NEWS FOR CAT LOVERS
Good advice to help your pets get through this terrible
winter we're having here in the U.S.

1. Best: bring them inside.
2. Good: provide a heated place for them if they
cannot come inside.
3. Minimum: Insulate a space for them so they can
stay dry and possibly share body heat with a companion.
Dry blankets and straw can provide pretty good insulation.
In all situations, be sure they have food and fresh
water. Dehydration is just as difficult when it's cold
as it is in the summer heat.
And, just to be sure no one forgets this: Never ever
use antifreeze to keep water from icing up.

Comedian Stephen Wright says cats aren't actually clean - they're just
covered with cat spit.
Well, he's right, of course, but it's the healthy way to clean
themselves, as designed by Nature. Still, it doesn't hurt to give them
a nice bath every so often. But there are points you need to think
about so you don't cause them any problems, such as dry skin, etc.

TAKE ACTION TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED
How to help the animals:
1. Always remember to check with your local shelter
to see what they need. Your donation will go directly
to the animals, in sharp contrast to some of the large
national groups, whose donation income goes toward
large administrative salaries and other expenses - not
necessarily for animals. The only large group I donate
to is
http://deltarescue.org. Be sure to visit the site. I
think you will be impressed.
2. Buy my books if you haven't yet. Sales are used to
help support all the cats here, and you can enjoy some
heartwarming stories, too! Thank you.

3. How can one person save 100 homeless cats?
Answer: It's easy. Just spay
one.

Thought for the day:
"I have seen firsthand how injustice gets overlooked
when the victims are powerless or vulnerable, when
they have no one to speak up for them and no means
of representing themselves to a higher authority. Animals
are in precisely that position. Unless we are mindful of
their interests and speak out loudly on their behalf, abuse
and cruelty go unchallenged."
~Archbishop Desmond Tutu
