Humans don’t have a special claim to love, nor even a particular flair for it. So-called “animals” are usually better at love than most of us, their alleged “superiors.” Our pussycats are extremely affectionate. This video could have gone on for another 20 minutes, and could have been anyone in the house. We love watching [...]

Feeling Helpless but Not Hopeless
So, Koko was doing beautifully until she ate IAMS dry cat food for the first time since her ordeal began. We started thinking of the chronology, the other cats having the same problem, the cats who were suddenly having familiar problems. Then we were kicking ourselves. A couple of months earlier we’d noticed the IAMS [...]
Loose Ends, New Beginnings & BAD FOOD
Thanks to all who’ve been rooting and praying for us. It means a lot, and we understand all too well that those who are with us in spirit are usually unable to be with us in wallet. Luckily, it really is the thought which counts. We’re in contact again with the people from Green Smoke, [...]

The earrings are made from recycled ecig atomizers (available in brass or steel) and hematite beads. Hematite is considered “a stone for the mind” and is said to help clarify thoughts, [...]
MAYDAY! MAYDAY!! MAYDAY!!!
So! We’ve started this great recycling project with Green Smoke (throwing my beloved raw silk shoelaces into the mix)…a few prototypes are now finished products…all we need is to catch a wave. If you would be so kind as to help keep the bad cats in Bad Cat Cottage, we can now attempt to repay [...]
Answered Prayers & Other Miracles: Part II
So we were sitting here, Bro and I…in disbelief. Knowing that each of these cats was very important to one 501c3 or another when first added to a day’s tally and a year’s statistics. But then it was all about the next cat. In the beginning, everyone who came in went out, either to an [...]
