Mancat Monday - Party and Remembrance

Hello kitties! My first order of business today is a sad one. As I am sure most of you have heard by now, there was a tragedy at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Eight Belles, the only girl horsie running the race, came in second . . . only to break two of her ankles at the finish. This beautiful horsie was euthanized right there on the track. It is very, very sad. Mommy is glad she didn't watch it this year. She was supposed to go to Purrageous Mom's Kentucky Derby party on Saturday, but she had to work that morning and had a migraine, so she just went straight home and slept instead of watching the Derby. Grandmama told her the sad news about Eight Belles later that afternoon. Eight Belles, I know you are running wild and free through the meadows over the Rainbow Bridge. If any of you kitties would like to remember Eight Belles on your blog, feel free to grab our badge below.

My second order of business is a much happier one. Today is Cinco de Mayo! It is a great day of significance to Mexico (it's when they beat the French!), but here in the States I'm afraid it is just one big excuse to get drunk on margaritas and beer . . . for beans, anyway. I thought instead we kitties could have a NIP PARTY, and drink a toast to the memory of Eight Belles at the same time. So, PARTY on my bloggie ALL DAY LONG!
