It breaks my heart that this little guy who was so full of life is no longer alive... murdered by people running a system of senseless tyranny. Peanut was more animated than my little Mia (blind cat) but not much more. Mia was climbed up and perched on my shoulders until a moment ago. She often climbs up there when I'm on the computer. Sleeps in my lap every night (I sleep in a recliner due to apnia), she is on the arm of my chair most nights at dinner time whiffing my food with front paws on TV tray. We couch potato our meals... she chatters with me when I talk to her or make cat noises (I'm into vocal sound effects have been my whole life). And Mia not only gets along with our two pups, she and Dakota (lab / pit mix) hug... Dakota nudges Mia and when Mia has had enough she raises up and grabs Dakota's snout playfully. We threaten to video Mia to post online but never get around to it. She loves to roll on the floor for my attention to pet her and flops side to side when I do. 

As a kitten her eyes had to be removed because they were too small (this is what her records say). And she was an outcast at the SPCA (the other cats picked on her and would not let her eat). She had to eat from the litter box to survive. When we found her there, she was backed into the corner of the room the cats were in. I picked her up and fell in love with her. We adopted her and when the three munchkin cats we had reacted to her I was ever at her defense. I guess that's when we bonded.

I've also seen the video of this man after the hideous actions of the police and department responsible for Peanut's and Fred the raccoon's euthanization. It breaks my heart as if it happened to my own....

And he made these videos to share and to raise money for the animal shelter he ran.

Bureaucrats enrage me like few people can.

Your story about Mia touches my heart.   So glad she found a kind home with you.

Yes, the current Democratic leadership is doing crazy things and they are blinded to that fact.   Don Trump Jr talked of Peanut, too.

I hope you and your wife voted for Trump already or today.   I mailed my ballot at the post office.

Voted last week early voting for all Republicans (especially Trump / Vance).
