Manfred

It's Twozday, and we'll focus on Manny.

Manny is on his back legs, chasing something.

Manny's nicknames:

The Man
Brows (we say this one quietly)
Mans
Manfred

Things you may not know about Manny:

-The Hubby likes to carry Manny like a baby.

-Manny often usurps The Hubby's kitchen chair.

-Manny rarely eats a meal in one go; he'll walk away from a 2/3rds eaten bowl, which we remove so Chili Bruce doesn't play clean-up.  After a while, Mans begs for the rest, and we make sure he can eat in peace without CB trying to get at it.

-Manny will chew on anything green, and he especially loves fresh basil nabbed from the plant.

-In summer, a favorite napping location for Manny is on a box tucked into the corner of the bathroom.

-If I have a fleece blanket on my lap, Manny would make biscuits or knead from dawn 'til dusk, but I shoo him away after 10 or 15 minutes.

Fade to Black





In addition, we begin Cat Nights!

Truly, this time of year is when we all realize that summer won't last forever, so get out there and enjoy, before the harvests are done, and we begin to buckle down to face the next, harsher seasons.

Homeless to Loved

The third Sunday in August is International Homeless Animals' Day.



"This worldwide effort is aimed at halting the euthanasia and suffering of unwanted companion animals."

❤️

A few thoughts, and I know that I'm talking to like-minded folks:

 -If you feed them, fix them.

-If you adopt, be aware that you are making a multi-year commitment, which includes food, shelter, and veterinary services.

-There is no pressure on anyone to have pets; if your lifestyle doesn't support the care that a pet needs, then visit a cat cafe' or rescue once in awhile.

-Roll up your sleeves and volunteer.

-Donate!

-We cannot adopt our way out of the overpopulation.

-Puppy and kitten mills must be eliminated.

We sadly bid farewell to Seal from Brian's Home Blog.

Those gorgeous eyes, and her lovely fur colors will live furever in my heart.

Poor Simon, as Seal was his sisfur.

Hugs and purrs.
