May it never be forgotten. And “auld lang syne” and all that good stuff.
While we’re at it, let’s take a cup of kindness, too.

Not-so-tiny news: Tiny’s triumvirate
by
I once saw a sign proudly announcing the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
Whatever that’s all about, it’s odd, it’s proud to be odd, and that is ten million kinds of awesome. And, now, it seems that three of our cats have decided to start their own branch.

Meet the ex-Community Cats, #1 (of 1): Milo
by
He was already a living legend for his colossal paws, but now the mighty Milo has a new claim to fame infamy.
The big guy with the enormous attitude has been…well, ex-Communi(ty)cated.

The shy black cats of Suite C
by
It’s inevitable. At least once a week, during the course of a tour of Tabby’s Place, a wide-eyed visitor will ask me, “Do you really know all of the cats’ names?”
I understand their surprise - 100+ cats is a lot. But do you really know all of your friends and family members’ names? I’ll bet you can name more than 100 TV and movie stars. When you consider how much time I’m blessed to spend with these furry souls, and what individuals they are, it would be nothing short of a dishonor not to honor each of them by knowing their unique, personal names.
But some cats seem to have fun making this a bit tricky. If knowing most of the cats’ names is equivalent to passing a kindergarten spelling test, keeping all the shy black cats of Suite C straight is more like passing Ph.D.-level comprehensive exams in astrophysics.

It’s hard not to get excited…
by
…when a serious, loving, seriously-loving family comes to visit one of our quirkier, “less-adoptable” cats once, then twice, then a third time.
…or when one of the most terrified cats I’ve ever known purrs - purrs!! - in a human’s presence.
…or when even our never-one-to-whitewash-the-truth veterinarian concedes that the improbable, the too-wonderful-to-hope-for, the miraculous, may be the true.

Adopt a less-adoptable pet day
by
Hear ye, hear ye: Petfinder.com has dubbed today (August 12th) Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day.
If you ask us at Tabby’s Place, nobody’s unadoptable, and every day is adoption day. Nevertheless, I love that Petfinder is shining the spotlight on the underdogs (and, especially, undercats) today.
