History of Global Cat Day

Global Cat Day confirms one thing — we have loved our cats since the beginning of time — or close to it. In fact, the Ancient Egyptians were the first civilization to harness the glory of the feline. Nearly 4,000 years ago, they domesticated our four-legged friends by keeping them near food stores. (This helped control vermin and other pests.) Cats quickly earned a reputation as great hunters, and later, Egyptians worshipped them as gods. Nothing much has changed since the old days.

An advocacy group known as Alley Cat Allies, along with millions of supporters, will observe Global Cat Day with a commitment to save cats from being killed.

“The Global Cat Day Pledge includes the fundamental principle that all cats have the right to live their lives, and it guides everything we do to protect cats,” says Allies founder and president Becky Robinson. “We stand for humane, non-lethal programs for cats, and those who join us can take action to stop cats from being killed.”

Robinson’s asking everyone who values the lives of cats to sign the Alley Cat Allies’ Global Cat Day Pledge online.

The organization, which promotes humane treatment of all cats, reports that millions of cats and kittens are in life-threatening danger. That’s because felines are killed more than any other animal in shelters across the nation.

Global Cat Day demands that community leaders abolish policies that result in the killing of cats; equip communities with lifesaving, humane policies like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR); and change any policies that threaten cats’ health and safety.

TNR is the mainstream approach in which cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped and returned to the outdoor homes where they live and thrive. As sound public policy, TNR reduces shelter intake, “euthanasia” and calls to animal services, which saves taxpayer dollars.

Global Cat Day timeline

• 7500 BC

Cats and humans unite

Evidence of the close relationship between cats and humans goes back about 9,500 years. A Neolithic grave excavated in Cyprus contains the skeletons of both a human and a cat.

• 1950s

Cats come indoors

Cats roam U.S. neighborhoods freely — before the invention of and marketing of clay litter. However it wasn’t until the 1960s that litter boxes really caught on. After that, we grew to love them as indoor pets, but their outdoor survival skills still remain.

• 1990

The original cat ladies

Becky Robinson and a friend discover an alley with 56 feral cats in the Washington, DC neighborhood of Adams Morgan. With the help of the cats’ caregivers, they humanely trapped the cats, had them neutered, and returned them to their outdoor homes. Later, out of concern for cats routinely killed by animal control agencies and shelters, Robinson begins Alley Cat Allies.

• 2001

The world has its first Feral Cat Day

The first Feral Cat Day (now known as Global Cat Day) got underway. Organized by Alley Cat Allies, the goal was to strengthen support for humane policies to protect cats worldwide.

• 2015

Cats go viral

The number of cat videos on YouTube tops 2 million — with the average views hovering around 12,000. — higher than any other category of YouTube content. Cats make up 16% of views in YouTube's "Pets & Animals" category, compared to dogs' 23%

• 2016

Only the name changes

Alley Cat Allies rebranded Feral Cat Day as Global Cat Day. This change came about, according to Alley Cat Allies, because "it was time for our annual event to reflect what’s been true all along: We inspire and share information with cat advocates around the world."

THE GUNNISON POLICE

DEPARTMENT has received reports recently of an employment scam. An individual has been contacting local cleaning companies and requesting their services. The caller will schedule a future date to have their residence cleaned and then send a check for payment. The check will be for an amount larger than the cleaning company requested for their services. The caller will ask the cleaning company to forward

the extra amount to individuals the caller owes money to through electronic apps like Venmo, Zell, and Cash app. After the extra money has been forwarded to others, the caller will terminate the scheduled home cleaning and request their money back through the same electronic money exchange application. The check deposited by the cleaning company will eventually be identified as fraudulent / a forgery by the bank, and the cleaning company will have had the amount of the check stolen from them. Do not fall victim to this scam. Receiving a check for more than was agreed upon with the request to forward the money to others is a common theft technique used by scammers. There have also been reports of people receiving email messages threatening to provide embarrassing and intimate photos of the individuals to their family and friends if they do not provide the scammer with $2,000 in bitcoin. These email messages can be very believable because they often contain specific personal information about the individual receiving the threatening email message, to include their address and a Google earth photo of their residence. This is a scam. Do not fall victim to blackmail demands

for money. If you have been a victim of these scams or have questions, please contact the Gunnison Police Department (970)641-8201.

GFALL AUCTION: Oct. 19 from 5 - 8 p.m. at the Elks Lodge. Tickets are $25 for ages 18+. $20 for students through college. $10 for kids 5 - 11 and 4 and under are free.

SUDOKU

HERE’S

HOW IT WORKS

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
