Purrs 4 Peace Week 45 Thank You

This week I would like to express my my gratitude for the contributions of Purrs 4 Peace project supporters Betsy Gunderson and her four beautiful cats. Betsy has been so helpful in promoting the Purrs with her wide circle of friends on Facebook. Not to mention the gorgeously peaceful purring that eminates from the four special cats from their home in Florida. Betsy is a native of Minnesota and grew up on Lake Minnetonaka. She says that she has loved cats since she was a girl and cannot imagine her life without her furry friends. Now that is a human with good taste in friends.

Betsy moved to Florida over twenty years ago and pursued a career in journalism for ten years before becoming a fourth grade teacher. She also pursues her love of music playing the saxophone with local bands. In addition, she volunteers with a local animal shelter working with cats and kittens. That is my kind of special human!

Betsy says she has a wonderful group of students who share her love for cats and kittens. I am certain it is a testament to Betsy and her teaching abilities. I commend Betsy for her part in the education of a new generation of compassionate and “animal friendly” people.

Her four sweet cats (who she describes as her “four-legged wingless angels) are Eensie Ears, Choo-Choo, Beauty and Little Raina (the beautiful cat pictured above) who is a special needs kitty. They fill her home with love, beauty and joy, according to Betsy. Betsy also has two rescue doves named Snowflake an Marshmallow. Awww. I think it is wonderful that cats and birds can live peacefully together.

Eensie Ears, a big, beautiful, orange kitty, was beaten and abused as a kitten. Betsy adopted her after she was found abandoned and injured near some trash bins. She has an amazing spirit and strong will to survive. She has risen above her abused begginings and is now a sweet ball of love at 5 years old.

Choo-Choo and Beauty were both rescued shelter kitties and Little Raina was abandoned as a kitten after suffering a terrible ordeal. Betsy says of Little Raina that she will always be small in size, but her heart is big and full of love....just like her human mom I think.

Amazing cats with an amazing human mom in the opinion of Confucius Cat.

I will close this post with Betsy’s favorite animal quote: “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” - Anatole France.

So true!!!!!!!! Thank you Betsy. You are and your precious kitties are truly wonderful. I grateful of your friendship. Your contribution to world peace with your loving and compassionate way of living as well as your help with my modest project is vital and much appreciated. Love and purrs to you.

Thank you to every purrticipant. It has been impossible to keep track of everyone purrticipating from week to week. Therefore, I am including all those who have assisted with this project and will add newcomers from week to week. Thank you and BRAVO one and all!

Purrs 4 Peace Week 45: Declare the World a No Bullying Zone!


"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself." - Harvey S. Firestone.


When my mummy was a child and bullies tried to victimize her with threats of (and actual) violence, her mom hired the older brother of one of her friends to be a sort of body guard to escort her to and from school. For the price of $5 per week (that tells you how long ago this was) mummy was safe from physical harm. Later she had to learn how to defend herself verbally and physically from bullies in the school and neighborhood.


But the bullies my mummy encountered with their insults based on rhymes with her name and even with their punches, all seem much more mild than what young people...and even adults...have to endure or defend against nowadays. It seems that as we as a nation and as a culture obtain more technology we use those technological advances for ill as well as good. These days bullies can even attack you when you are in your home with the doors locked. They don’t have to batter in your doors or windows, all they have to do is use their computer, or their smart phone, or their cell.


To me this all boils down to really to fear. Fear must be why bullies do what they do. Fear they are not important enough. Fear they don’t have enough power. Fear that they will be hurt. So they have to make someone else have even MORE FEAR, so that they can feel safe, powerful, immune to hurt. In my opinion then we have to fight the FEAR. Fear that the bullies instill certainly, but also fear bullies must feel.


Let's eradicate FEAR and by so doing, declare the world a no bullying zone.


Let’s purrrrrrr.


Purrs are power. Purrs are potent. Purrs are peace.


2: 59 p.m. Get ready to Purrrrrrrr.


SET.


3:00 p.m.


Confucius Cat say: GO!


Feel the peaceful power of your purrs building inside your, growing into a mighty power and spilling into the universe. #purrs4peace


Imagine any person in desperation and fear from bullying is soothed, fearless, confident, strong. #purrs4peace


Imagine the heart of every bully transformed with compassion, kindness, empathy. The mean spiritedness quenched with peace. #purrs4peace


Imagine every human heart filled with love and their actions guided by kindness. #purrs4peace


Imagine love triumphs over FEAR, compassion triumphs over FEAR, PEACE triumphs over FEAR. #purrs4peace

Purrs 4 Peace Week 45 Announcement: Battling Bullies with Purrs

Bullies are always cowards at heart and may be credited with a pretty safe instinct in scenting their prey.” - Anna Julia Cooper


Bullying behavior by children and teens has recently been on the increase. The online statistics on bullying and cyberbullying are diverse. But based it appears that generally one-third of children are bullied in school, in their neighborhood or online. The results of bullying are profound. It is estimated that at least 160,000 children do not attend school on any particular day due to fear of attack of bullying. Consequences can be even more extreme. We have probably all heard of the tragic results of such behavior in the case of Phoebe Prince and her suicide after vicious and unrelenting bullying by fellow school girls and boys.

“Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke” - Benjamin Disraeli

What can we do?

  • Stand up to bullies in our own lives.
  • Teach our children to stand up to bullies.
  • Insist that authorities deal effectively with bullies in school environments.
  • Insist that authorities deal with cyberbullying by all available prosecutions and that new laws to deal with new technological opportunities for bullying be addressed.
  • Do not tolerate bullying of others when you witness or know about it.

* And.................this week we will purr.

Week 45 of Purrs 4 Peace details are as follows:

  • Week forty-five’s appointed time is Sunday, April 25, 2010.
  • Participants should purr for three minutes commencing at 3 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) which is 8:00 p.m. (20:00 hrs.) in the U.K.
  • The cat’s human staff should assist their cats with the project by stroking and nuzzling the cat at the appointed time.
  • Please post your cat name and the country you purr in at www.confuciuscat.blogspot.com as a COMMENT if you are participating in this historic project. (posting a link to your own website-if you have one-is encouraged.) Or let me know by message on twitter or facebook.
  • Posting purrs on facebook ( Acolytes of Confucius Cat or as friend to Alley Mason) and twitter (@ConfuciusCat) is encouraged, since it inspires purring in others, but not required. On twitter please use #purrs4peace in your tweets.

Purrs 4 Peace Week 44: Thank you


This week I would like to express much appreciation and gratitude to a lovely friend who has supported the Purrs 4 Peace project with purrs from her home in St. Louis in the United States: Maggie T Kat a gorgeous cat (as you can see from the photo above ) who is a loving and gentle presence as well as a generous friend on twitter @MaggieTKat. Maggie and her family also have a fabulous blog which I recommend to you all. Maggie has very kindly provided her endearing story and so I will turn this post over to her charming words with only an occasional comment from me.


“Hi, everyone! I am Maggie T Kat, and I am a purebred Maine Coon. My color is officially dilute blue smoke tortishell. One of the distinguishing features of Maine Coons are ear tips, sort of like a bob cat. Sometimes pictures don't show this since they can blend into the background. We are one of the largest breeds of cats. I weigh almost 12 pounds (5.4kg) , am long, tall and lean, and have a gorgeous tail that is about 15 inches (38.1 cm).

I have been organizing #readpawty, a pawty for anipals that read. I am keeping a list of books on my blog, http://krusekats.blogspot.com/ . We have had one meeting and have chosen books to read. We will meet the first tuesday of every month.

I was the only kit from my champion mom, but she rejected me so I was hand raised by the breeder. I almost lost the sight in my left eye from conjunctivis, but it healed nicely. My tail is kinked, so I wasn't a desireable cat for showing. Mom arranged for my adoption when I was about 10 months old. I am SO glad she did because I'm not sure I would enjoy being a show cat. I will be 4 years old this May.

I live with one cat, Buster who is 13.5 years old. He is a wonderful, wise man. He goes outside, and comes back with all kinds of stories. I prefer to listen since I am a tad skittish. We will get another dog eventually. Dad is very sad that his best friend went OTRB. Although I am sad that Rudy C Kat is also OTRB, I will be getting a Maine Coon kitten in June.

Confucius Cat note: It’s my understanding the new kitten will be named Parker after Charlie "Yardbird" Parker the saxophonist. Cool name.


Bravo Maggie and thank you for not only graciously allowing me to share your story with the readers of this blog but for the sweet friendship you and your family provide daily.


Thank you to every purrticipant. It has been impossible to keep track of everyone purrticipating from week to week. Therefore, I am including all those who have assisted with this project and will add newcomers from week to week. Thank you and BRAVO one and all!

Purrs 4 Peace Week 44: Stop the Animal Holocaust

'I abhor vivisection. It should at least be curbed. Better, it should be abolished.
I know of no achievement through vivisection, no scientific discovery, that could not have been obtained without such barbarism and cruelty.'
Dr. Charles Mayo, Mayo Clinic


Millions of animals cruelly suffer and die each year in laboratories around the world. Supposedly, this slaughter continues to find cures for cancer, AIDS, Parkinson’s and other diseases. Ignoring that a huge percentage of these animals are tested needlessly for cosmetics and other nonessential purposes. One of the saddest ironies of this animal holocaust is that experimentation on animals is not really indicative of how a medicine or treatment will effect humans. Humans justify experimentation on animals by saying that they are not human yet ignore that their physiological differences make such testing unreliable. For example consider the study by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) wherein 12 anti-cancer drugs that are now being successfully used in humans were tested on mice. The scientists found that 30 out of 48 times the drugs were ineffective in Mice. So 63% of the time the tests on mice were inaccurate in predicting the drugs effect in humans. Stop the slaughter of the innocents. It is time for the animal holocaust to end.

"What I think about vivisection is that if people admit that they have the right to take or endanger the life of living beings for the benefit of many, there will be no limit to their cruelty."
--
Leo Tolstoy
