We Are Afraid!!!

Well me suwe hopes you all had a gweat weekend. After this short update da west of meez posty will be hooman speak as we awe gunna do one of those impurrtant educational postys. We had a vewy fwuitful (as mommy calls it) weekend. Mommy got a lot mowe unpacked but still has a way to go. Da movers put stuff fwum all ovew da house in evewy box so mommy spends a lot of time walkin’ back and forff dat kuld be spent unpackin’. So hers still not fwu, but hopes to be by da time da fwidge gets here on Wednesday. Now dat wuz a little update ‘bout what be goin’ on and now meez gunna move on to meez post topic.

It is October, which of course you all know, and that means halloween. As you all know black cats have a bad reputaion. Even more so than perhaps the pit bull. Black cats have been called evil, bad luck and witches familiars among others. And even in this day and time there are still people who believe this nonsense. Black cats are the least adoptable cat in shelters. there are rescues who refuse to take them in because they know the likelihood of a quick adoption is very low. Although a black cat with any other color at all doesn’t have the same stigma. For instance the tuxedo pattern. A black cat with white markings. So why then is an all black cat thought to be so bad? The reality is that most black cats are extremely intelligent and loving. They make great pets. We are featurin’ a few here today that are up for adoption to real and lovin’ forever homes.

But it does get worse. Crimes are committed against black cats more often at this time of year. Torture and death are not uncommon. And all because black cats are thought to be mysterious and throwaways. But black cats aren’t the only ones. White cats are sought this time of year as they are seen as symbols of purity in animal sacrifices. Lots of shelters have implemented policies that ban adoptions of black and solid white cats during the halloween season. Thus making these abusers have to look elsewhere for their victims. And so they start combing neighborhoods for pets that are aloud outdoors or strays that have no home. Are you angry yet? Because we are.

Mommy says that when she looks at us she can’t imagine anyone wanting to hurt us or our kin. But those people do exist. Let me tell you, we feel, we have senses, we love and trust. And when we are abused we know it, WE FEEL IT, and WE ARE AFRAID!!! We don’t want to be hurt and we for sure don’t want to die a horrible death alone without love. PLEASE, any of you that allow your cats outside, PLEASE keep them inside. Especially during this time of year. As these people will take any cat or animal for that matter, not just black or white cats. If you have strays in your area please do what you can to help them. Maybe they could stay in your garage for the week surrounding halloween, or even call the local rescues or shelter. As bad as it sounds, a humane death is preferable to the torture we would face at the hands of these abusers.

We don’t like to write da sad posts and bad news posts, but sumtimes there’s just no escapin’ it. Sumtimes da news is bad or even sad. We know a lot of you love this time of year as we awe seein’ on yous blogs, but wemember to purrtect yous furbabies. Mommy sez abuse and animal cwuelty happens all da time, but is faw mowe purrevalent duwin’ this time of year. And da laws in da U.S. awe so minimal fur animal abuse and cwuelty dat it’s almost like there is no law. But you can all help. We need to continue to educate da public ‘bout da wunnewfulness of black cats. And dat they not be bad luck or evil or any udder bad fing. Underneaff all dat black fur awe veins dat bleed red and a heart dat beats da same as any udder. And a motow box dat just wants sumpawdy to purr fur and luv and call their vewy own.

There awe lots of illnesses dat can be managed wiff medications now so kitties don’t hav to be killed anymowe. And sum kitties be like sis Lexi and be a bit older and nopawdy wants them. Mommy sez weez just get better and better evewy year. So just imagine what yous be passin’ up when yous see dat kitty dat be a little long in da toof. They hav experiences dat a yungun’ like me not hav. They’re also a little less likely to keep yous up at night cwyin’. And do yous hoomans kill evewypawdy dat can’t see? Or how bout all da peeps dat be missin’ a leg or a awm, yous gunna kill them? Well then why is it okay to kill da kitties dat not be 100%? Weez can adjust just like yous hoomans can and liv a nowmal happy life ifin given da chance.

