I have been steadfastedly turning down kittens for the last three weeks. A new email from a lady in Salem held a sense of urgency that the other requests for assistance did not. Most of the other people contacting me would say they wanted to “get rid” of their kittens or their cats. This lady, […]
I caught Twirl in the sunshine this morning inside the enclosure. Sadly, I believe the best place for her from here on in is upstairs, closed off from the sun. It’s such a shame, because I understand her need to be in the sun. I wish I could explain that the sun is now her […]
Twirl has decided she is alpha upstairs. Anyone who challenges her on the second level is quickly chased downstairs and out of the house. However, although she does vocally challenge the alphas on the lower level, that is as far as she takes it. Matuse, Oliver, Everest and Prowler are the clear alphas on the […]
One of my friends Natalie called me the other day. She was so upset. Nat has had a bit of a hard life. She had finally found her soul mate about ten years back. They married and had children and she was doing so well. Then Craig was killed (he was mugged) in Riverside, and […]
The wild one is still around and I have taken to feeding her on the top of the well house. There, she is protected from the elements by our century old pine, and she isn’t encroaching on Cleo’s, Tipster’s or Squirrel’s already established territory. She jumps on the traps, over the traps, tips them over, […]
This morning as I was giving Wild One her next dose of medicated food, she leaped over my head, cleared the door and took off for the woods. At least she was able to get several days of doctored food to stop the infection. I am sad, because yesterday she allowed me […]
She is now laying in the left-hand corner of the top of the cage, where I piled straw last night. I was able to change out her litter pans, give her fresh food and install a pet fountain for her without her taking any sort of retaliation against me. I used my handee arm to […]
The newcomer went into the cage at midnight last night. She has shredded several gloves (artificial arms) throughout the day. She has not eaten a thing yet. I went to KFC and bought some greasy chicken, but no go, she won’t eat. I checked on her three times today, leaving her covered the rest of […]
Hi God, it’s me, Mary Anne. It has been a long time since I have daily turned to you in prayer. I wonder when it all changed? When I became so busy, or the noise of the world drowned out the small voice within me nudging me to talk to you on a daily basis. […]
Today, Twirl came downstairs for a few hours to mingle with the group. She is still a bit irritated so I am going to order Star of Bethelem for her to mellow her out a bit. Here she is, minus her diseased ears
