The Count…TA DA!

He is the most interesting cat in the world. He has won the same Lifetime Achievement Award twice. His whiskers are so sensitive they can find their way through the narrowest crack in a broken heart. If you find yourself in the doghouse, he will still come to visit. You should never underestimate the power of his purr…if it could be encapsulated it would be the most powerful anti-depressant on the market, and he can purr his way out of anything. There are people who reshape the world by force or argument, but the Count just lies there, dozing; and the world quietly reshapes itself to suit his comfort and convenience. He is the most interesting cat in the world.

Peter Parker Presents…

Hi everybody! Peter Parker here.  Me and my Posse helped plant the garden last week.  Ra was in charge of digging, I was in charge of burrowing and Nemo (a.k.a. Eddie Haskell) was in charge of helping paint the garden gate (purple looks really good on him).  There were 3 pairs of geese in the field beyond the fence line discussing who was going to get the best real estate for nesting.  They were lowering their heads, wings spread out charging at each other. It almost looked like they were playing tag. There were Robins, Wrens, worms, bees, and butterflies, all happily doing their thing… when it started to rain…hard. Mamma ran for cover, I on the other hand, found it to be exhilarating! I actually climbed my first tree that day! Up, up the tree trunk! Then I hung in the branches, tail twitching, surveying the scene from my perch high up in the pear tree.

There were seven kittens dancing

Six geese a playing

Five crawly things

Four calling birds

Three drenched Wrens

Two garden gloves

And Peter Parker in the pear tree!

It was a great day…until next time…see you on the flipflop!

REMINDER – Beverly is our Featured Cat of the Week!!!

Just a reminder that Beverly is the AniMeals Featured Cat of the Week!  If you haven’t stopped in to visit with her yet, be sure to do so today! :-)

Bailey

Looking to stop the pain in his belly

That hunger had always brought on

He lived most his life scrounging for food

He is sure glad those days are gone.

At the AniMeals Shelter, he has a nice condo

That has become his temporary home

But the one thing he dreams of and can’t wait to have

Is to not live his life alone

He is surely grateful for what he does have

And the care he is given right now

But a home with a family are what he will get…

He is just trying to find out how

He promises to love you and be your best friend

And he’ll try to make true of your dreams

Stop in and see, you will find soon enough

Bailey IS as irresistable as he seems

Beverly – FEATURED CAT OF THE WEEK!

Countless Quips About The Count…

He is the most interesting cat in the world. He was born in Katmandu where he made his bed in an ornately carved cradle. His pajamas are currently on display at the Smithsonian. He never pussyfoots around and if he disagrees with you it is because you are wrong. Signs that read ’This is not an Exit’ do not apply to him and don’t ever shut a door without his permission. When he is away the mice….are planning survival strategy. You will never see him crying over spilled milk, if it was a glass of Cold Duck…maybe. He is the most interesting cat in the world.

PRANCER IS THE FEATURED CAT OF THE WEEK!

Dolly’s Dream

Hoping and watching as people walk by

Patiently waiting her turn

Wearing a smile as she sits all alone

Wishing the tears didn’t burn

 

Where she is now is better than before

That she knows for a fact

She holds onto the hope of finding a home

And receiving a love to give back 

 

She knows that somewhere there is a person

Waiting for just the right time

To complete her life and love her forever

And never change their mind

 

Until that day when she gets her chance

To live the life she’s craved

She’ll find comfort in her dreams of a family

And the road that has yet to be paved

Lord Anthony’s Wardrobe #3

Lord Anthony is sporting his “Practically Famous” casual tee because he found a home!  It seemed most fitting for this refined gentleman.  He chose this particular shirt because he wanted to be sure that his mature demeanor did not mask his light-heartedness and his sense of humor.  Big smiles for another AniMeals Happy Ending!  Congratulations to Lord Anthony and his new family!
