Sunday Catinee: LiveStrong Edition

October 2, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat36 Comments

I assign my human the important task of putting this graphic together and she leaves town and winds up doing it at a quarter to midnight Saturday.

Our (not so) little community of cat bloggers has been hit especially hard by cancer this year, so it’s even more important for us all to show solidarity and support. This is the perfect time to take a short break and purr for a cure….

Are you back? I have something special to share with you: a video that shows that we cats do have healing power. Even though we are not scientists and can’t cure cancer on our own, we can help heal a human’s spirit and encourage her to focus on getting better. Research has proven it:

If you can’t see the video above, click here to watch it on YouTube.

Doesn’t Luke remind you of a certain popular blogging kitty? (You know who you are!) And remember — October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

    Sparkle this is a wonderful reminder as a purr can relax the human and help them keep up the fighting spirit. It is about working together to make sure to fight and find a cure for this terrible disease.

    Mr Puddy has a TWIN. Yes, cats do perform these services and only expect food, love and shelter in return. I small price to pay.

    Thank you Sparkle for sharing an illuminating video! Cats give and give to humans. And I think there’s a cat blogger with a Canadian cousin! Maybe they have a mutual ancestor.

    What a great story. I had no idea it was LiveStrong today. My dad died of cancer, my cat Tigger died of cancer and a friend had breast cancer and she is doing great today.
