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
Good evening Felinity Assembled, Nikita here.
It's been 2 months since the last edition, so...
Let's get this show on the road!

We also encourage you to visit and explore our page devoted to Militarty Service Animals:

5 and 6. Next time you look at your Human and try to pull a "Woe is Me" look for something you want...consider the story, and 20+ videos, about a two legged cat, born without a pelvis or back legs, who is simply awesome and inspiring. :-D
7. Here in Texas, dumping Kittens IS considered illegal dumping.
8 and 9. From Global Animal in 2011: Cooney’s Law Fights To Stop Animal Abusers, Violent Criminals, in Nevada.

If Famous US Presidents Were Replaced With Cats
Yeah, I didn't buy it, either. But they ARE cute. :-D
Thanks for all the news. I am really glad that more laws are being enacted to protect animals.
