The first night with bottle babies can be nerve-wracking. The kittens are trying to adjust to their new world-sans their mom, and you are trying to adjust to having to get up every three hours round-the-clock to feed them.
On their first night, the kittens will cry sometimes unceasingly. They will cry if they are […]
New arrivals here. They have been without mom for 2 days and they seem to be endlessly hungry. There are four of them, 3 boys 1 female. A tortie, a mackeral tabby, a dark grey kitty and an orange one. This is the first year we have had SO many orange kittens. Just makes me […]
The sun is barely peeking over the mountain when the dogs and I head for our walk. The Cascade lumber trail has long been a favorite path for us. Baron heads the pack, his black German Shepherd tail pointing straight up as if to say “It’s this way folks! Follow me!” I let him […]
The scratching pad I received has claimed all the cats attention since it was first placed on the floor. Charlie likes to ride on the whale and push all the other cats off. Who knew this kitty that almost died would be so dominant with the group. I wish now I had gone with the […]
A gal that I only know off the Internet has designed a wonderful adoption poster for me. My hope was to bring the enchantment that these cats and kittens create daily alive on paper, and Carol certainly delivered! Twila went to a new home today, and there have been calls about three other cats here. […]
I have never had the pleasure of dealing with such a mischievous cat as my Matuse. I have to give Drinkwell Pet Fountains props though- their latest fountain has lasted four years before falling to the evildoings of Matuse. He jumped on the fountain this morning and it toppled over killing the motor. He […]
This morning on the way to town as I was driving though the Narrows, I noticed a burlap bag tied up and laying by the roadside. A movement in the bag caught my attention so I pulled over to investigate. When I opened up the bag, I almost cried. Two mackeral tabby babies just […]
Thanks to the creativity of Imperial Cat my group has been introduced to Free Willy-the Orca scratching pad. They love it! They have been riding on the back of this Orca, playing in the belly of the whale and sleeping/scratching and playing King of the Killer Whales trying to stay on top of this […]
Hello Son,
In a few day’s time, you would have turned 32 years old. You know what, my heart? I sit here sometimes at night and wonder what life would have been like had you survived. What would it feel like to have your arms around me hugging me tight as you whisper into my ear […]
We have been fighting a bad leak in our roof all winter. The crew arrived this morning to fix it finally! The cats are running around the house like crazy trying to find a place where they can escape the noise. Almost a dozen cats are crammed into the two tunnels leading to the house. […]
