Cat Video Fest 2025!

 CatVideoFest!

CatVideoFest 2025 was terrific!

10% of the ticket price for the showing I attended was donated to All About Animals Rescue, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic that is doing great work.

The audience howled with laughter, ooh'd and aah'd over silly kitten antics, and cheered for cats in tough circumstances who received help and love.

I wore my black cat ears!

A few images that I snapped during the film.

Featured was a cartoon by Simon's Cat, and footage from Cat Man Chris.

CatVideoFest is showing all over the place; check the website at the top of this post, go enjoy, and a local rescue group will get a donation.

Combat Cookies

From Combat Cookies website:

"We aim to boost morale of our deployed military members by shipping fresh baked cookies

Combat Cookies is a grass-roots, veteran owned and operated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. 

We bake and ship fresh from the oven cookies to U.S. military members who are deployed overseas with a mission to increase their morale. 

Being away from the comforts of home can be emotionally challenging. 

Sending cookies is one way to bring the feeling of home to a deployed military member."

Had the distinct pleasure of meeting Brandi and Brandon, the co-originators of Combat Cookies, while at a family gathering recently.

Such kind, loving people, and their military service is such a huge part of their lives.

Please consider a donation or a box of cookies to help Combat Cookies give a moment of joy to our deployed service folks.

Disclaimer:

I've posted about Combat Cookies for the benefit of the company and service people they help, having received no remuneration or consideration.  

They are a good bunch of people, and I'd like to spread their mission to all. 

🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Thank you, to all our veterans.

Meet CASHnip Kitty!

Meet Sir Whines a Lot, a rescue cat is now dubbed "CASHnip Kitty" due to his unique talent. 

Sir Whines is the office cat at GuRuStu, a marketing firm in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

He enjoys people-watching through the front window on 3rd Street in the East Village.

The business owners adopted him from the Tulsa Animal Welfare Shelter in 2015. 

Everything was normal until they began finding cash near the front door. 

It was strange, and no one could figure out why the money was there, that is until they tested a theory. 

They discovered the cat would snatch a dollar if it came through the door slot. 

Apparently late night partiers played with him, and lost their cash through the slot. 

So they decided to use his talent for a good cause, and now donate the money to charity.

You go, Sir Whines A Lot; you make the cat-loving community very proud!

A portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold is donated to a local cat shelter, so attend to laugh and help out cats too!

In with Old, Out with New, etc...

My very old rug-hooking project returned from my sister's house,
much to Angel's delight!
OLD back IN!

Three boxes of new-to-me, but now old
(because they don't fit!) clothes,
donated to the local women's shelter
NEW/OLD back OUT!

Milkweed pods from our garden.
Cannot wait for the more Monarch butterflies next year!
NEW is NEW!

Seasons change, and what was old is new, what was new is old.  This was the first year that our milkweed plants grow seed pods, and I will scatter the seeds so Eastside Cats has a healthy crop next year.  I have also shared some pods with Rene at It's All About The Cats!

And for you readers who want to see photos of The PO'M...here ya go!  An oldie but a goodie.
