Hi, Homer Fam: Katey Freeman Holmes, one of my favorite Hoomanzz, made this for me. (Ain't that a gorgeous Orange Tabby)? ;) Thanks, Auntie Katey! Happy Saint Patrick's Day, mah Hoomanz! ☘️

Happy Saint GERTRUDE's Feast Day, too, Peeps: Saint Gertrude is the Patron Saint of CATS! 💚

Hello, Hoomanz...yeah, yeah, I've been lazy. Ya gotta understand:
it takes all my energy to keep Meowion held together, with all her health issues--complaining about health issues--and my own daily, primal desire to jump through the window and eat that Blue Jay family. (I really AM a cat of great inner strength.)

So, hi, again; it's almost Thanksgiving and thank GOD, that means More Turkey for ME. Then the whole yada-yada, Hoomanz running around like brain-damaged lemmings 'til well after Christmas.

Most Hoomanz forget that Christmas, Chanukkah and many other observances during these deep days of Winter -- are religious holidays. Many faiths celebrate God during the Wintertide months: whether you're Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jain, Zoroastrian, Taoist, Baháʼí -- you're a seeker, and that's grand. (We animals don't have religions, 'cause, well--we're in direct contact, 24/7/365 with our Creator. I'll get to that in a bit.) :)

Observances can be fun AND worshipful: Oh, Hanukkah! Eight nights of wrapped cat toys, and feasting on huge platters of lox! I'm lickin' my chops, just thinking about it.

And Hoomanz LOVE to celebrate Christmas, but not all of them acknowledge that it's not just a party--it's a BIRTHDAY party! 🎂Christmas is Jesus' birthday--instead of pumpkin pie and fruitcake, we should celebrate Him with big, three-layer birthday cakes with thick buttercream frosting. With candles, and sparklers! 🥳

Ah, well, Hoomanz can't be forced to celebrate any religious holiday--and even if they COULD be forced--it wouldn't count. Religious observance must be sincere, Hoomanz reaching up to God, Who's reaching DOWN to them.

(We animals have always enjoyed an intimate relationship with our Creator--for we acknowledge that it is God Who feeds us, and provides our shelter. We are PART of God's creation, NOT separated from it. We want to LIVE in it, NOT dominate it.)

So! The holidays are upon us: I guess my fondest wish as a big, handsome and spiritual kittycat, is that all y'all Hoomanz will take a few moments between now and January 1st, to look UP, beyond the stars--and ponder the God Who is there, here--everywhere.

We cats, dogs, bunnies and wolves have no problem finding God--we wish you the same. Meowy Christmas, or whatever you celebrate! Peace out, man. xo 🙏💚❤️✝️☪️🕉☸️☮️🕎☯️☦️

3:35AM Monday morning, 18 July 2021:
This is Homer. I am SO sorry, Meowion is a slacker. Ahhh, like all opposable-thumb beings, she has excuses (like, sick, etc.) -- but I know that the real reason she hasn't posted on my behalf is that she's jealous. I am beautiful. She's, well, NOT. ;)

So here's the deal: IF you see this post, please vote and share the URL (link). I'm a finalist in The World's Best Cat Litter contest. The voting goes ONLY for another three days, 'til 11:59PM on July 22nd. So I need your help: IF I win, I'll win a year's worth of The World's Best Cat Litter, AND my handsome mug gracing a limited-edition run of The World's Best Cat Litter.

But here's the coolest part. You know that I lived for nine months in a wonderful, no-kill shelter 'til Meowion and I met. Well, for EVERY single vote that is cast in this contest, The World's Best Cat Litter will donate ONE full pound of the stuff to a shelter! Now, that might not sound like much, BUT--since TWBCL is made ONLY of ground kernel corn, one pound is, A Lotta Litter!

PLEASE vote for me, and thereby give free litter to a buncha kitties who haven't-yet found their Furever Homes. And please share the URL, so we can have entire herds of Hoomanz with thumbs, voting for Homer the Magnificat! 😻 Thanks, Hooman Peeps! xo 🧡🤍🧡

Homer's an Overcomer. He was found by a no-kill shelter volunteer on Lincoln's birthday, 2015. The poor little, orange thing was in a dumpster, trying to find food. He lived at the shelter for nine months, then God gave us to each other. Four months after he moved in, I was hospitalized for 32 days,...
