Blog The Change For Animals - July 15

Well, I just found out about this TODAY, thanks to the wonderful Patty of the  Art & Sew Forth blog mentioning this cat blog. Thank you.


You know, I just try to help the poor feral cats and give some a chance to be pets. That's why I originally called this blog Feral Kitten Rescue. But homes are so hard to come by. Many tamed kittens end up staying in the feral colony because nobody adopts them. And then we always end up losing some to coyote predation.

The ones that survive at least have two meals a day and warm places to sleep at night, but they're still not in loving homes. We need to see more adoptions.

Since this is a day to recognize people who help animals, I want to recognize possibly the world's greatest cat trapper and rescuer: Jodi of the Cat Eyes photo blog. Be sure to visit her blog. I've never met her but I know she's busy running around all over the place trapping and rescuing kitties - and gets no credit for it. So I just want to say, thank you.

Visit: Cat Eyes

New Blog Design

Well, I've been working on this in the background, intending to introduce it New Years day, 2011... but a couple of people have told me recently that they had problems using the comment system here. I'm not sure why, but my old design had an issue that I might have corrected with the new one.  The only other thing it could be is the fact that blogger has recently switched how comments are processed. I think they now go through googleusercontent.com, so perhaps the offsite comment processing causes problems with some browsers... like, if you are using Firefox with NoScript and you haven't allowed the google site.  Unfortunately, I don't have any control over how blogger processes comments.

Generally speaking, I allow all comments including blogger members (of course) plus those with an OpenID account and/or just a google account --even just Name and URL, which can be anything. Sometimes I have anonymous commenting turned on too. It comes and goes: I will allow it for a while and when I start getting cat-haters posting I turn it off again. Right now, it's on so you can comment anonymously. If you are having a problem you might want to make sure that you are selecting the correct kind of comment posting (Google/OpenID/Name-URL/Anonymous) and that you don't have scripts from this site or googleusercontent.com blocked.

Let me know what you think of the new design, anyway. :)
