If you merge South Park with Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer it might look something like this. This animation is based on the children’s book, The Cat Who Wouldn’t Come Inside, written and illustrated by Cynthia von Buhler. For more information on the book visit Come Inside Kitty Website

The website is very cool, and I’ll be taking a look at the book!

This just made me go “awwweeee” how cute Kittens can sleep anywhere!

- a picture book that will appeal to
children and cat lovers alike.
Please support a worthy cause by adding this beautifully illustrated
book to your children’s Christmas stocking.

At the age of 15, Manchester cat Samson scooped a bronze medal and a
silver bowl award in an international competition to find the
world’s cutest pet, beating off competition from scores of puppies,
kittens and other cuddly cuties. Now he is also the star of a
bright and fun children’s picture book.

The fictional picture book, which has been created and illustrated
by Samson’s owner Angela Cater, follows the adventures of a farm cat
who leaves his home to take up a new life as Sailor Sam on board a
ship - with hilarious consequences.

Angela, also drafted friends and family to help out with the book
using her cousins and their children as inspiration for
illustrations of sailors and other characters.

The book proved extremely popular with the pupils at the independent
girls’ school where Angela works as School Secretary. She gave
readings to the prep school children and Samson made his first
public appearance there.

The book was initially released through a `self-publishing’ company,
but after numerous problems, Angela took the step of buying a batch
of ISBN numbers and reissuing the book herself, in the true sense of
self-publishing. Once Angela has recovered the costs of self-
publishing the book she will donate a percentage of all proceeds to
Riverhaven Elderly Cat Welfare in Devon, which cares for abandoned
elderly and disabled cats for the rest of their natural lives.
Despite being recently widowed and then diagnosed with breast
cancer, the owner, Jackie Southern, is dedicated to caring for up to
60 golden oldies.

Everyone who buys a book directly from the Sailor Sam website will
receive a complimentary copy of Samson’s award winning photograph
and a Sailor Sam colouring sheet. The price is just £8.50,
inclusive of postage to anywhere in the world and can be ordered by
Visa/Mastercard from http://www.freewebs.com/acater All books are signed
and a special inscription can be included by request.

Testimonials
Daniel has taken right to the book and points out all the pictures
of the “cats” (saying this word), tells me about the other objects
he knows signs for, i.e. trees, birds, flowers, and dances when he
sees the picture of the cats doing the hula. Cute! Thank you for
sending it to us and writing and inscription for Daniel - Ellen

A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of a dog, cat, or other animal. The chips are about the size of a large grain of rice and are based on a passive RFID technology. Microchipping cats whether they go outdoors or not can help in ownership disputes if your cat get out of the house gets lost. Microchipping show cats is getting more popular also for identification reasons also.

Tattooing is another, older method for identifying animals. Tattoos can be difficult to find and won’t even be looked for on most cats. Once the fur grows back over the tatoo it isn’t easy to find.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.

An RFID tag is an object that can be stuck on or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.

Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal and can also be used for other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal.
