’s always Etsy.com. If you like the dapper look, then nothing says natty like Snoop Catty Catt.

If you like your cat art more primitive, you’ll love this black cat from Rabbithollowprins with an embroidered nose, wire whiskers and vintage button eyes. He has a shamrock around his neck and a grubby tag which states FEED ME I’M IRISH!

Need the purrfect doorstop or art for window sills or book shelf? Then this wooden hand-painted cat will bring the luck of the the Irish. This beauty made by an Irish woman named Frances who lives in the U.S.

It’s not an accident that we’ve selected only black cats. The Irish have always considered them good luck. In fact, an old Irish superstition states: if you kill a cat it brings 17 years of bad luck! If you haven’t already seen this funny youtube video with a lucky black cat, please do and…

May the road rise up to meet you,

may the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and the rain fall soft upon your fields,

and until we meet again,

May the luck of the Irish be with you today and every day! We’ll be sharing more of the “green” tomorrow that will have you smiling.
