What affects us affects cats
A typed letter is being sent to residents who are cat owners living in the Brisbane area, specifically Deception Bay, in southeast Queensland, Australia. The letter is just about self-explanatory and is published below. The writer of the letter says he lives in the same area. The style of writing indicates a male. I …
In an imaginative idea to increase adoptions at an animal shelter in Illinois they decided to take some of their cats to a local yoga class (Yoga at Connie’s). I have to say that yoga and cats go together quite nicely so the idea has some merit right from the beginning. They were all …

This is an interesting story of a lovely connection between a lady, Sama (24), from Sudan and her cat who decided to take that precarious, month-long journey from Africa all the way through to Italy via the Mediterranean on a rickety boat.
