Clara is only two years old and she's super friendly. Look at her little face. She needs a home. You need something to break up the monotony of solitary Lean Cuisine dinners and "Wheel of Fortune" every night. See how easy this is? Photo: Seattle Humane Society
If you've been suppressing your desire to have a cat in order to avoid "crazy cat lady" branding, this month it's time to give in. June is Adopt-a-Cat Month and several shelters around town are making it temptingly easy for you to shed your sterile no-pets persona and fulfill your true destiny as a kitten cuddler. Here’s a roundup of what some local shelters are doing to promote cat adoption this month.
Seattle Humane Society: This month adoption fees are waived on all cats age one-year and older with the donation of cat food to the Pet Food Bank. The shelter is teeming with affectionate friends in need of forever homes! Your donation will go to help the cats of poor elderly people struggling to feed to their companions.
Seattle Animal Shelter: There are always loads of friendly cats to meet at Seattle Animal Shelter. Spy on some now with the kitty cam!

Cats are too polite to toot their own horns, so you probably didn’t know that they beat dogs as the number one pet in the U.S. There are 81 million owned cats in the United States. That means they outnumber dogs as pets by 10 million. This fact comes from the Catalyst Council. See what else you don’t know about America’s top pet!
Since we're on the topic of feline superiority, did you know that cats are just as trainable as dogs, extremely smart and clean – and they have been proven to lower your blood pressure and fight depression? Kind of makes you wonder what you’ve been waiting for ...oh right, your silly soul-crushing vanity. Well, it doesn’t say anywhere that you have to start wearing oversized bedazzled cat sweatshirts and store partially used hankies in the sleeves just because you own a cat or two. Get over yourself and help a kitty help you!
