We love Yesterday’s News.  We used it for our one and only rescue rabbit, Jackson Jefferson (aka Bunny Foo Foo), because it was the only litter suitable for a bunny.  After J.J. was adopted, we still had some of the litter left over and the cats would seek out the litter pan with the Yesterday’s News first.

Yesterday’s News is sponsoring a contest for cat owners or any “do-gooder” who cares about the environment.  Simply go to their web site: http://www.YesterdaysNews.com/DoGooder/Contest/ to enter the contest.  All you have to do is a submit an essay of 300 words or less (not so easy to do for us chatter box writers) describing the steps you take and the choices you make to help: 1) Your cat (hey, we know you have tons of these), 2) Your home, or 3) The environment. One winner will be picked from each category.  If you win, a $15,000 cash award will go to your favorite pet shelter/rescue group. You will get $5,000 and a year’s supply of Yesterday’s News.  For each entry, Yesterday’s News will also plant a tree on your behalf from the Arbor Day Foundation.

So go to the web site before October 23, 2009 and enter your do-gooder story.  And hey, we kept this under 300 words, so maybe we will enter, too!!
