Cat Thursday, June 13 -- Authors and their Cats

Welcome to the weekly meme that celebrates the wonders and sometime hilarity of cats! Join us by posting a favorite LOL cat pic you may have come across, famous cat art or even share with us pics of your own beloved cat(s).   Share your post in the Mr. Linky at The True Book Addict.  It's all for the love of cats!  Enjoy!


The 2nd Cat Thursday of each month is Authors and their Cats Thursday.
