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. Everything happens for a reason, and that includes how, and when, Felines find our Forever Homes.
Meet Pudding, a 21 lb. hunk of Feline Manhood, who has been in, and out, of the same Shelter, since 2003, but when he, and a companion, were adopted, yet again, they hadn't made themselves at home for more than a few hours before something happened that changed not only Pudding's life, but the life on one of his new Humans.
See Pudding, and read this remarkable story of how he is now registered as a Therapy Cat, via the Huffington Post.
2. This cool gadget is for all you Cool Clawed Cats with dreams of fame as a DJ. :-D
Tip of the Paw to the Coolest Gadgets website!
3. & 4. Yo, Cat Ladies (Not Lady Cats) ! Are you crazy for cosmetics? Paul & Joe have you covered! :-D
Grace Bonney, at Design Sponge, got a really cool Valentine's Day gift from her Mother.
As she writes:
"When I opened up the tiny Paul & Joe box I thought it was a box of face blotters (the kind that discreetly soak up excess oil), but it turned out to be a cat-themed and cat-shaped eye shadow! I’m not a huge makeup person, but if anything will get me to wear it, packaging shaped like a cat just might."
She has more about their full line of Cat-Themed cosmetics, & make-up, and a few images, too. :-D
She's a Cat Person, with one of her own, and the site has the Pet Product scene covered.
5. OK, Felinity Assembled, listen up! Your Toxoplasma gondii oocysts could be harmful to your Human. Truth Out! :-D
6. A new generation of chef-inspired Cat, and even Dog, Food? All because your Human is enamored of the "Foodie Revolution" that has transformed many kitchens into "four-star restaurants for pets", according to William Grimes in the New York Times.
The upshot of this fascinating 2 page article, with a slideshow, and graphic, is that...
“It is now considered socially acceptable to treat pets as members of the family and to express that by spending lavishly on them, especially when it comes to food,” according to David Lummis, the senior pet-industry analyst for Packaged Facts, a market research company."
Elvira would no doubt turn her nose up at any of the wet food. :-D
Read the story, here.
7. The Dutch sure do love their Pussies! Want proof? Over at Jaunted, writer Lilit Marcus shares scenes from a recent trip to Amsterdam that are fascinating, as readers are introduced to The Pussy Boat (A boat/animal sanctuary!), The Cat Art Museum, and Cats & Things. :-D
8. Feline Bodybuilders? Bodybuilding Cats, and Kittens? As disturbing, as it is funny, and even sort of cute, in a "Don't look at these pictures while high on catnip" sort of way. :-D
From the twisted mind of one of the Humans over at Modern Primate. :-D
9. Could a Cat become a US Senator? Love the campaign video! Meet Hank. :-D
10. Japanese Cat Lovers have their hackles up..."A revision to Japan's Animal Protection Law, due to come into force on June 1, will slap a curfew on the public display of cats and dogs, forcing cat cafes to shut up shop at 8 p.m."
Read this interesting story, and see a great picture, via Reuters.
11. The Real Housecats Of The Blogosphere Premiere Episode is airing NOW, over at Glogirly, and is very cool, and very funny. :-D
Yous guys always has all the news that is the news that catty cats want!
Kisses
Nellie
