My friend took the kitty to the vet. It was a full grown black cat. The eyeball was not completely knocked out, my neighbor had told me that it was hanging out. But still, it will probably have to be removed because of lacerations. I am sad for the kitty.
May your friend be blessed for helping. Though of course we don't want to think of it being necessary, cats do very well after successful enucleation. There are a LOT of kittens requiring one, sometimes two, if they are born on the streets. I advocate for a lot of them in my work.
As for the devil that did that, may it receive Justice a thousandfold, very quickly, and never be able to do that, or anything else again. *With NO apology. I advocate for capital punishment for anyone, of any age, that wilfully harms any cat, as was law in ancient Egypt.*

We all are but I am very glad it is being attended to. That cat should not have to go back to where it came from. Reporting is very important and may help that cat from being returned to wherever it came from. If posted on the news it might get many who are sympathetic and willing to help or adopt.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really want to get into the details right now, but please trust that I am doing all that I am able. I know you mean well.




Totally understand. It’s a delicate matter. I have had some experience with sticky situations. I do know that you will always do all you can for every kitty that crosses your path. I’m just so sorry you have had to deal with any of this. It should never happen. You do so much. Bravo my friend!

Thank you, I'm just really exhausted right now.

I’ve been moving out a bunch of excess “stuff” today. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny so I decided to get rid of as much excess as possible. I thought a yard sale might be fun. I did one decades ago and it was. This time, well, maybe not as much fun as I remembered? I’ll save final judgement for tomorrow night! :lol: I just hope that nothing has to be brought back in.

When I came back in the house after working in my storage shed half the day, BJ was eager to greet me. How nice! He missed me. Oh. Lol I think I have started something here. This is what I think Bj was trying to tell me.


Hi Mom!

Those your glasses?

You sure?
3630174F-66D3-4C63-8F65-E35EF1BD04E5.jpeg

I think they are my glasses.

Come on Mom.....
D9B24A27-F6A1-4757-AF51-1E395DC62244.jpeg

Let me have them. Okay?

He pulled them out of my hand.
7AF7EFAC-F8AF-46A1-9AC7-9BE503B04AED.jpeg

They fell......

Right beside Mitsy.
F4A867FA-17EB-4C9D-8987-34DCD21AFF4F.jpeg

There was an awkward moment....
288773B4-1569-4A25-B0FD-8AD568A3EC42.jpeg

Mitsy got the ,” look” from BJ.
543C9D81-891A-40B2-8676-D00DCA41E9E3.jpeg

Bj leaned over to her...
53AA9BBE-0493-4BD5-8BBC-DC7B176EC67A.jpeg

Gave her a little kiss...
5CC233DC-BB67-45BD-AF85-DBA881A1620A.jpeg

Mitsy seemed relieved.
54C7E4BC-40BA-4EBA-A49A-61CF19E2C6BE.jpeg

But then BJ said something to her. I don’t know what.....she walked away.
FE90188F-CC3D-4A00-B1F8-9C4B42B2576A.jpeg

This is what happened next.
6E8C2665-6938-4862-9744-DCB2EC0014EE.jpeg

Sweet BJ.... Glasses Mom?
757B8B77-FC0A-44BA-9F77-5C22F2B207F4.jpeg

I knew these were my glasses.
46CE6B9A-91AC-4FD9-9B66-0701F2E24702.jpeg

Okay. I’m happy now.
888A85E3-42FE-4FFA-BD15-5AA09634BC93.jpeg

I don’t know if he wants the glasses as a toy or if he just thinks he looks cool wearing them! He seems to want them on his head though. I’ve never had a cat who wanted something on his head. I suppose I’ll have to get him a hat next.:flail:I wonder if he’d like a baseball hat or a something more like a Fedora?
If anyone finds a picture of a cat in a fedora, I’m going to be splitting a side laughing!
Goodnight or good morning everyone!:heartshape:

You ALWAYS do all that you are able. We know that. It's a given with those who know you well.

Laugh yet again...this one looks a little like BJ

:flail:BJ needs a hat! Lolololol I’ll
I have a feeling he would love it. I can imagine sunglasses and a Fedora! Bj is the only one here who would do that. The others would probably swat me.

