(okay...who put this plant in my window?)
First up; a big Kitty Kiss to a local doctor for bringing attention to and making people aware that the water in Flint, Michigan had become toxic.
Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, first decided to check lead levels in children after reports that the water was discolored and smelled and tasted bad.
This was after a City Manager was put in place by the governor who then took charge over the officials elected by the people of Flint. The City Manager decided to save money by switching the drinking water which was brought in from the Great Lakes to water from the local river.
Now there is a state of emergency and thousands of residents have been poisoned by toxic levels of lead; http://www.npr.org/2015/09/29/444497051/high-lead-levels-in-michigan-kids-after-city-switches-water-source

A great big super duper Fuzzy Hug to Prez Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry for using words to make the world a safer place! Today the historic Iran nuclear deal went into place AND to every ones surprise American hostages were released too...
For more info on this historic deal check out our post from September 13, 2015;

Next up, a large Sticky Paw goes to Chris Christie's mouth.
Not only does Mr. Christie act like a two year old bully but someone needs to tell him there is no place on the world stage for talking smack about the president of the United States no matter who it is!

And if talking like a bully in a school yard weren't bad enough...

for the later we give him a great big hairball!
Next up a big hairball for Donald Trump.
All these months he's been acting all sweet and cozy with Ted Cruz but then this week the gloves came off and he hit Teddy with "maybe you can't be president...". Look we are not in any way fans of Ted Cruz but that's just as low a blow as when The Donald started with his birther talk about the president. It's a little old by now and it's not attractive Donny!

(We are awaiting tonight's democratic debate and will report accordingly.)
Next up.......a big Fuzzy Hug to Seattle's very first cat café the Meowtropolitan;

Hey Noodle, a squirrel cake is cool but that water up in Flint sure isn't cool, yuck! Maybe the crazy politicians drank some of that water!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great report! That's terrible about the water in Flint -- sending purrs and prayers to all affected!
ReplyDeleteThat is awful about the water, makes me glad that we have a well. I went to the cat cafe in NYC, it is a great idea. I agree with your hairballs to Trump and Chris Christie.
ReplyDeleteThe Island Cats and I live approx an hr away from Flint. In my opinion (and that of MANY others) the Governor needs to resign...he KNEW all along that the water was a disaster catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteWe live not far from Flint...and the water situation is such a big news story. We're purring for all the children of Flint...they are the ones most affected.

We heard about the bad water in Flint. That was some MEAN Beins what arranged that!
ReplyDeleteI know it is often a bit of a national sport to poke fun at our elected leaders but here is a fine line between genuine protest and aggressive disrespect. We rather like Mr Obama, he has done good things and would do more if the banks and business people would work with him.
ReplyDeleteWe heard about the Flint water - how CAN people do that kind of thing!!
Poor citizens in Flint :(
ReplyDeleteWell I don´t know what to say about Donald Trump other than I think he must be THE most stoopid human ever :)
We don´t have any Squirrels around here :(
But the recipe of Squirrel cake sure sounds jummy :)
XOXO
You know what? I HATE bullies no matter who they are and what their age. In fact, I think that older bullies are the worst because really and truly, by now they SHOULD know better. You know? So how come every time I turn on the television... Awww... MOUSES!
