It's already been over a week since the New Year, so... has everyone prepared their 2023 calendar yet? If you've been too busy to get around to it, or if you're simply a fan of cats and cute pictures, then today's feature might just catch your interest.
The "2023 Funny Cat Calendar" was released by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Not only does each page showcase adorable cats, but the calendar is also available as a free download!
About the US Army Corps of Engineers
The US Army Corps of Engineers, also known as the US Army Engineering Corps, is a federal agency under the United States Army and the federal government. It comprises around 37,000 military personnel and civilian employees. It is one of the world's largest public engineering, construction, and management organizations.
The Corps provides critical military and public engineering services to the United States, both during wartime and peace. Their work strengthens national and public safety through enhanced infrastructure and construction projects.
The 2023 Calendar: A Unique Blend of Engineering and Feline Fun
This charming 2023 calendar was produced by the Portland, Oregon district of the Corps. It features photos of dams and locks along the Columbia River, Willamette River, and Rogue River—areas where the local Corps units have conducted operations.
To add a touch of fun and whimsy, each photo has been digitally altered to include a giant cat. The calendar pairs 12 months with 12 different engineering landmarks, complete with location details and descriptions. These narratives help readers learn about the history and interesting facts of each site.
The creators felt that a traditional calendar might come across as dull or too formal, possibly failing to engage the public or online communities. By incorporating playful cat images, they made the calendar both amusing and an effective way to promote awareness of the Corps' work.
If you love cats and want a unique way to keep track of your year, this calendar is definitely worth checking out—and best of all, it's free!
Stay safe and enjoy 2023 with a smile and some giant cats!
