Today is Armistice Day (also known as Remembrance Day) which commerates the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918.
On Sunday we have Remembrance Day in England when we remember all the brave Servicemen and women who served in World Wars I & II, the Falklands War and those who served and are still serving in Afghanistan. There will be services and the laying of poppy wreaths and poppies at all the centotaphs across the country.
I'd like to also remember the Service Animals in all wars, the sniffer dogs especially who save countless lives when they sniff out unexploded bombs and their handlers too.
My mum's wearing her poppy with pride.
"AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM"

Today mum's friend visited and they were in the lounge drinking coffee when mum's friend said "one of your kitties has just been in the litter box in the other room". Mum said "Oh, it's Snowy".
Did you know that our mum knows who has done a poop in a litter box (there are 13 of us) just by the smell.
I wonder if Newman knows why all our poops smell different when we eat the same food. I'm sure he will because he's the top expert on the subject of poop!!

Tommy's been hanging out in our garden for a few months now and he's finally been neutered, tested, de-flead and wormed!
He's a lovely boy and none of us kitties mind him being in our garden and cat cabin as he's got a lovely gentle nature and likes to sit with us in our garden!
Mum's looking for a loving home for him soon!! He can now be stroked when he's eating but is very wary if mum tries to handle him, although he's getting better every day. She said she just can't keep him as she really can't afford any more kitties now that so many of my siblings are on medications for different ailments.
Mum says she knows she shouldn't have named him as he's our temporary brofur but she had to give him a name for the vets when he was neutered and Tommy was the first name she thought of but now she thinks it really suits him.
He's got a Catster page now - http://www.catster.com/cats/1147996
if you'd like to meet him.
