Now I'm quite a bright cat and I understand all the 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 365 days in a year stuff. But where did the 29th of February come from then? Huh?
I had my usual read of the calendar this morning (the humans have one of the quote a day thingies) and I thought I had gone bonkers! There it was, 29th February 2008.
Oscar wanders off looking confused ...
Been listening to the humans chatting about 'leap years', that's what they are called apparently these years with an extra day, Something to so with keeping everything running smoothly and in sync with the stars, all sounds complicated to me. And I don't seem to have received any bonus food so what's the point of it anyway. :-(
Apparently if you are born on 29th February then you really only have a birthday once every four years! How terrific is that? You would take forever to get old.
AND THINK OF ALL THE EXTRA FOOD YOU COULD EAT !!!
