	About CritterChitChat & It's Founder, Kate Porter
	CritterChitChat.com is the new site name for what was originally known as AnimalChatTV.com. ACTV.com was created as cyber support for the TV show of the same name. It was the brainchild of broadcaster/writer/producer & photographer, Kate Porter. The show was first aired on Time/Warner Cable TV 10 in the Fall of 2000 and immediately took off, quickly becoming a viewing highlight for thousands of the Coachella Valley's pet owners and animal lovers. Whether it was profiling local non-profit pet help organizations, visiting a desert goat farm and playing with the zany goats, or educating the viewer on how to care for their special animal companions, this warm and fuzzy TV half hour seemed to answer the needs of the pet loving community. AnimalChatTV was enjoyed for over 5 years and now, happily, has evolved into CritterChitChat, which will soon be featured on TV and will include a weekly radio show as well. Watch here for the time and place.

I want my life to be a personal experience, filled with what makes my heart sing. One of the things that does that for me is the joy in the eyes of my pets as I walk thru the door. My arrival home makes us all "shine" and I know I am not alone in this. There are millions of others who experience the same delight. Actually, I think the world would be a lot better place if we'd all concentrate on becoming the person our pets already believe us to be!" ...... Kate Porter
