The Truth About Cats (and some dogs).

February 22nd is Cat Day in Japan (Nyan/ Nyan Nyan 2/22 is the Japanese version of Meow Meow) and thus all things Neko get celebrated. I took pictures of these Gatcha ages ago and I can think of no better time than today to showcase them.

 

I didn't get the entire set, though I think these two are valid representations of Ultra-Cat.

 

Sticking with out of this world are NYASA Cats:

 I didn't bother getting any of these, I'm not even sure what's going on here.

Cat bakers?

Cats like to get in tissue boxes so much that this is the third series of them!

 

 

Miira (Mummified) Cat.

 

 Too intriguing, not to try one.

 

Chinese Jumping Ghost Cats

 

Not sure what these are, you may need to click on the pic to enlarge it. Sunbathing animals I reckon.

 

 

Hmm, I took these pics so long ago, I can't remember why I snapped it.  

 

 

I was so perplexed, I bought one. Ah, I got the despairing cat who accidentally left a tissue in the dryer.

 

 

Tucked in kitties.

 

Cats love to wear Halloween costumes especially when they become fruit.

 

 

Yin/Yang furballs.

 

Another Cat Orchestra.

 

Saluting Pussies.

 

 

A UFO CATcher feline. This one, I couldn't resist.

 

Some dogs...

 

 

 

And who really wants these? Enough people to warrant a second series, I suppose.

And the best doggie of all:

Speaking of Olympics, I'm about to watch the Canada vs. USA Gold cup finals in Men's Hockey. 

Break a leg!

Wan-Chan of the Jazz Fest!

Woof. I'm still a little pooped from the Jazz Fest this weekend, so I'll just treat you to the dogs I met yesterday and today!!

Here's a close up.

Dog owners really do love it when you can identify their pup's breed. Some are easier than others.

Finally and most impressive were these two massive poodles.

Since today was Star Trek Day, I wore the only garment I own related to the franchise.

If I get around to it, I'll showcase some of the musicians next time.

I Remember Mothra.

11/11 has a couple of meanings today. For starters, it's Day 11 of Govember.

It's also Pocky Day! because a 1 looks like a Pocky stick. See:

 

I look forward to bonking people with my long rubber Pocky. Alas, I didn't have any lessons today and it's considered rude to bonk strangers on the noggin.

It's Dog Day! In Japan, because of 11/11. One One One One (or Wan wan Wan wan, the sound a dog makes here.)

It's the Day my Twitch channel decided to show 3 Mothra movies. HERE is a short video featuring Mothra and here are several Mothra to flit around your lit candle.

Yet, most importantly, it's Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day for the US) and I sported my poppy for the occasion.

I never paid much attention to my family’s history so that necessitated an inquiry to my brother. He learned by digging through my father’s papers that dad had an older brother who was killed in Italy in WW2. Further inquiries to my aunt years ago brought the revelation that Uncle Charles had a young family in England that died in a bomb attack late in the war.
Pretty grim. So now that I know that story, Remembrance Day has even more meaning to me.

Finally, a trivial pun for you. Can anyone decipher the title of today's post? Hint: It's Dunne.
