Marauding Mancat Monday

Kitties!

Rupert here.

If there's one thing all of us cats here at the Lounge enjoy (even Scouty!) it's playing with string.  This can be risky--swallowed string can turn into a very Bad Business, as some of our pals have learned first-hand.  So we compromise with a short string on a wand, and always supervised play. (Mommy ties a few knots in the end for Sylvester.  His claws are gone so this way he can grip the string almost naturally.)

The string toy lives in a drawer when we're done playing, and Mommy hopes--if she ever would forget and leave it out by accident--that the shorter length would translate into less string ingested.  Not that she ever wants to test the theory...and she uses natural hemp string so if we do eat any little frays while playing that they're non-toxic.

Anyway.  I love the string toy; here's a little movie of me killing it mercilessly.  Sorry it's so badly lit, Mommy shot it late at night and she's a lazy tight-wadded wench who won't put on the lights so it's kinda glarey.

OK, maybe I'm stretching the truth calling my actions "marauding", but I sure did teach that string a lesson!

What are some of your favorite toys?

Happy Monday!

PSA for pets from Daddy!

Kitties!

 It's The Daddy, with a GREAT announcement concerning lost pets.

I was working last Saturday morning when the phone rang--I answered and got a computer generated message--and I almost hung up, thinking it was a telemarketer. But just as I was about to press END...I heard "PET AMBER ALERT...PET AMBER ALERT!"  So I listened and found out a Border Collie Woofie named BRINKS was lost in our neighborhood!

(To our foreign readers, an "Amber Alert" is a PSA that goes out for missing children.)

The message was detailed and informative, told me ALL about BRINKS, and a number to call if he was found/seen.  I wrote the number down and called to find out more about BRINKS, like what part of our neighborhood was he last seen?  And guess what?  When I called I got BRINKS’ dad on the phone, and BRINKS was already home!  Somebody else had seen BRINKS after getting the same phone call and got him to come to them.

Apparently, PETAMBERALERT.COM is AWESOME.  It's available in the US and Canada.   BRINKS’ dad found the site, signed up, and it automatically faxed and emailed ALL the surrounding VETS and SHELTERS.

Then, if that wasn’t good enough--it calls EVERYBODY [like me] within a THREE MILE radius, BRINKS lived two miles away from us!

(BRINKS didn’t even live in our 'hood, thank Cod...we don’t need any woofies here, and you know what happens to strays that show up at our door.)

   

Check it out: PETAMBERALERT.COM

It does cost money to use--but they're worth it, right?

Pets are priceless!

Happy Monday!
