A Good Morning Scratch #SundaySelfie

The purrfect way to start the day!

#TheyAlsoServed

 "The purple poppy has long been a symbol of remembrance for animals lost in service but until recently was much less well known than the traditional red poppy. The aim of our Campaign is to give the purple poppy its rightful recognition, and thus ensure that the animals who served and continue to serve are not forgotten." - Murphy's Army

Remembering the sacrifices made by both humans and animals in times of war. 

We're joining The Cat On My Head for Sunday Selfies.

Sunday Selfie With My New Toy Friend

 Happy Sunday!

I meant to show you my new toy earlier but Mum wanted to make a video to share of me playing and she took ages to find the right time to do it. 

I don't always like to play these days. When Mum buys me a new toy I like it at first but then I soon get bored. This one is meant to be a catnip caterpillar. Look at his funny face in our selfie above.

Watch my entertaining video below or on YouTube. And don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE as I'm trying to grow my YouTube Channel.

Today it is also 
REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY

We are remembering all the humans and animals who have died during wartime

Remembering not only the men & women but also the millions of animals who have died in and due to war - and who continue to die in warfare experiments & testing.

Remembering the Animals on Remembrance Sunday 💜

As it's Remembrance Sunday today we are remembering not only the people who have given their lives in war conflict but also the animals who serve alongside them to make our world a safer place.

The Purple Poppy 

The purple poppy is a symbol of remembrance in the United Kingdom for animals that served during wartime. The symbol was created in 2006 based on the principle of the traditional red remembrance poppy for Remembrance Day. 

The purple poppy was created in 2006 by the charity Animal Aid as a way to commemorate animals which served during conflicts as the charity viewed that they had been the forgotten victims of war. Approximately eight million horses and donkeys died during the First World War. It was created to be worn alongside red or white poppies. Animal Aid continued to sell the purple poppy with proceeds going to them until 2015 when they replaced the symbol with an enamel purple paw badge as they felt it was being misinterpreted — the animals are not "heroes" but victims. The purple poppy symbol was subsequently picked up by the Murphy's Army charity in 2016 and continued to be sold by them." - Wikipedia

Here is my Sunday Selfie. Hope you all have a good day!

Rescue Pets Rock!

Ozzy is still waiting for his forever home. Let's find him one now!


"This lovely boy has been waiting for his forever home for a year. He is looking for an adult-only home. He can often be found soaking up the sun, meowing at the moon, or playing with his many toys. Ozzy can be unpredictable in his behaviour until he has formed a bond with you, but once he has, he is a very affectionate boy who will jump on your lap for cuddles and fuss. He needs the right home environment with a patient and understanding owner who is happy to work alongside our behavioural team to give him the space he needs whilst he builds trust. He can potentially go with other pets, if we feel they are the right fit for him. Could you be the one to offer this boy the forever home he truly deserves?" - Wood Green, The Animals Charity
