Mimsey the MTM Kitty Cat



Mimsey the MTM Kitty Cat

Little orange kitty cat seen on the closing logo of the MTM (Mary Tyler
Moore) TV Productions.

A parody of the Leo the Lion mascot, this "MTM" kitty concluded each
episode with a sweet but timid "Meow."

Mimsey was rescued from a local animal shelter and became the kitten
that would roar. After her foray into show business, the kitten
lived the remainder of its life in the San Fernando Valley home
of an MTM staffer."

Mimsey was born in 1968 and died in 1988. The Mimsey logo has appeared
at the end of many MTM productions and with a number of variations.
On episode # 71 of the original series Mary Tyler Moore appeared in place
of the MTM Kitty, and mouthed the words "Th-th-th-that's all folks!"



The Aristocats



The Aristocats

(1970)is a Disney animated film by director Wolfgang Reitherman.

The plot of the movie is quite simple. The cats live in a Parisian mansion
owned by Madame Adelaide Bonfamille (voice of Hermione Baddeley).
The cats try to become sophisticated aristocrats like their owner, so
they study painting, piano, and singing. Madame Adelaide Bonfamille's

butler Edgar (voice of Roddy Maude-Roxey) thinks he will inherit
when the old woman dies, but then he comes to believe that she has
left everything to her cats, so he abducts the cats and takes them far
away where they can never be able to return.

Once far away in the country they are befriended by a smart alley cat
named Thomas O'Malley (voice of Phil Harris). They are also aided
by a host of other animals including, two redneck dogs named Lafayette
and Napoleon, two silly geese named Abigail Gabble and Amelia Gabble
and a sweet little mouse named Roquefort.

The film is a musical, but the numbers, while pleasant enough, are
not at all memorable. The dialog has few good lines and these
typically come from the sage O'Malley. He is down on humans as a
species reflecting, "Humans don't really worry too much about
their pets.



Puss In Boots



Puss In Boots

Charles Perrault first published his collection of classic French
folk tales 300 years ago, including "Cinderella,"
"Sleeping Beauty," and Puss In Boots.

In the story of Puss In Boots, a miller dies and leaves one of his sons
nothing but the cat. This cat turns out to be quite clever and earns the
favor of the King for his master. The cat also obtains land and a castle

for his master and gives him the title of the Marquis of Carabas.

The King becomes so impressed by the Marquis that he offers his
daughter's hand in marriage, and the simple miller's son becomes a prince.

What Should You Feed Your Cat?
By: Alfred

Hey guys, I guess you could say I'm an expert when it comes to eating!
I do it every day, and I know what Tastes Good and what is Good For Me!

Let's get a little science lesson in here:

You know that cats are carnivores, meaning they are meat eaters. They
don't have the ability to manufacture proteins in their liver as dogs
and humans do, thus they have to get their proteins from food.

Complete proteins come from meat sources. Incomplete proteins come
from grains. Incomplete proteins do not have all the amino acids present
required to form what we call a complete protein.

Also you will want to consider the presence of harsh chemical
preservatives that are in some foods, such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin.
All have been proven to play a role in various degenerative diseases
such as kidney and liver disease, and cancer.

Now, what do you believe would be better for your little kitten, a food
that has a cancer causing agent, or a food that has all natural preservatives?


Our suggestion then is to look for a cat food that has at least
2 to 3 meat sources of proteins to every one grain source.

When your kitty goes out for a hunt, does he bring back an ear of corn,
or mice and rodents?

Also look for a food that has all natural preservatives instead
of toxic chemicals.

Our recommended food  is Life's Abundance Premium Health Food For Cats

It is a 100% complete and balanced formula that is safe for your cat
or kitten, and will supply them with the nutrients they need.

Help your precious kitty live the Longest and Healthiest Life Possible.....
