Grateful Kitties & Slobberdogs

On Monday this week (Feb. 27), "Flat" Caulis III & V, along with my minions, drove to Martinsville, Indiana to deliver the pet food donations that Library patrons graciously provided last week for Cauli Le Chat Appreciation Day (Feb. 22).  There were many happy kitties and slobberdogs, thanks to the generosity of our patrons.  But they would be much happier if they could be adopted to good families and have nice homes.  Just saying.

"Flat" Cauli V, being even flatter than III (no cardboard backing), had to remain in the car because of the strong winds.  We didn't want V to become airborne!  Needless to say, "Flat" Cauli V was quite put-out.  But she was pleased with our mission and was glad we could deliver kitty and slobberdog food to those in need.

We may receive a few extra donations, which we will take either to MCHS or to a Mooresville charity that distributes food products to people with pets.

Thank You For Your Help, Patrons,

P.S.  "Lord, Help the Poor & Needy," by Cat Power (Chan Marshall), implores listeners to remember those less fortunate.  The song, which has a great blues feel, was included on the CD Jukebox (2008).  Cat Power is a cool name for an Indie rock band.

Yep. My Day. Appreciate Moi

Yep.  It's my day (Wednesday, February 22, 2012).  Let the appreciation begin!

Wild Thang will be giving out "kitty chow" during her early literacy programs this morning, and youngsters will receive an official Cauli Le Chat Pawtographed "Cub" Reporter Press Kit, along with a Cauli coloring page.  Wild Thang is having a contest to see who can best color moi (on paper; not actually my body being colored, like in that book I reviewed last April).

We've collected some canned cat food and dog food to donate to the Morgan County Humane Society, but more is welcome.  If patrons could drop off their canned donations at the MPL Circulation Desk, we would be most appreciative.

My pal Sparkle the Designer Cat mailed moi an appreciation card.  Actually, it was a Valentine card.  Want to see?

Claws come in handy to open envelopes

Sparkle personalized my Valentine card

That is so nice!  Thanks, Sparkle

Your card made my day, Sparkle.  I appreciate you, too.

Drop by the Library today to help us celebrate my special day.  Show your appreciation through your cat food or dog food donation to MCHS.  I'll be around outside, roaming the neighborhood to cover all the breaking news.  Plus there's food at several choice locations in the immediate vicinity of 220 West Harrison Street, where the Library is situated.  It doesn't have my name on it, but I know it was left out for moi.

Happy Appreciation Day For Moi,

Cauli Le Chat

P.S.  When it comes to appreciating oneself in song, "U Can't Touch This," by MC Hammer, must rank near or at the top.  The song appeared on the album Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em (1990).

P.P.S.  Naturally, we can't include MC Hammer's megahit without the classic parody by "Weird Al" Yankovic.  "I Can't Watch This" appeared on "Weird Al's" album Off the Deep End (1992).  A fan created this funny video to accompany the song.

Where to Put Your Canned Cat/Dog Food Donations

There's a special place to put your donations of canned cat and dog food to celebrate Cauli Le Chat Appreciation Day on February 22, 2012.  When you enter the Library, just look to your right, over by the interior book drops.

See "Flat" Cauli V down on the floor?  Well, there's also a sign up above.  Too small to see properly?  I can fix that.

Please Place Your Donations Here!

(Says "Flat" Cauli V)

The animals at the Morgan County Humane Society (in Martinsville, Indiana) will be forever thankful for your generosity.



We Appreciate Your Help,

P.S.  Speaking of cat food, here's a Friskies cat food television commercial, but Betenoreus, who parodied the advertisement on YouTube, substituted Eight Miles High (1966), by the Byrds, as the soundtrack.  (I hate to tell you this, Betenoreus, but Eight Miles High is not a psychedelic drug song.)  Still, the Byrds give the commercial a whole new angle.

An Appreciation Bookmark For You

Minions have made a cool bookmark commemorating February 22, 2012 as Cauli Le Chat Appreciation Day.  You know you want one.

 

 

You should be able to download and print this bookmark.  How cool is that?





Pretty Cool,
