Snow Storm Community Re-
sources Webpage to provide
Lane County residents with
snow storm-related updates

community resources at www.
lanecounty.org/news/whats-

the non-emergency call center

last week to help answer resi-
dents’ needs while alleviating
the large volume of calls com-
ing into local dispatch centers.
The site includes weather
and power updates; road clo-
sure information including
access routes and detours; and
information on shelters and
warming centers.
Additional resources are also
available on the site to help
Lane County residents with
specific concerns such as wel-
fare checks, animal resources,
and health and medical re-
sources.

to Tillamook PUD and Forest
Grove PUD for helping EPUD

Electric worked hard also for
those on their lines. While
there are trees down, sheds,
barns and parts of out build-
ings, to my knowledge every-
one is safe.

ular time of 7 p.m. Its next

23, with dinner at 5:30 p.m.
No one was able to win the
progressive blackout amount
in February, so it grew a little
more.
• Rural Art movie night is

p.m. Their delicious home-
made soups will be available.
This is the last movie for the

Cats’ Life Lessons
E
mily and her partner, Michael, live on a low income.
He uses a wheelchair and they live in one of the poor-
est neighborhoods in the country — which is also
one of the coldest. Some may call it “a hard life” but Emily
and Michael consider themselves two of the luckiest people
who describe their lives as “great.” They accomplish this by
helping others and with the love of their feline family.
“We love our three cats Benji, Yukie and Henry,” said Em-
ily. “They always come first and if we have to go without
in order to provide for them, then we are happy to do so.
When the weather is minus 40 degrees outside, our home
feels cozy because of our wonderful cats. We both have ex-
perienced anxiety and depression and our cats’ purring and
wild-antic therapy helps us cope.”
Emily’s cat, Benji, has taught her how tolive life to its fullest.

Their cats are outgoing-cuddly Benji, a 1-year-old short-
black furred fearless feline whose never met a cat he didn’t
like; Henry is a grumpy five-year-old, long-haired tux-
edo who maintains an aloofness wrapped in a loveable
purr-sonality; and sweet four-month-old white-furred Yuki
is named for the Japenese word “snow.”
“Being the only female, she is also the loudest and most
vocal of the three always having to have an opinion on ev-
erything!” laughed Emily.
Life is never dull with cats. Often, all three cats take off
and gallop around their home, “like horses chasing each
other,” said Emily. One day as she was unpacking groceries
and a feather-wand cat toy, Benji ran over, grabbed the toy
and ran off with it before she could get it out of the pack-
aging.
No one can out-think like a cat, and the couple is trying
to figure out why — with five cat-climbing trees, three cat
beds and an extra bed in the guest room — why Benji purr-
furs sleeping on their damp bathroom mat? Then on the
other hand, she will find one, two or three cats asleep in the
laundry fresh out of the dryer before she has a chance to
put it away.
As for Benji … well, no one can predict his next move;
like the time he was asleep on the bed, rolled over on his
back and purr-omplty fell off. He is a character who, when
displeased, makes groaning noises like a human.
Yuki loves her big brother, Benji, and copies his every ac-
tion — even to sleeping on the damp bath mat.
Emily is a strong proponent for neutering and spaying.
She volunteers for an organization that helps people in her
town have their cat fixed if they can’t afford it.
“We go as a team since we live in the inner city. I load and
unload the cats for the drive. After the cat is ‘fixed’ at the
Humane Shelter, it is then returned it to its owner because
most of our cat’s parents don’t have a car,” said Emily, who
has always been an avid cat lover who enjoys the lessons
cats teach. “Cats spontaneously enjoy life and being pres-
ent in moment. Not to mention, that they take more naps!
Their example, lessons, love and antics help lift our depres-
sion and anxiety making our lives richer and humorous.”
Emily said she often prefers their company to that of peo-
ple. “A cat never says anything to hurt your feelings or en-
gages in upsetting political debates,” she said. “Cats enjoy
life as it comes. They teach us that it is okay sometimes to be
non-productive. To just exist; to just be. In this fast-paced,
materialistic world, the lesson to just be is both indispens-
able and life affirming.
“Be in the moment. Be a cat.”
TIPS:
• Cats love homemade toys; empty toilet paper rolls, box-
es, twine with a straw at both ends to prevent ingesting it.
Tie 1/3 of a straw length onto each end of the twine with
large knots and drag on the floor. Cats love the mouse like
action and noise.
• Unbelievable! Pentobarbital found in pet food. There
are dozens of pet food recalls! Is your pet ill? Double check
the FDA’s webpage (www.FDA.gov) for information.
Medical, vision and fl exible spending plans welcome.
