DORI: Hi evfurry buddy, this is Dori. *half-hearted wavy paws.* I
usually welcome yoo to Kick the Litter with a perky little paragraph about how
we like to mix hoomor with intelligent debate over Hot Topics that pertain to
us cats, but fwankly there’s nuthin’ hoomorous about today’s Hot Topic and I’m
too upset to do anything more than growl.
Drastic Change In Diet is Cause for Rebellion
OPIE: We’re all upset
because our mom has gotten some insane notion that kibble is causing problems
and we need to take a huge step back from eating it. That's Boo-Sheet!
DORI: It’s because of
yoo, KC. Yoo are to blame!
KC: What? I didn’t
do nuthin’.
DORI: Yoo most
certainly did, mister! Yoo turned into a voracious kibbie junkie, pestering our
momma until she felt the need to Gogle why yoo are so hungry even after nomming
yoor meals.
DORI:
Welcome to Kick the Litter, a new feature here on It’s a Wonderpurr Life where
members of our family, comprised of cats from varying backgrounds, generations,
and breeds, gather each week to mix humor with intelligent debate over Hot Topics
that pertain to not only us, but to cats in general all over the world. Hi
evfurrybuddy, I’m yoor host, Dori, the Baba Wawa of the cat blogging world.
*wavy paws*
HERMAN: Each week we choose our topics with
the intention of educating human caretakers, many of whom have the wrong
impression about caring for cats. Sadly, it’s an uphill battle, but we hope our
debates will bring awareness and open dialogues among humans to benefit us all.
Today’s Hot Topic is one that hits home with our family.
CRUEL ABANDONMENT OF UNWANTED FUR KIDS
CANDY: Over the past few weeks we’ve heard several conversations
between my parents over someone they know who got rid of their cat or dog because
it grew into something that didn’t fit into the life they envisioned with their
pet.
OPIE: I hate that word. Pet. It makes us
sound like we’re possessions. Owned, like a lamp or a couch.

Today’s subject for discussion is especially dear to those of us on this panel
because five years ago this week we nearly lost a beloved member of our fam—
RABBIT: <zooms into room and jumps onto
couch, knocking Herman to the floor> I’m here! What did I miss?
DORI: Nothing. Yoo aren’t on today’s
discussion panel.
HERMAN: <eases to feet> Do you have any idea how rude you
really are?
RABBIT: I’m not rude, I’m enthusiastic. So, what’s
today’s Hot Topic? Why are cats afraid of cucumbers?
HERMAN: Don’t be stupid.
RABBT: I wasn’t one of over forty thousand Googling
that question last month, dude.
HERMAN: Today’s Hot Topic is:
Feline Urinary
Blockages Can Be Deadly
RABBIT: Naw. That’s not a good topic. How about Do Cats Fart? Ten thousand average searches on Google last month.
Lotsa people desperate to find the source of a bad smell in their living rooms.
HERMAN: Welcome
aboard the ST. HERMAN. I am your captain - Herman!!! <~ I never go anywhere
without my three exclamation points. Because the Wonderpurr Gang has been
working extra hard developing Kick the Litter for It's a Wonderpurr Life, I
thought they could use a break (especially Dori). Do something fun in the fresh
air. So, I decided to take them whale watching.
RABBIT: We’re
hunting whales? Isn’t that illegal?
HERMAN: What? No—
RABBIT: You mean
it’s legal to hunt whales?
DORI: *tugs on
Herman’s floofy tail* Will there be wefweshments served?
HERMAN: Yes—
RABBIT: I’m
pretty sure you’re wrong about it being legal to hunt whales.
HERMAN: No, I
meant Yes, I have a catered banquet. No, we aren’t hunting whales. We are
watching them.
RABBIT: Sounds
boring. Unless we’re watching them do kinky stuff.
What happens when a team of writers have a deadline, but their creativity is stalling? Let's listen in while the Wonderpurr Gang story editors struggle over getting the current Hot Topic to press.
KICK THE LITTER STORY EDITORS
RABBIT: So, what do we have so far?
ELLY: *reading notes from laptop* Claw-ful for awful.
