Helping Lost Pets the Modern Way

Hello Folks,
IMG_3782Lily here. I was sitting on the upstairs deck (safely) enjoying nature and feeling reflective. I’ve been watching the female human as she and her sister have been working on a project for about a year now that helps humans reunite pets with their people in our community.

We live in a place where there are predators (I”m not sure exactly what these are but I do know they are scary and the main reason why the humans do not let us outside without protection and supervision. It’s a dangerous place for lost dogs and cats so finding them quickly and getting them home quickly is important.

The strange thing is that the human doesn’t go outside to search under bushes and trees and along mountainsides. She (and many other humans) do this by pounding on their computer keys and sitting in front of their iPads and tablets.

Now I am a cat of many talents but I must say I don’t understand all this “social media” BoCoCritterFndrs_Logostuff but what I do know is that they have been able to help many pets in our community and assist our local Panhandle Animal Shelter. I have a bit of an issue with the name…they call it Bonner County Critter Finders. Critters? How about Fantastic Felines and Distinguished Dogs? Oh well, despite my issues with the name, I think they’re doing a good thing and I hope you have something like this in your community. And, if you don’t, I’m sure the female human would be happy to let you know how she got started.

Your Friend,
LilySignature.

 

 

 

Can’t a Cat Get a Little Relaxation?

Hello Folks,

Alberto here. It’s a tough life being the official spokespurrrson of the Kitty Cat Pawty. Sometimes a cat just needs to relax and watch a little TV. The problem is, the humans have total control of the little, black thing they refer to as the “clicker”.

img_2001They use this clicker to choose what appears on the flat, black screen. I happen to know there is interesting stuff that can be summoned on that screen. I’ve seen birds fly, people chasing balls and a guy with a guitar case who knows how to help kitties calm down (hmm, wonder if he could come and help me out with the stress of my job).

I’ve watched the humans work that clicker thing and I have surmised that opposable thumbs are not required so why don’t they give me a shot at selecting the nightly entertainment?  But nooooo, they call the shots and so I sit and wait to see at least one shark swim by as they watch something called “Shark Tank”.


Your friend,

BlogPaws Conference

Hello Folks,
AlPressBoxAlberto here. As the official spokespurrson for the Kitty Cat Pawty and Oliver and Olive’s campaign I have also been named spokespurrson for this blog.  I am pleased to announce that the Tribe of Five (with the financial help of the humans) is sending the female human to the BlogPaws conference in Phoenix this month.

We’re excited because the human is giving away campaign buttons on Oliver’s behalf in conjunction with Olive’s human at Three Chatty Cats.

I will be receiving updates from the human while she’s at the conference and reporting on all the goings on.

OllieOliveBtnIn the meantime, get your button  (one button is given away each day and buttons will be handed out at the BlobPaws conference) and look for our human and Olive’s human at the conference (they’ll be wearing the Kitty Cat Pawty buttons.

The Night Watch

Hello Human’s,

Oliver here. I thought I’d take a break from my purrrlitical campaigning and share my more reflective side. The female human says this title is from a famous Rembrandt painting but I’ve never heard of that cat so I’m using it.

The Case Against The Kittens

Hello folks Tucker here,

There were some exciting goings on in the wee hours of the morning.  I was cuddled comfortably in my favorite chair when I heard a loud “thump”. After the “thump” there were loud rolling sounds as though a small train was traveling through the living room.

The noise subsided and I went back to sleep. I was awakened next by the sound of a door slamming and then crashes and bangs emanating from the laundry room.

The female human came out of the bedroom to investigate the noises  and as it appeared the human was on the job, I went back to sleep.

It was only after I’d been served my breakfast and the humans discussed their take on the previous night’s events that I heard the damning evidence against Alberto and Oliver.

Evidently the first “thump” was Alberto stealing a spaghetti squash from the veggie basket, knocking it to the floor and then viciously attacking the offending squash. (See photo-Exhibit B).

After tiring of the squash attack he and Oliver headed to the laundry room where their shenanigans resulted in the accidental closing of the door. They proceeded to dismantle the room in order to attract attention and facilitate a rescue. (See photo-Exhibit A)


Never a dull moment with the Tribe of Five. 

Enjoy your Caturday, I’m heading off to make up for my lost sleep.

An Important Purrresidential Announcement

Hello Folks,
Alberto here,

AlPressBoxI am pleased to announce that I am bringing you this important purrrlitical announcement from the official campaign press box.

It is with great excitement that the Kitty Cat Pawty announces Oliver’s running mate, Olive.

Olive and her staff at Three Chatty Cats, bring a maturity and thoughtful platform that fits purrrfectly with Oliver’s campaign statements.

She has promised all her supporters that she will institute:

* An official Tortie day, and if elected, will organize a national “Tortie Tuesday” for every week.

*She promises to campaign and legislate for all homeless kitties and is interested in instituting more clicker training in shelters to help with this.
*She will also work to implement a mandatory tuna day – the actual day will be determined with her running mate, Oliver

CampaignBtn_2So folks, it’s official; and you heard it from the Kitty Cat Party official press secretary, in November, put your paw marks on the ballot for Oliver and Olive!

The catidates want to hear from their constituents, so please send us your comments and questions.

 

“We must vote for tuna, vote for catnip, vote for a brighter future for all cats.”.
Purresidential Catidate. Kitty Cat Pawty, Oliver

Oliver Gets Purrrlitical 

Hello Friends,

Oliver here. I’m working hard to get my purresidential platform out but it’s a hard job for a kitten. I’ve asked for help from my fellow Feline Tribe of Five members but have been greatly disappointed in their lack of enthusiasm or support.

My brother, Alberto is going through a philosophical phase. Not sure what he’s talking about but pretty sure I can’t count on him.

Jasmine won’t support any campaign that doesn’t include making her queen of something.

Lily thought about helping me but her demands are a bit much. I’ve spent more time catering to her whims than working on my campaign!

Tucker, the elder statesman Alpha of our tribe gave it a try but I don’t think he understands the demographics of my constituents and his methods for obtaining votes is a bit suspect.

Dear friends, I am begging for your help. My platform is in place, and the other animals in this race lack the passion and purrrlitical savvy I possess.
I’m a kitten with a dream. Who will join me? I’m looking for a running mate and cabinet members. Send me your photos and the reason I should pick you and I’ll let the public decide. Post on Twitter, my Facebook page or this blog and let’s get some cool cats in office!
Your humble purrrlitical candidate,

Oliver
