I've just returned from Seattle tonight and I'm pleased to report to all interested parties that Stacy and Vaughn Young are alive and well, as are their cats and their animal rescue operation--Friends of the Animals Sanctuary. I spent brief parts of several nights sleeping in the cats new home on a beautiful island in the middle of Pugent Sound.

Widget, Mufasa, Jack, Phillip, Trey, Therese any many more cats too numerous to mention (and to be honest too dark to identify at 3am every night) managed to enliven my sleep but in no way could possibly detract from my visit with the Youngs--two of the most wonderful and loving people you could meet. Their cats are cared for in a manner truly befitting the king of beast; and, I am personally happy to have been able to have purchased this property on Vashon Island which will enable Vaughn and Stacy to continue in their dual roles of rescuing animals and people from the victimization inflicted by uncaring humans--be they $cientologists abusing their members or critics as well as people who no longer have need of a kitty.

The "church" of Scientology has already demonstrated their willingness to try and attack these cats in their new location and have them and the Youngs eased out of Vashon Island just like they successfully did in West Seattle. Yes, David Lee--a detective working on behalf of the "church" already admitted to having trespassed on the property in a discussion with a real estate broker who handled this property purchase on my behalf. He was just "having a look around". Having seen firsthand the devotion the Youngs have for their cats--let the "church" of Scientology be put on notice that any time they cause the Youngs' cats to meow, the internet and animal lovers everywhere will ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sincere thanks to Vaughn, Stacy and all the cats for their generous hospitality. Yawn!!! Before I go off to sleep I should mention that the Youngs have quite a few boxes to unpack yet--their computer amongst them, so it may be a little while before we hear directly from them. But, they are well and thankful for the many supporters, friends, neighbors, and complete strangers who have rallied around them as their cats and themselves have been subjected to abuse at the hands of the "church" of Scientology.

Sleepless in Boston,
