Green n' Fuzzy

This wee one really gets into her "Green Reading".

That's just the kind of rounded experience the kittys of National Cat Protection get!

So of course we have the big day coming up on Sunday...

Earth Day at Balboa Park [link]

This is going to be a big one and there will be a number of our local pet rescue groups in attendance in the exhibitors area. It's Free & it's Fun! It will be busy fo' sho - check out the website for transpo suggestions.


RiRi is showing off his super green look. He really just wants a bit o' fish that I am holding up in front of him but I'll pretend that he is imploring the viewer to tread lightly on the Earth. He is fifteen years old so I think that he is pretty happy to be around on the ol' globe still.

I know I am!

In fact - the one purchase that I made when I went to the Costa Mesa Pet Expo was a gift for RiRi Kitty who was an indoor/outdoor kitty till about 6 years ago and now is all indoors.

I had been checking out the idea of buying a kitty video for him but I just thought it would not work since he has never payed any attention to le tube. Was I wrong !!



I purchased a two pack video set that was on Expo Special ($20.00) Since my parents have cats also - we split the package. As soon as I got home that day I popped a viddy in and immediately RiRi started to calm down (he was in an excited way since I had been out all day). He was not watching the video but the awesome tweety bird sounds took him back to his days sleeping in dusty sun hollows in our yard - he totally fell asleep in like 5 minutes.

The next day I put the video on again thinking that the sounds would be nice for him. I took it a step further and got his attention using my usual treat giving position and then traced my hand to the TV screen. That was all it took. Ten minutes later he was still watching the video and I was making plans to scrape my jaw off of the floor. I still am amazed that he watches it but he does. He loves it. Go check out the dvds website if you want to try it. [link]

I have also seen if for sale locally at Muttropolis. [link]

If you are looking for a cat to have around & watch viddys with make sure to consider le lounger known as...


Charlotte - This gorgeous 5 year old kitty is probably best as an only meow in the house. Adopt her at National Cat Protection.

Hoppin' Down the Fuzzy Trail...

Cadbury Egg model Riri showing us all that this weekend doesn't have to be about buying bunnys of the non-choco variety. Fuzzles of all types can be adopted and appreciated this weekend! check out the Fuzzle Calendar for a list o' adoption events around town. [link]

It looks like these two mega cuties are ready for their easter egg hunt...

Tyler & Noodles - These two chow chow mixes could definitely use an easter surprise. They have been at the shelter for a while. Classic case of good dogs that need somebody to take a closer look at their charms! I got to spend some time watching them frolic in a play yard and they really are sweet n' happy pups. Adopt them at Helen Woodward Animal Center.
