Bonfim Festival (Festa do Bonfim)

There is a church in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, known as Our Lord of the Happy Ending (bonfim). Today during the Bonfim Festival, hundreds of Brazilian women dress in the traditional white dresses of colonial Bahia and form a procession to the church. The bahianas balance jars of water, scented with blossoms, on their heads. The washing of the steps at Bonfim Basilica on the second Thursday after Epiphany is the highlight of the festival. More...

Quote of the Day
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
But when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?

(1865-1936)

PET OF THE WEEK


MCFA pet of the Week 12-4-18

Karma (2 ½ year old -split-face tortie) and Sacho (2 year old Gray Tabby) came in from the same household due to an allergy issue (human). Both are very nice, indoor only, well socialized cats. Sacho is outgoing, and bounds out of the condo in search of adventure and affection. He loves to be petted and scratched. Karma is a bit more reserved but loves to be held in your lap and stroked and cuddled. Nothing but calm, sweet, and friendly behavior.
 
Daisy (Kimberli) was returned because her adopters are moving to a new facility that does not allow pets. They also surrendered a 4 lb. Chihuahua. She is an inside only kitty and is still sweet and reserved. It takes her a few minutes to warm up but last adopters treated her well and it shows. She likes chin scratches and head rubs. She is fine with small dogs (has not been exposed to larger dogs). Very quiet, a bit shy, and will blossom in a calm, less active household. She would do best in a home without small children.
 
Come in and meet these cats plus Dahlia,Teri, Cabaret, Dorie, Chloe 2, Jinkies, Casey, Vols and a “clowder” of adorable kittens!

Cat Tidbit: Researchers used owner surveys and an experiment to determine if cats might be left-pawed or right-pawed. For the survey, owners tracked which paw their cats used when stepping into a litter box or taking the first step down stairs. They also put treats inside a container and recorded which paw each cat used to get the treats. Although the results showed that cats overall aren’t biased toward one paw they did have preferences (73% used one paw more to reach for the treats, and 70% showed paw preference when taking the first step on stairs).
 
All animals adopted are spayed or neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations and testing, and are microchipped with registration. Cats are litter box trained. $40 adoption fee over 2 years old, $50 under 2 years old.
