Dearest friends on the innernets,
We just readed Daisy's bloggy. Today her sweet sister, Pixie, went to heaven. Her heart had been broked for a long time. She was a Fierce Fighter and a very good girl that loved her bananners. We know Daisy and her mommy and daddy are very real sad. We are, too.
We know our big brother, Felix, is with Pixie right now. He loved all cats and was very good at watchin' over us and makin' sure we was okay. Daisy, just know that Pixie will be watchin' over you forever and Felix will make sure she's okay.
Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang

We unnerstand 'zactly how she's feelin'...Please stop by Roscoe's bloggy and let his mommy know that she is not alone...our mommy says all of them nice messages everybody leaved for us when we lost Felix made all the difference in the world. We wanna make sure Roscoe's mommy feels how much everybody cares, too.

To all our friends on the innernets, this is all of us speakin'. It thundered tonight. The first thing mommy said was "Oh, I've got to go check on Felix!" See, Felix was real skeert of thunders and storms. He would git real nervous and run to hide unnerneath the bed. Mommy would always try to find him and make him feel not skeert.
For a split second, she forgotted that he had to go to heaven. Then she started to cry.
It made us very real sad.
Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang

Dearest Friends,
Today has been one of the saddest days of my life. I am afraid the end is very near for our sweet Felix. I know this has been a horrible roller coaster ride and I do want you all to know that I appreciate very much your being right here with us through every twist and turn.
Today we feel with almost certainty that our little man has Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). While it is almost impossible to diagnose with 100% certainty until the animal has passed, every indication is that Felix does have it and is very near the end. His abdominal and chest cavities have now filled with fluid that is negative for infection but very high in protein...yet another strong sign of FIP. His fever is back up and he is not interested in eating. The wonderful people at VRCC have given him medicine to help him rest comfortably tonight and have promised to call both myself and Dr. Davies if there is even one slight sign of pain/discomfort or suffering. Although I do not know for certain, I am afraid that Wednesday we will have to let this bright, wonderful spirit pass on where he can watch over us all and wait for us to join him.
I am heart broken...heart broken to the core. How can I come into this house without him here? Please pray that he will not suffer and will know how much he is loved...loved by me, his brothers and sisters in the Whiskers & Purrs Gang and all of his sweet friends from the Cat Blogosphere.
We will let you all know when he is free from pain and being sick.
Thank you all for being there.
Mommy Jenny

In the meantime, please help us FLOOD this TV station and other media outlets with notes of condemnation. All of us in the cat blogosphere is the only hope these poor little peoples have gots.
Very truly yours,

We learned early yesterday that WRLH, the local Fox affiliate located at 1925 Westmoreland Street in Richmond, had contracted a local pest control company to trap and kill stray and feral cats and kittens residing on and around the station%u2019s property. This course of action was deeply troubling to us and I communicated to them our willingness to help manage and control the cat colony using non-lethal humane methods such as trap-neuter-return or relocation.
Yesterday I spoke with a representative of Sinclair Broadcast Group, current owner of the Fox affiliate and recent acquirer of WTVR Channel 6. This representative was unswayed by our offers to assist. This morning I spoke with Steve Genett, General Manager of Fox Richmond. At first he seemed willing to discuss a compromise solution that would incorporate non-lethal methods, but later in our conversation he admitted that bulldozers were plowing through the cat habitat at Fox's offices at that very moment. I immediately rushed to the location and was shocked and horrified to see the swift and total destruction of the area.
Sinclair Broadcast Group and Fox Richmond's unconscionable actions are cause for great concern throughout our community. I cannot begin to understand what manner of corporate culture and leadership it would take to behave in this cruel way. I encourage you to contact the following individuals and companies to express your outrage:

I know that Richmonders consider the plight of homeless animals and feral cats to be a very high priority and a cause that is close to their hearts. I had hoped that Fox and Sinclair Broadcast Group would reconsider and continue to operate as a kind and responsible media partner in our community, but that hope was dashed with their inhumane actions this morning.
Sincerely,
Robin Robertson Starr
