This ad was running on my group page! I got a screen shot of it.
Safe for a 7 Year Old?
Since when?

Thought for the Day

When you invite the "outside world" in, expect some filth on the "carpet".

The Cat's Meow

The Cat's Meow has improved greatly over the last few months, more uplifting stories, more happy endings and less of the sadness and abuse cases. We all know these sad stories are a part of reality but I for one am glad they are off of this site, some of them were not in my opinion child friendly.
And for those of you who are offended by off-color remarks, I suggest you do not check out "What's Popular on Digg right now" , evidently Catster has no control over the comments there and some are quite offensive and mean. It most definitely does not meet the Catster guidelines, I wish they would remove it completely!

Please Help the Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary

Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary has entered the Pepsi refresh project contest and they desperately need votes. They are trying to raise funds to build an additional shelter for FIV and Feline Leukemia cats to live. Cats testing positive for these diseases have almost no hope in the shelters of being adopted. You can help by voting, if you have a facebook acct you can actually vote 3 times a day, once with your e-mail address, again with your facebook acct and a third time by sending a text message.

Renovations

The Main Street Project just got through "redesigning" our main street here a few months ago to "attract newcomers". They put in extra stop signs so it slows people down trying to "navigate" through town, taking out a lane each direction and adding parking. It is not working, no one is "parking" and most of the "established" town folk are "avoiding the whole mess" and taking other routes. Sometimes things are better just left "small town and quaint"!

Yuck!

YUCK and DOUBLE YUCK and I just thought the carpet was bad! That blue definitely could be improved with a few hairballs!

To HQ

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy. ~George Horace Lorimer

Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary

Please go to the Animal Rescue site click to give free food and while you are there give a vote to the Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary in the Shelter Challenge (link is at top of page). Just type in "blind cat" and fill in the state of "NC" and they will come up. Make sure to verify your vote by identifying the animal in the picture they show you. I got the lion tonight, yesterday it was a spotted frog! Today is the last day to vote before this challenge period is over, they need to be in 5th place and are currently in 6th place. Please consider voting, it is easy, no registering is required and it is also a free way to help a well deserving shelter.

Animal Rescue Site

Have you clicked to give free food today? It is free and with this being "kitten season" the shelters are all full and in need of assistance. Their blinkee is on my page and all are welcome to stop by my page to go to their site, please give them a few clicks when you think about it.
Meowmy just ordered her first item from the site, a nice sterling silver bracelet with a purple paw print heart charm. I will let you know when it comes in if the delivery is speedy and the quality is nice. They have a lot of nice things and almost always have a clearance sale on a few items. Most all of the paw print items are reduced now. Her order funded 28 bowls of food! We used the money we saved from not buying zealies last month!
They are giving away a purple paw print pin now for those new visitors who sign up for their daily click reminder (you have to pay postage, but their postage is reasonable).

My Apologies

I am sorry if we have missed any friend update, my friends update page is taking 6+ minutes to open and often times out before it opens. I hope HQ is working on this.
I would also like to know why we no longer have the prezzies listed by our names? They fixed that once and now it is gone again.
I really miss the old homepage, it was designed perfect for all of the things we checked every day, now everything is such an effort to do.
I really wish the site updates had been more for the loyal members rather than for the general public. Although I do give credit to HQ for designing this wonderful place, it is the members who have made it a success. We are the ones posting birthdays, purrayer request and helping others celebrating special days and helping those who are grieving. Those are the things that keep members returning and spending their dollars on zealies. The members are the heart of Catster.
