Even doggies like Music for Cats

Well, mama got the sweetest email from Mungo and Jet, who suggested that we acquire some special Music for Cats in this house for yours truly and so mama went right to the site and downloaded four songs that will keep me comforted and relaxed while THEY are out gallivanting and having fun WITHOUT ME!

Thank you so much, you thoughtful kitties, and I hope this works for others.

They also mentioned that “another good thing is that sales will support The Paw Project who campaign for an end to declawing of cats in the USA (and have influenced other countries like Israel to outlaw it.”

I cannot imagine how anyone can do that to an animal. Think about your own claws and how that would feel to YOU.  I believe it is called torture.

Shame on you, Americans who wish to ban Muslims from our free country.

All of us in this house are appalled at the Republican support for Mr. Trump’s call to ban Muslims from the USA. A wonderful piece in the NYT interviewed several Muslims in different jobs around New York City and their reaction to Mr. Trump’s hysterical speech.  What is even more appalling is that a large percentage of non-Republican Americans are considering his words as if they were sane!!!

What on earth has happened to our United States of America?  Are we next going to require that all Muslims in our country, students, doctors, lawyers, men, women and children, citizens of the USA, wear some kind of identification, as was required by Hitler of the Jews? Are we going to put Muslims in concentration camps as we shamefully did the Japanese during World War II?  Are we out of our minds? Perhaps the person next door in your community who harbours assault weapons in his closet should be required to wear a large red star on his clothing, symbolizing the blood shed from the misuse of arms in our gun-crazy country.

Fear is catching.  Fear is a disease.  Fear is the worst of the four-letter words. Fear distorts rational thinking.  Fear is exactly the tool that ISIS and radical terrorists groups use to attempt to pull rational human beings down into the hole of ignorance in which they wallow.  Do you think a child is born a radical racist Islamist?  One has to be taught to hate, maim and kill.  And it is heartening that good, hard-working American Muslims everywhere are awakening to the threat to their own way of life that radical Islamists are creating.  This will be the greatest weapon used against terrorists–not to succumb to fear.

The sane must keep their heads about them when all other are losing theirs.  Talk to your Muslim neighbour.  Talk to Muslim strangers. Do not let fear hold you prisoner in your own being. Do you even know what Islam is?  Well, for heaven’s sake, FIND OUT!  And keep on your own path of sanity or you may find yourself wearing a label of your own making one day.
