Behind this edition of Slash’s Stash: I picked up this cigarette box that someone had apparently thrown on the ground. I can’t stand that people litter, it’s really sad. This was in a national forest even. I thought of this song so I hung on to it. Finally picked up some wine. Now I can recycle the cigarette box! (This Merlot by Cable Car is a nice easy-to-drink dry red wine for under $10.)

Fun music fact: It’s Bob Dylan’s birthday. Born Robert Allen Zimmerman May 24, 1941.

Special Note: Thanks to everyone who has sent well-wishes and love to Slash & I. We are having a lot of fun with this cat blog because of you, thank you!

After an exciting weekend in this blog world Slash and I well mainly just I, feel like a Miss Congeniality! You know they say that the most important award in queen pageants is Miss Congeniality, voted on by the contestants themselves. Only in this case we are not in a queen pageant (thankfully) so I owe this gratitude to my fellow blogging peers instead. Please allow us to explain. Slash will begin and then I’ll fill in the missing details.

Saturday kicked it all off with publishing our latest blog post called Cat Calling. Later on, we got a notification that foodtable//la vie e’clectique selected CatPurrology for its Reblog/Linkback Project. Our 1st reblog! Thanks again foodtable! (A wonderful blog about dining, food, lifestyle, travel, etc.)

It was hard to decide who to pass these awards on to since there are so many great blogs that I’m following. I wish I could have selected more and had more time to think it over.

A sincere THANK YOU to everyone for visiting CatPurrology and spreading the word that CATS ROCK! 

Let’s Rock & Roll Cat People!

Cat Calling

In the post titled 10 Facts About My Cool Cat Slash, I showed my old apartment (where I used to live when I met Slash) and featured some interesting things about him. There is another thing that he did which seemed more dog-like (just like laying flat to the ground), coming to us when he was called!

There was a round rock path that was between my apartment and his access to the underground street drainage system he went in and out of all the time. It was like his personal path from my home to his and he used it to go back and forth for his daily visits.

One day after visiting, Slash was leaving on his rock path and we started calling him from the balcony. “Slasher, where are you going kitty kitty, kitty? Here kitty kitty, come back Slash.” To our surprise, he turned around and came right back!

When he tried to leave again we waited then called “Don’t leave Slasher, come back here kitty kitty kitty.” Again he stopped and perked up as if thinking “that’s me they are talking to” so he turned around and came right back, looking up at us while swaying his tail back and forth as if saying “here I am, I’m a good kitty kitty see”.

Poor thing, it seemed as if he never had attention from anyone so it worked every time! He would always stop, turn around, and come right back. I had never experienced a cat listening like that when calling to it.

We no longer live at that apartment where Slash and I met so the rock path and our routine has changed. He still seems to react to being called as if it were a luxury. Perhaps sometimes not listening quite as well (laugh out loud) but still happy to have someone talking to him, making him feel wanted.

This is something that I hope for all the poor homeless stray and feral cats out there. Good luck to them getting by and hopefully finding a happy-ending with lots of love and attention just like Slash did!

(This makes me think of a cool cover of “Gettin’ By”, the Jerry Jeff Walker song performed by my favorite - Todd Snider! YouTube video is provided by EighteenMinutes.com.)

Show Mom Your Love And Help Cats Too!

For Mother’s Day, show mom you love her and help cats too!

If you already bought her a gift or you’re like me and don’t have much money to spend (if any). Send her a free e-card from Ally Cat Allies! They have 3 adorable cat cards to choose from which include information about helping cats. You can fill it out today and schedule it to be emailed tomorrow. They help spread the word about the work this organization is doing to help cats across the country.

Go wild if you have $20 to spend by giving her the gift of supporting the wildlife rescue efforts of NRDC (National Resources Defense Council). If she likes cats, together you can help protect the Canadian Lynx from the Tar Sands Mining.

The Canadian lynx makes its home in Canada’s dense boreal forest. But each year, this elusive member of the cat family loses more of its pristine habitat to destructive tar sands mining. Oil companies level out vast swaths of forest to extract heavily polluting tar sands oil, leaving a toxic wasteland in its place.

Your Green Gift will help NRDC stop the spread of tar sands mining and save the boreal home of the imperiled lynx. They will send her a personalized card or e-card. They have donation gifts available for other wildlife too like polar bears, whales, wolves, otters, etc.

Don’t forget about 600milliondogs.org. Your donation will help end an enormous amount of animal suffering due to overpopulation. They are developing a sterilization cookie for dogs currently and will move on to cats next!

Our mothers are important and so are cats. Give the gift that helps end suffering! Spread the love and help make this world a better place for all living things.

Cheers & Happy Mother’s Day!

Greetings Again Animal Protectors,

I received word from 600milliondogs.org that they currently could use help for 2 very specific needs. This organization runs completely on donations and volunteers. If there are any kind-hearted animal protectors who can help accomplish this great mission please consider volunteering in some way. Their current needs and contact info are listed below; also click here for more ways you can volunteer. Thanks in advance for helping innocent animals who are suffering terribly. Together we can make a difference!  – CP

1. PRINT SHOP NEEDED!

600 has a new address and they need to find a printer who will do one print job for free of anywhere from 100 to 1,000 new “Number 9 Envelopes”, that have special post office codes; this will also allow 600 to get a discount from the post office.

The printer can be located anywhere pretty much, and they can provide you with a receipt so you can deduct it from your taxes :^) A pdf of the approved envelope click here to see it is ready to send to any printer right away!

2. EXCEL PERSON NEEDED!
They need help from anyone who is fluent in Excel, the software known as xls.

If you can help donate your time to answer questions by phone or email, it would help 600 a lot!

To All My Fellow Cat & Dog Protectors,

After making a small donation awhile back to 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You at 600milliondogs.org (a non-profit with a mission I hold close to my heart), I received a personal email from the founder thanking me for donating. He also included this pdf attachment Introduction March 1 Pills to Sterilize Stray Dogs Instead of Spay Surgery which provides details on how they plan to accomplish their mission and how close they are to seeing it through. 

Please read the pdf from the link above to learn how we can end the needless suffering of dog and cat overpopulation which is far out of control. Remember that together we can make a difference. Thank you for your time and for reading about this solution.
