St. Patrick's Day Greetings

Published March 17, 2009

Today is St. Patrick's Day. Some folks refer to it colloguially as St. Paddy's Day or just plain "Paddy's Day. This is the annual feast day to commemorate St. Patrick (AD385-461) who was one of the patron saints of Ireland. March 17th is the day in which it is generally celebrated around the world. A national holiday in Ireland, it is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Montserrat.

Widely celebrated by parades and parties throughout the United States, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, it is not considered to be an official holiday. However many cat and dog lovers who enjoy the holiday spirit invite their pets to participate with them and become extraordinarily creative in doing so!

I think you will agree with me that chibudgielv's entertaining video of his cat, Ranj is enjoying a taste of the "green" and seems to eagerly participate in the festivities with his human companion. Chibudgielvr's message to his viewers is, "My cat wishes everyone a happy St. Patty's Day! Because his fur is orange, and he doesn't mind a little game of dress-up, he was the perfect subject for this short video"

Do you play "dress up" with your pets in celebration of St. Patrick's Day, or do your furry friends "pooh pooh" the whole idea? Leave a comment and let us know! Happy St. Paddy's Day to you from me and our cats.
