My Favorite Quotes

"Thou shalt not kill." ― Exodus 20:13

"The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man. "
— Charles Darwin

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened."
~ Anatole France

"I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.”
~ Leo Tolstoy

Mischa is our latest rescue cat. I had been feeding her at our feral cat feeding place outside our house, and she was coming every night and morning. It took two months before I was able to pet her with many scratches every day along the way. But I knew Mischa could get there. Every day there was progress. Gradually she accepted coming inside the house for her pets. She had never been picked up before, so I worked on that too. Then finally, I said that’s it, and lifted her up and took her upstairs. She had already been spayed and was in surprisingly good health for being outside for at least 1.5 years. But she was thin. She proceeded to gain weight, a full lion mane around her neck! And fill out, she looks beautiful now! She is a dear kitty, lies beside my computer all day with me, sleeps on our bed, and is super affectionate, but lets no one else come near her.

Alex, rescued and trapped twice, finally have him back inside! Read about Alex in my blog post.
