Mrrrrr Friends in Fur,
Mrow! Cat-Solstice is upon us!
Cat-Solstice is the primo feline holiday; it celebrates nighttime. Your feline loves nighttime.
Depending on where any furry cat guy or gal lives, their longest night may fall just before or after official Northern Hemisphere Cat-Solstice. Therefore, cats celebrate over multiple days by engaging in extra nighttime prowling, scampering, mischief, and quiet nighttime contemplation.
Yes, that's us staring at you much of the night, we're still wondering when you'll grow fur.

Cat-Solstice here in the Northern Cat-Hemisphere is Tuesday evening. Isn't that handy! That means you can start giving your cat extra love, extra kibble, and plenty of cat treats on Monday and right through your cool tree holiday (though we suspect you made up your holiday so you could party with us).
Even when we scamper into the decorated tree branches, lick the top of the fresh baked pie crust, or hurl a hairball on a wrapped present, your peace on earth goodwill toward critters vibe will probably put you in the mood to handle it.
For those of you who didn't know that Cat-Solstice was such a big deal, you still have time to run out and buy cool cat treats for us. Indeed, we'll roll with it right into the whole human New Year, accepting presents graciously as you bring them to us.
NOTICE: As an extra bonus for Cat-Solstice this year, we get a moon eclipse on the same day! This overlap only happens every few centuries, and each time it does, cat-kind makes an enormous leap forward. Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night!
The next conflation of Cat-Solstice and a moon eclipse is 21 December 2485.

Feeling like you can't give your feline friend enough love? Don't have a special kitty in your life right now, well, Cat-Solstice is for you too! Donate now to your local shelter or send a gift to my two favorite shelters: Sauk County Humane Society or North Country SPCA. They're both good places, with dedicated people serving the highest purpose: keeping all cats healthy and safe. (Yes, they are nice to dogs, budgerigars, and other animals too.) Tell them Diesel sent you!
