Well, today I would like to mention Cat News Headlines .
It is a marvelous site for so many questions and answers about us kitties! Doug Hines is the creator and a lover of animals if ever there was one.
So that’s Tuesday’s tip. Let us know if you found it interesting, and we are doing this because we like Doug, no other reason!
As for mama and papa, they are SUPPOSED to be back two weeks from TODAY! Toussaint, Tutti Santi, All-Saints Day…
Bonne chance….
I am not feeling that THEY are as dependable as they LOOK, haha, leaving me here to bask in sunlight puddles, get snuggled, get fed properly, take my meds and have sweet easy jabs from sweet jabbers.
Wait a minute, that’s a great life, right? What am I thinking?
STAY AWAY, you two…I am in paradise ALONE with my sweet Sue.
Sigh…it’s a kitty’s life…
I’m going to check out that site!
It’s a very good site for kitties and animal-lovers and Mr Hines is a thorough researcher.
Always look at the bright side, LouLou, two weeks…say What?! 🙀Here comes a double Pawkiss from us especially…and only for you🐾😽💞
Merci for kisses and double ones at that! That Peachy and that Stippie are GOOD dancers.
Sounds like you’re being properly spoilt, Loulou. As you deserve.
Oh, I am so spoiled right now…
Two more weeks without your own pawrents sounds like a long time!
But yes, you have been left with wonderful helpers…you will miss Miss Sue when its time for her to leave.
I shall have to go and check out the Mews!
The Mews is a wonderful publication and so thoroughly researched.
Thank you for telling us about Cat News. I am sorry you have 2 more weeks to go to see your folks. XO
Hey, you and me, both. Or to be correct, you and I, both, but somehow the language is the language and that sounds funny, no?
We sent them a cease and desist order, on their blog page they were stealing our copyrighted content with the intent of making money from other peoples efforts.
OH, NO, THAT’S AWFUL. I THOUGHT THEY WERE GIVING THE BLOGS MORE PUBLICITY!!!! They put mine on the blog page and I didn’t mind because I don’t sell anything. Mama will ask M. Hines about this!!!!
Brian, I’m Doug Hines, publisher of CatNewsHeadlines.
You misunderstand my intent. I make no money whatsoever on my website. I have no paid advertising. Anything you see that you might interpret as advertising is page space I donate to websites, people, etc who are obviously presenting information or services to benefit cats.
This is a quote from my front page: “The purpose of this website is to positively affect the lives of cats worldwide by providing cat parents, cat guardians and cat caregivers with current cat news and educational information. In other words, this site is for you and your cats!”
In presenting outside work on my site, in this case blogs, I only mean to further the whole of the cat community. In other words, I want to do whatever I can to promote blogger’s work (for free) because I believe that all of our voices together combine to further strengthen, and ultimately benefit, the lives of cats worldwide.
That is my sole purpose – to benefit the lives of cats.
To repeat, in presenting a list of blogs, I am promoting individual bloggers and bringing attention to their work – all at no cost to them – and all at no financial benefit to me. At the very least, having your blog mentioned on another website gives you the benefit of a backlink, which is important to the Google search process.
So bloggers mentioned on my page get value. They get the value of visitor recognition, and they get the Google backlink value.
I invite you to reconsider your perspective. Not everyone in this world does what they do out of a quest for money. Some people work to make the world a better place without financial regard.
I present a 72-page, fact filled website – a cat news-aggregator – to hopefully somehow ultimately benefit cats everywhere. That is my sole purpose.
As a personal note… I am a senior living on a small fixed income, and I struggle to pay my bills and feed my cats. I sure could use the extra money advertising might bring to my site, but I turn advertisers away. I don’t want ‘interruptions’ on my site by paid advertisers.
I hope this long explanation aids you and others to understand my motivation. I just want to do whatever I can to help cats everywhere.
Most sincerely, – Doug Hines
This is an eloquent and articulate response, Mr Hines and we shall leave it here as it so clearly states what CatNewsHeadlines purpose is for kitties everywhere. MERCI.
