Welcome to WORLD MEWS REPURRT!
Brought to you by the world class repurrting, and researching team, of yours truly, Nikita Cat, and Elvira Mistress of Felinity, at the Feline News Network (FNN)!
We consider it our mission to bring you the news that possibly no-one but our fellow Felines, and their Humans, could give a fig about!
We aim to point you toward these stories, and sometimes even toss in our 2 cents worth on them as well.
We encourage you to leave your thoughts in the comments, link back to our reports on your own blog, so others can be made aware of the latest news and, if you come across a story you think we might be interested in, alert us via the e-mail in the sidebar.
Tipsters, whose alerts we use, will get credit, with a link to their blog, or website. :-D
Let's get this show on the road!
1. I want to get things started by going straight to the Dogs....but in a good way. :-D
As readers know, we support the Military, here, as seen by a collection of links in our sidebar, and by Elvira Mistress of Felinity's stories about MilCats, thru history.
This wonderful story, in our local paper, the OC Register, tells about Marine Cpl. Mike Dowling, and his companion, superior officer, Sgt. Rex, and courageous German Shepherd.
The collection of photos are very cool! (Especially 1, 6, 10, 11, 13, & 14!)
2. Interesting article over at MSNBC, with a title that's not very encouraging to Felinity Assembled, in that it accuses us of causing huge allergy issues for adult Humans...but there's actually a more positive side to the article.
Any future Cat Ladies & Cat Dudes should become acquainted with their first Cat as a kid. It will apparently lower the chance that you will become allergic as an adult.
A new study claims that Adult Cat People were nearly twice as likely as non-Cat People to develop sensitivity to Cats. But the risk was reduced in both childhood Cat People and those who, for various reasons (inexplicable to Felines in general) kept Kitties out of their bedrooms.
The Humans tested for this study were all Europeans, so what this is supposed to say about everyone else is a bit puzzling to little ol' me, but that's why I ain't a scientist, just a journalist. :-D
Via Reuters: Meow! Cats increase allergy risk in adults
3. Jackson Galaxy helps a New York Kitty train its Human to the Leash! Includes lots of tips, and a cool video! :-D
4. Will Robots someday replace Humans, as Animal Companions, in the affections of Felinity Assembled?
I think not, but this is still an interesting story, and video. :-D
5. This one is for all you Kitties who have a Human with a 90 yr. old parent, or grandparent who takes one look at you, wants to cuddle, and tells everyone within earshot that you are "the Cat's Pajamas!". :-D
I know, I know, your whiskers are twitching something fierce as you wonder WTM ( What The Meow?), I don't wear no PJ's? :-D
This story attempts to explain the backround of the term.
Me? I'm still trying to process the image of a Clam wearing a Garter! :-D
6. Project Pet Slimdown is a new effort by Purina, & Jenny Craig, to help Critters, and their Humans, both lose unwanted pounds.
It's an online resource that offers free weight-loss advice and exercise tips for Cats, Dogs, and other critters, and humans.
Exercise ideas, walks and even support from fellow dieting critters are all part of the site, which encourages Humans to work with their vet to design a diet and exercise weight-loss program for their Animal Companion.
7. The Cats of John Lennon. Very cool!
8. How many names do YOU have? Cute cartoon at Johnny Wander. :-D
9. AfCats: The Wildcats of Afghanistan.
Michael Yon shares images of some very cool Cats!
10. Shit Gay Guys Say to Their Cats is a very funny 2 1/2 min. video with some very adorable, and patient, Cats. :-D
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Those were all interesting stories.
Mommy and I really liked the Johnny Wander cartoon.
