Cat News!
There’s been a lot of interesting stuff going on, cat news-wise, so here are some notable stories…
First, our tubby friend, Hercules, who got himself stuck in a doggy door found his family, hooray! However, it seems that he was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, so we send him many purrs.
Tiffany Noreuil, an animal care technician at the Oregon Humane Society, holds temporarily-named feline Goliath, Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2007, in Portland, Ore. Goliath, a 20-pound stray whose girth got him stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food, is back with his owner. His name isn’t really Goliath, but it’s close. It’s Hercules, says owner Geoff Ernest, who was reunited with his tubby tabby Thursday at the society. Gresham, Ore., resident Jadwiga Drozdek found the feline stuck in the dog door of her home a few days ago, helped free him and gave him a plate of food on her patio.
