Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats talked about the new ARF dog Oliver and adoption of the remaining kittens.

Fern: Again, it is rather quiet in here.
Stevie: So, it is, but I’m not surprised because it is just the adult cats left.
Fern: Although I am super playful, almost like a kitten!
Rosemary: As am I.
Pepper: Did you hear about the dog, Oliver?
Stevie: No. What is it?
Pepper: First of all, he has gained 5 pounds but still has a bit more to go.
Fern: That’s great news!
Pepper: But wait! The rest of the news is Oliver has found his forever home.
Rosemary: Now, that is great news.
Pepper: And he has a playmate, a Chihuahua, and they get along beautifully.
Whiskers: Such a great ending for the little dog who previously lived on the streets.
Fern: I’m so happy for him but I’ll miss the little guy.
Pepper: Don’t worry. He is living here on the Hill, so we just might see him.
Stevie: Fabulous news!
Whiskers: Now it is time to get serious about finding forever homes for us cats.
Fern: No kidding! I’m ready for a playful home or a home that needs some entertainment.
Pepper: That’s funny but true. You are very entertaining.
Fern: I cannot help it. It’s just the way I am.
Rosemary: And any home that needs love and cuddling, I’m the cat for the job.
Stevie: Me too!
Whiskers: We just need humans to stop by and meet us. We are very special.
Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of “Days of our Nine Lives” each week. And please stop in to say hello to the entire adoptable cast at the ARF House, 26890 Highway 243.

    Idyllwild Arts Academy (IAA) has substantial outside lighting requirements for visibility and safety. Students, faculty and visitors are often out in darker hours, going to and from dorms and the dining hall, the library and various art studios, or attending on-campus performances and recitals. To assure these needs, IAA has an annual utility bill totaling more than a half million dollars. Consequently, the school has a strong incentive to undertake a sustainability program. So, outside lighting is one of many areas we have been looking at. Plus, many of us have outside lighting needs at home.
