That’s the 12 days: Dec 25 - Jan 6.

Jan 6 is All King’s Day, when the 3 Kings visited Jesus…aka Epiphany…aka the first day of Mardi Gras season.

I’m not religious, I’m just from a culture where Mardi Gras is very important. And imo, we should all celebrate a day for no other reason than to eat, drink, and be merry :)

Edit: Holy shit, just realized I’m replying to the wrong comment lol

That's not really a thing in the usa outside of catholics. Alao never heard ot called that even in Catholic school, visitation of the magi, that's what we called it.

Christmas STARTS on 25/12/yy and ends on 6/1/yy. As it is 25/10/25 we are stil two months away from the start of Christmas.

There’s a song called the 12 DAYS of Christmas. I will never understand those who think it’s a 3 month season.

Fixed with ISO 8601:

I've created a helpful reference for this line of thinking:

12 days of Christmas | 12 weeks of Christmas
"They're the same picture"

TIL. Not that I'd ever thought of crossing their paths, but my kitties thank you just in case.

Do not feed citrus to cats, do not feed chocolate to dogs and do not feed avocado to parrots.

Researching safe and unsafe foods should be a basic prerequisite to owning a pet.

Funny that you'll have to stop dogs from getting to chocolate, while cat out here just knows it shouldn't eat citrus

Another proof that cats were never fully domesticated and still retain some of their primal instincts? I mean, besides them murdering all local wildlife if let outside.

Chocolate is also very poisonous for cats, but unlike dogs, they're usually smart enough not to eat it. I think lilies are the only things that they occasionally chew on that is poisonous to them (and they are extremely poisonous to them).

True, but we both know what should be frequently isn't. In my defense, I'd never try to give my cats something that wasn't labeled specifically for them, anyway - although I'll acknowledge that's still no guarantee.

according to another comment on this post apparently touching citrus can cause skin irritation for cats....
