My own web site, helping animals, and a mini-adventure.

My adventures have become popular, so Bob decided to give me my own web site! My site is now at www.LighthouseKitty.com. We are going to make some changes over time, but for now the site is preety much the same as it was, with the addition of a letters and photos area.

I have donated money to help the animals threatened by the recent hurricane and floods in the Gulf Coast region. Several groups are working there -- I donated to Noah's Wish, a very organized group that specializes in animal rescue in disaster situations. You can read more about them, make a donation, or learn how you can volunteer, at http://www.noahswish.org/.

Last Monday, I went on a mini-adventure to Gardiner County Park in Bay Shore, across the street from Sagtikos Manor. Sagtikos Manor was owned by several famous Long Island people, including the Gardiner family. When President George Washington toured Long Island, he stayed at Sagtikos Manor one night. But we didn't visit the manor, we visited the park across the street, which used to be part of the manor property.

Gardiner County Park is one of the few parks in our area where pets are allowed. There were lots of dogs there. I saw, among others, a beagle (like Shiloh) and a greyhound that used to be a race dog. I hissed at both -- I'm more of a people person.

I got to play in the grass, which made me purr, and ride in the carrier down to the Great South Bay. At the end of the trail (it ends at the bay), you can see the Fire Island Lighthouse. I haven't been to that lighthouse yet, but Bob says I can go there this Fall.

The park is very nice for pets, although the number of dogs could make it scary for kitties. If you have a dog and live in Suffolk County, you should visit it. Even if you don't have a dog, it is a nice place to visit. You may even see me, or Shiloh, there!

I should have a couple more adventures, and some big news, this Fall. So keep an eye on my new web site!
