I'd like to lodge a complaint .... there was no canned food for breakfast .... this is an unacceptable situation. I'll be sitting on your doorstep and you will not enter without bleeding until we all get canned food ...... you've got till high noon to produce, dude.

UH OH ......

Meanwhile at Feline Fields .... the hoomans are discovering they're down to the last bowl filling .... no more dry on the property by morning .... every last morsel will have been converted into cat poo.

OH NO .... what ever shall we do ????

Will YOU help ???
$16.99 for 40 pounds of dry ..... or $8.38 for a case of canned ..... take your pick ... or if you can.... just donate a can or two. Every little morsel counts. www.RikkisRefuge.org/FeedMe

Do you remember I told you way back in early January we'd ordered 200 cases of canned food from WalMart? And then they said 3 weeks to get it in. So when it finally came in and we went to pick it up ..... there were only 144 cases .....

What happened to my food????

Ohhh it will be in in a couple more days ... we'll call you.

But they didn't .... and when we called nobody knew nothin .... they thought more food was in but nobody could find it in the warehouse. Both mom and Papa Doug started calling every day. I even called a few times and said as Official SpokesKitty I demand to know ..... and they hung up on me.

So yesterday Miss Catina, one of my hoomans who comes to take care of me everyday, was at the WalMart and saw a whole great big pallet of canned cat food sitting out in the aisle. She snapped a picture of it. First thing this morning Papa Doug called WalMart again .... no they couldn't find it .... Papa Doug described right where it was in the picture less than 12 hours before .... they went and looked and couldn't find it. Ahhhhhhhh.

So I said ENOUGH .... hook up the goat cart and we're gonna go there .... if they won't give us our food ..... we'll just go and eat off their shelves .... see what they think of that.

And right there .... blocking the aisle .... right by the pet food rows ..... was MY pallet of cat food .....

And along comes somebody who sees us loading it up into like 100 shopping carts. And he says .... please buy all that ... somebody ordered it and never came to pick it up !!!!!! We told him why and now we have his private number for next time. And so they rolled the whole pallet out to load in the goat cart.

Just a glance in their direction strikes fear in the heart of most hoomans ..... Riley loves attention .... for a few very short minutes ... and then when she's done it's CHOMP ....

Medical Treatment Room

Thank you Uncle Paul !! Uncle Paul is working on a complete overhaul of the medical treatment room. There was a leak in the roof and oh .... no .... So lots of fix up work has been needed. Next step is a water (and various bodily fluid) proof covering for the walls and ceilings. What do YOU think would be good to use? We're exploring options. But before we can do it ... we'll need to raise the money too !!! If you'd like to help out, we'd greatly appreciate it .... www.RikkisRefuge.org/donate just make a note that your donation is for the medical treatment room.
