How to Foster Cats Responsibly

Here are the top five (5) recommendations for responsible cat fostering from People for the Eu Thanizing of Animals :-()

1. IF THE CAT STANDS NEAR YOU NOT LOOKING AT YOU, IT MEANS THAT HE OR SHE IS INTERESTED IN YOU. THEY MAY BE GROOMING THEMSELVES WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD, GLANCING AT YOU OCCASIONALLY AS IF YOU'RE A TOTAL ****HEAD, BUT IT OFTEN MEANS THAT THEY WANT YOUR ATTENTION AND THEY'RE PLAYING HARD TO GET.

HOWEVER, IF YOUR CAT IS NOT AROUND, DO NOT GO LOOKING FOR THE CAT, FIND HIM HIDING IN A CARDBOARD BOX IN THE CLOSET, AND THEN CUDDLE HIM FOR THE NEXT HOUR.

2. THE BEST WAY TO FIND A WONDERFUL NEW HOME FOR YOUR MOGGY IS TO "PAINT THE BEST PICTURE". USE PHOTOSHOP TO REMOVE ANY UNSIGHTLY MARKS ON THE CAT, OR TO MAKE THEM SEEM LESS EXCITED THAN THEY USUALLY ARE.

THE BEST PETS ARE THOSE THAT ARE "NO TROUBLE" TO THEIR OWNERS - SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE GRAPHICS PACKAGES TO GIVE THIS IMPRESSION.

HERE'S AN ORIGINAL PHOTO OF TWO CATS BEING FOSTERED:
BELOW IS THE PHOTOSHOPPED VERSION OF THE SAME PHOTO, WITH THE RED EYE AND OTHER DETAILS FIXED SO THAT THE CATS SEEM LESS DEVILISH AND MORE "CHILLED".

3. IF YOUR FLATMATE IS A CHEF FROM NEAR WESTERN RUSSIA, AND YOU ARE IRISH (WITH A THICK DUBLIN ACCENT), DO NOT JOKINGLY TELL YOUR MISBEHAVING CAT "I'LL BURST YOU!" IN FRONT OF THIS SAME UKRAINIAN CHEF.

YOUR CHEF FLATMATE OF NO FIXED NATIONALITY WILL TAKE THE PROMPT TO "BORSCHT" THE CAT AS A COOKING INSTRUCTION. YOU MAY FIND ON RETURN HOME FROM WORK THAT THERE IS NO CAT CLIMBING ON YOUR KEYBOARD OR CHEWING THROUGH YOUR WIRES, BUT INSTEAD THERE IS A TASTY, FELINE-BASED STEW SIMMERING IN A POT ON THE COOKER.

4. THERE IS LITTLE FINANCIAL REWARD IN CAT FOSTERING, SO USE THE CAT LITTER TRAY TO PRACTICE YOUR GOLD PROSPECTING SKILLS.
SIFTING THROUGH CAT LITTER FOR POOP BEFORE DUMPING IT IS A LOT LIKE GOLD PANNING - YOU SHOVEL UP THE LITTER WITH A SPECIALLY DESIGNED SHOVEL WITH HOLES, AND YOU SHAKE GENTLY TILL YOU GET THE "NUGGETS". ONCE YOU HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE BEHIND YOU, YOU CAN MOVE TO THE ALASKAN WILDERNESS, AND START YOUR EXPLORATIONS FOR RARE EARTH METALS.

5. FINALLY, IF YOU FIND A STRAY CAT, PLEASE GAS IT RESPONSIBLY.

Review: JIHADI A Love Story by Yusuf Toropov

Image
With a fantastic opening purportedly penned by a recently deceased narrator and edited via running commentary by a secondary narrator, JIHADI: A Love Story is written by Yusuf Toropov. The emotional intelligence of the main protagonist and the story itself are high on the list of pluses at the outset. Although many expectations are confounded throughout the story, the expectation of more confusion, while reading the opening pages, does not bear out. So if you find yourself asking: “What’s this about?”, just power on through the opening five pages. The quality of the writing will draw you in at the outset. But the plot is riveting, and it all starts to become fairly clear fairly quickly. It’s one of those novels that merits a second read not because of its difficulty, but because of the prose's beauty. In terms of plot, there is so much to it that there are things you may miss the first time out. Among much else, readers may find they are reading the novel for its story, and then

Dead Men Naked by Dario Cannizzaro

Image
Dario Cannizzaro’s narrator Louis, the protagonist of Dead Men Naked (available at Amazon ), loses his best friend Neil in a bizarre, seemingly hallucinogenic near-remote attack from an attic window as they stand in the same room, by Lou’s neighbour and a giant crow. Given the tequila and other substances taken, it is difficult to determine what exactly occurred through the narrator’s eyes. But Louis comes round the following morning worse-for-wear; he finds his friend’s body, realises that what happened was no dream, and summons the authorities to the scene. Strange beginnings complement a funeral where Neil’s parents end up consoling him as much as vice versa. On the trip, while Lou drowns his sorrows, he meets Mallory at a nearby, not-so-nearby dive, and begins an exploration of the spirit world. The journey is a theme in this novel, the roadside scenery described with a vivid and subtle poetry throughout. Also beautifully captured are aspects relationships – for instance,

The Survival Girls Book Review

The Survival Girls book: http://thesurvivalgirls.com/ Among her other achievements, Ming Holden gained the top prize in a Glimmer Train fiction contest in 2013. The email announcing her win came into my busy inbox one morning last year, and I almost deleted it. I clicked on it, more to get it marked as read than anything else, and I glanced at some words of acceptance from the prizewinner of the latest story competition, with a quote from Madeleine Albright and something about the power of intentionality. “Politics and philosophy,” I thought. When I clicked through beyond the teaser (which DID NOT do her writing-advice piece justice, although quoting a Democrat-appointed cabinet secretary, and a bit of philosophy will - surprisingly - get me clicking at anything), there was a wonderful Obamaesque idealism in Holden’s jesuitical plea to write for others, once you have an intended readership in your head. That readership can be the EMO kids, the dispossessed, the refugees, the voice
