I received this email today and thought I’d share it with all other Aussie cat lovers out there.

The Australian love affair with cats

This Australia Day, we’re looking at a national phenomena; our love affair with cats. We have more pets per capita than any where else in the world and 26% of homes have a cat. How did we develop such a strong attraction to cats?

It all started with a man called Matthew Flinders. The first man to circumnavigate our great southern land, he went everywhere with a cat called Trim. They even went to jail together! [The French locked them up during the Napoleonic Wars.] To see more click here

Early settlers were keen to bring as much of England to their new home Australia as possible. Along with oak trees and rabbits, cats were an important part of this connection with the mother country.

Since then, cats have increasingly become important members of Australian families. While dogs provide us with unconditional love, cats offer something else. They will love you absolutely but they are also their own individual, with a character that can be quirky, funny and often very stubborn. At the end of the day, it’s their strength of character that wins the hearts and minds of even the toughest people. As one famous vet said, “Cats teach you to be humble and compassionate”.

So on this Australia Day, let’s raise our glasses to our cats: may they live long happy lives and continue to be a part of our families for many years to come.

They DESPERATELY need volunteers to help set up and dismantle tents, do registrations, sell merchandise, walk around with donation tins, do face painting, spray ‘tattoos’ on dogs and lots more! They’re also after any spare marquees or if you could put your ute or van to good use to help ferry supplies from the AWL to the event.
