Charley the cat has cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). He requires no special care, is not in pain and his life will be as long as any other cat’s.
CH is a condition in which the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls a cat’s coordination, isn’t fully developed, according to cat expert Jane A Kelley. A [...]

Hey Pals,
It's time to celebrate! We've reached our 500th post. We can hardly believe it. We were hoping to hold out for this post to have confirmed news that Snickers would be out of the woods with her illness, but it looks like it's going to be a waiting game for a few months yet. And we can't wait that long to post.So what better news to report then to let everyone know that Jake & Fergi have suggested we make 'WORLD WIDE MOMENT' an annual event! Isn't that great news??
Here is a copy of their post announcing the big event:
Let's Do It Again!
Well.
In our humble opinion
The Worldwide Moment
was
so Special
so Powerful
so Affirming
so Affirming
so Confirming
so Supportive
and
and
So much of an Example
of the huge quantity of Love that exists
among all the doggies and kitties
and (who knows?)
hamsters and gerbils
bunnies and teddy bears
and all the other four legged creatures
and all the other four legged creatures
All around the World
That we're suggesting making it
An Annual Event.
So
We've created a Countdown Timer
and put it on our sidebar
Same Time
Same Place
(Wow! That means All Around the World!)
Next year!
And while this year
the event was initially promoted
the event was initially promoted
because of our concerns
regarding one of our very very special friends
It developed
(Rightfully and Thankfully so)
to include all the furries and fuzzies
and their families
that were needing some extra Support
and Love
for whatever the reason.
Next year
By design
the Worldwide Moment
Will be to send loving and positive energy
to ALL
who need it.
Specifically, to all of our Friends.
Those we've met
and those we have yet to meet.
So.
If you want to put the Countdown Timer on your Sidebar
Grab it (if you can)
or
Grab it (if you can)
or
Email us for the HTML
and then
Pass it around to whomever might want it
Pass it around to whomever might want it
By inviting them to grab it and post it as well.
We hope everyone will join us next year for the big event! It's so pawsome to see how many humans and furry kids connect together for each other from all over the world. We have been blessed to have so many of you praying for our girl Snickers. We just know your prayers are working. The lymph node swelling has gone down tremendously in her neck & chin, but there is still a little swelling. This might take some time to go away totally. We must still wait a few weeks to see if any swelling comes back, but Snickers promises everyone that it's not going to happen! Her tough terrier spirit is not going to let go and she will fight with everything she has got! She's already shown that to us before, more than once! So we know she will win this battle.
So please tell everyone about next year's event so that everyone can join in. May the POWER OF THE PAW be with you.
Wirey Hugs,
Butchy, Snickers, Ruby, Sylvester & Scuby
