Music videos. Remember those? Recently I happened to catch an episode of NY Noise, and I saw this great video of the song “House Clouds” from the Liars. The video features a shirtless man (the lead singer) cuddling and nuzzling a little kitten. Later in the video, the other band members cuddle with a dog and an orange tabby cat! Altogether now: Awwwwwwwww.
For those of you who love pets and are on Facebook, make sure you join the PUPP group. PUPP (Partners United for People and Pets) is a new nonprofit organization devoted to helping individuals in need with pet care assistance, and I am glad to be on their Board of Directors.
There’s been good news on the Brooklyn store cat front, but also some sad news. The liquor store LeNell’s (which has a great selection of wine with animals on the labels), in Red Hook, reported in their newsletter,
“Our sweet little Whiskey kitty got run over last week. She will be missed. LeNell was out of town at her 20th high school reunion (thank heavens she survived that) when it happened. Some very sweet neighbors buried her in Ben’s backyard and poured some whiskey on her grave in LeNell’s absence. The shop won’t be the same without her. ”
Sorry, LeNell, to hear about the loss of your cat.
The commenter on the previous post about Liberty the cat is correct – She has been found!! A sign in the window of Beastly Bite confirms that Liberty has been returned to her pet-store life of window napping, treats, and pets from all. Hooray!!!!
Let’s see if we can continue with our success of finding homes for cats who need them after saving Boris! Gwendoline, a cat currently residing in New York City, needs a new home. Her owner, Jessica, has the opportunity to relocate to Africa for her dream job of a socially responsible trade company. How cool is that? There is just one hitch: Gwendoline needs a new place to live! Understandably, Jessica doesn’t want to give Gwendoline to a shelter where she won’t know what the fate of her beloved cat might be. Jessica says Gwendoline is 10 years old, and “the sweetest cat I have ever known. Sensitive and
smart, she has never had one medical issue of personality issue. She has all of her claws and I trained her to scratch on exposed brick, however if her front claws are kept trim she does not scratch on anything. She is medium haired, tortoise colored coat with green eyes. She has a favorite toy, a bean bag rat that she tosses up in the air, talks to and caries around the house. She eats laying down and scoops one kernel of food into her mouth at a time. When I wake she comes straight up to me and stokes my face with her paw. Every day starts with her delicate nature.”
If you can adopt the super-cute Gwendoline, or know someone who can, please contact me at janine at menandcats dot com, and I will put you in touch with Jessica.
