Pushing contact with him, because in a few days I have to put him into a carrier and take him in to be snipped. As long as I stay low to the floor, he doesn’t view me as a threat. His baptism of the computer chair is becoming overpowering. I ordered Tuff Oxi […]
The torn ears that I mistakenly thought were done during the mating ritual, turns out of be possibly skin cancer, or a deliberate attempt of someone to burn her ears off. Won’t know for a few days what it is, she has been started on medication today after going to the vet. […]
See if this works
The kitty who was growling and hissing at me has now just headbumped me! I love it when my process works with these terrified kitties. He is a gorgeous boy, we had a real petting fest before he retreated back to his den (underneath the futon). His ears strike me the most attractive, they are […]
I know, a campy saying, but it’s true…
A few days ago some butthead dropped in the middle of the night on our property five feral cats. I know, because I heard the car drive up, saw the headlights in the window, heard the door slam. But the dogs kept quiet, the doorbell didn’t chime. I […]

Received a phone call today. A couple is interested in adopting out three of my cats. They live on a 92 acre ranch, so they are looking for primarily outdoor cats to keep the rodent population out of the grain. I am going over there tomorrow to look at the place and meet them […]

I heard a sad story involving 40 cats where a demented farmer supposedly opened up and shot almost every cat he had cornered […]
Today, Mercedes began acting a bit strange. I watched her go off into a corner and she peed what looked to be a swimming pool of urine. There was no litter pan where she urinated, she chose the puppy pen in the front room to let loose. I am so glad that I put […]
I know that it is illogical for me to feel guilty about feeding the pet food to my cats, but that doesn’t seem to stop the guilt. Cleo is slipping downhill. He hasn’t budged from his sleeping hole, a place I made him on the porch that is quiet, dark and low enough to the […]
