Bettie White Pin Up Girl


We lub Bettie White and it apparent everybuddy else does too! Check out dis "pin-up" calendar of our favorite golden girl.

Betty White calendar for 2011, featuring twelve glorious months of Betty, the beloved actress, comedienne, and surprisingly hot-hot-hot celebrity. At age 88, Betty White has a hit show—Hot in Cleveland. Made Saturday Night Live funny again when NBC gave her the guest-host spot at the urging of a 500,000-member Facebook campaign. And starred, with Abe Vigoda, in the year’s #1 Super Bowl commercial (Snickers). She is classy, earthy, unassuming, a winner of multiple Emmy awards and an outspoken advocate for animal charities. And she’s got a fantastic sense of humor about herself. Now that’s our kind of pin-up girl.

Betty White’s royalties for dis calendar goes to support Morris Animal Foundation. How pawsum iz dat?

Beary Sad Fings Happenin In Reading, PA

I did hab a pawsum time at BlogPaws and did lern lots about how I can "Be The  Change", but den I come home to beary sad news dat makes me fink I can neber make a difference even fur one lil kitteh.

Da Animal Rescue League of Berks County (Reading) needs sum edumakashuns when it comes to dealin with kittehs and dis makes me beary, beary sad. Dey iz one of ma two local shelters dat I visit, donate supplies and money too (the other is the Humane Society of Berks). Unless ARL straightens out der act I am going to do wot ever I can to let people know NOT to surrender ANY animal there and possibly even pull their support (I will be turnin all ma efforts toward HSBC & One by One Rescue in future).

Last week the story of Skittles the kitty and her two kittens was on the front page of the Reading Eagle. Dat poor porr Skittles wuz put down by the time da lady had gone out to her car and came back in wif da kittens! I completely understand the need for open-door shelters such as these but when they are this quick to put down an animal because the staff is unaware of the normal behavior of a frightened and disoriented cat -- that is uncalled for in ma book! While I would lub for NO animal to ever be put down for any reason, this one story iz beary shocking.

Harry D. Brown III, executive director of the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, explains the policy for surrendering animals and adds two new policies that are only being put in place to cover der own butts! These new policies are not good enuff! They must have sum kind of waiting period putted in place and attempt to find the owners of strays (many strays are lost and hab families lookin fur dem).

Fank goodness da lady scooped dem kittens rite back up and marched out dem door. da two kittehs, Pinky and Boogers are now in a NO-KILL shelter and are available for adoption thru One by One Cat Sanctuary.

Den u hab idiots like dis one dat doz not read the whole article or simply wants der name in da papers with der ignorant rant about the original artikle. Yes, dey makes a valid point about spay/neuter, but that iz da only correct fing dey say in der letter to da editor of da paper. If u takes a pregnant cat in to be spayed dat iz called abortion. (And I iz qwite sure dat lady would be against aborshuns.)

As if all dis iz not enuff, today human1 goes ta werk to be shown 3 lil kittens wot should neber eber hab been removed from der mother. A guy at herz job did find dem in his wood pile and brought dem in to werk. Peeples wot are not edumakated in da ways of feral kittehs should keeps der paws off dem until dey know fur sure da mother iz not simply out gettin food or moving da kittehs to anutter location.

Fank goodness der wuz a lady der wot had experience wif hand feedin & birfin da lil babehs utterwise he wuz takin dem to da Humane Society (and we nose wot happens to lil bitty babehs at da humane society). Human2 had leaky eyes all day until herz herd about dis lady takin dem in and takin cares of dem.

We plan on edumakatin dis city about feral kittehs. Spekt more frum us on Feral Cat Day Oct. 16th!

Crazy Squirrel Weekend


Yesterday I wuz hanging out in ma Kritter Kondo wif Human1 when all of da sudden da squirrel wot usually teases da neighbor kitty, Tater, decided to sneak over and  bother me.


Der he iz over at Tater's house mindin he own business when...


...he gets it in he little squirrel head to sneak over da fence and...


...head over to ma house. Where....


...he climbed ma tree and sat der lookin at me. But dat wuz not good enuff for him. O, NO! He got it in he lil squirrel brain dat I wuz da intruder and he started yellin and yellin at me! No fair I sez. Dis iz ma house you are da intruder here Mr. Squirrel.


Den today he came back again while I was in ma Kritter Kondo. This time we sat on a rock in ma garden right in front of me! I tried to get him but I ran right into the netting of ma Kondo's back doors stopping me from getting in trouble for sure! Just as I did dat a car comed down the alley and would have sqwished me dead. Ma Kritter Kondo did truly keep dis indoor kitty safe outdoors today!

Review of da Dog Sitter DVDs

A lil while back I did do a review of da Cat Sitter DVDs and even showed a video of how much fun dey are to watch. well dat review did spark a few questions frum ma doggy pals about dem Dog Sitter Videos wot I had never seed since I iz a kitteh.

Well human2 & I did fink we needed to know wot we were taking about so herz did get me copies to watch fur all ma pup pals!



Well right of da bat let me tells you....frum a kitteh's point of view da first DVD iz paws down da best one. Well at least it wuz da one dat me and ma sisfur Abby did watch most. We were a lil skeered cause da video starts out wif cowbot monkeys on da backs of border collies while dem border collies were herdin sheeps (sawry none of dem wuz Shaun da Sheep). But den it turned to da great out-of-doors and showed crows & squirrels in da great outdoors.


I thoughted da crow wuz purrty cool, but I also thought all da "prey" on da moovie wuz purrty darned nice. Da dog ridin monkey cowboys are funny, but not too interestin fur us kittehs.


Der wuz duckies every where on ma TV. So Dog Sitter Volume 1 is a mix of anipal & sum doggies doin stuffs, wot should be loads of fun fur doggies to watch.


Here you can see how i am beary interested in dat squirrel and so iz Abby. You will be able to hear da crow & da crickets & doggies barkin in da video at da end of dis post.


I got a lil bored wif da Dog Sitter Volume 2 So I did acide to takes a much needed bath. I wuz rollin in da dirt yesterday so it about time to clean! *lick lick lick*

Dog Sitter Volume 2 iz all doggies doin agility fings & while ma humanz did watch it I gotted bored. I finks iffen I were a dog I would hab liked it more. Lots of barks & different dogs to see. I fink it should hab had some squeaky toy sounds for added attraction for sum dogs like ma pal Busy Buttons.
