Holiday Wishes From the Fort Faulsey Community Cats

When I suggested they write letters to Santa Paws, there was a lot of hissing, disdainful looks, and EJ jumping up and down in the background with excitement. So we compromised. Last year, I put up a Christmas tree and stockings and lights for them, but not this year. If you’d like to send them […]

Official Yard Sign for Pittsburgh Cats Available Now

As I’ve previously shared, our blog works with a new local 501c3, Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities (PLC), on some of our best projects. PLC has no editorial control over this blog and the blog (me) just has one vote on the PLC Board – and other board members who aren’t ever going to just go along […]

I usually included my barbies, stuffed animals, and assorted small toys. Setting up the actual plastic soldiers was dull. […]
