I Was Featured In A Computer Repair Commercial

I know it’s been a while since I last put my paws to the keyboard but I’ve been a very busy cat lately. Recently, I was featured in a commercial for my Daddy’s computer repair company Panther TEK. I didn’t have to do much except rest comfortably. The video was about keeping us cats at home instead of our humans locking us in a hot car.

It seems a lot of humans are taking us 4-legged creatures with them in the car and then leaving us, so Daddy decided it was time to do a commercial that tries to convince them that this is a really bad idea. Here is the video that we did and we hope all of you cats will take this same message to your humans. Thank you.

Panther TEK Talks About Animal Safety

April Fool’s Day At The Station

It’s been a while since I’ve posted to this blog but today was business as usual at the radio station. Daddy was on the air and we got a call from a feline fan in Boston making a song request. We don’t usually get calls like that very often. The morning show was pretty fun though. Isis wasn’t around to oversee things which left me in charge. We pretty much avoided April Fool’s Day so everything went smoothly.

Tomorrow is Daddy’s birthday and we’re getting ready for it. Today he spent the day at home so Isis and I allowed him to order any gift he wanted, so I think we’ll be getting some nice stuff arriving at the station next week. We’re also preparing for the Cats Against Cruelty broadcast which will air later this month.

Speaking out against animal cruelty is important and just like last year it’s a 24 hour live broadcast. Hopefully, we’ll have some great animal rescue groups coming into studio to be a part of the show. I think it’ll be tough for Daddy to stay awake late at night but Isis and I will help him get through it.

The station has also added it’s own Facebook page so we can be more interactive with our listeners. I’ve seen Daddy typing away on it and I think it’s a cool page. I think all of my fellow cats will like it as well.

Happy Thanksgiving & Don’t Forget Us Cats

It’s been quite a while since I put my paws to the keyboard to type on this blog, so I thought I’d wish my fellow cats out there a Happy Thanksgiving! Isis and I are already expecting get our fair share of the turkey which is a rare treat for us. I’m already making sure our human servant will remember to give us our cat sized portions.

Daddy has been busy with his computer repair business and says that Panther TEK will be open part of the day tomorrow in case there are any emergencies. He’s also preparing for what the humans call Black Friday where businesses will have special prices on stuff to entice other humans to spend money. Daddy says he’ll be running a good computer repair special and calling Friday, Black Cat Friday. I guess Isis had an influence on his renaming it.

We’re all working hard to collect cat food, cat litter and other items for our annual Holiday Drive For The Felines. It’s getting tough to get the humans to help us out on that. Surely, we cats are important enough to help? Our dad says that it’s often difficult for a lot of humans to think of us cats when it comes to the holiday season. So many have ended up at shelters these days because of the humans fear of the economy.

Well, it’s time to get a little rest now but I’ll be thinking of all my fellow cats out there while munching on some turkey treats. Hopefully, we’ll get a lot of help with the Holiday Drive For The Felines so the cats that need a meal will get one. This Thanksgiving has reminded me that I’m thankful to have a place to live and a human that loves and cares for me. I’m also thankful to have a sister like Isis to play with and hang out with me. I think she knows that already.
