Last 5 Days of Free Feline Adoptions!

The Boulder Valley Humane Society has 61 cats and kittens available for adoption this morning -  there are 5 days left in the month, during which, you can adopt any cat or kitten (aged 6 months or older) for absolutely zero cost! The wonderful cats and kittens have had a vet exam, are current on all vaccinations, have been spayed or neutered and have a microchip ID implanted under their skin. As usual, most people want a young kitten or puppy before they will choose an older animal -  this is why the free feline deal is for cats that are 6 months of age or older.  As I always plead, if you have the time, the space, the funds, and can give some of your love (that will be returned a hundred-fold), then please adopt one of these needy kits.    -  Did you know:
* Ailurophilia is the "love of cats."                                   
* The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human.                                   
* A cat will almost never "meow" at another cat. This sound is reserved for humans. The more cats are spoken to, the more they will speak to you!                                   
* Cats knead with their paws when they're happy. We like to call this "making biscuits"!                                   
* If your cat is near you, and her/his tail is quivering, this is the greatest expression of love your cat can give you.
    We are still expecting another 100+ degree day.  There are now 13 wildfires burning in Colorado - the latest fire is near Last Chance, over 38,500 acres burned last night; an area of 15 by 9 miles.  It was amazing to watch the news reports this morning, showing how the extreme heat melted a glass windshield into the interior of a car; looking at runnels of melted aluminum from hubcaps; melted steel from the tire rims - and, in the remains of a house, a melted porcelain bathtub....
    My kits are spending most of time inside, either laying on the tile, or in the bathtub - the coolest places in the apartment.  I am still running three fans, all at medium speed, but just sitting and reading (or researching) leaves my shirts soaked with sweat and my hair dripping sweat from my scalp... and that's with only 5% humidity.  I'm making sure the kitty fountain runs constantly, and both regular water bowls are filled.  Me?  I'm drinking only 20 ounces of Coke a day, plus a quart of Gatorade, and at least 3 quarts of water per day...  trying to keep all of us hydrated correctly!
