Dear Cat Lover,

Most Americans are quick to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17th. Most fans of Marc Gunn know that is also his birthday, but what about us... the cats of the world? March 17th is also St. Gertrude's Day, the patron saint of cats.

Marc didn't learn this until last year. He was quite surprised by the idea too. I mean after all he was already planning to release a CD dedicated to cats and Celts, St Pat's and St Gertrude. What a nice bit of... luck?

I don't think so. We cats know that there's a way to the world. I am the master of my house. Tiziano is only second-in-command. Cats were once worshipped as gods. We haven't forgot. And we deserve it. We know this to be true. I mean, we are cats afterall!

So this year when you gather with your friends to celebrate the luck of the Irish, raise pint o'milk to the cats of the world! And most-especially, yours truly, Torre, your friendly neighborhood tabby cat. MrEoW!

"Great work. I found this cat irish site. End-up buying the album in the end. I couldn't help my-self. I'm a cat fan. Lost my 8-1/2 year old cat last month of cancer. These songs cheered me up big time."
-- Dawn Carpenter

TO PURR DIVINE - NEW T-SHIRT
After the last newsletter, I got an email from one of my adoring, wise fans about my end signature--"To talk is human. To purr divine". She said we needed a t-shirt with that slogan. So I gave Marc an earful. And he created a nice looking shirt though for some reason he added Tiziano to the picture too.

Then a few days later, Marc decided to paint. He doesn't do this often so he found a picture of us he took when our guard was down. We were asleep. And for some reason he *liked* that. grrrwl

Well, it's done. Now he added that slogan and picture to a SECOND t-shirt with this new painting on it. I must say, it looks pretty nice... except for the fact that Tiziano is on it too.

Adopt a To Talk Is Human. To Purr Divine T-Shirt!

Adopt the CD Now!

DRINK A PINT OF MILK FOR ST PATRICK'S DAY
Hey if you know some folks who celebrate St Patrick's Day and love cats, make sure you email them and wish them a "Happy St Gertrude's Day". Then tell them to go to www.catdrinkingsongs.com to find out how they can celebrate the holiday too.

If you have a St Gertrude's Day, St Patrick's Day or birthday wish for Marc, call 512-879-NEWT (6398), and he'll play it in the next Cat Lovers Podcast.

Last, remember that you don't need to drink beer to have a happy St Patrick's Day. A pint of milk for us cats is a great way to celebrate this Cat/Irish holiday. Be safe!

To talk is human. To purr is divine. Mreow!
-Torre Gunn, manager, lead meower of The Dubliners' Tabby Cats

TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.
