FREE GROOMING AT HANSEN'S PET CLINIC

Come and enjoy any or all of the following: Conditioning bath, full body brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, and flea treatment. This event will take place Thursday, May 23, from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Thank you, Hansen's, for giving back to the community in such a generous way!

PAW READER BRINGS INTERESTING INSIGHT

There were some startling revelations during a visit from the Paw Reader, Miss Teak, last month. During Cinder's paw reading session, Miss Teak informed her that this was her first life. This didn't really come as a surprise to anyone, except maybe Cinder! Carmy learned that unlike her current life of luxury, in a previous life she was a stray and roamed the streets in search of food. This would certainly explain the great compassion she has for the less fortunate felines in our community that she helps out daily. And Darla was ecstatic with hope when Miss Teak told her she would soon find her forever home. We are hoping that Miss Teak will come and visit us again soon. So if you missed out on the opportunity to find out about where you have been and where you are going, perhaps you will get a chance during her next visit. Update: Darla was recently adopted by a very nice couple new to our community. Miss Teak was right, Darla has found her forever home!

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!

A large number of humans in our community have been complaining about being disturbed during all hours of the day and night by the noise of felines mating. Please be considerate of their feelings while expressing yours. Don't forget, many of these humans keep us fed. And please, if you haven't been "fixed" use some good cat sense! A little reckless mating can lead to overpopulation, which can result in undesirable consequences. Have a heart, but be smart!

DOG SHOW UPDATE

The Dog Show held in Oakwood Park Saturday, April 20, was a great success - for the cats!!! Job well done fellow felines. We stirred up so much excitement that the dogs were barking, fur was flying, and people were running in all directions. You may recall, the same mayhem took place last year at the Dog Show. Maybe this time they will seriously think about finding an alternate location for the show next year! Keep up the good work at reaching our goal - keeping the bark out of our park!

LET THE BIRDS SING THIS SPRING

It has been requested that a ban on bird catching be put in place during spring. It seems that there are many residents in our community, mostly human, who actually enjoy the annoying singing of birds in the springtime. As a courtesy to those apparently suffering from some hearing disorder, we will let the birds sing until further notice. In case anyone is wondering, mice are still fair game.

Applications are now being accepted for Camp Purrfection. Space is limited, so don't wait too long to sign up or you might miss out on a whole lot of fun! Check out "Special Events" for more information.
