Happy Tuesday everyone! Congratulations to Lone Star Cats for correctly identifying the costume yesterday as an OREO. Good job! A lot of you have good guesses too. Today is Tortie Tuesday and Medical Day ,I want to discuss mammary tumors being that it is breast cancer awareness month.
I know other bloggers have been doing this as well. Fur Everywhere did a fantastic, thorough post: http://fureverywhere.blogspot.com/2014/10/feline-mammary-cancer.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FurEverywhere+%28Fur+Everywhere%29 .
I am a big fan of spay/neuter for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons I feel all females should be spayed is to reduce the chances of mammary cancer. It is such a simple thing to do for our cats and there are so many reduced cost clinics , some are even free. I always post on my personal Facebook to spread the word for local clinics. I even volunteer to deliver and pick up the cats for people.
For Tortie Tuesday, here is Penny is her costume last year: 
She was a Hershey’s Kiss- I wrapped her in aluminum foil and made a Hershey’s kiss label with white ribbon.
That was a furry cute costume, mommy LOVES chocolate!
We were very glad to see so many people talking about mammary cancer. Survival odds are NOT good for that, so prevention is key.
I agree, prevention is key as with so many cancers. Penny is glad you liked her costume.
You precious baby. You remind mommy of her baby Admiral, a Tortie
Penny is a sweetie, I am sure your mom misses Admiral. I am glad you are feeling better Katie.
Spay/neuter is the key to a lot of major issues with us kitties. Thanks for spreading the word. Clever costume!
Concats to the Lone Star Cats!! Woo hoo we have smart kitties around here! Penny you sure are cute as a Hershey kiss.
Yes, we sure do. Penny says thank you.

We are glad we were too late ta guess about the costume yesserday. Cuz when we saw it today, we thought “skunk”. MOL!
Someone else guessed skunk too, so that wasn’t a bad guess.
How cool that you volunteer to deliver and pick up cats for people. That’s a great way to give back. Penny, you look super cute as a Hershey’s kiss!!
Thank you, I can’t foster because I would never want to give up any kitties I take in so I do this instead. Penny says thank you.
I just love torties. …beautiful. The costume is hilarious! I can’t put costumes on my cats, they won’t have it!
Thankk you- some of mine won’t let me either so I just use props next to them.
Penny is a cute Hershey’s Kiss…the kind with the chocolate and caramel all swirled together.
Yes, exactly- thank you.
That is so fantastic of you to help transport kitties for spay/neuter, we are such a proponent of it too for so many reasons, cancer being a big one! Love the costume!!!!

E-mailed our addy to you! Thanks so much!!!
Thank you. I will pop your prizes in the mail today- congratulations!
MOL, Penny looks about as happy to be wrapped in tinfoil as Binga would be! You are so right about spaying us girl kitties – I wear my spay surgery scar (now mostly hidden by fur) proudly.
Penny was not thrilled, I was lucky to get the photo before she bolted. Spay/neuter should be a law unless you are a registered breeder. I am happy you are setting such a good example Summer.
We agree, spay and neuter is impawtant, it helps kitty girls and feral cats, for different reasons ! Concatulations to Lone Star Cats ! Purrs
Thank you 🙂
Great job Lone Star Cats!!!
