Dear Furiends,
Did you know that Yom Kippur begins today, Sunday, September 27th at sunset? I’m not 100% sure what this holiday is, but it sort of sounds like yummy kipper and I like those. So, I researched this and discovered that Yom Kippur, a.k.a. the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with fasting and intensive prayer…. So I guess yummy kippers aren’t part of it. I’m all for the purraying part, but must think through the fasting aspect, which apparently ends at sunset on Monday, September 28…. that is a long, long time without treats.
Saphera was happy to purrticipate, but the others vanished.
This post is purrticipating in The Cat on My Head’s Sunday Selfies Blog Hop – please, click here to visit our dear furiends, The Kitties Blue, as well as other Sunday hoppers.

PS: Angel, our dear tom-furiend in Ohio is fine, though his wi-fi and internet issues continue to be a problem.

Dear furry friends, I think ma is feeling a little better but won’t be chasing me around for a photo for a couple weeks. She told me to send you all purr kisses. Love, Angel kitty

Kippers might be part of breaking the fast, but yes, it’s not easy to go a whole day without eating. If you have a medical reason to not fast, perhaps instead you fast from something you love to do, instead of from food.

Kosmo dear brofur, Ms. Saphera has always known how to pose, but she prefers to use the skill when begging for extra dinners and treats… She seldom does it when cameras are around as she dislikes cameras and generally pulls a vanishing act… I’m thinking that the older she gets, the longer it takes her to notice a camera.
