Our catch phrase is on its way.

Dear Fellow Earthlings,

I once saw a cat with a broken bone sticking out of its leg and had to convince it that I could help it. I wanted to take it to a veterinarian. The cat was in a bad way! It could not run away from me, but it refused to let me pick it up and put it into a box. I looked at it sincerely and said, “ I just want to help you.” As if by magic, the cat suddenly limped close to me and allowed me to pick it up, put it in a box, and drive it to a veterinarian. The veterinarian cleaned its wound, set the broken leg, and (at my request) agreed to keep the cat with him until it recovered. After a few weeks, I dropped by to see how the cat was faring – and to find out how much money I owed to the veterianarian. The cat’s broken bone had healed completely and its eyes were bright, its coat very smooth and clean. The veterinarian had given the cat a name: “Lucky”. I asked the veterinarian how much I owed him. He said, “Just promise to keep your attitude about helping all living things. I don’t need any money for this! It was MY privilege to help you help Lucky.”
