 | First, apologies for the missing Thursday newsletter. Unfortunately, my sidekick, Mongo (my HP), suffered a near-fatal event last Monday. While Mongo is conscious again, I'm still in the process of recovering all my necessary software and files. Therefore, I'm asking my readers to refrain from sending questions by email. The above link gives alternatives. Also, if you need to unsubscribe or change your email address, there is a self-service link at the bottom of each newsletter. See you again at the usual day and time, next Thursday. And love on those kitties in the meantime. We mean the world to them, you know. Connect With Franny

| LA Bans Pet Sales in Stores
Best Friends Animal Society is exultant about the news that the City of LA is effectively becoming a no-kill city by banning the sales of commercially bred dogs, cats, and rabbits from pet stores in Los Angeles. I'm sure my readers are familiar with the terms "puppy mills" and "kitten farms." That is the kind of commercially bred pets in question. In the future, all pets sold in pet stores in that city will be those from shelters and rescues brought there for "adoption day" events, much as Petsmart and other large retail pet stores have done for years. Elizabeth Oreck, Best Friends' national manager of puppy mill initiatives said that the ordinance will not affect responsible, hobby breeders... read more
| Why do cats sometimes act so crazy?
 A reader had an overwhelming curiosity about why almost all cats sometimes act so crazy. She was referring to the idiosyncratic way that some cats engage in the behavior my family has always described as "going ballistic."
