Happy 5th Blogversary to us here on WordPress. The Feline Cafe blog started in 2009 on Blogger with the same name. Things have changed as far as blog platforms and what is cool are concerned. I will turn you over to Marigold and she will explain a few things. (There is a reason for using this image!)

Marigold here, although I don’t really look myself do I?
I won a prize!
I won an actual physical prize for the first time. I won it through luck of the draw. I won it from Tails from the Foster Kittens.
Here they are:

Scooby would like a story.
There is a book of true life cat stories and a heart with a paw print on the front. There are at least two stories of Christmas cats in the book, I think. We like stories about Christmas cats! We are happy to have received our generous prizes from Connie.
New post Wednesday Oct 25!

Marijuana Billboard
This post shows a nearby marijuana billboard with a cat on it! And you thought you had seen everything! There are four shops within walking distance to my house. UPDATE: July 28, 2017. The issue of course is the picture of the cat, as you can read about in some of the posted comments here. A law has just been passed which only allows the name, address, and name of the product(s) sold to be on the billboard. “Mascots” and “cartoons” are not allowed, which means no more cats on the signs. I guess this puts the issue to rest. The present signs comply with the law and are unremarkable.
IM SO HIGH RIGHT MEOW. CLEARCHOICE CANNABIS
Not to be outdone!
Here are a few photos of lions taken at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle this week. Pictures of animals in zoos may not be interesting to some. Many do not like to see animals confined in zoos. If they were not in a zoo, they may not survive, as the wild is a dangerous place now. If you cannot see a real animal in a zoo, how can you care about them in the wild, when you have never seen a real one? I wonder if Scooby would be afraid of seeing these animals? There is a very slim chance a mountain lion or bear could show up in my backyard–but slim is not zero! I have many animal photos to choose from but I will just stick with these cats, as this is, after all, a cat blog.

Scooby Senior
Tabby cats are descended from African wildcats. See any resemblance? Cats, giraffes, and camels are the only animals that walk putting their right front foot and right rear foot forward; then left front and left rear foot forward, and so forth and so on. You might need to know this on the “Jeopardy” television quiz.
Below is shown a photo of lions in the London Zoo I took back in 1976! When you are counting how many shots you have left on your roll of film, you have to be selective. I concentrated on “people” photographs. They are the ones that stand the test of time.
This post reviews the board game “Here, Kitty, Kitty!” Scooby is sick again with something mysterious, and is taking antibiotics. We will give him a break today with this game review. Hopefully he will be appearing again soon.
