Cat Nights Begin.....

[vickyday]

.....according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.....
Did you know that.......
"Cat Nights begin on August 17. This term harks back to the days when people believed in witches. A rather obscure old Irish legend said that a witch could turn herself into a cat eight times, but on the ninth time (August 17), she couldn’t regain her human form. This bit of folklore also gives us the saying, “A cat has nine lives.” Because August is a yowly time for cats, this may have prompted the speculation about witches on the prowl in the first place. Also, nights continue to get longer. Cats, crepuscular creatures, are nocturnal hunters. Their superior night vision means that the nights belong to them."

Thanks, Chris! I thought it was really interesting, even though we don't own a cat! But, my granddaughter's black cat fit perfectly for the layout!

"I've got a feeling somebody's watching me". LOL My cat - looking at me around the shower curtain. Haha No, I wasn't taking a shower - I was watching his antics. He's sitting up on a high shelf.

Oh, I totally know what you mean. They can be creepy at times. I understand the saying - "Curiosity Killed The Cat". He's ALWAYS right where I don't want him to be, too.

We had cats as kids, but I'm not really a cat person, either. They are too sneaky and conniving for me, lol! Love kittens, but adult cats.....not so much. I would never hurt one, but the cat people can keep them!
