"Cats are smart. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow."

Every Saturday, this blog goes to the dogs, I mean the cats. It's all about the cats: your cats, my cats, homeless cats and helpful links. Normally, we feature one Cat of The Week but 'tis the season to be generous, so we have a special holiday...


 Cats of the Week



These are but a few of the lucky strays and/or shelter cats who found forever homes. So many cats, so little time. My apologies if your cat wasn't featured here. In the spirit of the season, I'd like to extend extra love and light to all cat lovers everywhere. May your hearts and homes be filled with purring. Please take extra care with seasonal hazards and your pets. Poisettias are toxic if eaten, glass ornaments can break, many decorations contain lead, candles burn whiskers... you get the idea.

All the cats in this collage have heartwarming storie, but time permits to focus on only one. I'd like to tell you about the tabby named Jasper. It's hard to believe this self-assured and handsome boy was once, anything but.  When his mom Julie, adopted him from the Stone County Humane Society, in Arkansas http://www.humsoc.tripod.com this scrawny kitty had been shaved because of a severe flea infestation and suffered from a broken tooth. He's three and half-years-old now and a happy, loving sweetheart. Might there be a special kitty waiting for you at http://www.animalshelter.org?
I had visions of doing a holiday photo shoot with my cats, but I haven't mastered the art of being in two places at once. Time is the enemy but here's some old, cat magic from Merlin and Coco.



See you tomorrow for more holiday love & light !
