This link is not exciting animal news but I thought it sweet and funny too. A wayward pig (near starvation) oinks orders at Starbucks Drive Thru window: http://cbs13.com/pets/wayward......11157.html

I know so many people that own cats, and some even own cats and dogs, too!

Dogs may win in that particular poll, but I have heard that statistics can be manipulated.

Well, I am not going to argue about dog or cat polls or dog and cat polls. I am too busy giving love to my two black, beautiful cats who love to be in my company.

I like the independent nature of cats because it shows they have their own mind and their own will. Just the way I am, but am not criticizing anyone else’s preference, honestly.

Up until last year (I believe), the tagline for Maine’s department of tourism was “Maine - the way life should be”. While there are certainly things about the great state of Maine that I wish were different (wide swaths of the state are a little conservative for my taste), I wouldn’t mind having a Downeast home someday.

Maine, not mine. I wish we had an edit function.

Petfinder helped me find Sophie, my good-natured, well-behaved black cat. It was so easy a site to deal with. Bravo to Betsy Saul

As to TNR, I believe it is best for the cats and best for the community not to kill the cats or put them in shelters.

Other cats will certainly fill in the empty land space. In shelters some will be killed if not adopted.

It is inhumane and costly to kill the cats, anyway. Go for the TNR, I say!
