Dear Friends,
My only goal in life is to promote special needs cats.
My personality style is to be humble in my message.
Today I break that mold.
Today I am going to be all about bragging.
I am all puffed up with pride.
Not for me, but for my sister Courage.
Courage comes from a hoarding environment like I did.
Her neglect caused her to lose her eyes.
But Courage lives up to her name and just achieved something outstanding.
Let me read her award plaque.
It says:
Southeast Region 2017
Twenty-third Best Household Pet of the Year
RW TGM Courage
That means in the multi-state Southeast Region, out of the top 100 cats, Courage is number 23!
Quite an accomplishment for a little girl with a rough start and special needs.
The letters before her name?
Well, they mean Regional Winner (RW) Triple Grand Master (TGM.)
Impressive.
Wait!
(Oh, she did not…
…is she sticking her tongue out? Little snob.)
Anyway…
Courage can’t see her beautiful plaque or her big ribbon,
but she can hear me when I tell her how proud I am of her.
Her success shows what an animal can do with love and caring in spite of obstacles.
Courage says, “High five for special needs!”
And we all say, “Congratulations, RW TGM Courage!”
We’re very proud of you.
Thanks for letting me brag.
Love,
Bow-Tie

Dear Everyone,
I like to go outside for short walks in the sunshine.
I also don’t like to have to lift my paws way up in the air in order to walk.
We know it has to rain in order for things to grow.
So I’ll just look up and check the weather each day.
That’s the weather check according to me.
Hi Everybody,
Mixie was there when the envelope was opened.
Buddy was the first to jump on the pad.
She told him the envelope was addressed to her, and she should have the best seat.
In typical big brother fashion…
Remi had a solution.
By now you must wonder what happened with the envelope.
Because little blind Annie Sullivan thought the envelope WAS the gift!
Dear Friends,
My sister who lives in the studio went over the Rainbow Bridge.
Lucky for Buddy I have friends at Cat Depot who stepped up to help him heal.
She’s a bit of a character.
Buddy Van Gogh accepted her right away.
Cat Depot sent her home with some kitty food.
Thanks for making our home and hearts happy again, Rembrandt Red!
The moral of the story?
Hi Everybody!
How’s this?
The best game started by accident.
Okay… Game on!
Sometimes I played sneak attack.
I think it’s a good test of character if you like to spend time with yourself.
like me.
I was 7 1/2 years old when I came into Cat Depot, and considered a senior.
This is Aslan.
This is Grace.
This is Patty Cakes. Feel free to shorten that to Patty if you wish.
Here is Torrie the Detective.
And finally, here is Mattie.
Miss Marianne helped me with my adoption papers when I was 7 1/2 years old.
This is a holiday for fireworks, parades, and barbecues. 
You know what’s not my favorite part?
Enjoy your holiday, be safe, and keep your kitties safe.
Dear Everyone,
For instance, I have helped out in pet retail stores.
Local cleaners have asked me to help them.
On many occasions I have helped out at local radio shows.
Cat shows are good acts for me.
My ability to get funding for special needs cats is without compare.
And then there was that day at the brewery…
I hereby declare next year cats will be included!
Dear Friends,
Did you know that two cats and their children can produce two million kittens in eight years?
It makes me sad to think there are so many kittens and so few homes.
Many, many clinics offer low cost spaying and neutering.
So, celebrate fathers today…
Hello My Friends!
My radio is playing some of my favorite tunes…
Smart people know cats and music.
And remember:
