National Cat Day

I am a dog lover and not much of a cat-loving person.  In my youth, we would have at least 3-5 dogs roaming inside the family compound.  At some stage, we had nearly 10 dogs.  We gave them some cool names like Waray, Pepsi Cola, Coca-Cola, common ones like Brownie, Blackie, Whitie, and my all-time favorite, Spot.  He was my constant companion, as we would sit for hours outside my house, me gazing at the night sky (wondering what my future wold be), while he would gently snuggle beside me.  But coming to Aotearoa New Zealand and living in a rented house, makes it impossible to have a dog.  It was good that the landlord allowed us to have a cat, Ginger.  It's your day today and I'm getting to be fond of her now.
