You all know that Concourse loves random small holidays. She has had many events planned, but real life kind of stepped up and in the way (Juggling numerous jobs, two toddlers, full-time college student, and just life in general). So the bad news is, I missed some amazing planned events - and it really really sucks. I had huge things typed out for: Save the Rhino Day, Space Day, National Tourism Day, Mother’s Day, Love a Tree Day, and World Otter Day! In the long run, this is okay - cause there is always next year and I have all the events and stuff already created for those days and ready to go. The best news is: I still have loads of things planned out for the rest of the year - and most of those are already created too!!!!! I am going to start now, with one of my favorites!

Hug Your Cat Day!

Did you know that Ancient Egyptians worshiped cats? They absolutely spoiled then and treated them like royalty. Which is not much different from how they are treated today. June 4th, 2020 is Hug Your Cat Day!

How can you celebrate in real life? Obviously pick up a kitty and give it a hug! Don’t have a kitty? That’s fine. You can love on one at a shelter (if it is safe) or love one from afar through pictures.

How can we celebrate on HP? I am so glad you asked. Cats are not part of the game play (fingers crossed here guys!), but a lot of us own them and here is where we can spread love and good cheer on the game. There are numerous events - and even the ones that require you own a kitty will have alternatives so that you can still earn prizes!

I will update this DAILY with a new event. You will have until 7 PM HP time (EST) on June 5th to get your entries in and prizes will be awarded as soon as possible.

We will start today (I am posting this slightly early on May 30th as I work a 13 hour shift tomorrow) - May 31st, 2020.

EVENT ONE

Picture Story - If you own a cat, this is your time to shine. Post a picture of your cat(s) and tell us a little bit about them. You can tell us a short story about them (how they became yours, what their personality is like, why they are the best kitty in the whole world, absolutely anything). If you don’t own a cat, but you are close to someone who does - feel free to tell us about any cat that you know and adore!

If there are absolutely no purring friends in your life - then find a picture of your favorite kitty on the internet (HP appropriate, please) and share with us here. Tell us what you would name the kitty if you owned it and make up a story about it (silly, happy, whatever your little heart desires).

If you participate and share a picture and a story, you will earn 2,000 points on any one animal of your choice. Only one prize to be awarded per person who participates. You have until June 5th, 2020 at 7pm HP time (EST) to get your entries in.

EVENT TWO

Earn 1,000 points for any animal of your choice per answer.
If you answer all ten, you earn 10,000 points!

Sooo...I have 16 kitties haha but the closest picture I have of myself hugging a kitter is of me with Kitler when he was a baby: http://prntscr.com/stbbs3

Kitler is 1 of 5 kittens I had from that little, all of which I still have. He is aptly named because of his unfortunate mustache. ;P He always takes a few minutes to warm up (I swear the cat has a fear of "heights" so I have to sit down for him to come near me) but he loves to be petted and will almost always eventually flop over for a belly rub. This goof hates the camera tho. He sees me with my phone trying to get a snap or a video and high-tails it out of sight. xD Darn paparrazi...

My other cats are: Tiger, Twinkie, Puma, Panther, Truffles, Romeo, Smokey, Snickers, Simba, Fred, Spike, Celeste, Spooks, Felix, and Polly. All of which who were featured on my page until I switched layouts and have been to lazy to fill it out. xD

These adorable ginger tabbies are Fry (Left, named after my favorite animated show 'Futurama') and Leutenant Dan (right, named after Forrest Gump. Dan is missing one of his hind legs). Fry was just a baby when he showed up on our doorstep, he was the sweetest little guy wth the thickest tom-boy fur! As he got older we noticed he wasn't growing much. We later discovered he had what was "dwarfism" syndrome- so he was only half the size of your normal tomcat, therefore earning him the name Smallfry. Fry loved car rides, cuddles, being held, and was so affectionate- he had such a loud purr! Sadly Fry passed away at a year and a half old from health issues in 2017(RIP buddy), I miss him so much! Dan is a rescue kitty who I got from a friend, he was very young when he lost his hind leg from the knee down. It poses no issue to him and he gets around just fine! His remaining hind leg is like... extremely buff haha! Today Dan is still a happy boy and spends his time eating and sun bathing (: I always called them "My pieces of gold". I really really love ginger kitties!
