Lately I've been thinking about how much pleasure I get from the
website Flippy's CatPage, Flippy's CatGroup, and the daily cat e-mail
items I receive as a member of Flippy's Mailing List. Thousands of
other cat lovers around the world also benefit from the tireless
efforts of this lady in Melbourne, Australia.
Flippy can use our help in supporting these expensive services she
provides us by regular donations and purchasing the cat items she
sells, non-profit. But I also think it's about time we honoured Flippy
with her own special annual "Flippy Day".
JANUARY 26th - That's when Australia Day is celebrated in that
country, and because Flippy is one of its national treasures, it could
also be "Flippy Day"
FEBRUARY 22nd - This is "Cat Day" in Japan, because its "22-2" and in
Japanese the number 2 is read as "NI"; (like knee) and cats make the
sound "Nyan". For this reason somebody decided that February 22 should
be "Cat Day", so why not also "Flippy Day"?
We won't ask Flippy what her birthday is, but that would be another
option for "Flippy Day".
How about it? Shall we give one of the world's greatest cat advocates
her special day?

Yes, 1000%!

Flippy is the one who introduced me to here, and
I can't thank her enough for that..

Now we have to decide WHAT day will be designated "Flippy Day". Do you
or other RPCA posters have any suggestions?

I think May 29th is the best day to observe Flippy Day. I also posted
my suggestion in her Cat Group. Many people said a Flippy Day was a
good idea, and Flippy replied:
"Oh my goodness, as I read this thread I am absolutely BLUSHING. How
sweet of you all to think of me. I am absolutely delighted that so
many people benefit from the catpage. It really is a labour of love,
and without the support that you guys give, the catpage would have
been gone a long time ago. > Okay, my birthday is May 29th. Perhaps
that could be Flippy day. LOL! (still > blushing...)
Hugs to all, Flippy."
So I think that settles it. May 29th is officially Flippy Day!
Tomorrow when I have more time I'd like to suggest how we should
celebrate it yearly.

the best cat-persons we know. Hail, Flippy!

Absolutely. The high point of my day is reading my 'cat tails' E-mail.
And for those who can afford it, a donation to Flippy's Cat Page is
always appreciated. She accepts Paypal. There is a easy to find place on
her site for donations.
In fact, It's been a few months since I sent in a donation. I'm going to
send in my regular donation, right now.
For those who have the means, please follow my lead.

The best way to observe Flippy Day is by a regular donation to her
website and all the other cat-related services she provides. Here's
the link to how to donate.

Japan has a Cat Day?? That's fabulous! What do they do to celebrate?
And when can the USA get a Cat Day?

PS - not a good day for Flippy Day, though, because she'd have to wait
nearly a year for it to come around again!
