Amazing Mews!

You won't believe this. And I mean you won't believe this. Until you read this that is.. and realize it's thanks to kind hearted, cat-loving people that made this possible!
As you all know, if you have read my latest blog post, Mommy almost had to give us away! How traumatizing! My kitty whiskers! We love Mommy so much and she loves us so much and the world wouldn't be a world if she didn't have us as cats!
But, you won't believe this.... one of Mommy's friends just so happens to have a friend who has a friend who just may be able to foster us! That means she will keep us until Mommy moves out of the house she's living in and then... she can have us back! This is purrfect news and I am oh,so excited!

I want to give a few purrs and meows out to..
My dear friend, Jennifer who so kindly offered her support and help and was instrumental in helping us find a possible foster home, and to her cat, my dear furr-friend, Nerissa, of Nerissa's Life (the award winning, world famous cat  who has a blog) for all your help and support during this difficult time. You are purr-fectly pawsome!
And I want to thank Eileen for being so kind as to referee us to your friend who just may be fostering us! And I want to thank Eileen's friend for considering (although nothing is official yet) fostering us! You have made our day! Thank you so much! Hugs and kitty purrs
Sincerely, Sherlock, Ash and Traveler

It is  with a heavy, broken heart that I share this news:
As you know, I have been adoptive cat-owner of my 3 loving kitties: Sherlock, Ash and Traveler, and I love them more than anything else.
They are the most loving, sweet and funny cats one could ask for and I'm so blessed to call them mine.
But recently we were forced to move from the house we had been renting for almost 2 years and due to that we were put under a huge amount of stress. We didn't have much time to find a new place and when we finally found a seemingly decent house we were faced with devestating news: our inhumane landlady is forcing us to give up my dear cats!
This is both tragic and nerve-wrecking: my cats are well behaved and loving, they've done nothing to her and she has no right to be so cruel! I change the litterbox daily and the cats are in good condition so what's the problem,here? They're not de-clawed but so what? They aren't damaging her property--they're just being loving cats!
I don't know what to say but since it's a year lease we can't move.
I can't bear to give up my cats and there is NO WAY they are going to the shelter!
I have done my best to ask all my friends, I'm tweeting about it shortly after I set up a page "Home for Sherlock", and doing everything else I can. But I'm asking you to please, please, spread the news and let your friends know. They are loving cats in need of a good home and I will cry when they are adopted out, but there may be another option.
Here's the good news:
I believe the local SPCA has a feline foster care program and if so, my cats could be placed in the program and stay in a good, loving home until circumstances change and we're able to adopt them back and keep them forever.
For the mean time, I'm asking around and if you know anyone in need of a cat, please contact me via twitter, facebook or e-mail: catgirlkathleen@gmail.com

What have the Kitties been up to today?

Hey furr-friends, it's Sherlock, senior editor here at my very own feline-friendly blog: Weekly mews.
I came on here to meow out something most of you have been wondering yourself... what have the kitties been up to today?
Well, to be honest... we haven't really been "up to" anything.. at all. Yes, I know cats are known for always getting into mischief, and that is true for cats like Traveler (my pal), but with the days so hot and summer so warm, we just haven't had time for trouble.
Except Traveler, that is! Let me give you a taste of the trouble Traveler has been up to...

 Last night, for example, he jumped right onto mommy's head while she was sleeping and scared her half to death! Not to mention he clawed her,too! But no worries, he doesn't have very sharp claws so it really doesn't hurt. Although coming from most cats it usually does. And he didn't do it for 'meanness' as it may sound, he just did it because he's a cat and besides that fact he's also a very bored one who likes to surprise humans. Most of the time it's good surprises, but this time it was not. And I just stood by and watched (just like all cats would do).
Anyway, besides that, like I mentioned earlier: we have been doing nothing it seems like! And I mean nothing!
I guess because it's so hot out these days we haven't had time for anything fun.
No, don't get me wrong:I'm not saying we don't have time for fun, (because we are fun!) I'm saying that it's so hot out all we really want to do is sit around and relax.
So, that's what we have been doing! And honestly, compared to some of our feline friend's wild lives, it seems like nothing and feels like nothing.
So we decided to sit around and let the summer go by: rather watch the summer go by in the comfort of our feline-fantastic home.
And that's what we've been doing these days. But really it's not all that boring as some cats may think... actually it's rather refreshing!
We get  extra beauty sleep which is what all cats need, we get to sit around and relax and enjoy ourselves... and honestly that's about as great as it can get. I mean, this is coming from a cat. We enjoy ourselves quite often and assume naturally all others do and will. Just look at me! Total relaxation...

                        ********WHAT'S THE MEOW FOR TODAY???***********
BREAKING MEWS: THE KITTIES ARE MOVING?
For those who have been keeping up with this blog, you all are aware that I, Sherlock, and my pals: Ash and Traveler, are moving!
Well, let me tell ya: we are! In fact, we just did a few days ago. Actually, to be purr-fectly accurate, we still are well into the process of moving. Mommy has been working very hard today: moving all those boxes full of my kitty stuff (cat beds, cat tree, food&water bowls, cat toys ect.)
But she decided to take a break and so now Grandpa and Auntie and Grandma are doing all the work. But don't worry. They're in pretty good shape for their age so it all works out.
Meanwhile, I have been lounging around, taking it easy and blogging.
Frankly, I think I'm getting pretty good at this stuff (if I don't say so myself)
My ego has gotten one big BOOST  and I'm happy to say I feel purr-fectly pawsome!!
You know, there's nothing better than being a cat, laying around in the lap of luxury and being loved. There really isn't. And for most cats, that's exactly what we're doing right now.
But I really came on here to say this:

  The Growing Amount of Stray Cats Continues to Grow.. AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO PUT A STOP TO THIS SAD TRAGEDY IN THE FELINE COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!
 HERE'S A FEW EASY WAYS TO HELP STOP THE AMOUNT OF CATS WITHOUT LOVING HOMES:
1.SO GET THE MEOWS OUT, CATS AND HAVE YOUR OWNERS GET YOU FIXED (SPAYED/NEUTERED.) UNLESS OF COURSE YOU ALREADY ARE, THEN PAW UP TO YOUR OWNERS AND GIVE 'EM ONE BIG KITTY HUG!!!! BECAUSE GETTING A CAT FIXED IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU COULD DO TO HELP END THE GROWING AMOUNT OF STRAY CATS IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND AROUND THE WORLD.

