Friday the 13th, Fudge Up A Tree and Mau Katz Modern Cat Furniture on The Pet Parade Blog Hop #217 with Rascal & Rocco Co-Hosted by Basil & Barking from the Bayou




Friday greetings wunderpurr pals



Welcome to our weekly round-up on The Pet Parade.  We're sure mew know that today is Friday the 13th, a most auspicious day in our calendar.  Though many believe it is a day of bad luck, which we think is utter nonsense, here's a few common and rather misguided supurrstitions:


1. Black cats

You’re doomed to bad luck if a black cat crosses your path.


2. Mirrors

If you break a mirror, kiss 7 years of luck goodbye.


3. Ladders

They say walking under a ladder is bad luck. 


4. Salt

If you spill salt, you’re suppose to throw it over your shoulder to avoid getting bad luck


4. Purses

You should never leave your purse on the floor if you want to avoid bad luck. 

5. 6.66

If a bill total $6.66 or you receive that much change you should either buy something else or leave a penny from your change to avoid bad luck


6. Umbrellas

Opening an umbrella indoors is said to bring bad luck. 


7. Cutting Your Hair

If you cut your hair on Friday the 13th, legend says someone in your family will die.




Appurrently there's even speshul terminology for fearing Friday the 13th - Friggatriskaidekaphobia or Paraskevidekatriaphobia are the go to wurds if mew suffer from this rather bizarre phobia.  To be honest the wurds sound more threatening than anything! 

Our Friday the 13th challenge to mew today is to say:

 Figgatriskaidekaphobia  Paraskevidekatriaphobia 

three times really really fast!!! MOL MOL

*    *   *

Anyhoo, swiftly moving on aftur that terrific tongue-twister...



Fudge decided in his great wisdom to get stuck up a tree again.  He'd been outside fur a whole five minutes when a pigeon landed in the conifer tree next door.  

It's not Where's Wally, It's Where's Fudge!!! 


And no he didn't catch the pigeon, he just meowed pitifully at the P.A. and took 20 minutes to get down.  I have no wurds fur his innate ability to get repeatedly stuck up something!

Oh and before we furget...

A couple of days ago the luffley peeps from Mau Katz Modern Cat Furniture asked us if we'd help share their new online cat emporium.  Of course we said yes as mew know we're always up fur spreading the wurd on funky new feline furniture and uber cool stuff fur cats, and Mau Katz has some of the most wunderpurr things in we've seen in a long time.  

Check out some of the pawesome products below.

  7. Born Under A Bad Sign Lyrics
    One, two
    Born under a bad sign
    I been down since I begin to crawl
    If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all

    Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
    I been on my own ever since I was ten
    Born under a bad sign
    I been down since I begin to crawl
    If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all

    I can't read, haven't learned how to write
    My whole life has been one big fight
    Born under a bad sign
    I been down since I begin to crawl
    If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all

    I ain't lyin'
    If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
    If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all

    Wine and women is all I crave
    A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave
    Born under a bad sign
    I been down since I begin to crawl
    If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all

    Yeah, my bad luck boy
    Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
