OLM Pet of the Week- Meet Panmure
It’s time for this week’s OLM Pet of the Week! This week we want you to meet a sweet girl who has been shown what a loving life the indoors life can be! Meet Panmure, a female domestic short-haired kitty who is estimated to be about two-years-old. This little lady was originally a part of a Trap, Neuter and Release (TNR) program run by Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue, where feral cats are trapped and fixed to prevent reproduction, before being released again. After being spayed however, she began showing signs of affection to her TNR foster, and thus was brought inside to begin her new life indoors with a loving family. Panmure is now ready to spend the rest of her life with a loving forever family, and is up for adoption with Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.

A Technological Windfall for Boomers
As a young boomer, I spent a handful of nights in jail due to my adventuresome driving. I loved nothing more than to feel increasing G-forces on my body – be it on two wheels or four.
