Mancat Monday With Ping

Ping sits atop the cat condo and plays with the furry feather toy.

Ping, Ping what happened to your ears buddy?

***
Today we would like to take a moment to recognize that in the US we celebrate Memorial Day.
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.
My Grandfather served in the Army during WWII.
My Father served in the Navy during WWII.
My Brother served in the Navy as a NFO and retired from his service.
My Husband served in the Navy.

These are the men in my immediate family who have given back to their county and I give them my complete respect and say thank you for your service.
Without you and millions of other Grandfathers, Fathers, Brothers and Husbands we would not enjoy the freedoms we hold so dear.
Thank you.
Thank you to all who are standing in harms way.
Thank you for sacrificing.
Thank you for making this country proud of your service and dedication.
As Joseph Campbell so eloquently wrote:
