They may be cats, but they’re family.They have their own purposes, just like we do.

When I’d been having a bad day, I’d come home and Fukumaru would come up to me, and say: “miaow!” (cheer up!). He saved me so many times.

Fukumaru was like my wonderful elder brother.

You really did your best, Fukumaru. Thank you.

I’ll see you again some day. Until then, goodbye.

Congrats to France on new President Macron~

—In his victory speech Sunday after being elected France’s next president, Emmanuel Macron made an unusual promise for a national leader: “I will work to mend the bond between Europe and its peoples.”
…Macron knows his first task is to reform a France where 25 percent of youth are unemployed and where government spending eats up 57 percent of the gross national product. To do that, his fledgling centrist party, En Marche! (Forward!) will need to win an election in June for a new French Parliament.

Great Warning ahead of Election:

If this post is not fluffy enough for you, sorry but…neither is politics~!

One of the murder victims in the London Bridge attack was a 30-yr old Canadian bride-to-be, who went to London to visit her fiancé.

‘Please honour Chrissy’
The first person to be named as killed in Saturday’s attacks was Canadian Chrissy Archibald, who was originally from British Columbia.
Ms Archibald, who worked in a homeless shelter until she moved to Europe, died in the arms of her fiancé, Tyler Ferguson, on London Bridge.
“She had room in her heart for everyone and believed strongly that every person was to be valued and respected,” the family statement said. “She would have had no understanding of the callous cruelty that caused her death.
“Please honour her by making your community a better place. Volunteer your time and labour or donate to a homeless shelter. Tell them Chrissy sent you.”

One innocent among so many others. No one has answers, only words and more words and a sense of helplessness. I only have anger – intense anger. 😡 😥

Thanks JK and PG for your responses. It’s good to see that there are caring people in the world. Of course with TDKers it’s a natural trait!

Crissy had a degree in social work and worked in a homeless shelter among the toughest clientele – a shelter that accepted people who were intoxicated with alcohol, drugs or both (I have a friend who works in a homeless shelter and you have to be tough as well as caring for such a job). Alas she was not the only victim who worked in a caring profession. Australian nurse Kirsty Boden, working in London, actually ran towards the attack to help victims and was killed herself. I believe that some of the paramedics were also injured, as was a man with training in martial arts who tried to overcome the terrorists.

Funny, Crissy and Kirsty are very similar names, and they were about the same age.

Today’s News as a Lighter Furry/Purry Version:

Beloved Cat Turns 15, So Family Throws Her A Quinceañera

A family in Charlotte, North Carolina decided to throw their cat, Luna, a beautifully frilly quinceañera for her 15th birthday.

“She’s not just an ordinary cat, she’s a member of our family,” one of her owners, Brigitte Olavarria, told HuffPost. “She has a big personality and it doesn’t go unnoticed”.

I loved that and sent it to friends. She put up with that indignity with great … dignity, since a 15-year-old cat is far from adolescence. They enjoyed the fluffy story after such horrible news everywhere.

Must Share follow up story on Heather Heyer’s Mother:

…Bro added, “I’m also extremely sorry that he chose to kill my child and to injure a bunch of other people. He didn’t have the right to do that … This wasn’t a video game, buddy. This was real people. There are real consequences to what you did, and I’m sorry you chose to do that. You have ruined your life. You’ve disturbed mine. You took my child from me, and I’m going to be the voice she can no longer be.”

“I want her death to be a rallying cry for justice and equality and fairness and compassion,” she said.

Tried to share video of Heather Heyer’s Memorial Service but didn’t come up…
So…still must share as reminder during this dark time in the US:

“They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what? You just magnified her,” Heather Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, says at her memorial service.

It’s official: Cardinals won’t be getting Rally Cat

St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach is still looking for someone to adopt the cat, Watkins said.

Watkins said the group has not yet decided how to pick which family will get the little kitten.

“We are looking for a serendipitous match,” Watkins said.

For now, Rally Cat is being housed with a volunteer and needs to gain more weight before it can be adopted.

People interested in adopting Rally Cat can email the organization at 314-669-5228 or email at stlouisferalcatoutreach@gmail.com.
