National Cat Day 2015

Every day is National Cat Day here at Panda With Cookie, home of the personalized cat ornament. We spent 30 minutes this morning feeding and brushing our resident cat George, who wanted to send a greeting to some of the great cat shelters here in Portland, Oregon.

The Feral Cat Coalition does great work with trap and release programs to spay and neuter feral cats to help keep their populations down. You can visit their website to find out how to take in your neighborhood feral cats. Look for that distinctive tipped ear to see if they’ve been fixed.

The Cat Adoption Team is where our buddy George came from. They always have a variety of cats and kittens to choose from and it’s always great to adopt from a shelter. They also have a thrift store at 3848 SW Scholls Ferry Road, with proceeds going to benefit the shelter. Buy some new cookie sheets there, or donate your old crystal wine glasses.

The Pixie Project is also a great place to look for a new cat friend. They have a sweet George looking for a home right now, too. Maybe you need to take him home this week?

Meet George the Cat

Meet George, the new cat in charge at Panda With Cookie headquarters! We adopted him just two weeks ago from the Cat Adoption Team in Portland, Oregon. George’s likes include food, carrying shoes to the bed in the middle of the night, and slowly expanding and stretching during the night to take over a good one third of the bed. His dislikes include not having food, being told to get off the work table, and not having food.

George is clearly a thinking cat, pondering deep thoughts about the Fibonacci sequence and the Pythagorean theorem. Just out of view here is his notebook and pen where he works mightily at unraveling the tangled math equations that will result in a)opening the closet door, b)pulling out the food bag, and c)getting into the food bag for a 3 am bacchanalia.

He’ll be making many appearances here on the new blog and you can follow us over on Instagram to see what he gets up to on a daily basis.
