Respect Your Cat Day (March 28th)

Image
Quick facts When is it? Every March 28th Tagged as Animals Cats What's the hashtag? #RespectYourCatDay Have we missed something? Feline friends can offer love, companionship and joy to individuals and families who choose to adopt a cat as a Pet . Though cats can certainly have their own opinions and often have no issue with demanding what they want, cats can make great Pet s, especially because they are very independent creatures. They really deserve a huge amount of respect – and that is what Respect Your Cat Day is all about! It’s true that cats and kittens have a few days that celebrate them throughout the year, including International Cat Day in August and Global Cat Day in October. But none of these are quite the same as the celebration of Respect Your Cat Day! Because, when it all comes down to it, cats can be impulsive, neurotic, and even somewhat antisocial. But the thing that they demand most (though they might pretend like they don’t really care)? Re...

15 Best Things to Do in Lunenburg (MA)

Image
East of Fitchburg in Worcester County, Lunenburg is a town of 12,000 with a distinct rural character and huge swaths of conservation land to discover. The town was incorporated in 1728, and was largely untouched by the Industrial Revolution, depending on agrarian farming until well into the 20th century. If you’re wondering about the name, Lunenburg comes from Brunswick-Lüneburg, a German dukedom of King George II (1683-1760), who was in power when the town was founded. One of New England’s earliest trolley parks, Whalom Park was a popular day out in Lunenburg, from the late 19th century to 2000. A beloved holdover from that time can be found at the Drawbridge Pup Pet Theater, which puts on shows every weekend. 1.
