There are cats, and then there are CATS. Simon was the latter, the only feline to receive the Dickin Medal to date.
The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.
Only one cat has ever received the award.
This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Considering that the City of Asheville removed “prioritizing minority & women-owned businesses” from their draft of the recovery plan in order to appease the current administration, we are going to need all the help we can get.
House of Black Cat Magic could use your help. We know times are tough, so we deeply appreciate any support you might be inclined to offer, be it financial, magical, or just kind words. I would be very grateful if you would help to spread the word & share our GFM.
