VBP Thursday

* waves from computer to the sound of banging and hammering *

Hi Guys,

Welcome to VBP (Vocab Building Project) Thursday! Thanks to Texas the cat and a few friends, we are joining in this chance to build vocabulary. Vocabulary? That's discovering new words - which is always a cool thing.

As we are currently building our new bloggy we have to keep this brief BUT we want to participate (take part) so here goes!

Metric - International Measurement used all over the world - centimetres, metres and kilometers.
Imperial - used in the USA, Liberia and Burma - inches, feet and yards.
Versatile - embracing a variety of subjects, fields, or skills (being able to use both measurements!)

UPDATE Rufus Needs us NOW! Long Beach CA. UPDATE

* runs to computer throwing aside WordPress Manual *

STOP PRESS UPDATE - I have been informed by Miss Sparkle that Rufus has a home (see comment under this post)! Thank you, everyone for the shares and ReTweets - they have helped!

THE DETAILS IF YOU CAN HELP :- 

Please call Lea of you can offer a foster or forever home for this lovely, affectionate cat that is healthy and up-to-date on all shots.  He is truly wonderful. [Lea is Lea Bordum - who is the point of contact). I believe that @CokieTheCat on Twitter also has details in case I am not online.

THE STORY

Rufus' owner, Susan Curtis, was hit by a car while riding her bicycle a week ago in Long Beach and was killed.  She left behind a dog named Sadie and six cats.  Rufus is one of those cats.  He was found on Saturday scared and confused and hiding underneath Susan's apartment building.  He is now safe but his foster home is not working out because the other cats in the home are not accepting Rufus and he'll be headed to the Seal Beach shelter within 24 hours if we can't find another situation for him ASAP.

Please note the mention of 'SAFE' in the video refers to him being FOUND, NOT to him being rescued and rehomed. Rufus NEEDS a HOME or FOSTER.

Wordless Wednesday - Summer Nippin Kittens

Love Saves The Day - Gwen Cooper

Guys! Homer the Blind Cat's mom has a new book out 'Love Saves The Day'! Mum and I are reading it at the moment but we are keen to make sure you get your own copy as soon as you can. We want to thank Ryker and his blog for the heads up about the book coming out today.

First week sales for an author are vital to ensure a book's success.  So far, mum and I can say that Ms Cooper has captured the nature of both cat, and human protagonists with a clear and honest eye - she is not overly sentiment but her writing has such depth that you cannot help but be moved by the characters.

Review to follow when I finish the book.  By then I hope you have got your own copy.  it is available at bookshops, from Amazon, and for the Kindle (which is how I got my copy).

See you guys.... * buries nose in book *
