October 31, 2008 was our humans' wedding anniversary.  Aside from some books and stuff, Mommy's favorite gift was pretty obvious.  In her honor, we decided to sponsor Olivia, a blind cat who lives at the Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary in North Carolina.  This is a rescue group (and non-profit organization) which gives love, life, and a home to blind cats.  Some of the cats were blinded by disease, or born that way.  But when you see the videos you are amazed at how well they get along.  If you'd like more information on the blind cats, you can visit www.blindcatrescue.com.  Meanwhile, here is one of their videos, showing two of their blind kittens playing:



Awesome!  Remember, and contributions to the group are tax deductible.  If you want to see Olivia, the one we are sponsoring, her page is:

We added some great new designs to our Cafepress tore, promoting pet adopting, rescue, and spay/neuter programs.  Yu can check them out at:

Here's a sample:

        

Here is poor Sanka at the vet...she had to go to get her shots, but as you can see she just wants to go home!!!

        

...it's cute and all...but not handsome like me!

        

        

I'm happy to tell you that I've set up my own little section on Amazon where you can see some of my favorite toys, books, and DVD's.  You know how helpful I am, so this is another way for me to HELP you: giving you hints about gifts to buy for the cat lovers (and cats) in your life!

If you want to see the store, just come visit my website at http://www.helpfulkitty.com/ and follow the link.

Oh, and I've got a new advice column on my web site too.  Don't forget to check that out, and to send me any quesions you have.  I love to be HELPFUL by answering them!

Meanwhile, here's a photo of me and Sanka caught in the act of one of our little love sessions.  I hate to admit it, being a tough-guy kitty, but I love Sanka VERY much.  She has made my world a lot happier!

...is when Judd Nelson says: "It's wrong to destroy literature.  It's such FUN to read."

        

...thinks EVERYTHING is exciting.  Sometimes I wish she'd just settle down for a bit and take a nap with me. 



Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go design some new merchandise for http://www.cafepress.com/helpfulkitty and then man my post at the window, protecting the household from bird intruders.  If I don't stand on that wall, who will...you?  You want me on that wall, you NEED me on that wall.

        

You know what's funny?  After Sanka and I watch birds out the window for a while, I always get hungry for chicken.  I can't explain why....



Don't forget to check http://www.cafepress.com/helpfulkitty for a few new designs.  I get VERY happy when people buy my stuff!

        

How much more Sanka looks and acts like me every day....my humans can barely tell us apart in this photo...even I'm not sure!
