Cat Tales for April 2008

Greetings all, welcome to the April edition of Cat Tales. They say April showers bring May flowers, but in the world of animals April brings on the third week Animal Cruelty/Human Violence Awareness Week.

It's an established fact the people who abuse animals eventual move up to abusing humans. Every serial killer started out on animals. Here are some web sites where you can find out more about animal abuse and how to help with the problem.

We our doing our best to keep the Cat Community a live and kicking on AOL. We need your help to do this. We need more people to become cat chat hosts for us. We have recently lost more of our hosts and that is making it diffcult to continue to hold scheduled cat chats on a regular basis. So if your interested please send me an email.

We also are looking to you to send us interesting pieces, poetry, questions and web sites you'd like share about cats for the newsletter. Just send them to me and I'll make sure they get into the newsletter.

Oh yes, I wanted to tell you all that Catster has a way to build your very own free cat avatars. You can even make them talk! Free from your friends at Catster.

CAT QUOTE

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain
