Onyx is a beautiful black cat who was briefly at Wayside Waifs before some lucky person adopted him. I was lucky enough to meet him and take this photograph of him looking so very elegant. Black cats make wonderful companions and are so chic, too. Wayside Waifs is a no-kill animal shelter in Kansas City, Missouri.
April Thirteenth, 2012, is a big day! It’s Friday the Thirteenth, Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, Scrabble Day and National Peach Cobbler Day, so hug a black cat, serve some peach cobbler to your friends as you play Scrabble and read Thomas Jefferson’s immortal words in the Declaration of Independence.
Here’s a post I wrote in in 2010 in honor of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson is timeless, so I’m re-posting it here. Happy Birthday, Thomas Jefferson!
