I just made my schedule for May, and let me tell you, I am going to be so busy. Just in one week I will have two nursing home visits and two library visits. Also, some of our across the street neighbors are going to come to the reading program.

Today I went to my nursing home visit in the morning and of course saw my favorite friend R.A. She said that I am her favorite and she wants to keep me forever. Everyone was very happy to see me. I did not decide to try to hunt the birds either today, so I got to stay the whole hour. My other friend told me that she has my photo hanging up in her room, and also my sister Veronica's photo. They really like me there. Right now I am just relaxing.

Today I am going to focus on another topic. Therapy for the earth. I think everyone should try very hard to reduce their use of plastic bags, because if you don't, there will be scarey Bag Monsters! Here is what I am talking about. Yesterday we had a visit from a Bag Monster and I did not like it. The Bag Monster is made of 500 plastic bags, which is the average the American uses in one year. It is very bad for the earth. I am a therapy cat and I give earth therapy too - so I am telling you not to use plastic bags anymore! Instead you should use re-usable bags at the grocery store. Do you use reusable bags? I hope so. If not, I think you should.

Now for the funny part. That Bag Monster was really my mommie! That is so funny. She gave a presentation at the City Council meeting yesterday because she is working on an ordinance to remove plastic bag use. The mayor thought it was hi-larious and she is meeting the city councilman to discuss the legislation plans. She is going to be on TV next week to explain about reducing plastic waste. I will probably watch it, even though it is going to be at 6 in the AM. But I am a kitty so I am awake then. Of course my mommie is not as famous as me yet since this is just her first time on TV without me.

Even though it is April it snowed today. I thought it was very strange.

But here is something else really strange - I am glowing! And just look at my fabulous tail.

Also, look at the phone I use to make important phone calls. It is pink and says Hello Kitty. I am the only boy in my family so I have pink everything - including my car seat, my blanket, and the bed sheets! That's okay though because I love my mommy and my sister.
