The Cat Food Cringe

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

I still wonder every time I open a can of Fancy Feast or pour out some Cat Chow if I am keeping my cats safe? With still more pet food being recalled on a daily basis, the trust I had in pet foods is slowly vanishing. None of my cats are acting strangely with […]

Early Morning Ambush

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

It”s almost 5 a.m. and my alarm just went off. My alarm is multi-faceted. It does not come with a snooze-button, though it has a purr-feature; many purr features.
The alarm is smart. It begins with a plaintive meow,courtesy of Cole. “Cat King Cole” is back with thegroup, after his adoptive parents decided this blacknbeauty […]

The Safe Pet Foods

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

With so many products now off the shelf, what is left that is safe? I did some phone calling today and some research about this. Most of the people I spoke to were concerned and helpful, others were a tad rude. I felt like they wanted to say “how can you doubt the integrity of […]

Pet Food Recall

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

I have been quiet on this subject, mostly because I was scared. It appears that I was feeding the brand of cat food on the list of possible contamination. I have been watching my group carefully. I have two that are vomiting, not a lot, and not very often. My crew is active and playing, […]

Sad update

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I found out yesterday that the homeless man is now in Olympia WA. He doesn’t have two cat carriers now, he has three! This could mean one of two things. His black female had kittens, or he has decided to break up the 6 traveling below into perhaps 3 in each carrier? I don’t […]

Forgot her photo. I can’t put photos up except before I hit submit in the original posting.

Not a dedicated blogger

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

I had every intention in blogging here every day, but sometimes life just gets in the way. We have had a few rescues pass through here, all dogs. One was a sweet pit bull. Someone really did this girl wrong. She was pencil-thin and running along the highway. I was able to get close to […]

Possible Success!

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Looks like finally someone gives a damn about the state of those cats. Tomorrow, hopefully, if he can be located he will be persuaded to give them up. It is, as I have always thought a matter of abuse and neglect (intentional or not) it is still abuse. An investigator is on it now […]

Updating

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Time to update on what has been happening.
On the Cleo front his wound appeared this morning. It was on his left ear. An abscess was starting to form, so I lanced it and drained it and gave him some pain medication (I had some leftover from Prowler) and also started him on antibiotics. […]

Cleo’s inside

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

My sweet Manx-cross Cleo was injured last night. He is inside the house now. Cleo has lived outside (his choice, certainly not mine!) for over ten years. The barn where he is used to living has been rennovated into a three story home. He has an injury to his eye and he was caked with […]
