Judd, Jack and Schmoo

Judd’s wife, Cynthia, sent along these photos of Judd with their cat Jack and their oldest cat, Schmoo.

Cynthia already had Schmoo living with her before meeting Judd, but Judd thought Schmoo needed a friend — so they adopted Bean, a Maine Coon mix, to keep him company. Then Cynthia began volunteering at the ASPCA, fostering pregnant cats and mom cats with litters of kittens. From one of these litters came Panda and Cosmo (Judd insisted on keeping two kittens rather than one). Jack came from another foster litter. Judd and Cynthia also have several foster cats, including Bessie, Ollie and Chris.

All in all, Cynthia and Judd share their lives – and their home – with eight cats!

Bikers rescue cats

And by bikers, I mean motorcycle riders, not cyclists!

 A group of tattooed bikers rescued 180 stranded kittens yesterday afternoon, as part of their ‘in your face’ approach to animal rights activism. They call themselves Rescue Ink. The cats were all living in a single house in Moriches, New York, that is currently facing foreclosure. When the bikers heard about the soon-to-be homeless cats, they rushed to the scene. Today they begin the task of rescuing and rehabilitating the 180 felines, a job that will take about a week.
