$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

FRIDAY CATBLOGGING….Last week, you’ll remember, I told you that I bought a cat-shaped pod for my mother’s new kittens, but when I got it home both of my cats immediately claimed it. So here they are. As you can see, it’s mostly Domino who curls up in their latest new toy, but occasionally Inkblot eyes it covetously (the tenth commandment doesn’t apply to cats). No fights yet, though.

In other news, Alex Massie insists that chicken-blogging will be the new sensation of 2009. Perhaps in socialist hellholes with national health services that will be true. But here in the land of the free? Please.
