Hugs in Noir

It's Caturday!

Manny and Chili Bruce are so adorable when snuggled together.

I used iPhoto to make the image black and white, then used Lunapic's Scribble filter.

YAY!

It's Caturday!

First off, let's give a WOO WOO to the State of California, and I'm paraphrasing here:

"...tendonectomy, onychectomy, or any type of claw removal on a feline within the practice of veterinary medicine...is ILLEGAL..."

Here's the bill: Bill AB-867

US States

New York

Maryland

Virginia

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

California

Washington D.C.

US Cities

Colorado: Denver

Missouri: St. Louis

Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh and Allentown

Texas: Austin

Wisconsin: Madison

Countries with Declawing Bans 

United Kingdom: Declawing is illegal in the UK

France: The practice is prohibited

Germany: Declawing is illegal

Switzerland: The procedure is banned

Australia: Declawing is banned in Australia

New Zealand: Declawing is prohibited

Japan: Declawing is banned

Israel: The procedure is illegal

Brazil: Declawing is banned

Canada: Declawing is outlawed in nearly all of its provinces

Banned: refers to being not allowed, whereas illegal refers to being against the law. 

An illegal act is inherently banned by the law, but a banned action is not necessarily illegal. 

~~~

C'mon people; this should be illegal EVERYWHERE, so don't let up on your politicians to get them to step up, since the veterinary profession cannot.

Where to go for more information:

City the Kitty: https://citythekitty.org/

Manny shows his appreciation for folks who leave paws alone.

Artified with Prisma, then iPhoto filters.

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.

In honor of June is Audiobook Month,

I recommend:

Annie Jacobsen's, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base (2011)

The American journalist offers her information about the secret United States military base known as Area 51.

Narrated by the author.

Compelling research that blows the "1947 Roswell Incident" story out of the water.

Zeroed in on a cute pic of Henry, then played around with iPhoto filters until this sort of pencil sketch emerged.

Today is The Hubby's birthday, and all we have planned is to make sure all of the Eastside Cats give him the attention that he deserves.

The Sparkenator

Sadly, we lost a beloved family member on Thursday.

Sparky lived for over 17 years, and was happy to have his human brothers and sister with him over the recent holidays.

My sister and BIL are heartbroken.

😿 Farewell, Angel Sparkenator 💔

For Caturday, I artified Sparky in Lunapic with the Space filter, then added a vignette.

Decade

Due to upcoming events, we'll be posting our usual posts out of order this week.

It's PO'Monday...on Sunday.

April, 2014; can you believe it was a decade ago?!?

Celestial Paddy O'Malley was a terrific subject for photos.

His coloring was easy for the iPhone camera settings to capture without too much fuss.

❤️❤️❤️

U-Shaped