Cathletic for athletic. Fur real for for real. And everyone’s favorite… Purr-fect
for perfect.
CANDY: What about Hiss-terical for Hysterical?
HERMAN: Hiss-tory for history.
RABBIT: Oh! Litter-gator for litigator. My pal Peanut aka @PretzelKitteh
is actively looking into legal action to get Mom to stop pinning that cat pun
on him.
DORI: *mumbling with eyes closed* No matter what’s happening
in your life today, remember… you are not limited by your resources, your
family or your background.
RABBIT: *to the group* Is she having a stroke?
DORI: Almighty God has equipped and empowered you. He has
given you creativity, ideas, inventions… skills and talents.
CANDY: She’s trying to write a Wake-Up Call post. I can’t
imagine the pressure she’s under having to switch gears from Bweaking Nooz to
Wake-Up Call, to Letters from Dori, plus do an Intermew every couple of months.
God! Inter-Mew. I’m sure Misty, Lisa and Sophie from @Misty.s_World cringed
when they realized that’s what our blog calls Dori’s interviews.
*tries to climb
up on soapbox...can't because of arthritis in hips...pushes pet stairs against
soapbox...climbs up to give speech*
Ahem! May I haz your attention please!
Senior kittehs make pawsome pets. Why you want a young frisky kitten who
needs so much supervision? Seniors have experience. They don't need
supervision. They need LOVE. And what's more...a rescued senior knows what life
is like when he's not wanted. He can give you so much more LOVE then a spoiled
little kitten because he appreciates you SAVING HIS LIFE! Think about it.
And another thing...
*sees a bug, forgets what he was saying... climbs off soapbox and wanders off to find a place to nap*
Here are our reasons why you don't want to adopt a senior cat.
DORI: Welcome evfurrybuddy to our fourth
episode of Kick the Litter, a brand-new feature here on It’s a Wonderpurr Life
where members of the Wonderpurr Gang, comprised of cats from varying
backgrounds, generations, and breeds, gather each week to mix humor with
intelligent debate over Hot Topics that pertain to not only us, but to cats in
general all over the world.
I’m yoor host, Dori, and I will be today’s
meowderator for today’s Hot Topic.
Adopting a Purebred Over a Shelter
Kitty
DORI: Today’s
Hot Topic really set fire under our tails, and not because it’s unseasonably
warm here in FloryDa. Out of 100+ rescues our momma has only once adopted a
purebred from a breeder. (Looks at Rabbit with disapproval).
RABBIT: What? It’s not my fault I’m a
pricey pussycat. I didn’t ask to be born. Joining me in this severely one-sided
debate is my big brofur Herman who is a mystery mix of Turkish Van and probably
some kind of Purina breed.
DORI:
Welcome everybuddy to another episode of Kick the Litter, a brand-new feature here
on It’s a Wonderpurr Life where members of my family, comprised of cats from
varying backgrounds, generations, and breeds, gather each week to mix humor
with intelligent debate over Hot Topics that pertain to not only us, but to
cats in general all over the world.
We hope by daring to meow about these risky topics we will educate humans who sadly are still living in the Dark Ages when it comes to cats.
Today's Hot Topic up for discussion is:
WHY ADOPTING AN FIV+ CAT ISN'T SCARY OR DANGEROUS
Joining me
today are Elly, Chevy and my daddy, Nikolas. One out of the three is not
positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, otherwise known as FIV+. By looking
at their faces, care to guess which one?
ELLY: Hi,
I’m Elly. Tomorrow is my sixth Gotchversary. Yes, tomorrow February 17th.
When I arrived in the yard of my future Forever Home, I was a little over a
year old. I had made friends with a handsome mancat named Noah who told me he
knew where I could find food. I’d been living in a colony for a while, but that
was a scary place. So, I followed Noah to a yard that smelled of raccoons and
dog food. I thought Noah maybe had lost his mind, but he looked expectantly at
the house, and soon a lady came out with kitty food and fresh water. She was so
nice, and I wasn’t afraid of her at all. A couple days later she took me to a
doctor so I could be adopted. That’s when she got the bad news. I was FIV+.
