Minn-Kota PAAWS, a place I volunteer at when I visit friends in Fargo, is up for a $25,000 grant from Markham Vineyards, which it could win if enough people vote for it (it’s a finalist). Think how many more feral cats and pets belonging to low income people could be helped. Please help spread the word and/or go register to vote and continue to do so once every day until 10/3/11 (or as many times as you can).

It’s a great place all staffed and run by volunteers wanting to minimize the number of unwanted cats.

Loony Jake visits the Peppers.

That tail…

…drives them…

2011-08-31 (8)
(“HI MISTER!”)

2011-08-31 (10)
…CRAZY.

Jake sits there and gently waggles his tail back and forth, and the Peppers cannot take their eyes off it.

2011-08-31 (13)
“HI MISTER!”

2011-08-31 (14)
::BITE::

2011-08-31 (15)
“No, guys, seriously! Just watch it! It keeps MOVING!”

2011-08-31 (16)
They’re pretty fascinated by him.

2011-08-31 (18)
Especially the girls.

2011-08-31 (19)
Everett tries to sneak up on the tail.

2011-08-31 (20)
“GOT IT!”

2011-08-31 (21)
Now Lucy’s got it.

2011-08-31 (22)
Molly goes in for the sniff.

2011-08-31 (24)
Everett’s got the tail now…

2011-08-31 (23)
..and Jake’s had about enough of the whippersnappers messing with his tail. “Sorry, Mister! I’m sorry!”

2011-08-31 (25)
Which causes Sally to take offense.

2011-08-31 (26)
Everett doesn’t easily learn his lesson.

2011-08-31 (27)
And Sally decides the safest place from which to watch Jake is under the dresser.

2011-08-31 (28)
Jake heads over to check out the food, but is distracted by a reflection on the wall.

Really, it’s a far cry from their initial reaction to him. Those pictures above were actually taken a week ago, before I moved them up to the foster room. Now when I let Jake in, they just follow him around and watch him. I think they have a collective crush on Jake – and really, who can blame them?
