Lucky Cats

I love cats.  I always have.  Now, my friend Al and I  are doing cat and dog rescue in SE Kansas.  There is a GREAT need here.  It happened so quickly after moving here from N. Ca.  So many "strays" and ferals roaming the streets.  Helpless puppies running the highways and country roads.  Just recently, we took in 4 mothers with their kittens, all living on the streets after the woman who had the adult females passed away, leaving her poor cats w/no home.  Now, they are all safe, the mommas are spayed and the kittens are all scheduled for spay/neuter in several months.  Our latest doggy addition is LADY who was running down a deserted country road in the rain, her paw pads were ripped and torn and bleeding.  We scooped her up into the truck and took her home.  So it has gone for us; filling in where others seem not to notice or just don't care.  I can't imagine being that way.

I looked for blog sites to begin writing in an effort to find others who share my feelings.  I hope to find other kindred souls, particularly those who are capable of spreading their love to animals.  I am an animal advocate, protector and I will stand up for the rights of the sentient beings who share this earth with us. 

After sampling several other places, I decided upon HubPages because there are more options available to me...ie: pictures, arrangement and slideshow potential.  This site is very easy to navigate.

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a professional writer.  I just enjoy writing, hoping that I can touch others in a way that allows them to feel a part of something.  I have always appreciated the 'security' in knowing that I am not alone in my feelings and fantasies, life choices and crazy ideosyncracies....I want to share that comfort zone with others so that, hopefully, they feel as I do about not being alone.

I have found that writing is a great cartharsis.  When I am particularly happy, I enjoy sharing this emotion.   When I feel deeply sad, writing helps to lessen the intensity.  Placing value on events, places, people and, specially, my animal companions by writing about them, helps me to share their worth, their absolute  importance in my life and the lives of others.  Each tribute is a eulogy for loved ones who have passed.  Some of these might find their way on these pages; most will not.

I hope to touch others as I have so felt influenced by the words I am reading here.
