46,000 Knitted Mice Donated to Rescue Cats
The readers of Woman’s Weekly magazine have a long tradition of coming together through knitting and crocheting—always to provide comfort and joy for others.
Earlier this year, the magazine invited readers to create woolen mice for rescue cats living in shelters across the UK—and the response enor-mice.
Using the free pattern provided exclusively to subscribers, the volunteers began knitting and crocheting until thousands of parcels began arriving at their London headquarters.
The enrichment toys, which provide both comfort and stimulation, are now being distributed to thousands of kitties at over 300 cat rescue centres.
The volume received has been extraordinary,” said Nicola Murray, manager of the Northwest London Cat Centre.
“Enrichment items like these play a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of cats in our care, and we are extremely grateful for the thousands of knitted mice donated.”

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

“If you feel good,
keep going in the direction
of the reality you’re creating.
If you don’t feel good,
reflect upon your beliefs, and
and change them accordingly to the
reality you wish to create.”
