The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Periwinkle sat in front of the Teleportation Tunnel and groomed her furs as she waited for the arrival of her fiance, Stinky.  She didn't have to wait too long before the Tunnel started to shake and, with a WOOOSH, he flew out into her waiting paws.  Seeing Stinky always made her heart race with joy and they both felt the excitement of being together again.  They spent time whisker kissing and paw patting and then Stinky asked what they would be doing.   Periwinkle said they were doing something they had done before but was super impawtent.  "We're going to remind our readers about World Spay Day" she said.

Stinky said he didn't mind repeating something so impawtent.  "I remember what you told me last time, World Spay Day was launched in 1995, World Spay Day is an annual campaign that aims to encourage people to save animal lives by spaying and neutering companion animals and feral cats. World Spay Day itself is celebrated annually on the fourth Tuesday in February. Still, the event, no matter how big or small, can take place anytime throughout February, which is recognized as Spay/Neuter Awareness Month."  Periwinkle was impurressed that he remembered so much about the event and told him so.  Always modest, Stinky blushed but was pleased with the compliment.   Both tabbies gasped when they saw how many kittens could be born from one unspayed cat.

Stinky told Periwinkle that all the Kitties Blue were spayed or neutered.  Periwinkle said her fusibs Noelle and Reesie were too.  Periwinkle said, "Sadly, many kitties are euthanized because they can't find homes."

Stinky added, "There are a lot of other reasons to Spay and Neuter too.  I found a chart that explains some of the reasons.

Both tabbies agreed that spaying and neutering helps there be fewer animals without homes and keeps them safe and happy.

"So", Stinky said, "World Spay Day is about reminding everyone to help animals by making sure there are enough loving homes for them and that they stay healthy! World Spay Day is celebrated all over the world, from the United States to countries in Europe, Asia, and beyond! Many animal organizations offer free or low-cost spay/neuter services on this day."  Periwinkle added, "World Spay Day also encourages people to adopt pets from shelters."

Stinky said, "I'm glad we took our time today to share this information.  If we save even one life, it's worth it."  Periwinkle agreed and took Stinky by the paw and gave him a big whisker kiss.  "I'm so glad you agree with me," she said.  "Let's go outside and have a snack before you have to leave,"  Stinky said he agreed since his tummy was rumbling.

Stinky enjoyed the warm weather since it was still cold at his house.  They savored their snack and then spent some time visiting with Periwinkle's Mom and fursibs.  They also snuggled and whisker kissed for a bit.  Soon it was time for Stinky to re-enter the Teleportation Tunnel to go home.  With a WOOSH, he was on his way home.  Periwinkle decided to find a sun spot and take a nap.
