On Beauty

Have you ever wondered who determines what is beautiful in our society -- and who gave them the power to decide?

Anyone who spends time surrounded by animals and nature can tell you that real beauty is all around us. If who don't think our emu model is absolutely stunning, you need to come out and spend some time at the farm.

Video blogging cats

Vlog cats --- that is, a video blog of cats. What are we talking about? Check out Josh Leo's Vlog Cat Clips at http://www.joshleo.com/vlogcats/.

Scoll down to the "Medicating a Cat" post -- uhmmm... yeah ... it's that easy!

Now that we have moved our website to hostmonster.com we, too, can make and upload little video movies to our site. We can have a whole series of video clips on "medicating cats" -- of course ours are feral, crazy, or turn wild the instant a human even THINKS of medicating them.

Who wants to volunteer to be in the first video?

Update: July 13, 2006: We set up our free video hosting account with YouTube, so come out and shoot some little video clips for us to post. Our user name is rikkisrefuge.

Rikki's Refuge cat population has been infiltrated with aliens! They look like regular cats. They act like regular cats -- but see how their eyes glow!

We have taken a number of photographs of these alien cats and will share them via our Flickr account soon. Scary!

The rikkisrefuge.org website has been moved from Burlee/Interland to hostmonster.com.

The website became inaccessible while on Burlee/Interland, and they never responded to a technial support request. Can't run a website that way, bro!

It's a Rainy Day here at Rikki's. Be we have big plans for tomorrow. If all goes as planned ... ... ha ha ... ... we'll be starting major remakes of Doggy Downs at 10 am tomorrow Friday 5/12. Be here to help Kenny and Chris. Thanks Kerry
