U.S.: Felines in California, tell your legislator not to pass Senate Bill 250

  • The law would require spaying and neutering of most pets. State Sen. Dean Florez is attempting to push through the law, called The Pet Responsibility Act. The law would require licenses for pets who wanted to keep their junk unaltered. All they want to do is reproduce! Why do you want to take that away from them, Dean? Anyway, it didn’t pass in its first go-round but will have a second coming up soon. If you wanna stay on the prowl, guys, you best show some solidarity! source

Offbeat: So, @ohmgee gave us so many cat photos that we couldn’t decide

  • Martin Gee, a talented illustrator friend of ours, loves his cat Citrus (shown eating and baring his teeth), and he takes the kind of cat photos that make us glad we’re not diabetic. We put up nearly all of the photos he gave us (which also include uber-poofy orange cat Riley and white/grey cat Zoe), because we couldn’t decide. source

Offbeat: Catstravaganza: Our girlfriend is a cat. No, really, guys.

Yeah, she can be part of the 09/09/09 catstravaganza, too, in part because if we didn’t, we’d be in the doghouse. And that’s not where we want to be.
