Happy Finnish Independence Day! Today we celebrate 99 years of independence and we shall light two candles in the window. This tradition is to guide any Finn who wishes to have a space place to rest. Only of course we are now in a society of many cultures - I have of course welcomed the Britcats (okay, so they were here first). So we extend that welcome to any living creature who is peaceful and wishes no harm to other beings. There is no wall around our Catio.
Three cheers for the blue and white!

Happy Independence Day and 3 Cheers for the Kittehz! (oh, and of course Finland, too!)
We think it right that all should offer shelter from the cold and storm...
Ooh, and Happy Independence Day, we almost forgot... Next year should be pretty special!
Happy Independence Day to Finland!
Happy Independence Day, King P (though come to think of it, how independent is a country that has more than one King??)
And let's be real: You'd eat that little visitor in a flash if you could.
Will there be sparklers? Sparklers are the best!
Eh, Spitty, who is the other king? This doesn't mean that we ackknowledge P. as our King, but we're wondering.
Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää!

Happy Independence Day!
Hold on. The candles are NOT meant for finns specifically but to travellers in general. And the candles are originally for swedish royald pair's honor and later as symbol of rebellion against russians.
