IN HONOR OF NATIONAL PET WEEK AND NATIONAL BE KIND TO ANIMALS WEEK...
Turns out May 5-11, 2024 has been both National Per Week and National Be Kind to animals Week.
Herewith some kitty pix from over the years at Le Chateau du Chat.
Sebastian, Molly and Corky - the last kittens I will know their whole lives.

Another Cary shot.
Jurate’s sweet boy Roscoe. She found him, 2 weeks old and abandoned by his mom, and fed him every 2 hours for six weeks.
Cookie, age 4. She’s coming up on #17, and I think this is her last year with me.
The kitties all love the paid subscribers, who take care of them too. Only $7/month or $70/year, saving $14.

You can tell a lot about individuals as well as societies by how they treat animals — and how their animals seem to feel about them. Since cats are such perspicacious judges of character, TC, that says rather a lot of nice things about you.
It's so sweet the way the kitties sprawl over each other. And the way the humans--you, and apparently many of your readers--have these close relationships with kittuz! I think it's good for humans to love animals, and to be loved by them in turn. I have Natalie, my border collie, who is my running partner, and who often comes into my bed somewhere in the middle of the night to cuddle, or sometimes not until the early morning. I am so fortunate to have her--a present from one of my best friends, who has a sheep farm in Maryland. She actually drove Natalie up to my house outside of Boston, from her farm, on her way to Buffalo NY (my house was way out of the way) because Natalie was unhappy on the sheep farm--she was the runt of the border collies, and wasn't getting enough personal attention (my friend is also an immunologist at NIH).
Anyway, life is much better with Natalie.
