As a journalist, I know I'm not supposed to take sides. But I can't resist taking a firm stand on this one. What better day could there be than Happy Cat Day? (thanks for the link JB)
Growing up, I'd always ask my dad, if there's a Mother's Day and Father's Day, why isn't there a Kid's Day? And he would always reply: "Every day is kid's day, El." Not that I think every day should be Happy Cat Day -- I believe truly happy cats are rare individuals. I think cat's are content, satisfied, even perhaps ecstatic on occasion. But the feeling is a brief one I think so a full day is definitely in order.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm not a big fan of NSAL. They import abandoned animals at an astonishing rate -- there are plenty of animals in need of a good home on Long Island without have to bring strays - however "highly adoptable" - into the already crowded mix.
