Got distracted by a list of weird history facts. For all my cat lovers out there:
After Pope Gregory IX associated cats with devil worship, cats throughout Europe were exterminated in droves. This sudden lack of cats led to the spread of disease because infected rats ran free. The most devastating of these diseases, the Bubonic Plague, killed 100 million people.
Cats could have saved 100 million people!

This is like Mao convincing everyone to kill the sparrows in China, which lead to mass famine when the locusts the sparrows had been eating ate all the crops

I need to get on facebook and be a better friend. I am social (and outgoing) - but I don't 'keep in touch'.
I'm looking for references from my past jobs - shoot, the companies don't exist anymore (bought out) or just have a toll free line. My former coworkers....one relapsed, another owes me 600 and doesn't quite answer the phone when I call (surprise! it's your debt collector!).

This just sucks...........you'd think I was a bad employee. (Everyone pretty much liked me.............)

Hello everyone, good morning!

I'm sorry for this random post not involving turking, but I just found a box with a litter of kittens, apparently abandoned. I'm feeling bad for them because they've been crying for a while now. I just don't have any clue as to how I should proceed since I don't have any experience dealing with cats so young(less than a day old).

Do any of you have any tips or pieces of advice?

Might want to see if there are any cat rescues in your area that can come get them, especially if you haven't seen the mother

I don't know much about it but we have some friends that foster kittens, and I know they sell kitten formula and syringe/bottle things at most pet stores or even walmart - shouldn't be too expensive. And try contacting a shelter!

Please get a bottle and kitty formula and feed them ASAP. You will need to wipe their butts too. Google should have lots of resources.

I just read a story the other day about a large city in the US, forget which one, that has brought in TNR'd cats because they are overrun with mice. They said they realied cats kill more than the supposed song birds. I thought Yeah, just dawned on you, huh?
