Canada Day Eve: Teaching Your Cat to Say 'Eh'
Share
Ah, Canada Day Eve. A magical time when the maple leaves rustle gently, the fireworks start early, and the question on every cat parent’s mind is: "Can my cat learn to say ‘Eh’?"
The short answer? No.
The long answer? Absolutely not.
But that won't stop us from trying. 😸🇨🇦
🐾 Step 1: Mastering the Canadian Stare
Before your cat can even think of adding "eh" to their vocabulary, they must first perfect the polite-yet-deadpan Canadian stare. Bonus points if it’s delivered from a windowsill, while silently judging the neighbor’s dog wearing a Mountie costume.
🧀 Step 2: Respect the Poutine
If your cat attempts to slap your hand away from your poutine, congratulations—they’re already displaying classic Canadian assertiveness. Just be warned: cats think cheese curds are toys, and gravy is their birthright.
❄️ Step 3: Cold Paws, Warm Heart
True Canadians brave the snow. So on Canada Day Eve, toss a single ice cube on the floor and shout “Winter is coming!” Your cat’s puzzled reaction? That’s cultural immersion.
🎵 Step 4: Sing the National Anthem (Cat Remix)
Try gently singing "O Canada" while your cat is in the litter box. There's a 75% chance they’ll bolt out mid-meow, which counts as audience participation. That weird chirping sound? That’s your cat adding emotional flair.
📚 Trivia Break!
Did you know? Canada has a town called "Meowth Point". Okay, not really—but you believed it for a second, didn’t you?
Real trivia: The official national animal of Canada is the beaver, but in 2014, the city of Edmonton appointed a stray cat named Barney as an unofficial mascot of its transit system. He lived at the station and greeted commuters for over a decade!
🍁 Step 5: Celebrate with Red & White… and Fur
Wrap your cat in a patriotic spirit (metaphorically—we do not recommend actual costumes unless you like being clawed). Maybe offer them a new red and white toy or a treat shaped like a maple leaf. Then loudly say “Eh?” until they blink once. That’s cat for “stop embarrassing me.”
