Cats

I was so saddened to hear the news that our good friend Skeezix has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. We knew he didn't have long left but had hoped he could stay with the Food Lady and Mr Tasty Face for a while longer. My mum, brother Eric and I would enjoy reading of his adventures and seeing his trips in his stroller. He will be remembered as a great fashionista too.We send our condolences to his family and Mao and Tripper.You will never be forgotten Skeezy. Be happy and pain free at the Bridge with all your friends.

These guys have been amazingly chill. They sit back and sleep while I do work and they play around with each other. Best cats I have ever met.”“They are 14… but they are energetic as a 2 year old.”14 year old brother and sister cats find their forever home after one and a half years of living in the shelterHer own toy boxHe has taken over his human’s bedAt their comfortable homePhotos via imgur. 14 Year Old Brother And Sister Cats Get Adopted Together, originally appeard on LoveMeow.com

A tiny three week old kitten survived a 1,000 mile trip inside the engine of a car. Two days later, the kitten was found and an animal rescue group and a tow truck company worked together to get him out safely.The car owner called Julia Di Sieno, the founder of Animal Rescue Team, Inc and said that she believed there was a stray cat trapped somewhere inside her car. Later, she was advised to contact the police department and ask them to call animal control.Julia said: “Animal control was dispatched, an officer showed up, and he thought perhaps the kitten was no longer in the compartment.”But she got another phone call from the car owner later that afternoon, saying she could still hear the cat. “I had to go do something,” she said.It took them a while and a lot of team work to locate the kitten. They got help from a tow truck company so that they could lift up the car to look underneath. Eventually they found the kitten lodged in the silver Honda Fit’s engine compartment.“I was concerned about this kitten because it had been in the car engine for two or three days. I put on latex gloves, and I managed to get my hands in there until I had a little kitten and wiggled it through.”The kitten was dehydrated and had an infected eye. She received treatment and is expected to make a full recovery.“He is very tame now, purring, and finally eating. We’ve been treating him with antibiotics.”“The moment I pulled him up, it was so exhilarating,” she said. They named the kitty Love after the owner of the tow truck company for volunteering to help in the rescue.Watch video below.Tiny 3 week old kitten traveled 1,000 miles inside a carAfter the car owner heard the cat meowing, she got help from an animal rescue group and a tow truck company.They pulled the kitten out of the engine compartment safely.The little kitty was dehydrated and had an eye infection, but is expected to make a full recoveryHe is safe now, purring and eating.Watch Video:Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.Source: Daily Mail.

Consultants love to share their boundless vocabulary of ridiculous phrases and mangled words. Management types seem to have a knack for seamlessly assimilating this new vocabulary into their language, forcing the rest of us to grit our teeth and deal with it long after the consultant has gone. Cats, being more intelligent than consultants, refuse to tolerate this crap -- and since they don't need a paycheck, they'll be glad to tell your boss what these words really mean and exactly where they can put them. Let's join some cats on a trip to the jargon basement and see what they make of these 10 commonly heard corporate cliches. 1.
