The Feral Cat Report:  UPDATE!
Re: Baby Grace... The Blinded Kitten
in Urgent Need Last Issue

The 4-week old calico kitten we found blind from infection and in such desperate need of care last issue found foster care with a volunteer from Bobbi & The Strays.  Thanks to the efforts of our good friend Penny, forwarding and posting our urgent bulletin far and wide, a place for this poor baby was found in the nick of time.  (continued...)

"Ghost Cats!"
Creator's Blog for Halloween 2009
Dia De Los Muertos (Gatos!)

Are there cat ghosts?  Do the spirits of our deceased pets continue on after death as many believe our own souls do?  Many who have lost a beloved cat can tell  a tale of that cat's spirit returning from the other side to visit... days, weeks, months, sometimes years after their passing.  Sometimes once only to say goodbye, sometimes frequently over many years.

You don't have to convince me.  I have as many cat ghosts as I've had cats.  And you know how many that is.

Our Halloween Entertainment Picks
Cool and Spooky Books & Movie

Book:
Phantom Felines and Other Ghostly Animals, by Gerina Dunwich
Tale after true tale of cat ghosts and other four-legged apparitions contributed by people from all over the world.  Includes a number of legends and documented cases, such as the Legend of Black Shuck, and the Ghost Cat of King John's Hunting Lodge.  A great Halloween book for cat lovers.  
Four claws up.

DVD:
Wallace and Gromit, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
A vegetarian horror film.  Hands down, and by a large margin, this is the most ingenious, most entertaining, most adorable animated film I have ever seen.  One can't overstate the greatness of this movie.  If you haven't seen it yet, RUN as fast as you can to the DVD store.  Or click here to put it on your Netflix NOW.
Five Claws up.  Our highest recommendation.

The Top Ten Things That Terrify a Putty Tat
(don't do these at home... if you can help it)

#10 - the crinkling of aluminum foil

#9 - ripping duct tape

#8 - the nail clippers

#7- a barking dog

#6 - your suitcase

#5 - the Super (what did he ever do?)

#4 - the vacuum cleaner (understandably)

#3 - soap and water

#2 - the veterniarian

and the dreaded, the horrible, fearful, the loathesome, disgusting number one thing that terrifies a cat.....

drum roll.......

#1 - no more tuna
