NOMS (Not of My Species) Day

 

We know the Blogosphere had not really done NOMS day for a while but we still enjoy it.  

From the original posts:  "From The Cat Realm: "We declare

August 5th to be NOMS Day, a new international public holiday! Details at our blog; we hope you will celebrate with us! Today we are celebrating Noms Day, a holiday to remember that all beings are equal, to remind ourselves to be tolerant towards everybody, to reach out across species, cultures, nationalities, religions, languages, beliefs and appearances and to come together and embrace our differences We have a few NOMS friends"

We have lots of NOMS friends but we throught we would share a friend we showed you once before along with HIS NOMS friend.

Remember Bear?  This is a photo of him with "Cousin Dusty" who is his NOMS friend.  Aren't they adorable?

NOMS Caturday Cat Art

 Today is NOMS (Not of My Species) Day!

Mom took a photo of Mr. Cardinal but the icky fence was ruining it so she put it in Painnt with the Dune effect.  We like that it still shows his red feathers but not the icky fence.

And we made a puzzle!

We're taking turns again.  Periwinkle, Noelle, Raz and Reesie

1. The highlight of my summer so far has been _Adventures with my boyfriend Stinky.   Actually that's the highlight of anytime!____.

2. August is a good time to _Nap in the A/C and dream of Sawyer__.

3. _Trying to steal treats_ often gets me into trouble.

4. _Mom calls me Wild Child__ every time I _whap things on the floor___.

Today's Flashback is from NOMS Day (Not of My Species) which is celebrated on August 9 every year.  We are Flashing Back to one of our NOMS posts from a couple of years ago!

                           

Click HERE to read our very first NOMS day post.  We featured a caterpillar, a butterfly and our NOMS pal Brownie.  Over the years we shared many different NOMS friends like this frog who lived behind our outside clock...

and this lizzie who hid behind our clock.  Noelle would have loved to get him to send to her boyfriend Sawyer.

Do you have a NOMS pal?
