Obscure National Holidays

Today was National Squirrel Appreciation Day – I wish I had known that before I made fish and chips.  ..0

I've only ever seen black squirrels whenever I've been to Toronto; do they come in other colours, Diane?

I saw a blue one once. I think it had had a fight with a spray can.

We get stray cats round here. People feed them.

This colour:


If you compare this photo to the one of about a week ago on the "It's a bit late but..." thread - you can see how chubby they are getting since I fed them our unused xmas baking...now my daughter has started baking just for them. (she found some past-dated cake mixes that she added Wheat-a-bix to).

If they don't get fed they stare at me and make a lot of noises as if they are telling me off, then throw themselves at my window.

Nope, more like Jackie Chan. If they do break in through the window my keyboard is only a few steps away and then the world will belong to them.
