About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.

The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap 
This is absolutely great… full of imaginative cat language, imagery and feline humour. I loved it. Thank you for this. Jean-Jacques Fournier
I hope you watched it with your wife and two furry kids, lol. It really covered all things cat. Wonderfully.
Yes I watch a second time with Marianne, and we both thought it was quite original, and very good. Thanks again for sharing.
I saw this and am still laughing. I am quite sure my two children Sammy and Jada have conveyed the same sentiments. Died laughing.

Your comment made me laugh all over again. So darn funny. So glad you saw and enjoyed. She’s got a great site over there at Seeker. š
it gives me a good feeling.Absolutely good.
Oh, I’m so glad you saw it. Very adorable and funny.

Lovely video š
Glad you liked it. š
I’ll admit it: I’m a dog person, but I have loved a few cats in my life–the rare ones I’ve known who have shown some level of personality. This was great. If all cats were like this, I would be a dog and cat person… š
That was true with me for years until I met a few, like these guys, one in particular, Cyrus … I swear that guy is channeling a lab. Maybe we’re all just evolving to like each other, lol. š
Ha ha! This is pretty funny. I don’t have a cat, but kinda makes me want one.
I haven’t had a cat for over 30 years, just dogs, and being into dog rescue for most of that time with some pretty ify ones (abused and God knows what else) we stayed with just dogs, for the welfare of all, lol. I know what you mean about this making you want one… š
Awwwwwww! poor kitties. I had to smile, this is so well done.
I know. I keep going back to it and it makes me smile. I just love it. š
The little ginger kitty has such a sweet face, just love it.
Yes, if that’s the one about the door in and out, a beauty. I love them all but my heart went pitter patter with that little guy and the insect (thumbtack, lol) who looks so scared, poor thing. The one getting a rub, with the girl laying next to it pressing it’s head in is pretty cute also. It never ceases to amaze me how our furry friends make us feel. š
Fetching feline!

Poor kitties. I have always had cats. Currently have one from the shelter, the weirdest looking one I have had to date but she’s beautiful to me, and so loving.
I bet she is beautiful. Any photos of her at your blog site? As for weird looking, we have a mix (of God only knows what) part rottie, part sharpei, part hound, and looks like part giraffe with longest legs I’ve ever seen on a dog. She’s a huge head with tiny tiny sharpei ears, and one of our dear friends, and another dog lover/rescuer labeled her, FLD (funny looking dog) but to me (& the hubby) she’s the most adorable precious girl doggy in the whole…
not sad at all…. tee hee.
š oh good, glad to hear that.
This is adorable. I have always been a cat person, but when my husband and I married, they had to go b/c he is highly allergic. We love our dog!
Understand. We’ve had dogs for the last 28 years, and b/c they’re rescues and we never know, no cats. We sure do love our dogs… š
