We know #Ithaca snowy spring days make us want to stay curled up in bed, if you have the option we recommend watching our #GinghamDogandCalicoCat πΆπ±film screening on YouTube. Nothing like a children's classic based on the #IthacaKitty to keep you cozy. https://t.co/xlE2NXTG8c
We bet the #IthacaKitty would love a #CatValentine. Can you list seven reasons to love our 129 year old #polydactyl friend? ππ»π
We hope you all have a wonderful #ValentinesDay wknd, whether spending time with a special someone or making Valentine's Day cards for your cat. If it's the latter, here's some inspiration: a doily-and-construction-paper masterpiece, sent to Socks by a *Secret Admirer* in 1993.

Did you know the Central Park police station used the lifelike #IthacaKitty to scare away mice in the station? Farmers were also said to keep them in their barns to scare away rodents.
