Good Morning Everycat,

I has received several requests that a sample protest letter be drafted. Please find this below. Today I is not writing my normal mews article, due to researching on how to help our fellowcats in Beijing. Please find my sample letter below.

Fanks, every cat!

Until tomorrow,

Cecil


To Whom It May Concern,

I am appalled at the unethical treatment of felines that has recently surfaced in Beijing,China. As reported through numerous news outlets, Beijing is currently "cleaning up" its streets so that the city will look welcoming when visitors for the Olympics arrive. As reported in the Daily Mail, "hundreds of cats a day are being rounded and crammed into cages so small they cannot even turn around. Then they are trucked to what animal welfare groups describe as death camps on the edges of the city."

The photographic evidence of this that surfaced worldwide this week has shocked and horrified many. I am taking action now to let it be known that this type of cruelty towards animals cannot and will not be tolerated by citizens of countries who participate in the Olympic Games.

I encourage all who are on the International Olympic Committee and all those on the Beijing and London Organizing committees who have a voice in this community, to stop the unethical and destructive treatment towards felines in Beijing. It is the responsibility of the Olympic committees to ensure that all aspects of the games and the host countries coincide with the values of the athletes, citizens of the host country, and viewers worldwide. Beijing must understand that this behavior is unacceptable and must be stopped immediately.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Sincerely,

XX

Vitamin recall, Kitten Adventure, and Feline Lukemia treatment

Today I am going to review two articles, but first I have to make sure that you are all aware that there is a vitamin recall! The Hartz company has recalled 739 bottles of Hartz Vitamin Care for Cats due to a possible contamination with salmonella. The bottles that are being recalled have the lot number of No. SZ 22771. It is very important that if you have a bottle with this lot number to have your human discard it and to report any sudden illnesses to your V E T.

Now I have a very happy article to report to you! The article is titled, "Kitten Survives Trip in Shipping Crate."

This little baby cat was packaged and shipped along with some spooled steel. The box was closed on Friday Feb. 4th and then shipped THREE days later. When the package arrived in Cleveland, the baby cat was discovered. Unfrtunately during the trip his Mom Cat and brothers and sisters went to the Rainbow Bridge. The good news is though that he is doing very very well!

The next article is one that has ignited much hope in my purring little heart. "Imulan Working on Treatment for Feline Lukemia." Vet Craig Woods has formed a company called TR Biosurgical LLC, and his company researches tissue-regenerating technology. He has formed a partnership with Imulan Biotherepeutics company which currently researches and creates treatments for kitty illnesses. Woods' company has created a second partnership with T-Cyte Therapeutics
who are currently researching and developing a new class of proteins that control stem cell functions. "These proteins enable animals to use their own adult stem cells to repair damaged or diseased tissue." Together these three companies are trying to develop a treatment for feline leukemia!!!

YAY! Let us cross our paws and purr that this will happen very soon!

Until tomorrow,
Cecil

PS- Tomorrow I have a surprise! I am going to introduce you to someone very special to me!
