March Is Full of Great Things
It's March! What's that mean? Well, the Ides
of March are upon us. I'd love to say "Spring has
sprung" but it seems we've all had colder (and
snow-filled) months lately.
What I can say is don't forget to "show your green"
on March 17th. It's St Patty's Day. But did you
know that we can honestly call it "St Catty's Day"?
Read more below...
March also means we're a little more than a month away
from the end of the 2009-2010 show season. And kittens are
being born. Ah, and dues are due!!
March is an important time for all of us, our cats, and
TICA. Happy St. Patrick...or Catrick...Day. And don't
forget to renew your dues!
Purr-sonally yours,
Vickie Fisher
President

Move Over Saint Patrick
On March 17th, everyone loves to wear green, drink green
beer and eat corned beef and cabbage in honor of St Patrick.
But did you know that on March 17 that a patron saint of
cats is also celebrated?
St Gertrude is the patron saint of cats. How'd she get
that job? She's the patron saint of gardening and controlling
rodents. So, what's the best way to control rodents?
Cats of course!
As Saint Gertrude said: "YE SHALL NOT POSSESS ANY
BEAST, MY DEAR SISTERS, SAVE ONLY A CAT..."
Defacto, she ended up the patron saint of our feline friends.
So, move over Saint Patrick. March 17th is going to be called
St Catrick's Day.
