The Furkids are very tuned into weather and seasonal change. On March 20 this week, they celebrated the first of two Equinoxes for 2026. The word derives from Latin: ‘equi’ (equal) + ‘nox’ (night) because it’s the time of year when the sun is directly above the Equator at noon so day and night are of equal duration.
The Vernal Equinox (Spring) and Autumnal Equinox (Autumn) occur simultaneously but in different hemispheres. March is when the Northern Hemisphere transitions to Spring and the Southern Hemisphere welcomes the cooler temperatures of Autumn. It’s a time when gardeners in both hemispheres are looking forward to Spring/Autumn plantings so, the Furkids reasoned, what better way to celebrate the Equinoxes than with their award-winning* annual gardening tips for extra special gardens!
*This award doesn’t have a name yet (suggestions are welcome) but it is one they bestow on themselves and are very proud of it.
Loula is ignoring the news that there needs to be a third visit to the vet’s in the hope that I’ll forget about it. She was not thrilled to learn that the inoculation series consists of three injections, not two. However, I won’t forget because it’s all booked in for Friday, April 10, and the vet clinic will send a reminder. All proceeds from ko-fi.com/furkids go towards the bill, and we’re extremely grateful to all our generous followers – you are amazing, thank you! Thank you too to everyone who sends Loula love and well-wishes. In return, she sends you all loads of purrs, snuggles and kitty kisses.
