IMPORTANT MESSAGE!!!

A MESSAGE FOR ALL MY DEAR CATSTER FRIENDS!!

Catster friends need our help!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, our dear friends Norman Bates and Vlad Tepse’s
family are in dire need of help from all their Catster friends. They’re presently living in the middle of Mexico and their human dad has no work and savings have been depleted. They have confirmation of a place to stay and a future job here, in North Carolina, for their human dad … getting the furamily here is the difficult part.

Please purr for them, send them POP - we know it works!

If you’d like to know how you can help them, please send me a pawmail

Thank you.

Did you all know?

Dogster has been bought by a company called Say Media??? It all happened on April 19th:

I hope this doesn't mean more changes ... I've got my paws crossed.

Anxious purrs,
Aggie

THE CAVALRY IS ON THE WAY!!!!

Last night I went to  Pawsome Pages , the best group for learning how to decorate your page and to ask questions having to do with just about anything on Catster & Dogster (lots of smart furs in that group) ... anyway, I left a message asking if anyone else was catfused by the new diary comments feature & if it's a permanent thing because I do not want to be so catfused for the rest of my life!!! Well, my friend  Flicka , a very wise dog, replied that he had contacted John @ HQ and he replied saying they know about the mess and will fix it ASAP but we must keep in mind that they have few on staff during the weekend.

So, hang in there my fellow furs, as  Flicka said, the cavalry's on the way but they might take the scenic route!!!  

HQ, WHY ARE YOU GUYS CATFUSING US?????

All those diary entry references on the Purr Board are so catfusing ... why put a link to the writer's page rather than the diary where the comment was made???

Please put your thinking caps back on and fix this mess, you had me thinking the wrong fur was going to the Bridge - nothing's making sense tonight.

AARRGH!!! Just when it seems we're getting used to the "new" Catster you try to improve something and make it worse!!!

We're really hissing and spitting tonight - I hope you guys fix this soon.

WE'RE ONE YEAR OLD!!!

OMC, we didn't even notice that our group,  HERNANDO’S HIDEAWAY - OLE! , turned one year old on October 14th!! My sweetheart,  Midnight , was the one who noticed it and got a small celebration going yesterday.

We love our group, it may be small but it's BIG on friendship and love and we never pressure anyone if they can't visit every day - as our group motto states:

Drop by when you can-no pressure here-we know humans are always busy!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!

Why the truth must be told!

Voice of the Voiceless
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I am the voice of the voiceless,
Through me the mute shall speak,
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
The wrongs of the wordless weak.
From street, from cage, and from kennel,
From stable and zoo, the wail
Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin
Of the mighty against the frail.
Oh, shame on the mothers of mortals
Who have not stooped to teach
Of the sorrow that lies in dear, dumb eyes,
The sorrow that has no speech.
The same force formed the sparrow
That fashioned man the king;
The God of the whole gave a spark of soul
To furred and to feathered thing.
And I am my brother's keeper,
And I will fight his fight,
And speak the word for beast and bird
Till the world shall set things right.

My furblings and I are sharing this poem because this is what our mom believes and this is why the truth must be spoken always and everywhere.

Freedom of Expression

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Declaration of Principles adopted in 2003 makes specific reference to the importance of the right to freedom of expression for the "Information Society" in stating:

"We reaffirm, as an essential foundation of the Information Society, and as outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; that this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. Communication is a fundamental social process, a basic human need and the foundation of all social organisation. It is central to the Information Society. Everyone, everywhere should have the opportunity to participate and no one should be excluded from the benefits of the Information Society offers."
