Terabith Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Today is National Black Cat Appreciation Day, which is lovely. And there's a Ginger Cat Appreciation Day, and a Tabby Cat Day, and a Siamese Cat Day, and a Tuxedo Cat Day. Plus a Drink Wine with Your Cat Day and a Take Your Cat to Work Day, which is not really a popular holiday among most cats. But there is no Calico Cat Appreciation Day. This is an abomination! 2 16 Quote
Jaybee Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 It's probably because that would be sexist. 1 3 Quote
Guest Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 As the “mom” of a lovely Tortie, I have to say I am also offended. Not really. But I’m willing to act outraged, too, for a minute, and then I have to move my complaint bracelet to the other wrist and stop complaining. 2 3 Quote
Drama Llama Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I want to know why there's not a "Drink ice tea with your dog" day. That would be my kind of day. 2 1 Quote
Pen Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I have a calico and a tortoise shell. Or possibly a regular calico and dilute calico. This seems very unfair, but at least not unfair as between the two of them. How sad if one got a special celebration and the other were Cinderella with nothing 🙃 (I’ve already messed up my no complaints day so much that another today hardly seems to matter.)

I’ve got one who is a big fat jerk and he really needs his own day. Obama, my tuxedo cat, is also a jerk. We named him when we thought he was just a playful, active, rambunctious kitten. He would be in favor of Cats Are Jerks Day. Sweet Scout, the calico, is sad that nobody appreciates her and her toothless gums and farts that smell faintly of cabbage. Quote

I know, put both in some black coal and celebrate them both as black cats... wait shouldn’t black cats day be on Halloween? Quote

Selkie Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I have two calicos who don’t get along because each one thinks she is Queen of the House. Calicos tend to get adopted quickly from shelters, so maybe that makes up for not having their own special day. 3 Quote

Her mother, who showed up pregnant and starving on our doorstep on Christmas Eve, was a Siamese. Genetics are weird. 1 Quote
mom2scouts Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I love black cats and have a couple, but I also have a new calico cat little sister, so I'll have to be offended with you. 1 Quote

Lady Florida. Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 As the one time mom of a calico I too am outraged! Also outraged as the current mom of a mask and mantle (bicolor) cat. Her stepsister the tuxedo gets a special day but she doesn't. 1 Quote
gardenmom5 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Does the kitten thinking it's fun to attack my toes count for celebrating cats are jerk day? Quote
Robin M Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 That's because they are appreciated everyday. 1 Quote
Terabith Posted October 28, 2020 Author Posted October 28, 2020 Calico cats should be celebrated with CUPCAKES! 1 Quote
Terabith Posted October 28, 2020 Author Posted October 28, 2020 The question is: on Calico Cat Appreciation Day, do I have to prepare fish flavored cupcakes for all the other neighborhood cats, or just for my own beautiful calico cat? What about her tuxedo brother? 1 Quote
Guest Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) So beautiful, @TechWife. We had a gorgeous longhaired black cat named Thor but he had to be put down due to kidney disease. I miss our ThorBear. He was such a funny guy. Edited October 28, 2020 by Quill 1 Quote

stephanier.1765 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 From my house. We tend towards black cats. We've had a number through the years even though presently we also have a tabby, a gray and white, and a black and white as well. 1 Quote
