September Month Long Events And Ginger Cat Day!

If you would like any of September's badges at a smaller size (300x300 instead of 600x600) they can be found on our September Badges Page.

Hi Guys! Welcome to September and the events that will happen all month long!  First up, September is 

Animal Pain Awareness Month

September is Pain Awareness Month, not only for our Peeps but us pets too! Pain is often a symptom of underlying health issues, and early detection can lead to prompt treatment, which can improve the chances of a positive outcome. Understanding animal pain can also help pet owners make informed decisions about their pet’s medical care.

When pain, is not treated, it can lead to a decline in an animus animals’ quality of life. Us pets try  to hide our pain, so it can be hard for our pawrents. So, understanding animal pain means that our Peeps can take steps to make sure we are comfortable and happy. That’s why Animal Pain Awareness Month was created: to make owners aware of what causes pain in animals and how to tell if an animal is in pain. 

Happy Healthy Cat Month 

For us cats here at Casa De Marv, every month is Happy Healthy Cat Month!  Happy Cat Month was created by the CATalyst Council to promote the welfare and wellbeing of domestic cats. Cats need plenty of stimulation, health care, and attention to keep them feeling their best. Happy Cat Month aims to bust these misconceptions and stereotypes through education, sharing of information, and examples of proper cat health. We are lucky, our Mom treats us really well!

Responsible Dog Owner Month

The American Kennel Club (A.K.C.) organizes all kinds of awareness campaigns and activities throughout September. They encourage Peeps to form bonds of love and affection with their dogs. They also promote the four tenets of dog ownership: health, safety, training, and love.

National Service Dog Month

National Service Dog Month is a month-long celebration honoring the hard work and life-changing impact service dogs make on people with disabilities every day. 
What Is a Service Dog?
In 1975, Canine Companions created the concept of “service dogs” to assist people with physical disabilities. They’re specially trained to perform tasks that help make daily life easier for people with disabilities.

Ginger Cat Day!

Our furrend across the the street is called Lindy Loo and she is a gorgeous ginger cat! Lindy is special because she is a female. Because only 20% of orange cats are female! She is also special because she LOVES EVERYONE! She also likes to do fun things! Here is me and Lindy and Nutmeg!
Enjoy Ginger Cat Day!

  2. Wow, what a skydiving team! Too high for this cat. I think in a plane is better than jumping out. That is unless Mrs H is flying we are on a case. Have a wonderful week
