Quotation of the Day for December 19, 2011
"Statistics show cats are significantly less likely to receive medical services than dogs, less likely to have pet insurance, and have only a one in four chance of finding a permanent home after landing in a shelter.
"So that animosity doesn't kill the cat, marketing efforts are afoot to rebrand felines as more glam than granny.
"Veterinarians, scholars, non-profit and animal-welfare organizations have joined forces for the initiative, which aims to supplant such dubious tropes as 'crazy cat lady' with the more appealing 'catalysta.'"
- Misty Harris, from Animal advocates fight against cats' negative image
