Dropped down to the 20’s here. This morning inside the grain bin, I found a mouse frozen. I put it by the heater (a vain attempt, I know) But with the amount of rodents my barn cats kill, I had hoped I could at least save this one. No go- it had gotten down into […]
Not the Rainbow Bridge thankfully- but today, a major milestone occurred. Livingston (the kitty who was mauled by a feral dog) actually came into the room where our dog Kody was laying and walked near enough to sniff Kody’s nose then fled! But it put a smile on our faces because Livingston used to pee […]
It snowed this morning and as huge flakes fell from the sky and drifted to the ground, the kitties lined up in the bay window to watch the show. Tentatively, paws touched the glass only to withdraw in surprise from contact with the cold. A few errant flakes landed on the outside sill and several […]
Thankfully, the cats are recovering from this unknown virus invader. Today, most of them are laying content around the house and there have been no unpleasant surprises waiting for me. I did lose two families who were interested in adopting two of the kittens. I suppose the term “virus of unknown origin” had something to […]
Today, I only have two cats that are actively ill. They are confined upstairs. All the others are running around like normal, eating and using the litter pans without any unusual problems. I will still be continuing the medications for at least two more days and I hope the worst is behind us now. It […]
Received a call tonight from a lady wanting to adopt both Sierra and Rocky but not until Feb. She lives in Washington and won’t be in Oregon until the middle of next month. BUT after letting her talk for awhile, she let it slip that she would declaw both cats! Not if I can […]
multiple piles of sick greet me every morning. cats are splayed out on couches, chairs, cat posts and tables not willing to move. snow is falling outside but they can’t be bothered to join in a game of chase the snowflakes on the window. at night, sleep is broken as cats get sick and i […]
the kitties are still sick, but no one is suffering. In a few hours they will all get their injections again (that was not fun). At least the needle is small enough not to be so obtrusive. But the medication must sting because they start jumping around when the plunger is pressed. they are all […]
riley and charlie went to the vet this morning. charlie is still passing blood and his stool doesn’t look like normal stool at all. the vet sent some out to the lab and i should have the results backing within 48 hours.
riley even though he is vomiting blood has good pink and happy gums, no […]
as of this morning two more kitties are ill, charlie being one of them. i’m just tapped out here. took trump in to have blood drawn. but the vet doesn’t think it will reveal much because there isn’t anything remarkable going on- no swollen glands, plugged systems- still insists it is virile. i am tired […]
