as i read these posts this morning, i'm crying. there has been so much bad news for us cat people these last few months, with akron and the cruelty case in Missouri, among others, that it does my soul good to see how much, many people really do care. these last few weeks have weighed heavily on us animal caretakers, but when we work together we've got synergy!

Freddy and Puddy have brought us together in a special way. isn't it amazing how animals work so hard to improve and enrich our lives. those of us who are lucky enough to belong to animals know how blessed we are, and we wonder how some benighted individuals can live in a world full of hate and cruelty toward these little fur children who ask nothing of us but love.

Freddy and Puddy--blessings on you for your gifts to us. all of you reading this, blessings on you for your care and concern and prayers and warm thoughts.

hang in, Freddy! we all send love and healing to you. you're gonna get through this.
