See, I'm a multilingual kitty. I know espanol and stuff, MOL.
Thanks to all the cats (and their nice humans) who've been keeping my grandma in their thoughts and purrayers. She still has progress to make on her physical therapy, but she's hanging in there. And you know what a difference good, positive energy makes? Mom was telling grandma a week and a half ago how many people are thinking about her and praying for her, and my grandma was really touched. Sometimes I think she doesn't believe others care, but we do. :)
It's been really busy over in my household. I got blessed last Saturday at the Feast of St. Francis celebration the post's Catholic chapel hosted. I'd never seen so many pets in one area - and so many yappy ones at that! Most of them were small, loud dogs. *sigh* I love all of God's creatures, but some of them need a "mute" button, MOL. And I got to meet another cat, a 3-year-old black cat who I hissed at after watching him curiously for a minute. Hey, he started getting in my face so I had to do something about it. Just sayin'.
And this morning, my dad laughed at a comic strip that I think you'll appreciate - well, if you're a gamer (I'm referring to classic, table-top gaming, in the Dungeons & Dragons tradition, not WoW. Though there's nothing wrong with Warcraft.). Check out today's Dork Tower comic . Just as my dad suspected, yes, some of us felines are actually gaming when we're batting around the dice.
My mom/personal assistant is leaving today to see her mom (my grandmaw), so I'll be off Catster until October. I'll miss goofing off here with my pals, but the weeks will pass by quickly, and...
While my mom was surfing through the New York Times' website earlier this week, she came across this very cool photo essay on a Long Island-based animal rescue group called Rescue Ink. It's comprised of tattoed-to-the-max tough guys who roam the streets of the NYC metro area to save the abandoned cats and pups they come across on their daily travels. And I don't pity the animal abusers these big guys encounter; I'm really glad that they're muscle-bound and kinda scary-looking so that animal-haters can be intimidated and taken down! Meow!
Apparently, they've been generating plenty of buzz recently, on the TV and in the newspapers. I just hope that the publicity helps to continue raising awareness about animal rescue. Being a former shelter kitten myself, it's not very difficult for me to imagine the hardships some of these poor cats and dogs on the street have endured.
Rescue Ink's website is rescueink.org, if you want to learn more about them, or at least get some cool tattoo ideas, MOL. They're hosting a fundraiser in Long Island on October 17th, so if you're in the NY/NJ/CT area, have your human consider joining them for a fun night out to support animal rescuers.
