Cute Kittens!

Here are a few ADORABLE kitten photos for you all to enjoy!



Hope you like them!

(Who couldn't?)



Now

Hm.
Now.
Now is a time called "present" or even "today." Now is a time where every little thing you do (like decide whether to go to your circus class or not) will change your life. Not exactly, actually. It changes your experience, what you will remember in the days to come. If you didn't go to class, then you wouldn't remember the nice teacher. Or the game "Assasin" which was quite fun, I must admit, though it was hard to understand. I never would have found out how fun it was to juggle a single club from hand to hand (though I could only do it with the right hand. Poo.)
Now is a time to decide.
Now is the night.
Now is the day.
Now passes like the clouds on a summers' day.
And Now, do you realise, Now is the morning.
And Now I will cuddle my cat.

Tribe Cats

I have made a forum! My friend helped me, and I think it's coming along quite well. It's called Tribe Cats.
Here's the link! http://www.wildfelinetribes.proboards.com/index.cgi
My forum is about cats who live in the wild. Some live in the city, some in the mountains, some in rivers, and some in the forest. I'm still working on it, but there are already quite a few stories going! I'd be very glad if you joined! :)

Pets, pets, and more pets!!!



I think it's time to tell you about all of our pets. We've got: one...two....three.....four.........Okay, we've got six pets. One loving golden retreiver called Oscar, not so golden any more, (because he's getting old,) two cats, one big, one small, one chicken, (because nearly all of them died - I know, VERY sad.)

I used to have two zebra finches, but after a while we got tired of them dying and having to get new ones, so we stopped. Our loving ginger cat's name is Tuss (or Otis) and my cute little kitten, Mittens. I love her so much, though she has been doing some annoying stuff lately, like peeing on things and stopping Mum from giving her away by being ADORABLE!!! Yesterday she got on my lap about two or three times and fell asleep. She had been so cuddly that we had to keep her.
Oscar is our big galumphing pooch. He still loves cuddles even though he is around thirteen years old.
And our chicken is just a chicken.
We also have a fish pond, but we aren't sure if the fish are all still alive. He named one Bob, because he kept coming to the surface and bobbing about.
I have a Unicorn called Elizibeth. She likes to eat cupcakes and lives in our shed.

That is all our pets! (For now!)

Why everyone should go vegan


I would like everyone to be vegan.
link

Why? There are many reasons.
For one, I am a vegan myself, and I believe that no-one should be cruel to animals. If everyone was vegan, they wouldn’t stuff chickens and pigs in cages so tiny that they couldn’t even turn around. They wouldn’t dump the animals in a truck and ship them off to a place where they will be killed. They wouldn’t force-feed them. They wouldn’t do lots of things that they are doing now.
Lots and lots of people believe that dairy cows have a long, happy life in big green fields then have a quick and painless death. 
But the truth is, that is actually not what happens. Instead of munching happily on grass and doing nothing except lounging about, dairy cows are forced to produce 20-50 litres of milk every day. Cows are made to be pregnant every year. Their young are taken straight away to be killed within days, raised for meat, or to become dairy cows. Separation from their calves is very distressing for the mother cows. Being forced to have babies and making so much milk, means a cow gets worn out. When that happens, it is shipped to the meat industry to be turned into food. Most humans ignore the truth just so they can go on eating the food that they love.
Secondly, people can survive perfectly well without meat. We could even be healthier by eating a plant-filled, delicious diet. Being vegan helps prevent lots of diseases, like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity
Third, the meat industry also causes lots of pollution, just for a food that no-one needs. The waste from factory farms leak slowly into rivers and streams, which poisons the water that people drink.  
Finally, the grain that they feed to pigs, cows and such could go to starving families all around the world. 
So that is why I think everyone should be vegan.

Kittens!

Yesterday my family and I (except Dad!) went to the RSPCA to look at little girl kittens that we might want to get. We've been talking about getting another kitten for a while, but this would be MY kitten.

I was REALLY excited!

So we went into the cat section and saw mostly grown-up kitties. There were only two kittens. We went up to the desk and Mum asked if there were any girl kittens. The woman at the desk said to ask the cat keeper. So we went into the cat section again and asked the person who looked after the cats. She said we could look at them in the cat lounge.

I fell in love with a black one with little white paws. I called her Mittens. She had two sisters and one ginger coloured brother. Here's how cute she is:





After a long time of playing, she agreed to stay on my lap.



Then we had to go to my brother's percussion workshop at the Con (where my Dad works). I was very sad to leave Mittens. 

Mum said, "Let's see what Dad thinks before we make a decision about Mittens," so when we got to the Con I asked him straight away.

He said yes if Mum said yes, and Mum said.........YES!!! When I had said all my thanks, Mum and I went to the RSPCA and paid for Mittens. But we couldn't bring her home straight away because she needed to be desexed. We can pick her up in four days!

Then we went back to the Con and met Nana. We talked for a while and went off to have a picnic at Belmore Basin. After that we went to the beach with Oscar. Then we went home and to bed. I was feeling very happy, because I finally had a kitten! 

THE END.

The Samoa adventures

About six months ago Mum got a call from a family member that the whole family was going to Samoa to spread Mum's dad's ashes and asked if we wanted to come, but Mum said no. Mum thought about it for a while and one day she asked us if we wanted to go, and we said:"YES!!!"So we decided to go.
But of course we talked to Daddy about it too.We finally decided that Daddy would stay home for three days then he would come join us and our neighbour would look after the pets while we were gone. On the day of leaving we all said goodbye to dad, and our pets, and went.
