Well, this is a first.  This was published in 2014 but today is the Rome Marathon and I thought it important to talk a little about what makes a marathon a marathon.

FEET, that’s what.  Unless it is a special marathon for the handicapped.

So I wish to think about how to protect one’s feet, just in case one has the idiotic urge, as a kitty, to run 26 miles.  I’ve never reprinted a blog, but this one seemed too suited to the event to pass up.

But, this is a serious subject.  Listen up.  The placement of feet when one is snoozing or thinking or simply wanting to put one’s feet up to rest them is a primary interest of mine.  When my feet are happy, I’m happy.  Don’t anthros say the same thing?  Well, think about it.  When you can see your feet, they are protected.  No one can sneak up behind you and grab a foot just because your feet are so darling that it’s impossible not to touch them whenever possible.

So I put my feet UP where they are in plain view and I suggest you do the same.  Just to be safe…

Be sure to watch them at all times and try not to fall asleep.  Not easy…

Okay, you fall asleep, but your feetsies are still easy to glimpse should an attack be planned!

This position is not so easy, but it’s GREAT for tummy.  A few sit ups like this and you can eat all the kibble you want.

Not a perfect Foot Watching position, but still…only if you can see in two directions.

This is the very best.  You think I’m snoozing, but HAH.  Just try to snuggle one of my feet and see what happens!

And The Swiss Cats suggested these in that 2016 blog–still applicable:

  • Sponser an animal with an organization of animal welfare.
  • Give time to an organization of animal welfare to have an information booth.
  • Organize a collection for an association or a shelter.
  • Donate to an organization or a shelter.
  • Give food or material to a shelter.
  • Give time to a shelter to walk dogs or do some cleaning (not only this day, but long-term).
  • Thank the staff of a refuge, your veterinarian, or quite different person who contributes to the well-being of animals.
  • Make your balcony or your garden welcoming for the wild life.
