Susan says:

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…

(LOONYFACE)

…drives them…

(“HI MISTER!”)

…CRAZY.

(LOONYFACE)

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

“HI MISTER!”

::BITE::

“No, guys, seriously! Just watch it! It keeps MOVING!”

They’re pretty fascinated by him.

Especially the girls.

Everett tries to sneak up on the tail.

“GOT IT!”

Now Lucy’s got it.

Molly goes in for the sniff.

Everett’s got the tail now…

..and Jake’s had about enough of the whippersnappers messing with his tail. “Sorry, Mister! I’m sorry!”

Which causes Sally to take offense.

Everett doesn’t easily learn his lesson.

And Sally decides the safest place from which to watch Jake is under the dresser.

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?
