Preparing for Meowmorial Day

People and fur people who are Disciples of The Leader Otis,

It’s Thomas.

Yesterday, I entered the living room and saw Brother Oliver sitting on a blanket in the middle of the floor. He seemed lost in thought, and he occasionally muttered to himself. I heard him say something like, “I just don’t know if I can… I mean… I still can’t believe that they’re… gone…”

Meowmorial Day 2014 Call For Submissions

People and fur people who are Disciples of The Leader Otis,

It’s Thomas.

Meowmorial Day is nearly upon us. For those of you who have become Disciples of Otis only recently here is what Meowmorial Day is:

MEOWMORIAL DAY- THE FIRST MONDAY IN JUNE

Meowmorial Day is a day to remember all of the cats that we have loved and lost.  Our feline friends bring so much joy to our lives, they deserve to be remembered with respect and gratitude.  Plant a tree in their memory.  Donate to an animal rescue organization in their name.  Most of all, just remember them all for the special individuals they were.

This year’s observance will be a bit hard for all of us here at Cult headquarters as it will be the first since the passing of both Leader Otis and Mama Cat. Brother Oliver, Brother Henry, and I are still trying to sort out which one of us will act as master of ceremony for the observance as it was always Leader Otis who held the honor in the past.

Thomas Meowmorial Day

Meowmorial Day is a day to remember, and honor, the felines we have loved and lost. This year, that includes Leader Otis and Mama Cat.

Rest assured that we will sort out the details and the observance will go forward as planned, and we hope you will join us in honoring as many kitties as possible on this special day.

If you would like your kitty to be included in this year’s Cult of Otis Meowmorial Day observance, please send your photos and stories to cultofotis@gmail.com by noon on May 29.

It is only one more week until Meowmorial Day. Join Me in honoring the kitties we have loved and lost.

If you have lost a feline companion and you would like them to be included in a special Meowmorial Day posting on The Blog Of Otis, please send Me an email with their name, date of passing and a photograph, and I will be honored to pay tribute to their memory.
