Sixty-Nine Cats Left for Free Adoption

Happy Mother's Day!  My kits let me sleep in until after 8 this morning - Lovey did bathe both of my hands and washed my face twice, while she waited - but it was wonderful to be able to just sleep until I felt like getting up.  It's still a grey and cloudy day out, and we're expecting thunderstorms this afternoon, according to the weather folks. It's not quite 50 degrees outside, and the kits are having a blast running in and out.  On my way home from Kathy's yesterday, I came across someone getting ready to cut down and put a huge box into the recycling bin.  I managed to get it home - for Nedi and Lovey to play in.  Lovey just likes to jump in and out of boxes, use them hidey-holes, and use them for hidden attacks.  Nedi likes to chew the boxes down to his preferred size - what ever that may be - he starts chewing (he doesn't eat the cardboard, he just rips it with his teeth, and spits the torn pieces out) at the box flaps and will sometimes gnaw away until there is only a partial panel left.  This box is 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 by 6 feet....  it should take him quite some time to rip it apart...
  There are 69 cats and kittens left for adoption at the Boulder Valley Humane Society, as of 9:30 this morning.  Again, cats 6 months or older are free to a nice home, while kittens are adoptable at half of their usual cost.  This includes a vet check, all vaccinations, spay or neuter and a microchip for identification purposes.  This "special" ends today at the regular closing time.  Please help these needy kits (if you can)!
   And, if you are at all interested in your heritage, family tree, whatever you wish to call it - I highly recommend watching Finding Your Roots, a PBS show hosted by Henry Lewis Gates, Jr. - it shows here in Colorado at 7 p.m. (MDT).  Tonight, the show will look into the backgrounds of three second-generation immigrants: Sanjay Gupta, Margaret Cho, and Martha Stewart.  These shows are always interesting - and Dr. Gates is an excellent host!