Hello everyone! I hope all is well with you and kitties. Thank you all for the good wishes about the sale!
I survived the yard sale. Lol It really was fun. I got to meet lots of people from the area and see some people I have not seen in awhile. One old friend wants to join me to do it again next weekend. It was a lot of work hauling stuff out to the front of my property. Ouch. Lol I might do it again though. I got rid of almost everything! Yay! I still have more though. I used to move more often and the advantage to that is you tend to clear out things each time you move. I stayed here longer in order to give Sarah a sense of stability and continuity. Later I stayed for the kitties. It’s amazing what you can accumulate!
There is another storage building here and the trailer. Fortunately I got phone numbers from people with specific interests so I could just call to dispose of things if it rains. Having a lot of things left here when my Dad moved supplies me with way too much inventory.:lol: He also left some of Grandmothers’ stuff here for me to store. I can store Dads’ things easily for him now that I cleared out my junk. Uhhh. Maybe I shouldn’t call it junk since other people wanted it. Another mans’ treasure? The thing that made me really happy to sell was a very special chair that belonged to my daughter. Not junk at all. It was a Tumble Forms chair that was specially ordered for Sarah. It went to another special child. I know the grandparents from the days when Sarah and I sold Orchids together so I feel really great about where it ended up. Very good people. They love cats too!
Most of the left overs went too. I donated them. I’m beat though. Every muscle is sore from the last two days. Heh! This was more work than the carpentry!
I did have help though. Lady dressed up in her cutest harness and made lots of sales. Who could resist this sales Lady? :p

She was all dressed up.
DD22FB28-6B88-4B84-BBA7-680093FDDA16.jpeg

Excited to greet the public, she waited by the door this morning.
799767B2-BDEE-4A2A-A221-71F2CE3B0707.jpeg

It was a beautiful day. Sunny but not too hot.
EA3C921B-D4C1-48EC-BE85-1E11D1D33B4C.jpeg

Lady prepared by sharpening her skills, errrr, claws. Lol
AFC28CD9-C1FE-4E8B-BC77-710C3703AAAF.jpeg

She headed to the sales table with confidence.
02FB5EA4-75E9-4127-8E4C-E95DE1669620.jpeg

We hung the nice little signs that Banjo, Whistle and BJ made. Maybe that’s why BJ wanted the glasses last night! :lol:
41385828-F126-4999-81AD-7C5998A6525E.jpeg

Lady greeted customers gracefully.
DCD82B01-F4AC-4FEB-8E54-FB709063EAF4.jpeg

She watched the table while I helped load things into cudtomers’ cars.
5C00D636-F84D-422A-A8B6-70C275B928E6.jpeg

She drove a couple of hard bargains too!
BD47190D-0954-414B-9EBF-775402728743.jpeg

Occasionally she folded though and gave good deals.
28737DCB-27CE-4B3F-8D4B-4529DA741D0F.jpeg

She was very good at pleasing the customers.
226D481A-D9BD-4CBE-B259-9B5781874243.jpeg

At the end of the day she took a break.
F7AA93A5-0F74-41C9-AA1D-FE685B4DC3E3.jpeg

I think she got as tired as I did.
F2D2423C-BF03-4106-A567-3EF858FBFBBF.jpeg

She perked up though when I told her that she had earned some great treats.
5657BB2A-9394-45DC-A601-02BAB86AE0C5.jpeg

After supper a beautiful golden light filled the sky. It was a fitting end to a day of sunshine and old friends sharing their lives. It left us all with a warm glow.
767C0210-6570-49E0-B964-13027799E7F2.jpeg

The world is quiet and it’s dark now. Kitties are sleeping after treats and rewards were had by all.

another kitty at my back, one in my lap and one at my feet. The others surround me. I would wish this golden moment for everyone. :heartshape::catlove::sunshine::sleepycat:

I’m adoring the Fedora pictures! :flail:
Yard sale customer wondered why I was sitting her about to fall out of my chair!
LOL. :crackup:

Not sure if this is funny, sad or tragic. :eek:


surya surya Wishing you some good rest and renewed hope and determination.
:yeah: :heartshape: :petcat:

What a wonderful day it sounds like you had! And with Lady doing the selling, I would think you'd be bought out in no time. I do love being able to dikker -- haven't really been able to do that in a long time as I do all my buying except groceries and the dentist online (but it doesn't stop me from trying! LOL I tried it with our late, much lamented supplier of cat supplies when they were closing and I got refused. I've been trying it with Petco! What was that Einstein is purported to have said about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?:ruminating::anticipation:) Lady does look so cute in her dress, and she seems very comfortable in it.
I also have a lot of "stuff" including my folks' furniture. Thankfully I also have their double garage, and no car, so it all fits. It's very nice furniture but I wouldn't get much for it at sale, so I am keeping it on the chance that I might want to bring it in some day and sell my furniture instead.
That's great that you found a very good home for your daughter's chair. Things that belonged to family members are special for me, too.
That is a very interesting painting.
Hoping you can rest today!
