What IS that thing??

What has no legs, no arms, a long thin fluffy body, and follows a ball wherever it goes?
You don't know?
Well I don't know either, I was hoping you could tell me!

This week a generous man came to Chatopia and donated some luxury kitty items. I was most delighted with the cat tree and made quick and efficient use of the lavender scratching post, which you have to admit, really compliments my glorious peach fur and dreamy blue eyes ---->




BUT... he also unwittingly brought with him a strange and hideous creature, setting it loose in the front room of Chatopia!
Several of us investigated the thing as it wiggled and rolled it's way around the floor.

Lychee thought it was a snake, but Tammy pointed out that they aren't fluffy.
Kyana thought it might be a raccoon (she's such a moron).
Tammy postulated that it was possibly new to science, but I suggest that it is, in fact, simply some malformed creature of uncertain origin.

 One thing was certain - it had to be put out of it's misery.

Tammy's Appeal - open your hearts

It's me again, Tiny Tammy. I've been feeling a little blue this week. But you could probably help me feel better...







Did you hear about the dog they rescued in Japan? I can't say I like dogs much, but the story raised the hairs on my neck for a different reason.

Think of all the cats and dogs, hamsters, birds and other pets who also lost their lives in the disaster. It makes me sad to think about it, but stories like the one about the rescued dog lift my tiny kitten heart back up again. They give me hope.

Did you know there are people - people like the ones who care for us at Chatopia - who have made it their mission to rescue the pets who survive tragedies like this? These companion animals have lost their families, the people who love them. I'm amazed at the unending compassion of volunteers and animal rescue workers who search for and retirieve them from the rubble, give them warmth, food, love, and eventually: new homes.

What is even more wonderful that rescuing that dog from the sea? They were able to reunite him with his family!

I heard about a few places where humans can give their support to the workers who are rescuing animals from the Japan tragedy:
The Humane Society  works tirelessly, as do World Vets.
There is uplifting news of rescue and rehoming from the Japan Cat Network

Next time you are going to hand over those funny little metal circles in exchange for a coffee (I've smelt that stuff and it's icky anyways) why not give those coin things to a charity instead, and help our fellow kitties.

I don't even mind if you help the dogs - just help!

Operation: Overt Odyssey Kitty

I havn't blogged for a while - I've been far, far too busy for such things. However, I understand that my worshippers may not know how to continue through their lives without the attention of their wonderous Queen Lucy, and so I shall blog once more.

In the past two weeks I have carried out Operation: Overt Odyssey Kitty. In order to prevent Kyana La Banana from re-establishing her regime in Chatopia, I've been bombing back and forth through the corridors of my Queendom, showing the other kitties - and volunteers - who is boss.

A second cat tree was erected just outside the Studio. I've been sure to make my presence felt there. I've also been following the volunteers back and forth while they work, reminding them at all times who is the softest and most beautiful cat here (me).

It's a resounding success!
Kyana and I have the odd skirmish, but I have banished her to a cottage on the outskirts of my glorious Queendom ---->

Chatopia is mine again, and my people are happy. Right now i'm reclining on the main office chair in front of the computer listening to Mozart's Le Nozze De Figaro K492 Overture (what a masterpiece) on the radio.

All is well in my Queendom - Long Live the Queen!
