Rusty Dishes the News

Hi, Rusty here. Excuse me but I just had this sudden, inexplicable desire to eat, so please forgive me if I talk with my mouth full.

We can't believe this. Does this cat have a speech impediment? We can understand him perfectly. I"m hungry! Feed me! The human is obviously deaf, dumb and blind or cruel and heartless. (We're joking.) Here, see if you have any problem understanding what he is saying.

A couple weeks ago we reported on Jan's aborted flying attempt. We didn't mention she broke off 3 toenails when she tripped over the upraised cement because she didn't realize it until last week when her toes started to hurt and the sharp edges were discovered. Then yesterday morning she tucked in a corner of the blankets on the bed and rammed her pinky into what felt like a metal spring. When the bleeding stopped, she discovered she had torn the nail halfway across her finger - well below where it should be. So she claims she'll need even more computer time because it takes longer to type with 9 fingers than with 10. Percy offered to type for her but she declined.

Sniff, sniff ... we're starting to feel like this is just Jan's computer since it's always our computer time that gets cut back, not hers. Okay, she has important things that have to be done because humans can't survive without green papers, but couldn't she do them late at night while we sleep?

The auction to raise funds to build Chrystal's new cat house has begun. Drop by Furriends of the CB Auctions and check out the items - maybe even bid on one or two. Or at least tell your friends about it. In case you aren't acquainted with Chrystal, you can visit her here.

And a reminder that our neighbors Friends of Pike County Animals needs your daily vote to get an adoption and education center in their rural Georgia county. You can vote here.
