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.

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.
