-- Have you ever wondered what your cat is trying to tell you through certain behavior? For example, when your cat pees on your pillow, he is not trying to get even with you for coming home late. When he scratches your new sofa, he is not being bad. Because cats have different needs and desires than us and a completely different way of seeing the world, they communicate in ways which we do not always understand or appreciate. Source

National Blonde Brownie Day
- What is a blonde brownie? Traditionally brownies are dark brown. To make blonde brownies, light brown sugar is used in the recipe in place of dark brown chocolate. Bake some blonde brownies and eat them. If you don't have time to bake today, buy some and eat a few extra blonde brownies.
Celebration of Life Day
- A time to honor our children and grandchildren in America. Each child and each life is to be held as a precious gift and should be treated with the highest respect and dignity.
National Polka Dot Day
- Some people hate polka dots with a passion! If the polka dot theme is too much for you, perhaps wearing polka dot underwear is the best approach -- inside you're celebrating but outside you look like everyone else.
Roe vs Wade Anniversary (1973)
- In the case of Roe v Wade, the US Supreme Court struck down state laws restricting abortions during the first six months of pregnancy on January 22, 1973. In the following decades, the debate has continued to rage between those who believe a woman has a right to choose whether to continue a pregnancy and those who believe aborting such a pregnancy is the murder of an unborn child.
National Sanctity of Human Life Day/Pro-Life Day
- On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our country recognizes each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world. On this day and throughout the year, we aspire to build a society in which every child is welcome in life and protected in law.
