Important

We help find homes for cats and kittens who need them. These are usually stray, lost or abandoned cats. They come in all sizes, shapes and colours. That does not make us a sort of cat supermarket, able to produce a feline that matches your decor, taste or lack thereof.
We get way too many people asking us for cats of a particular colour and shape - usually 'white with a bushy tail'. If you have a particular preference, you know what, go look for a cat yourself. If you're genuinely interested in changing an unfortunate cat's life, you won't care what colour it's going to be. Otherwise, please, don't waste our time.

dudes and cats...

nyt picked a story about 'men coming out of the closet'...but they are single, heterosexual men who profess their love for felines unabashedly..

story here

but not everyone agrees that it sounds 'right'

[..]The image of the crazy spinster cat lady persists, and plenty of people do wonder about a guy with a cat. As a writer on adventuresofacitygirl.blogspot.com put it: “Single men and cats are like a burger and broccoli. Separately they are okay, but together it just seems off.”[..]


slate
subsequently published another piece about this being a 'bogus trend' (obviously we are NOT in a war..NOT in the middle of an acrimonious election...and especially NOT experiencing a melting wall street...you'd think its a slow news week or something..anyways)

I apologize for the delay in responding to your question about how to pick up the awards. I have been overwhelmned with work, travel that I did not manage to do it.

jYou don't need the code - just save the images to your computer.

If you are on a Mac, then control-click will do it. If you are on windows, I don't know. Click on the image and play around with your keyboard - you will find the answer.

Done! And thanks.

Jellicles - these articles just go to show that journalists are not students of human nature or history, and it's best they don't even pretend they are. Cats and men a trend? Not a trend? Some sassy blogger says men and cats don't go together? Jumpin' Jesus Jones, people, humans and cats have been living together for centuries, and at least half those humans all the while have been men.
