The Caturday Report: Summer’s First Edition

I was a little nervous putting together my first Caturday Report! I know it’s supposed to be easy to find newsy items about kitties, since everyone loves to talk so much about us, but I wanted to make sure they were the right ones!

Sparkle was right — cat bloggers have way more useful information than the more “official” news outlets! You can see here:

Did you know how much Russians love us kitties? Inspired by an old superstition, a Russian bank is loaning cats for free to walk over the thresholds for new homeowners and bring them good luck! No, they don’t get to keep them.
The news that Hello Kitty might not be a cat has rocked the internet! This story sets it all straight… well, maybe not.
Holistic vet, Dr. Jean Hofve, DVM, discusses people who are allergic to cats on Jackson Galaxy’s blog, and suggests some solutions for humans who want to live with kitties.
Here is an important post from the Conscious Cat, about disaster preparedness for cats! Every human needs to have a plan!
This is my own favorite story — a post from Playful Kitty about how petting a cat benefits human health! This is why I am studying to be a therapy cat.

It has been an eventful week and a half here, as you know. Here is what happened, in case you missed any of it:

If you haven’t read Sparkle’s good-bye post yet, please do. It’s beautiful.
Sparkle also introduced me just before the weekend I came home.
Her last post was her Human Astrology for Cats column, about Virgo humans. She didn’t complete the year-long series. I’m not sure what to do. There are still four more sun signs to go. Do you think I should try to tackle them? I’m not experienced in astrology like Sparkle was… and can I trust my human (who did study astrology) to be impartial enough to help?
Here is my first post from my new home!
My first week here was very eventful! Here is some of what went on.
Lastly, and most importantly, is Sparkle’s memorial service and commenthon. So far there are way over 300 comments, which is amazing! But there is still a ways to go before reaching our 500 comment goal, so please stop by and comment if you haven’t yet!

Did I do okay? I hope so! If you see a good cat-oriented news item around the internet, send me a link and I may include it next week!
