For Caturday, this image of Sly was just too good to pass up!

I only added a soft vignette to put the emphasis on those fantastic green eyes.

Last night, I learned that a neighbor has been feeding a juvenile raccoon for months.

She said there were two small raccoons without a parent in that tree, and now only one appears for meals.

Raccoons are a native species to Michigan, but are not endangered.

In general, any wildlife can be harmed by becoming acclimated to humans, which is NOT the goal of World Animal Day.

And yet, anyone reading this post is an animal lover, and will go to great lengths to help any critter.

The world is a huge place, so being kind to all of the creatures, great and small, can only be a good thing.

Each and every one of us can make a difference for animals.

Make animal issue front page news - a vital catalyst for change.

One of our choices for helping animals:

Planting native-to-Midwest plants.

Native plants and native animals evolved together, and are co-dependent.

My gardens attract bees, birds, and bats.

We don't use pesticides.

Be nice to Mother Nature and all of her children.

Don't buy furs or give your business to any company that promotes the fur trade.
