The New Year will soon ring in with substantially less kittens in the Miller home! I have made a couple of surprise visits to some of the kittens new places to find they are thriving and being loved and cared for- I couldn’t ask for a better outcome than that!
I still have black kitties and this morning, when I opened the door to let the barn cats come in, this beautiful black and white longhair kitten (about 7 months old) waltzed in like she owned the place! At first I thought it was Muddy as she is quite similar to her, but then Muddy came into the kitchen and I thought- “What in the world? Who are you?”
I did a quick roll call check on the black plague, Moses, Melin, Waverly, Muddy, Frasier, Sharky all accounted for and present.
The new one has made herself quite comfortable on the couch, there have been no confrontations and she ate like there is no tomorrow. I suspect the wild weather has driven her to me and I will make inquiries around the road to see if she might be someone’s Christmas kitty! Mike says she is now our Christmas Kitty! Just what we need! LOL
To my readers of this blog, I want to wish you a Happy New Year’s and may 2010 be full of infinite possibilities and delights! If you see a stray wandering your neigborhood and you have the means to take care of the creature, I hope my writings have encouraged you to do so. There are to many people in this world who turn their backs on suffering, who are so self-involved they do not notice the cat scrounging at the dumpster of the local McDonald’s or notice the litter of kittens huddling under a bush.
I thank you all for bearing with me through everything God has thrown at me this year. It is your prayers and support that have helped me through the tough times and shown me that although I may at times want to stop rescuing, God has other plans.
Take care of yourself, and each other and I will meet you again in the New Year!
With Love and Respect-
Mary Anne Miller
A VERY BLESSED 2010 to you and Mike and the whole clowder. Your blog is an important part of my life! I’ve always loved stray people and stray animals. Perhaps this is one reason why there are 3 precious kitties and one wonderful dog in our home, as well as two miracle sons who became part of our family from an orphanage in Russia. God is so good!
I am looking for information on the roof you have used in your enclosure 2. I am getting ready to build an enclosure and that roof would be perfect what is the material called.
Thank you for your time and attention

Cheryl,
I went through a local roofing company and I have no idea what this type of roof is called. I just know that it is a new technology applied to roofs in the last ten or so years. It is the same type of material they use to line swimming pools. The company we worked with was kind enough to take payments which in itself was a miracle! I think the owner is a cat lover because he couldn’t seem to leave the inside of the enclosure after the work was done! LOL
Good luck with your enclosure and bless you for caring for the strays.
