Welcome to November!

Just for the fun of it, here are some "holidays" that have nothing
to do with cats but everything to do with making a cold, dreary month
a whole lotta fun. And cats might enjoy some of them, too.

Nov. 1 - National Author's Day, World Vegan Day
Nov. 2 - Cookie Monster Day, Look for Circles Day, Plan Your Epitaph Day, Deviled Egg Day
Nov. 3 - After you have voted, go eat sandwices like there's no tomorrow, because it's also National Sandwich Day as well as Cliché Day.
Nov. 4 - King Tut Day, Use Your Common Sense Day, International Stress Awareness Day, National Candy Day, National Healthy Eating Day, and National Military Families Recognition Day
