Helping the Animals of Japan

Wondering how you can help all the cats and dogs of Japan, donate to the Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support organization.

HEART-Tokushima, Animal Friends Niigata and Japan Cat Network have combined forces to focus information, rescue and support for animals in crisis due to the March 11 Earthquake and Tsunami in northern Japan.

Woman discovers her cat survived the Tsunami

While this video is completely in Japanese I think you get the point. A woman is showing a camera crew the destruction the tsunami caused only to find her cat was safe upstairs. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. All these stories of families who gave up hope that their loved ones had survived, be they cat, dog or human, only to find that they beat the odds . . . it tugs on my heart strings.

It has also been reported that the human and cat residents of Tashiro Island (aka Cat Island) are okay and rescuers are working on getting people and cat food to the residents by helicopter.

Our thoughts are with all the cats, cat owners and other residents of Japan.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Saint Patricks Day Quotes

Here are 33 St. Patty's Day cats from Buzzfeed.

I sent just a couple St. Patrick's Day cat cards this year. One to my friend Dana. Her cat, Zissou, hasn't been feeling well lately. One to my friends Brian and Sara. Today is their anniversary. And one to my old boss. While I don't know what his opinion of cats, St. Patrick's Day is like Christmas for him.

I imagine that today my cats will feast on the vase of flowers on my dining room table. I fully expect to be cleaning up green puke when I get home.

Bella Takes a Cat Nap

I love it when cats find really odd places to curl up and take a nap. This is my mom's cat Bella, who decided this coco liner (for a hanging plant) looked comfy.

She's surely going to be disappointed when she loses her new bed to a bunch of annuals.

Kitten Sauté

My coworkers (as well as myself, of course) have recently begun including cute and/or weird cat/dog pictures in the daily reports we send to the team.

This picture caused quite an uproar among some of us yesterday. I accused my coworker HE (who sent the pic) of secretly wanting to cook up Amos. She adamantly denies the accusation.
