Hey Kent- Just got my October Catnip Chronicles. It's a good one (well, they all are). I'm unemployed (laid off in April) but still try to give as much to animal charities. I give to the Alley Cat Allies and love the work that they do. It astounds me how many feral cats and unwanted cats there are. It just breaks my heart.

Anyway, I always love the cat pictures page. I'm sending a few in case you run short.(Which we always do...)

Bella (the black & white in the window). She'll be 16 in January and although she is fighting the ailments that come with old age- she's pretty spry.

Chloe - the long haired tortie. This pic was taken on her 10th birthday with her new presents (YES, I'm the crazy lady who gives her cats birthday parties- although only family is invited. lol)

Oliver (a previous star in your felizine) and his brother Tigger (aka Tiggy-roo). I got them both (and 3 other kittens) when a man killed their mother for having the audacity to have her babies on his patio. They were only 7 days old so I AM truly momma to these guys. Anyway, this pic was taken when they were about 5-6 months old. They are brothers and best friends- I love watching them together. I also included a second pic of Ollie & Tiggy here at 5 years old- they've gotten so big, they've outgrown their bed on the vanity- but they still try to get in there.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into the Chronicles. I love getting it each month.

Tripod Jack is a new addition to my family. He is playful and funny, and at night, he curls up next to me quite happily. Jack is a tuxedo cat with only 3 legs, because some idiot shot him, and his right front leg had to be removed. A kind lady found him and took him to the nearest vet. My friend, Joe, saw him there and told me about him. I promptly adopted him.
