5 stars for you.
I can't wait to see the pics of our little kitten. Did she hiss at you? Did you tell the woman (Margaret?) you were with Protector? Is this enough questions???

Didn't run into her, as the actual "zoo" is maintained by the students of the Zoological Studies area attached Cat Tales.

Yep.
Before anyone goes gonzo about the movies, there are a couple things to point out:
1. I am not a cinematographer.
2. The "containment" of the animals at Cat Tales are the best they can afford, and placed as best as they can to give the animals the most space.
3. Cat Tales is less than 1 acre in size...half of which is for the "containment" of the animals.
4. Cimarron is a claws scrapper that got taken by a spines scrapper...so she is still a little skittish.
5. The blonde haired woman in the video is one of the Zoological Studies students that is her fourth quarter of studies and I totally missed getting her name.
6. The only people that can get close to the animals (and they have bears and bear cubs there also) are the student handlers, the rest of us are kept back 9 to 10 feet. Which is why the photos I have are crappy, and the video jiggles.
And now for the VIDEOS!

Higher Quality Broadband
High Quality Large Movie for you to keep
And the only good quality photos I have are of the warning signs and the entrance sign. The warning signs were cute, so I thought I would share those.

Warning Number Two
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.

Any pics or videos of her is appreciated!

Well said, young man.
I especially like the "she's waiting for the server reset" narration!!!! LOL
Wow. Great Work!!!!!!
Nice work with the video. The cages are pretty small aren't they? Do they get to go anywhere else or are they in them 100% of the time.
How wonderful!
Thanks so much for doing that JanLee!
Wow! Cool! A video of Cimmie!
Thanks so much for taking time to do this! It's really good to see Cimmie doing well.
For the record the first warning sign is hilarious.

It's a great thing that's been done here.
My little Claws/SR scrapper. She's what? Lvl 50 now?

I have a lvl 33 on Tri but live on the west coast so wanted to join a wc server figuring the folks that are on it would be up when I am!
I read this thread and just about shed a tear or two.
I picked Protector and I have had the best experience so far. It seems that all the folks that play on Protector are just great.
Thanks for reposting this thread.
It's awesome and so is Janlee.
It's true that happiness comes from within, and it always wants to escape to fill the space outside. Janlee, you must have found some happiness to have positively touched so many of us. You are truly a philanthropic person and the world is damn lucky to have you in it.
Thanks from a Canadian who just found faith in humanity again.

Hey ya'll Protector pals, I work about 10 miles from Cat Tales and tomorrow I will swing by after work and see how our mascot is doing and plunk a months worth of feeding down for her. I will let ya'll know how she is doing with all the hot weather that is here now and more heat to come this weekend, forecasts of 100+ for the weekend.
I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.
I don't have a camera so I can't take pics of our mascot, which bums me out, unless I can get my boss to lend me her camera...hehehe lets hope and pray
Edit: well I get to use her camera tomorrow, I may not be able to upload some the pics till after she gets back from her camping trip but at least we will have some more current photos of our mascot.

I hate my truck, my front end is so out of alignment I couldn't make it up to see Cimmie, I was all over the road so I had to turn back. It was the first time I had the thing up to 55 I have just been tooling around town so I won't be able to get up there till next month after I get the front end aligned.

Don't make me seperate you two.
Has anyone had the chance to visit out favorite kitty since I dropped by?
I know "Man from AUNTIE" tried to get out there, but I haven't heard anything lately.
Come on people, it is getting close to winter up in the great Northwest, and the kitty needs blankets, water, munchies, Ish's leg, etc.
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.
Well I am on vacation next week and I plan on seeing her then...even if I have to walk up there, I am making it. I will give ya all a full report on how she is holding up. Right now I would say she needs water and ice, its been hot the past few weeks and the forecast indicates the same for the next week. Plus don't forget her mask with all the smoke from the forest fires , bloody stupid hikers.

don't forget to get lots of photos and videos of our girl
Well I won't have camera or video equipment so ya just need ro rely upon my descriptions. Of course this a excuse to get a digital camera.

Good Lord, buy a camera!!! We need fresh pics

BTW: Added another $100.00 to her fund...she needs some carpeting.
