A Hairball By Any Other Name Iz Still Me

Human2 always sez "We haz da technology. We can rebuild him" every time herz uses da furminator on me cause herz gets enuff fur to build a new kitteh.

So dis time herz did rebuild me! Here u can seed ma Mini Me made frum ma very own furs.

I am finkin of puttin it on eBay n sellin it fur charity like William Shatner did hiz kidney stone. MOL..

So all i did use to makes ma Mini Me wuz a Furminator and Human2's paws. Nuffin else. Well of course ma wunnerful shiny furs. MOL

Dis iz ma final inspekshuns of ma fur-self afore we sended da pikshur off to Romeo the Cat. You can see utter hairball critters ovah at PeoplePets.com (go ahed & check dem out).

Today iz National Hairball Awareness day and while our critters iz fun hairballs iz not. Did u knows...

• A cat spends 30% of its life grooming.
• Hairballs are caused when cats ingest hair during grooming. FURminator tools remove the loose hair from cats’ fur, which reduces the hairball problems and minimizes resulting constipation issues.
• Diets rich in fatty acids, like omegas 3 and 6, promote a healthy, shiny coat, which can help your pet shed less overall.
• Shedding is a natural process so you can’t eliminate shedding, but you can reduce it by up to 90% with FURminator deShedding products.

Five Poisonous Easter Plants

Do not nom dem flowers!

Easter iz comin and I wants all ma kitteh (and doggy furrends to be safe). I have made a list of the top 5 easter plants that are poisonous to cats (and dogs too). Please do not keep dem in your house dis Easter or any time)

Easter Lily (ALL Lilies)

Lilies are highly toxic to cats and can cause immediate kidney failure with only one leaf eaten. (Cats are more likely to be poisoned by the Easter Lily than dogs, but dogs and cats are both affected by all other lilies such as the Calla Lily and the Day Lily. It is best to just think of ALL Lilies as bad for animals.) Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy, excessive drinking and urination.

Hyacinth

This flower is part of the lily family and can be highly poisonous. Symptoms include: Intense vomiting, diarrhea (occasionally with blood), depression and tremors.


Daffodil

The bulb of this flower is the most dangerous part, but any part of the plant can cause sever problems. Symptoms of ingestion are vomiting, salvation, and diarrhea. If a large amount is eaten it can cause convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias.


Tulip

Again this flower is in the same family as the lily and like the Daffodil the bulb has the highest amounts of toxins. Symptoms to watch for are vomiting, depression, diarrhea, and extreme or hypersalivation.


Easter Rose

This plant is also known as Hellebore, Christmas Rose, or Lenten Rose. It is not a rose at all rather a bushy stalk with pinkish white flowers. Symptoms of ingestion are drooling, abdominal pain, diarrhea, colic, and depression.


For a complete list of toxic plants please  see the ASPCA's list of Plants Toxic to cats, dogs and horses.

Halp HSBC Gets a Robot fur da Kittehs

Da Humane Society of Berks did sends dis in der last newsletter....

A New Way to Help HSBC Animals

Interact with and Entertain Our Cats from Your PC

iPet Companion is a novel program that lets you remotely control a robotic toy in a playroom full of adoptable cats from any PC. Try it out at the Oregon Humane Society.

We don't have an iPet yet because the cost is a bit prohibitive, but we can't imagine a cooler way to interact with our adoptable cats and keep them exercised. And it's not all fun and games: statistics show that shelters with an iPet have drastically increased adoption rates because of the exposure their pets receive.

So, want to help us get one and improve our already stellar adoption rates?  It's easy: click the "Help Us Help Them" animation in the corner of the iPet live feed (after you're finished playing with those kittens) and follow the simple instructions.

With a little bit of luck and a lot of support, we can introduce this cutting-edge technology to the HSBC! 

So I did go and play wif da kittehs. It iz lots of fun and I could seed how dis would gets more people in to look at da kittehs in real life too. Dem robots costs $5200. Dats a lotta kitteh foods. So u can seed why dey iz askin fur us to halp dem by donatin. (I gonna donates soon az human2 turns herz back and I can gets herz wallet.) To donate go to Oregon Humane Society and play wif da kittehs (u will need to download/install microsoft's silverlight (or wotever it iz called -- but it a safe program to use) and when u are dun either click on da Help Us Help Them image. (when the controls disappear it comes back see ma top pikshur).

You will be taken to a two page explanashuns of wot dis robotic kitteh toy iz and who da company iz wot makes dem. Den iffen u wanna halp Humane Society of Berks County get one click on donate heart at bottom (see ma pikshur below).

Now you will seed a form (see bleow) to donates. fill it out and please choose Humane Society of Berks County from the drop down box so dey will hab da moneys credited to der account. I would ABSOLUTELY LUB to seed dem get dis. Can u halps us?
