Ashin' in

boomthumbAsh Wednesday has arrived.

Numberless believers will accept a smudge of ashes today, a reminder that we’re dust, we’re fragile, we’re broken, and we desperately need Easter’s Resurrection. Laden with tradition, this is a mysterious, meaningful day for millions the world over.

As masters of meaning, the Tabby’s Place cats have, of course, co-opted the whole shebang.

They don’t need no stinkin’ ashes, but our residents are more than happy to help you celebrate Grey Day.

Tinkerbell has recovered from Party Gras -- and your comments about her purdy smile -- just in time for Ash Wednesday.

Hocus cranes forward for the imposition of ashes. And by "ashes," of course, I mean "bacon."

'Zola knows that holiness is everywhere. Even here, even now, even her, even you, even us.

That’s the story, kittens. Go forth all smudged and splendorous. You are loved and purred for more than you can begin to imagine.