2. IF YOUR OWNERS ARE CONSIDERING ADOPTING A NEW FELINE, MAKE SURE THEY CHECK THE LOCAL ANIMAL RESCUE/SHELTER FIRST. THERE ARE Plenty OF CUTE, CUDDLY AND LOVING KITTIES OUT THERE THAT ARE JUST WAITING TO FIND A FOREVER HOME!!! HAVE COMPASSION!!! GO TO YOUR LOCAL SHELTER FIRST.
DON'T: GO TO BREEDERS!
3: SPEAK FOR CATS!! BE THEIR VOICE!!
ENCOURAGE YOUR OWNERS TO VOTE FOR POLITICIANS WHO PLAN TO END ANIMAL CRUELTY. PROTEST PUPPY MILLS!
4: VOLUNTEER OR DONATE TO ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS ASPCA WHO'S MAIN GOAL IS TO HELP PREVENT ANIMAL CRUELTY.
5.VOLUNTEER AT YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER,TOO!
THEY NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET AND YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE DOING CATS IN YOUR COMMUNITY A FAVOR!

RECAP:
DO'S
-DONATE TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP END ANIMAL CRUELTY
-VOLUNTEER AT YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER
-GET YOUR CAT(S) SPAYED AND NEUTERED
-PROTEST AGAINST PUPPY MILLS!

DON'T
-BUY ANIMALS FROM BREEDERS
-SUPPORT POLITICIANS WHO DON'T WANT TO END ANIMAL CRUELTY AND DON'T SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT.

VOTE:
-FOR POLITICIANS YOU TRUST AND KNOW WILL DO THEIR BEST TO HELP END ANIMAL CRUELTY.
*********************************************************************
I hope the scoop on simple ways to end  animal cruelty gave you some helpful and practical insight.
I'm keeping my paws crossed that you'll be working on putting these ideas into action... and FAST! I know I am!

A Meow from Sherlcok

Greetings, fellow feline friends. It's Sherlock, the head honcho here at Weekly Mews.
I just had something to meow, and so I thought I'd give you the privilege of hearing what I have to say.
I am (in case you did not know this)writing a brand new 'mews' paper called The Daily Meower.
I'm really excited about it and can't wait to get it started. However, due to my online absence (I have been very busy these days and haven't had time to blog it--any of it!) which I find quite alarming, it will be published here monthly. So, there's a bit of a name change going on.
I do hope you will enjoy it, so look for The Monthly Meower soon.
Purrs
Your dearest ~Sherlock

Felines watch the Fireworks

The Cat Club House was busy already, planning an event that would take place today: the fireworks show!
Yes, I know what you're saying: "but the fourth of July isn't until tomorrow. and aren't cats supposed to be afraid of fireworks?"
First of all, these aren't just ordinary cats. These are extraordinary cats. Yeah, I am aware that cats are known for hiding under their beds and covering their ears with their paws when the fireworks show starts, by like I stated just a few seconds ago: these are extraordinary cats  and they love fireworks. I know that sounds funny, but it's true. And these kitties love fieworks works so much, that they were planning to go to a fireworks show early! A day early. And to be honest, these kitties were even more excited about seeing the fireworks show than they were about a year's supply of catnip.
"It so bright, and vibrant and beautiful!" Traveler mewed, "I can't wait to see the show!"
The Cat's Celebrate!  and Feline Fantastic groups were already getting started planning out the adventurous trip! They researched where the show would take place, read and re-read the safety guidelines and then got the Cat Club House group together to plan out the trip. "We want to make it an hour early, so we get good seats", Sasha was meowing. "We should probably paw out there right now" one of the members mewed,"since it's a little ways of a paw-walk."
"Did you research all the safety guidelines for cats?" Sherlock mewed, a little worried. "Of course!" they exclaimed, "what else do you think we're for?"
"Okay then," Sherlock mewed, "let's head out!"
"Wait, we need to finish baking our catnip flavored treats. They're almost done" Jellybean of Catnip Kitties meowed.
"Yum! Treats!" all the kitties purred.
As soon as the treats were finished, the kitties headed out.
They got to the Fireworks show early and picked out the best seats. They could get a clear view of the fireworks when it started. Getting comfy, the cats settle down into their seats and watched the magic happen!
It was amazing: the pitch black sky was suddenly bursting with vibrant colors: bright orange, yellow, blue, white and red and also some neon green. The kitties "awed" and "Oohed" at each and every firework, watching excitedly, eyes gleaming in joy. "This is wonderful!" the kitties purred, "absolutely amazing!" They pulled out their cameras and took snapshots to remember the beautiful night by.
It was a magical night that the kitties never forgot.
When the fireworks show ended, Jellybean meowed "time for treats!" and pulled out a tray full of brightly colored catnip  flavoured cookies! "Mm!" the cats meowed, "these taste delicious!"
The kitties gobbled down their treats and headed home, remembering the special night.
When they got back to the Cat Club House, Sherlock meowed, " Weekly Mews's  'mews'paper,The Daily Meower is going to write a review on the fireworks show!"
They all purred.
