An update on "Save a Gato"

Last July 9, 2010, I wrote a post about the organization Save a Gato, in Puerto Rico, that implement Trap/Neuter/Return cats that live on the streets of the Old San Juan. Well, they were participating in a competition in Facebook to win money in a charity. Well, guess what? They made to the top 200 and won $20,000.00! Wow, that's a lot of money! If you haven't visit their webpage here's the link, and their Facebook link.

Massage

Today my human sisters were visiting us. They are physical therapists and know how to give REALLY GOOD massages. I was telling them how stressed I've been lately, since the moving. There have been many stressful events in just less than two months: the moving, the lack of freedom and returning to be confined to a "fun-park" (jail, really), a construction at the house that changed Mom's mood for a while and her gone away vacation. Oh, I don't know how I still have my normal mind! The thing is that one of my human sisters touched me and noticed that I'm stressed, so she gave me a massage that kept me by her side for almost half an hour.

Ohhhhhh, it felt really goooooood.

I left really relaxed and happy. She prescribed at least three massages per week. I think that it's not enough and that Mom should hire a therapist to be with me at least three hours a day. Do you like massages?

Easy Sunday

Power and Beauty

People can learn a lot from nature. Many different things coexist in nature creating a balance of forces and beauty. Our earth is like a big body: everything and everyone needs everything and everyone else. Nothing is absolutely isolated.

Intense movement, gentle stillness.

The Other One took this beautiful pic at Niagara Falls. You can see that delicate flower and at the back is one of the falls; water falling with such power that amazes everyone. How can this little and fragile flower can live at the side of a fountain of such strong forces?

New York, New York

As you know, Mom was in New York last week. She was visiting some family and taking some pet-free time (I don't know what that means). Anyway, she took LOTS of pics and I want to share some with you.

First, she went to Buffalo to visit her brother. Did you know that there was an area in the airport for animals to do their "business"?

That's a great idea!

While she was there, she visited the Niagara Falls.

Great view!

And, did you know that the Rainbow Bridge is right there? Well, not the RB that Piccola crossed last month, but the one that you have to cross to get to Canada.

She remembered Piccola. Oh, tears!

Then, she took another airplane and got to another part of New York to visit her cousin; she stayed with Sunshine and his humans in Staten Island.

I'd like a window like that.

Sunshine lives in an apartment and
doesn't have a yard to hang out;
I'm sorry for Sunshine.

Mom also went to Brooklyn, where she was born.

She visited some museums like the Metropolitan Museum of art.
There, she saw an Egyptian statue that seems to be like a giant cat.

She also went to MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art.

And, of course, she went to the New York Public Library.

She took a boat and went to see the Statue of Liberty.

And went to the Museum of Immigration in Ellis Island.

Wow, that was a full schedule, don't you think?

Mom's back

Yep, Mom's finaly home. What a relief! Mom was hoping for a big reception. My sister Liah did that for all of us. I just walked by her when she got home. She called me and I just kept walking. She was furious- jo, jo. Anyway, I'm glad she's back, now I can sleep in her bed again.

That intruder, Prince is taking my space.

Sunshine

I have good news: I have a cousin in New York. I'm so excited! Mom is in New York, she's visiting her brother and her cousin. The cousin have a cat (Mom says he's beautiful), he's name is Sunshine.

My dad says I'm a lion.

He loves catnip and to play with his "flying" thingy.

Take care, Sunshine, I hope I can visit you sometime.

Ola kala!
