I thought it would be fun this weekend to look back on past Labor Days. I have to say, while most humans are taking it easy, I’ve been pretty busy! Even right at the beginning.
This is from Labor Day 2014, and as you might guess, I had just been spayed. So I decided to throw a Spay Day party in lieu of Labor Day! And yes, that is my breakfast on my nose.
Being spayed paid off because in 2015, I was celebrating my award as Fourth Best Somali in Premiership (the altered class) worldwide! That was pretty exciting, and it meant that all those baths I had to take paid off.
In 2018, it looks like I was ready to go to work, not take a long weekend! That was when I was modeling the pile of ties my human ordered from Amazon for me.
Last year, I spent Labor Day weekend doing a Christmas themed photo session for cards and the calendar. But guess what? No photos from this session made it into the calendar, not even the outtake one.
Here’s another shot from that session, just to prove it may have been one of my worst photo sessions ever.
Amazingly enough, I wasn’t doing anything specific on the other Labor Days!
So what did you think? Which past Labor Day was your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

My absolute favorite is when you won your award. You’re first in my heart
Oh My Cat that was 2014 when you had your spay party. Time flies. We were so glad you were recognized as such a special Somali girl and we remember the ties and last years post. We liked last years as it was fun and are surprised no photos made it. Then again you are so pretty there are new beauty shots daily and we would be hard pressed to choose
We dont do much special on Labor Day. Labor isnt exactly our major sport. We liked all yer pictures, but the Christmas one seemed fanciest…
We like the Christmas photo shoot one, Summer. But the pink spay collar was sort of prescient … you definitely turned out to be a “Pro!”
Summer, you are one busy kitty! I hope you get a break to relax this Labor Day.

We hope that this rar you have a holiday and play with your toys. Sasha
year not rar.
You look very cute in your post spay pink collar.
That baby picture!!! I’m glad you didn’t have to be a mom too.
You were such a beautiful baby
Very cute photos. You look like Peter Pan in your elf costume. 🙂
The adorable kitten one!
But the last one is pretty cool too.
Loved them all, but I did enjoy the Christmas one!
(We’ve been rather AWOL lately, due to internet issues…phooey.)
I guess the kitten picture is my choice. You sure looked
young in the first pic. This “Second year with Covid”
should be quieter than other Labor Days.
Dearest Summer,
The first photo shows a very cute and eager-to-learn young Summer girl.
The final one shows you looking kind of fed up with it all!
Hugs,
Mariette
Those are all beautiful sweet Summer and I love the one of you with your 4th place certificate!
You are always busy! So sad, these days kittehs don’t have nearly as much time for naps as they used to.
