Our big Endymion trying to find the catnip cigar he got for his birthday. (They turn 9 this year.)
Foster Pets
April 1st kicks off Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month. I don’t think there’s anything I hate more than the abuse of the goobers who trust us & depend on us. I know there are plenty of people out there “avenging Dusty” but I’d like to suggest we do that in a cool & groovy, pay it forward kind of way instead of in vengeance. (There is definitely a lot of animals out there that need your attention more than that kid does)
During these crap economic times, a lot of people are having to give up their animals, or, at the very least, can’t take care of them for a while in order to pay other bills.
If you have the space, think about fostering an animal or two; our local fostering organization will actually pay you per day to foster, and has a page of other useful information.
You can check in with North Shore Animal League as well, who are another favorite of ours, or the ASPCA (so maybe they can take those heartbreaking ads off TV).
In This Corner

Window Seat

Warmth
This is Endymion’s new favorite spot, with the snowy vista of Appleton behind him, me in front of him, and a warm radiator under him.

Cat Discrimination
Why is the dog show broadcast but never a cat show?
It’s not a riddle; I really want to know.
New Couch
Aeneas in his new home, on his new couch, which he sleeps on quite often:
