All of the cats I’ve assisted, no matter what their original origin, were, or are, part Irish. We do St. Patrick’s Day big in this house.
It’s all because of El Hub. He’s part Irish, so the cats are Irish. If we had a fish or a parrot or a dog, they would be part Irish too.
Tabs fully embraced this part of his identity. You know he loved any holiday involving merriment, rainbows, gold and copious amounts of corned beef and cabbage. Plus, he loved how he looked in green, so that may have been part of it. Each and every one of his St. Patrick’s Day outfits matched his eyes.
I think for a while there he even meowed with an Irish accent.

When we took Rosie out this morning, I told her we were looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, so of course she took out her Periodic Table and looked up the atomic mass of gold.
I told her we were also looking for four-leaf clovers, and then she went into the statistical probabilities of us finding one…
Odds were not good.
I do love how the green in this collar plays off the orange in her fur. I think the combo is particularly fetching.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I’m an Irish gal (my dad is half Irish, I get my coloring from him) and Hettie and I are really good at finding four leaf clovers! They’re not out yet this year though, our grass is still pretty dead from winter.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Rosie!
Karen says
You’re so talented! Last spring and summer, I looked and looked and looked for a four leaf clover, and I could never find one!
Chelsea says
I’ve always been able to find them, just a weird thing. I had some I got from places in France too.

Must… scratch… Rosie’s… tummy! TOO CUTE! I can’t resist.
Happy St. Paddy’s to you and yours, Karen. I hope you are all safe and healthy. Thanks for being such a reliable source of smiles and kitten tummies during good and tough times 🙂
Karen says
Thank you Jules for this nice comment! You’re so kind!

Tabs’s column (now shared with gorgeous Rosie) helps get me through this depressing pandemic. It’s wonderful that you continue it along with the great beauty advice. Thanks so much!
