Sunday Selfies Tocktober Edition Part 1 – 15andmeowing

Well, I must say I’ve never heard of “Tocktober” but I was fascinated with the book the 15 and Meowing cats are reading. I have ordered my purrrsonal assistant to get me a copy posthaste! And this Tocktober thing does sound like fun!

Like Cats and Dogs – Travels With Barley

I loved this story about how a dog and a cat are best buddies. Makes me think that maybe the Tribe of Five could get along with a canine if the humans decide to do such a thing. Of course there would have to be a meeting. A very lengthy meeting!

Hi folks,

Oliver here. It’s fall in my neck of the woods and it’s quite the job being Chief Leaf watcher!​

​

Hi Folks,

Oliver here. The feline human was telling us that the month of October is Black Cat Awareness Month. We didn’t realize that some people don’t like black cats and that there are many wrong ideas about these fabulous felines. The Tribe of Five decided we wanted to support our ebony feline friends and, since I am the closest Tribe member to being a black cat, I won the job of official spokespurrson.  I hope you enjoy my first post about these amazing cats and I hope you would consider adopting a black cat!

Our Beloved Buster

I’m beginning this series with a tribute to a former member of The Tribe of Five. I never got to meet him but Tucker and Jasmine knew him (they moved all the way from sunny California to our home here in the Inland Northwest with him). They told me he was a great guy, sweet, loving and funny.  The humans still get misty eyed when they think about him. So here’s to Buster, a very handsome and well loved black cat.

An All Black Cat Cafe in Japan

There are many cat cafes in Japan but this one only features black kitties. Each cat has a distinctive collar to identify them. What a cool idea. I wonder if anyone will be opening an all “black and white cat cafe” soon?

Black Cats and Sailors 

Sailors enjoyed having cats on board as the cats would keep the mice away from their food supplies. They also felt they were good luck and British sailors chose black cats to sail with them as they believed the would guarantee them a safe return home.

Well, those are my first “Black Cat Facts”. Stay tuned for more information about these pawsome felines.

Hello Friends,
So this happened. Evidently, the female human weighed in on the subject of canines? Really? We were shocked and a bit amused but after having the male human read the questions and answers to us, we had to agree, she made sense!

We don’t do this often but here you go, some great advice about canines at Pet Wellness Advisor, “The Biggest Mistakes Dog Owners Make” 

Purrs & Head Bonks,

Hello Friends,
Wow, it’s Wednesday already and time for me to share my favorite finds on the web. There is a theme this week and it’s British..seems our friends across the pond have the most pawsome feline news this week, so Tally Ho and enjoy this week’s listings.
Purrs & Head Bonks from  your friend,

   A Fluffy Dog and Cat Pop Up Coming to Soho – Time Out London

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, those Brits know a thing or two about showcasing moggies (and in this case doggies as well). The Guinness World Record folks will launch a pop up in London on October  27-28 at 2 Soho Square, W1D 3PX.

If you happen to be in the area, you can book a spot by sending an email to: amazinganimals@hopeandglorypr.com.  (I’m hoping our friends at Katzenworld  will meander on over there and report on the event.

This “fluffytorium” as it’s being billed, will afford people the opportunity to pet some of the world’s longest haired cats and dogs in a fluffy, fur decorated room.

The event is to introduce their new book, Amazing Animals, and attendees will have an opportunity to obtain a copy of the book at  no charge.   A word to my cat loving audience, Friday is feline day.  If you book for Saturday, you will be petting furry canines.

Shear Madness – The Daily Mail

Sometimes, the things humans do just make me shake my head. Purruse these cat and dog hair cuts and you’ll be wondering too. Note to my humans…..don’t even think about it!

Genie Crowned as UK’s Top Cat – Katzenworld

And speaking of our friends at Katzenworld, I found this report of a UK Top Cat competition.

Genie, a black and white 8-year old cat was the overall winner in the 2017 Cats Protection’s National Cat Awards. Genie won her title thorough her love and help for her 12-year old human Evie as she fights bone cancer.

Genie has been the catalyst for Evie to get out of the hospital and get home.

The celebrity judging panel had quite list of distinguished felines to choose from in this yearly competition. Head on over to Katzenworld and read about Genie and Evie and the other incredible felines that were in the running for this top feline honor in the UK.

 Denver Airport Therapy Dog Squad Gets A New Feline Member – NDTV

Yes Virginia, there IS such a thing as a therapy cat. Just go to the Denver International Airport to find out. The airport has maintained a Canine Airport Therapy Squad, referred to as CATS, and now they have a real cat on their crew. Xeli, the handsome Tabby is the first cat to join the all-dogs league as a therapy kitten to greet travellers. The CATS program at the airport is designed to help relieve travelling stress and anxiety. The female human is not a happy flyer and she’s hoping her next flight takes her through Denver so she can get some stress reduction therapy from Xeli.

Veteran Credits Cat For Saving His Life – LAD Bible

The female loves what she calls “feel good” stories and this one is the best. For anyone who doesn’t believe that we felines can’t contribute significantly to the lives of humans, you must read this.

Seargeant Josh Marino suffered a traumatic brain injury from a mortar during his tour in Iraq. His life was changed after this experience and he returned home with post-traumatic stress disorder. He lost all interest in living and planned to take his own life, until a little kitten meowed her way into his heart and helped him heal.  You’ll have to click here to read the rest of the story.