Now me knows dat most of yous dat wead meez bloggy be those long time kitty luvers and so yous know what weez talkin’ ‘bout, but sumpawdy might stop by today dat dusn’t fink weez all purrfect and we hope weez can change their mind. Big kitty, little kitty, fat kitty, skinny kitty, blind kitty, bald kitty, 3 legged kitty, sick kitty, it dusn’t matter, weez all purrfect. Weez all hav luv to giv and shawe. And ifin yous just take a chance, weez know yous won’t be sowwy. Evewy time weez wead a bloggy dat has an adioptable kitty showcased, weez shawe. And ifin weez all cwoss shawed each udders postys wiff adoptable kitties just magine how many peeps weez kuld weach. Mommy can’t hav mowe kitties wight now, and cuz of evewyfin’ dat’s been goin’ on in ow house hers can’t do much in da way of volunteerin’ eevew. But weez can shawe and purray, and weez do.

 D-L card

Weez just hope to weach dat 1 purrsun today and turn ‘em on to da underbelly of da shelters and wescue gwoops. And let them know dat “less adoptable kitties” awe just as purrfect as da west of us. Aaaaw Come on, yous know da one eyed kitty be cute, come on now just say it wiff me. Da one eyed kitty is amazin’, I’ll take it.” And yous know as well as weez do dat kitties missin’ a leg or awm awe just as adowable. They roll wound and hav a gweat time same as those of us wiff two legs and 2 awms. And yous all seen videos of sis Lexi playin’ so yous know dat age didn’t slow hers down much. So come on, let’s spwead da word and get sum of those looked ovew kitties a home this week. Fank yous in advance fur shawin’ evewy adoptable kitty yous wead ‘bout. Me finks dat ifin weez band tugedder weez can all make a diffewence.

Merlin’s Hope Munday

Dezi: Welkum to Merlin’s Hope Munday evewypawdy. Yous awe just not gunna believ hoo weez hav waitin’ to meet yous today. Yep, it’s anudder handsum Texas mancat. And ifin yous don’t just fall in luv, yous not hav eyes in yous head. Smile 

Lexi: Good greeb Dezi youz shur arr werdee. Why don’t weez juzt interduz himz and let himz habz a say. 

Dezi: Well sissy it be meez blog yous know. And ifin… 

Lexi: Yeah, yeah, whatebber. Awlrite eberpawdee gibz a warm welkum too Samson. Take it away handsum. 

Samson: Thank ya’ ladies ya’ll just might be sweet enough to make this mancat rethink wanting fursibs. Well let’s see, I’m a 2 year old red-mitted Maine Coon. I really am a lover boy, I’m just a little shy and am not always sure I want’cha touching all over me. I might not sit in your lap, but I sure do wanna be close by. As I already stated, these girls sure are sweet, but I do purrfur to be the only furry in the house. You know they seem alright and then suddenly I’m not so sure I like ‘em after all. So better for all that I be your only fur love.

monkey1best

Speaking of skeery, I find the little humans downright terrifying with all their hands and touching and grabbing and all. But ifin you are familiar at all with my breed then you know I’m still a yung’un too. So maybe in the right home I would love touchin’ and lovin’ and playin’ with the furries and kiddos. After all my foster somtimes calls me Monkey. Cause I play and romp and love to play chase. Just don’t get me all wound up and then go and try to catch and pet me. What self respectin’ mancat wouldn’t have a bit of a conniption I ask ya’? Ya’ know I’m suppose to be faster and stealthier than you humans.

samson

Anyway, my rescuers have discouted my adoption fee, so I sure do hope you’ll come by and give me a look and take me home. I’m missin’ my family jewels,(shakes and drops head a bit) but I’m told that makes me a better mancat, and I’ve had my testin’ and been jabbed with needles to get my vaccinations and make sure I’m good and healthy. (looks up at Dezi and Lxi with a ter in his eye)I sure would like a place of my own with somebody to love who’ll love me back. These girls here promised me that somewhere out there somebody is looking for me they just might not know it yet. I’m in Ennis Texas, and you’d of course have to come and get me cause I can’t drive. But you can check me out some more and find my adoption application here. And you can reach Merlin’s Hope at: MeLinda Hughes melindahug65@wildblue.net; Thank ya’ girls for helpin’ me out today, I sure hope my forever home reads this.
