| The Cat Doctor CATERWAULER Volume 1, Number 2 187 Watson Rd., Dover, NH (603) 742-MEOW September 8, 2003 NAME THAT CONDO! A Contest to Celebrate the Cat Doctor's 2nd Anniversary! The Cat Doctor of Dover is celebrating our second anniversary by holding a contest to name our four cat townhouse condominiums. For those of your furry friends that haven't had the pleasure of staying with us, these are multiple level townhouses, with four-poster oak beds for your favorite felines. There are glass windows that look out on the bird- feeders, just to keep the comfortable critters entertained. The prizes for the four best names (judged by the entire Cat Doctor staff, and no bribes will be accepted!) are a weekend of your choosing for your cat(s) when you're leaving town. Entries have already been coming in, and to enter just submit your names on the form on the website's home page, www.catdoctordover.com. You may also take a virtual tour, and view the condos by clicking on the "Boarding Townhouses" link. Although the English teachers told us to "Always Avoid Alliteration," most of the entries (and this edition of the CATERWAULER) have been known to make that error. Some examples that have already been submitted are: Meow Motel Calico Condo The Hairball Hotel Siamese Suites Paws Pavilion According to our attorney, however, we'll be getting into a lot of trouble if we name anything the "Hairball Hilton(R)" or the "Meow Marriott(R)," so all of the entries will be also reviewed for any trademark violations or other illegal activity that will land us in the Pussy Penitentiary! "Shoe" Gets 30 Seconds of Fame on WMUR-TV! Shoe, the cat that owns Sara, our veterinary technician, got thirty seconds of air time on the New Hampshire Chronicle show that aired on WMUR- TV. Shoe is a certified cat therapist, and Sara has taken him to nursing homes in the area to help the residents. Sara got less air time than Shoe did, and Dr. Young only got 8 seconds of face time on the show (but isn't that the way it should be?). Andy Warhol said that everyone is famous for 15 seconds, and in the end it all averages out. If you would like to see the show, a tape of it is available at The Cat Doctor of Dover. The entire piece is about ten minutes long, and was shot on location at the New Hampshire Society For Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' new facility in Stratham. Stop by and say "hello," and see Shoe! |
