NEWS FOR CAT LOVERS

There seems to be a connection between educational level and
whether someone owns a cat or a dog. According to a study in
the U.K., people with advanced educational degrees tend to own
cats more often than dogs.
They said the reasons are mostly unclear, but theorized
it may be related to one's time availability, noting that
higher education usually requires more time commitment.
Thus, cats are favored over dogs (who usually need more
attention).
I wonder who has the time to sit around and think these
things up...
------------------------
Please be careful when you decide to donate to
any animal rescue groups on the Internet. There
is an increasing problem with fake rescues taking
"donations" for either personal pets, or for pets
that don't even exist.

urge to send money to someone... please... send it to us!

HELPING CATS

Help Feed Shelter Animals
Did you remember to click on the trivia question at
www.freekibblekat.com Friday? They had a Hi-5 Day
event that provided 5 times more kibble donated to
shelter cats! (And thanks to Al, who reminded me!)
The daily donation is 10 bits of kibble, so go ahead and
click on them every day that you can:
http://www.freekibblekat.com/ (Answer a trivia question...
even a wrong answer gives a donation.)

Now here's a fun way to help all pets. When you do a
search on the Internet, who do you use? Google? Yahoo?
Those are the biggest search services, but here's one you
can use that specifically helps the pet rescue community:

TAKE ACTION TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED
===================================
Donate your old fur coats to animals in need.
http://bit.ly/dtyknA
The Coats for Cubs program by the Humane Society
of the United States helps orphaned, injured or sick
wildlife by gathering fur coats and using them for nests,
bedding or cuddly replacements for mom and dad.
In 2009, 2,687 fur items were donated.
The coats go to wildlife rehabilitation centers that take
in baby raccoons, chipmunks, squirrels, coyotes, skunks
and other animals, and has helped thousands of animals
since it began in 2005 with the Fund for Animals. Many
of the coats are donated by people who find the production of
fur garments for decorating humans to be inhumane.
In the past, I have visited second hand clothing shops and
purchased fur coats and jackets just so I could send them in.
Buying from a used clothing store does not feed into the "supply
and demand" sales cycle of the big shops and furriers and takes
those items out of the public purchasing stream.
