May 22nd is my first Gotcha Day anniversary! Let's party!Who could resist this ad on Craig's List? Look at my giant paws!Mom had been searching for a new kitty and having the worst luck. Lots of hoops to jump through, or she'd be drawn to a kitty online only to find it was already adopted. She purayed to Angel Fin and Cod to help her find the right kitten. A sweet girl kitten. The next morning she randomly clicked on Craig's List and the first listing was for Free Long-Haired Kittens. She clicked on the picture with her heart racing and saw the picture above. Her fingers flew to respond that if I was a girl she wanted me. She could hardly wait to go and meet me. My rescuer Kacie had promised to find me and my furblings the best families. She Googled Mom's email address and found Fin's blog and book. Kacie had been heart broken about giving me up but was so happy that she would be able to watch me grow up from a far. She knew I would be loved by so many people. She still reads the blog to look after me too! ::Waves hi and purrs:: The vet had told Kacie I was a girl, and that is just what my parents needed to hear... They also heard my squeak and it sealed the deal. By the time they realized I was a boy I had already won them over. I had a home and a family who couldn't love me more. A very happy ending to a story that began with three scared and hungry kittens living outside under a door. A special cheer to all my human friends who help in big ways and small to rescue kitties like me and give them a happy life filled with love!!Please enjoy the Gotchaversary e-snacks - but eat them quick or Greyson will eat your share... just meowin.

Petunia the cat was found with a big belly that was ready to pop. What she didn’t know was that her journey from the day she delivered her kittens till the day they were all adopted out was witnessed by thousands of people on the internet.On March 18, six tiny babies were born healthy at Roche’s Fort Langley home of Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS). Petunia, a young cat, jumped into the role of a mom right away and started grooming and nursing the little ones.Thousands of people around the world watched the kittens grow from tiny fuzz balls whose eyes weren’t even opened to playful little kitties that wreaked hevoc around the foster home. Through a kitty cam, Petunia and her litter of kittens touched the hearts of thousands upon thousands. People couldn’t get enough of their cuteness.Just a few days ago, they were on their way to their forever homes. It was bitter sweet to the caretakers at LAPS, but knowing they will be living in a permanent home with people that love them, it makes all the hard work worthwhile.6 tiny kittens born to stray cat mama Petunia at Langley Animal Protection SocietyThousands upon thousands of people watched them live on kitty camPetunia and her kittensThey got bigger… on their way to their forever homesPhotos by Langley Animal Protection Society.

Cats love laundry baskets. (Duh.) My Phoebe was born with fresh-laundry detection skills. She can be anywhere in the house and as soon as I place a basket of the good stuff on the floor, she's all over it. Even if there's no warm laundry to be had, my cats openly pledge unconditional love to the basket. Share this image Phoebe likes to play musical laundry baskets. function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) Personally, I don't see the big deal about baskets. The pile of clothing itself is far more comfy than folding myself up like a won ton in a plastic container. Trust me, I tried. Share this image I think warm laundry feels just fine without a basket. But then again, I'm not a cat. function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) Cats, on the other hand, somehow find a multitude of reasons why they think baskets are just plain awesome. Here are six of them: 1. Peep holes Share this image Photo by candycanedisco"> Photo by candycanedisco"> "I see you eating a second cupcake." Photo by candycanedisco function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) Cats are pretty sneaky, and the holes that usually line the sides of laundry baskets are the perfect little windows for kitties to keep tabs on the goings-on in the house. This is how they know we've left our pizza and glasses of water unattended. 2. You see nothing Share this image Phoebe: "I'm invisible." function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) Cats think tall baskets make them invisible. The funny part is, they don't realize the whole basket is usually covered with holes, so they really aren't hiding much at all. We won't tell them that, though. I often open the closet door and find Phoebe sitting in the basket just like this. Sometimes she's even sitting in complete darkness. Why? Cats are so weird. 3. Close quarters Share this image Photo by Patrick Hoesly"> Photo by Patrick Hoesly"> "A little privacy, please." Photo by Patrick Hoesly function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) Laundry baskets provide the perfect hideaway for clandestine cuddles. Cats love tight spaces and a cozy plastic love nest is just begging for up close and personal feline-to-feline fondling, bathing, and catnaps. At a friend's house, I once saw three cats chillin' in a rectangular laundry basket. When I approached them, they exited that thing like clowns piling out of a tiny car. Cue circus music! It was high-larious. 4. Expandable lounge area Share this image

We’ve all heard about tortitude, snobby white cats, and universally loving tabbies -- but just how true are these behavioral expectations? I suspect that they’re really not as true as most people think, and I know that stereotyping cats based on the color of their fur does more harm than good. How many people turn away from adopting a black cat or an orange tabby female because of what they think they know about how “those cats” act? Here’s a run-down of eight common kitty stereotypes. Share this image Orange tabby cat by Shutterstock"> Orange tabby cat by Shutterstock"> Orange tabby cat by Shutterstock function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) 1. Ginger cats are more friendly than others Maybe it’s because of Garfield the cat, or maybe it’s because people just seem to know more orange cats (whether they’re straight-up orange or orange tabby) and associate them with good experiences, but lots of people think ginger kitties make the ideal family pet. Share this image Once Kissy overcame her deepest trauma, she was a sweet and loving companion who loved to curl up with me after a long day. function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) 2. But wait! Ginger cats are also thought of as more aggressive and flighty I’m guessing this belief is a corollary of the stereotype that red-haired humans are hot-tempered and moody. Those poor ginger females are apparently in a constant state of PMS and ginger males are like the guys that get in huge fights every time they go out to a bar. Totally miserable roommates, right?

Photo by JaneA Kelley function changeWidth(obj) { if(parseInt($(obj).parent().width()) > parseInt($(obj).width())) { $(obj).parent().css({'width':$(obj).width()}); } if(parseInt($(obj).width()) 3. White cats are snobs Blame that cat food commercial with the white Persian eating gourmet food out of a crystal bowl for this one. Some research has revealed that white cats tend to be more timid than cats of other colors, and if you were a shy kid like I was, you probably got called a snob because your fear of approaching people was mistaken for arrogance and condescension.

Torties and calicos are stubborn and temperamental Ah, this myth rears its ugly head again. The truth is that people who think a cat is going to have a certain temperament will approach that cat with the expectation of that behavior. And then there's the classic “Texas Sharpshooter” logical fallacy -- finding a pattern to fit a presumption -- which causes people to chalk up perfectly normal cat behavior to “tortitude."
