Fur Friendly Films for your Cat

Does your cat follow you around at times, meowing with such persistence that you are convinced that she has something important to say .....If only she could find the right words. Her water and 5 food bowls are brimming, liter box is clean, and the basket of kitty toys guaranteed to entertain even the most finicky feline personalities are starting to collect dust!

Perhaps she needs a good movie. Seriously! Results to these fur-friendly films differ - My cat is only interested in the birds, while others cat captives sit silently for an hour or more.

With more cats living indoors these days, I am convinced that they simply become a bit bored, taking up bug hunting and human harassment to pass the time. Why not try a video made for cats!? Give it a go, you just never know what that cat has on her curiosity radar.

Feline Agenda - A Poem

All programs are choreographed
for her delight
a field's frenzied performance
or a leaf's minuet.
A tossed calico mouse
or one circling the house
Cat never doubts her claim
to delight, for all kinetics
shape diversion in flight.
Cat glissades by day,
goes stalking by night
makes perfectly clear
that all needs are a right
and firm fixed in feline agenda.

A poem in "These Fringes of Time"

Cat Woman Extraordinaire: A Feline's Best Friend

Saying goodbye to Sneakette

Her Avatar is appropriately Lucky Cats and I can testify, after getting to know a little bit about Kathy Novelli, any cats that are fortunate enough to cross her path are very lucky indeed! Originally from Napa, California, Kathy took in more than 70 stray, hurt and homeless cats over an approximate 20 year period. She expertly advocates spay and neuter as the ultimate and only solution, caring for these otherwise helpless felines with her own money and creating a bond that easily earns her the title, "Cat Woman Extraordinaire". Read more about Kathy helping furry friends in need! 
 
But that was just the beginning! Kathy and her partner Al decided to pack up, cats in tow and moved to a much roomier old style ranch with tons of character in Kansas that they fixed up to be an absolutely beautiful dream home for them and their ever increasing family of feline friends. The love and care that they give to these otherwise unwanted and forgotten cats is an example of humankind at its best. I get the feeling however that if you ask Kathy, she will tell you that she loves caring for her cats and that she, without a doubt, is the lucky one!
I say that if there were more people like Kathy and Al - the world would be a much better place for all of us!
