The Mad Macedonian blog has put up a fantastic post for those of you who are animal lovers, and who have been affected by the So Cal Firestorm. You can read the entire post here. Here is an excerpt:
As is well known we cats have 9 lives, but as I watched and read the news this week I shuddered to think of all those cats who may have lost a few, or all of them, to the horror of fire.
Animal Companions and livestock, from Birds to Rabbits and beyond have been affected by this tragedy, and efforts are under way to provide disaster relief:
1. The Ca. Vet Medical Ass.:
With the ferocious wildfires in Southern California and San Diego County, the CVMA wants to assure you that the CVMA Veterinary Disaster Response program is in effect.

Is your practice taking animals?

Hey Art,
The Mad Macedonian didn’t write that post. I did.
Pretty good for a cat eh?
If you ever need a cat blogger let me know.
Pets will alway bring a tear to ones eyes.
But the real question is what are they going to do with all the wild animals being pushed by the fire towards riverside county cities?
Mountains lions look strong and majestic until they eat your brains. Coyotes and house cats dont mix. etc etc.
