Zodiac:
Capricorn Cats 12/22-1/19
By Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats
The astrological sign of a cat can be determined by either their date of birth or adoption, as adoption is often considered a second birth for cats. With this information, one can discover the astrological traits that describe the cat, such as their independence, diva-like tendencies, sense of humor, intelligence, and more. Additionally, it's also important to consider the astrological relationship between cats and plants...
The Capricorn cat is a busy feline. They are known for climbing curtains
and scaling ladders in the garden with ease. No fear of heights here! As
they age, Capricorn cats become wise and practical, they are cautious and
consider their options before acting impulsively. It is easy to see the wheels
turning in their head when they are faced with problems. Capricorn cats take
daily necessities like grooming and litter box etiquette seriously. They are
skilled hunters, companions, bodyguards, nurses, and box-inspectors, and they
love their jobs. Similar to Capricorn humans, Capricorn cats have a love for
plants that grow outdoors in gardens or patios...

missiles and find a working hospital... We left everything we had, lost our home,

Did you know that March 17 is not only the day of St Patrick, but also of another Saint? Saint Gertrude of Nivelles!
Cat lovers revere Gertrude of Nivelles most of all. After all, gentle Gertrude is the Patron Saint of Cats and Cat lovers. The idea seems to have started in the
1980s, more than 1300 years after she lived. Some sources say the first publication to link Gertrude and cats was a 1981 catalog, Metropolitan Cats, put out by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Since then, the idea that Gertrude is the patron of cats - and cat owners - has spread. She is the Patron of Cats, Gardeners, Travelers... and Those with a Morbid Fear of Mice and Rats.
Most of us can find themselves in this list! St Gertrude's feast day of March 17 is observed by gardeners, who regard fine weather on that day as a sign to begin spring planting!
And yet one more holiday close enough... Today, March 16 is a birthday of our columnist Alex Butova - the Witch of Herbs and Cats and supporter of PeopleCats. Alex was born on a purrrfect day! Happy Birthday, Alex!
