Start Here

Welcome to our community of cat-loving readers

My name is Marjorie Dawson and I love to write about learning my DSLR camera, making smartphone movies and cat technology. I add a dash of cat fun with our weekly Pet Parade blog hop so don’t let the Parade pass you by.

You might also have been directed here from an old post that isn’t there anymore so I hope you find something helpful on this page! Let me introduce the blog and spotlight some of the areas you might like to explore on your first visit.

Dash Kitten is based in New Zealand often known as Middle-Earth thanks to the Lord of the Rings movies. This page is an introduction for new visitors, so please read on for more information about Dash Kitten’s past, present and future.

We are inspired to help by Dash Kitten, our Founder Cat, who was killed in 2013 but whose helping intent and sense of fun still drives the blog today. Dash was a dynamic part of the ‘anipal’ community on Twitter and a major fundraiser for pet causes.
