Introducing Lady Mischief:

Lee and I adopted this little bundle of fluff from PETS Inc. on May 8, and she's been the center of attention ever since. Princess Fluffybutt, not really taking to the newcomer, is getting extra attention. Rascal, The Night Stalker, thinks she's a toy. Cats...

The color variations in the above pics may be due to my very limited skills and flukey camera. Lady Mischief is a light cream color with brown Siamese-like markings. Very pretty little thing about 11 weeks old now. No doubt, you'll be hearing more about her!

Please help our shelter! That would be PETS Inc. Here's how to help them win a badly-needed cash prize in The Animal Rescue Site Shelter Contest:

Please go to http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/shelterchallenge.faces and enter PETS Inc as the shelter and SC as the state. On the second screen, you have to confirm your vote. You can vote every day through July 26 - Please vote as often as you can!   Thank You very much!

From a very generous subscriber: I have fresh home grown, organic catnip, free with a postage paid envelope. First come, first served to anyone who would like some and does not have the time, place, or ability to grow their own. Just send a postage paid envelope to:

Another Catnip Chronicles-inspired book project!
I am collecting stories for an anthology tentatively entitled All Things Furry and Purring: The Cats Who Changed Our Lives and am encouraging everyone and anyone to contribute short stories, musings, reflections, poems, in short, writings which fit into the category described here.
Your story submission grants me permission to publish it without compensation to you. I do not expect any profits from this venture but if there are any, they will be donated to the ASPCA.

ASPCA Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month  (From the ASPCA newsletter:)
At the ASPCA, it’s all shelter cats, all the time. But the month of June is extra special—it’s Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month! Read on for cat care tips, this year's photo contest theme and profiles of some of our favorite shelter cats—then make your way to your local shelter and meet the feline of your dreams! http://www.aspca.org/adoption/adopt-a-shelter-cat-month/
Notice: If you win the photo contest, you lose the rights to that photo. That's the norm for this kind of contest, we just wanted you to know. (Thanks, Maryellen!)

We hope you thoroughly enjoy our felizine, that you will send us your cat photos, that you invite others to subscribe, and that you have a marvelous month filled with good health, love, laughter, and CATS!

Pax Felinus,
