Dear Clients:
As I write this, we are AGAIN experiencing an interruption in our phone service. I guess I shouldn't complain too much - we also lost internet for over an hour, but it just came back on.
This is the second phone outage this week, and the third since I switched from AT&T. While I am happier overall with TWBC than I was with AT&T for a multitude of reasons which I won't delve into here, this inconsistent, unreliable phone connection has me a bit perturbed. Especially since I am locked into a two-year contract with these fools.
Sigh. You know the routine. 818-297-xxxx. I'm also going to try allowing comments on here and will check in periodically.
Update: 11 AM the phones are working again. Whew.

The Pancake
You might remember the kitten we had here last fall for a couple of months after she was brought in by a Good Sam who saw her collide with a car. Anne has been fostering her since just before Christmas.
Well, good news: Little Miss Pinkie Pancakes has got a Forever Home with a very kind woman who found herself catless and in need. The Pancake goes to her new home today, and we are hoping she has many good years there, and a long life full of love.
I'll post a pic of her with her new mom as soon as I have one.

Oodles of Great Videos
I just managed to rediscover the CATalyst Council's video page. I guess that's sort of like reinventing the wheel.......
My personal favorite is Scotty's trip to the vet from his own perspective.
For clients, my top recommend is for the two videos about getting your cat accustomed to the carrier.

June is Adopt-A-Cat Month!
From the AVMA website:
Benefits of Cat Ownership - Each year around this time, thousands of newborn kittens join the millions of cats already in shelters across the country. To help address this booming population of cats in need of a home, the American Humane Association—along with partner organizations such as the AVMA, CATalyst Council and Petfinder—are observing Adopt-A-Cat Month in June. These groups hope to promote the benefits of having a cat (or cats) in the house and encourage responsible adoption and ownership to mitigate the problem of overpopulation.
Here's a very informative podcast with Dr. Jane Brunt of the CATalyst Council.
And here's an article from the CATalyst Council about Adopt-A-Cat Month and a ten point adoption checklist.
Of course, nobody needs to sell ME on the pleasures of cat ownership - I have had one or more of these furballs in my life continually since 1980, and enjoyed them from afar for many years before that. And in these difficult economic times, it's important to note that cat ownership is generally a less costly commitment than dog ownership.
So if you don't yet have a cat, please do consider getting one, or better yet, two (they do best with a buddy). If you already have one or two, there's room for more, and cats needing homes abound! When you do, be sure to make an appointment within a week or so for an initial veterinary exam to get off to a healthy start.
