Mancat Monday

mm03082010

Actually we had a pretty good weekend and I sure hope that you did too.  It was actually warm enough that we got some window whiffies on Saturday and Sunday.  Boy did we enjoy that too!  Let me tell you though, sisters Zoe and Dolly were all wound up just running and fussing at each other.  I don’t know what got into them but they were at it into the wee hours of the morning.  Oh well, they seemed to have calmed down so that’s a good thing. 

Oh yea, don’t forget that Lynx217 and I are hosting a St. Patrick's Day Contest and I know you don’t want to miss out on the fun.  There will be more details a little bit later this morning so be sure to check back.

Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!  Purrrr! Zip! Later!

Purrs 4 Peace Week 38

#purrs4peace Hello everyone, we're participating in Purrs4Peace Week 38. This weeks Purrs4Peace has us purring because there was another quake.

There’s no disaster that can’t become a blessing and no blessing that can’t become a disaster. - Richard Bach.

Another week, another earthquake. But to the people and animals trapped in it’s epicenter, this is not just another tragedy. According to my research so far at least 800 people dead due to the 8.8 magnitude quake that occurred on February 27, 2010 around Concepcion, Chile on February 27, 2010. And authorities are still searching the rubble so that toll may rise. There have not been reported animal casualties that I have been able to discover reported. In addition, over 1.5 million people and animals have been displaced and are without homes due to the quake. And more killed and rendered homeless by the tsunami that devastated a nearby seaside village, Dichato.

Thankfully, even though the quake was a greater magnitude than that which struck Haiti, due to building codes and the depth of the quake the number of casualties was not nearly as high. Nevertheless, this does not comfort the families who did suffer loss I’m sure.

Therefore, this week I would like to purr for the animal and human victims of the the quake in Chile. Purr for their comfort, purr for their recovery, purr for their revitalization....so that they may have PEACE.

The appointed time for Week 38 is Sunday, March 7, 2010. Participants should purr for three minutes commencing at 3:00 p.m.. EDT (U.S.) which is 8:00 p.m. (20:00 hrs.) BST in the U.K. The cat's human staff should assist their cats with the project by stroking and nuzzling the cat at the appointed time.

T.G.I.F. – That Gus

YAY!  The weekend is coming, the weekend is coming.  Today T.G.I.F. means That Gus Is Fun!  Meet Gus, my Guinea Pig.  Gus and I often play and have a good time together.  Well, maybe I have a much better time than Gus does, but he sure doesn’t seem to mind…after all, what are friends for, right?  So what’s up with you this weekend?  Anything exciting planned?  Last weekend was claw clipping weekend, yep, unannounced, so hopefully we’ll just have a nice calm and relaxing weekend this go round!

Thirsty Thursday

thirstythursday

Last week I showed you Sister Gracie drinking from “The Pond”.  While all of us really enjoy “The Pond”, every once in a while Sister Sascha likes to have her fresh drink from a Dixie Cup.  Yep, as a matter of fact, from time to time we all have a Dixie Cup Drink.  While it is no where close to the size of “The Pond”, it is equally as good and besides that, at least for me, it’s fun.  Yep, fun!  You see, when I have a Dixie Cup drink I give it a whap and knock it in the bath tub when I’m finished, almost every time.  A couple of times I actually whapped it in the wrong direction and instead of going into the bath tub it went down on the floor.  Oops!  Hey, it was an honest mistake, really.   You see, I’m ambpawdextrous so I can whap it with either paw, I just forgot which way I was sitting…at least that is what I claimed.

As you can see, we’ve had a good bit of sunshine again, maybe I need a pair of sunglasses.

tt030220102

There now, that’s better, I was starting to squint.  Anyways, where was I? Oh yea, we’ve had bunches of sunshine, but it just hasn’t been warm enough to get some serious window whiffin time.  On top of that, there have been lots of birdies in the backyard too.  It figures, doesn’t it?  We had snow on the bird count weekend and only had three, now they all show up.  We have all been kind of stir crazy too running and romping all through the house and waking up Mom and Dad really, really early.  Well, we woke up Mom, Dad just slept right though it.  I guess we’ll have to try harder!  Oh yea, one other thing before I go, my Dad had a bit of a tummy bug.  We all pitched in and took good care of him over the weekend so I guess we managed to scare that bug off so it would bug off!  Have a great day everyone.  Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!  Purrrr! Zip! Later!

St. Patrick’s Day Contest

stpatricksday01 Howdy friends! We have news!

Inspired by Fin, I have teamed up with Lynx217 to host a special Olympics-like competition just for St. Patrick's Day. Both of us will be hosting two events.

I will be hosting the Best Use of Green and Best Green Sleeping Area contests, and Lynx217 will be hosting the Best Green Apparel and Best Spirit of the Holiday contests. We will each tell you more on our blogs, but here's what I've got cooking.

The Best Use of Green competition will be totally free-style so now is your chance to show us what green can mean to you, however you want to show us. Be creative! And the Best Green Sleeping competition is pretty simple, show us how you would use green whilst you be snoozin’.  Get out your green and get ready to rumble.  Let's see how you party, and the best partier wins!

We're still planning this, so more information will be coming as we get closer to it.

Remember, St Patrick's Day is only 16 days away so get ready!! We'll start accepting entries next Monday (that'll give our beans a chance to get things together better), and we'll have our decisions made no later than the big day itself!

We had a great weekend, I hope you did too!  We had a lot of our friends stop by for our Nip-Fest and then we watched a movie.  As the host I got to pick, so of course I picked a cowboy movie.  For some reason I’m a cowboy kind of guy.  Maybe it’s the horses.  Maybe it’s the western gear, yea, that’s probably it, so I put my bandana on for the occasion.  So what did I pick out to watch?  Well, The Wild Bunch of course!

Here’ another short video of the Nip-Fest leading up to movie time this time with Sister Gracie and Sister Dolly.

Purrs4Peace – Week 37

#purrs4peace Hello everyone, we're participating in Purrs4Peace Week 37. This weeks Purrs4Peace has us purring so that the horses will not be for slaughter.

If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth - beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals - would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals? ~Attributed to George Bernard Shaw

I was surprised to learn recently that although horse meat is not traditionally eaten in the United States, tens of thousands of American horses are slaughtered each year for human consumption. These horses - riding horses, carriage horses, race horses, wild horses and even children’s ponies - are purchased by slaughterhouse middlemen at auction. Sadly, many of these horses are brought to auction by their owners with the idea that the horse will find a good home. The sellers do not realize that killer buyers are at the auction along with families and horse rescue organizations. When purchased by these killer buyers, the horses are shipped long distances in cramped trailers without food, water or rest. The USDA has obtained information of horrific injuries suffered by horses in transport including dangling eyes, broken legs, back injuries...even horses dead on arrival. Most of these horses were young and healthy with years left of productive life. I will not even go into the horrendous slaughter process before their meat shipped to Europe and Asia.

There has been some action in the form of The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (H.R. 503/ S. 727) which would ban the slaughter of American horses for food and ban the export of live horses across borders for slaughter. I hope you will urge your congress men and women to support this legislation.

And this week I urge everyone to purrrrr. Purr for the majestic and beautiful creatures who deserve better than this treatment. They deserve care and safety. They deserve respect. They deserve PEACE.

The appointed time for Week 37 is Sunday, February 28, 2010. Participants should purr for three minutes commencing at 3:00 p.m.. EDT (U.S.) which is 8:00 p.m. (20:00 hrs.)
