Even though the weather is hot right now, there are clear signs that winter is just around the corner. We dragged this trailer out from under the trees this morning and took it on a dump run. As we were clearing out yard debris from the storm last year that had accumulated in our trailer, […]
Today I hung out in the cat enclosure most of the day with the cats. It’s probably the coolest place when the mercury is on the rise. Set underneath the centuries old pine tree and situated so that it catches even the slightest wind, I love spending time out there. I discovered a new toy […]
I swear, if I hear that one more time, I believe I will throw something at the person asking! Had a woman come by tonight and she wants a cat. But she wants one of “color” so I guess, black, black and white, grey and white, or grey and black don’t qualify. They are kittens, […]
I have been communicating with a woman via email about Monroe. Yesterday, her and her daughter came by to take a look at my kittens and see my set-up. I was very impressed, she was immaculately dressed, her daughter was gentle and quiet with the animals. I had sequestered the kittens in the house and […]
The weather turned cold last night and more cats were inside this morning then ever before. The kittens played most of the night throughout the house. I woke expecting to find some breakage, but the only victim of the kitten prey was the paper towel holder. They leaped high enough to break the spindle away […]
I am not going to be answering my phone for awhile. I keep getting calls from people who are finding kittens and cats. When I tell them that I cannot take anymore, some of these people start getting mad at ME! As if it is my fault the cats are out there fending for […]
I ask a lot of my crew at times, bringing in newly abandoned, dumped or homeless kitties. For the most part, they handle it well and I am allowed to merge the newcomer into the group (after vet checks and neuters) with little resistance from my clowder. It means that kitties can get socialized with […]
Another kitten arrived, this one with a severely broken tail. Hmmm- also the two cats greeted each other as if they were old friends. This new kitten is about 8 weeks old and is mildly Siamese. Scared to death of the dog, doesn’t have much of a voice when he meows. I am […]
Turned up on the doorstep today, a total love. She is owned by someone. Will be taking her to the vet to be scanned and checked. I am calling her Madison. She is upstairs in the cat room.
Every time I open the back door, I expect to see Cleo laying on the easy chair exposing his white belly to the world and wanting a good tummy rub. In the morning when I feed the horses, I find myself wistfully looking up at the rafters and hoping I see his royal gray […]
