LOL CATZ and Average Cats

Here are a couple of amusing websites/blogs. The LOL CATs is a fad that has really taken off where people add their own captions to photos of cats. This has been done with dogs and humans and every other photo imaginable. In case you don't know, lol stands for "lots of laughs" in "texting language"

Here is an example from http://www.thelolcats.com/

Another site is http://icanhascheezburger.com/ and this site allows you to write your own captions.

In a kind of opposition to this caption writing is http://averagecats.com/ which changes these captions to what the cat may be doing really and explains that cats can't really do the things which are claimed in the captions. I thought this was a simple but witty idea - stating the obvious, but pretty funny.

I hope you enjoy

Fostering kittens

Here are some young foster kittens. They are playing outside.

repost: Bring Delilah Home!

I am posting this again since they have another month to reach their goal. This is from the blog, Project: Bring Delilah Home





Hello everyone, As many of you know, my brother-in-law is serving his second tour overseas and we are trying to help him raise money for a very special and personal project.

While Matt and his unit were walking through Jagori, (a small village in the mountains) Afghanistan he noticed a small white puppy on the side of the road. The puppy promptly fell into line and has been with Matt and his unit ever since. Everyone has been working with Delilah (on her basic puppy manners) and she's doing really well. My brother loves her and just can't imagine leaving her behind.

To say that animals have a hard life overseas is unfortunately a huge understatement. We have started researching all the red tape involved in this process and now we are grateful to say we have received direction and help from the Tigger House (in Kabul , Afghanistan ).

The Tigger House is a shelter and rescue for cats and dogs in Afghanistan . They provide veterinary care for animals and provide a safe place for them for to be adopted.The Tigger House has also been helping transport animals out of Afghanistan for a number of years with great success and they have responded to our request for help with Delilah.

The process for bringing Delilah home with Matt is expensive. We estimate the basic cost to be approximately $3,500.00. This will cover her mandatory shots, customs paperwork, crate and shipping supplies and a plane ticket to the New York (The ticket to Austin , TX will be anadditional cost). We know money is tight for everyone, but if you are able to chip in a little we would be sincerely grateful. Any additional or unused funds will be given to the Tigger House as a small you for all that they do. So in short, Matt is a good person who is trying to do a good thing and provide a (much) better life for this puppy; he just needs a little support. Please chip in what you can.

With many, many thanks, Laura O. Fleming (Please continue to pray for the safety and well being our troops and their families-worldwide.)
