Remember, Wednesday May 26 is Diesel Day! A nation-wide celebration for loving, giving to, and caring for cats, other furry and feathered companions, and the people who go to the mat for them.
Now's the time to call your local shelter and see if they need some of your volunteer time, a few boxes of Yeowww! Stinkies, bags and bags and bags of kibble, or just some of the fluttery, green stuff. Then you'll be prepared to facilitate Diesel Day celebrations.
If you are too lazy to do that, or if you want to score points with the Big D, support my two favorite shelters: the Sauk County (WI) Humane Society or North Country (NY) SPCA. These are both fine facilities with hard-working, caring people and would deeply appreciate your recognition of their efforts on Diesel Day! Tell them I sent you.
You might want to be scoping out where to buy very cool treats for your own feline friends. Likely, you do not have anything better to do this weekend. If you're at your local cat gear shop, ask them if they are supporting Diesel Day by making a donation of needed products or greenbacks to their local shelter.
To my cat pals out there - Spook, Dusty, Hawk, Brewster and the rest of you - pester your people, give them the big love, remind them that there are tens of thousands of wonderful cats within a day's drive of you that need their support. If they aren't paying attention, furr them. If you still need to make your point...partially digested spring grass on their shoes can really help focus them. You of course need to follow that up with extreme cuteness to win the day.
