Thursday, January 22, 2007.  Twenty years ago today was the first Cat Day celebration in Japan.  I take a look at the origins of that day, days set aside to honor cats in other countries, and then tell the story of the cat I owned twenty years ago.  I can no longer remember her name, but I have one picture of her, and I've posted it here. Today's episode music is "Bella," by <a href="http://www.patgorman.com">Patrick Gorman</a>.  Theme music composed and performed by <a href="http://">Marc Rose</a>.
