My Feral And Rescued Cats

[NY cat man]

This isn't the cat that tried to attack Demi is it? We are in NY. That would be a weird coincidence.

No, from reading the listed thread, that cat is down on Long Island.

Okay, thanks. We're nowhere near Long Island.

Very glad to see that more of our TCS members evaded Dorian. Power on everyone? All kitties accounted for and all humans safe?

Sure hoping and praying so, Jcatbird . I have to know -- how is Froggie Prince? I am in love with that little guy!

@Norachan I am getting the injury addressed. Two appointments so far and another coming. The storm kept me from going to the third so rescheduled. Doing my best to keep hopping! Lol The kitties are helping with the chores.

rubysmama I wish I was closer to Merlin. Socializing him looks like it could be accomplished without huge trouble. He really seems to want a human. I hope I can help. Really hoping. He’s a sweetie and wants to play.

Very glad your power stayed on. That was a very rough storm.
I am better than I started out and have doc visit coming up. Lots of tests scheduled so hoping it all checks out okay.

Wanda Heart tickled me when I walked in to find her in the catbird seat. She’s so full of life now. Running and playing with the big girls.

M maggiedemi Happy Birthday!!


Did somebody say birthday?

It’s a good month fir birthdays. I believe we have another coming too!

I think ........

Everybody should have a ball on their birthday.

I wish you were closer to Merlin, too -- I'm pretty sure you and the clowder of Chez Catbird, plus the charming Froggie Prince, could work wonders (or is that MAGIC?) in that department.
Hope you recuperate quickly and completely! I think we can all agree that physical pain and problems are no good for cat caregivers -- we need to be strong, limber, and able to give those cats the 24/7 care they need, 365 days a year, no vacations! I did something to my ribs a long time ago when I had this chair that unfolded into a bed. A girlfriend used to hang out at my house a lot and she always slept on that. It wasn't easy to unfold, and I must have pulled something in there somehow. It was hard to breathe when I took a deep breath, painful, for quite awhile, but it finally went away somehow. I never did anything for it. Yours sounds quite a lot worse, and I hope it's history soon!

tarasgirl06 I have had worse problems than this before so just being patient. The first couple of weeks were rough but things are better. It just takes time.

Well, estimated tax time again..... yuck! I am going to post early tonight so I can do that and some other necessary paperwork and household chores. I’d rather be scooping litter boxes than filling out forms. I’m sure the kitties will help though. Banjo is especially good at these things.

Paperwork? I’m kind of busy.

You want me?

I guess I can do the paperwork.

Do I get a treat afterwards?

I do? Okay. Where’s a pen?

Get the treats ready....

Sweep? I’m kind of busy Mom.

I’m going to watch the rain!

I’m on guard duty.

Ahhhh.....okay.....if I do the laundry can I lay on the clean clothes? Lol

Thank goodness for all my helpers.
Getting our chores done! Have a great night everyone!

 

[NY cat man]

Doing taxes is like a trip to the bathroom- the job isn't finished until the paperwork is done.

Banjo loves to shred, I'm thinking! But "my cat shredded the forms -- sorry!" won't work with those distinctly unhumorous folks at the IRS, I'm thinking.
I used to have those, too, but not any more and though she's expensive, I turn all my stuff over to my CPA. She's well worth it. Peace of mind (and an advocate if necessary) is very important to me.
Sure hoping it hurries up and heals and gets better and goes away!

 

[Jcatbird]

N NY cat man So true! Never ending trip. Lol

tarasgirl06 I do use someone at the end of the year and some forms are prepared. I just have to do the prep and final work. The only problem with Banjo doing it is that the signature always comes out wrong.

Yes, I understand completely, Jcatbird . But at least if there is a problem, the IRS can

and, well...

As long as lives are safe, it’s all okay. I’m very slow in putting everything back though. Trying to take it easy in my side. No rush I suppose.

I actually debated leaving most everything up, but decided not to. An act of faith that the remaining seven weeks of hurricane season will be kind to us. Remember when hurricane season ended at the first of October? Those days are gone now.

BTW...if we have ANOTHER hurricane next year during the first two weeks of September, I AM LEAVING HERE IF I HAVE TO WALK AWAY FROM EVERYTHING I OWN with nothing but a suitcase and a ticked-off cat in a carrier. I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS POOPY!

*PRAYERS* that that will not be the case, Mamanyt1953 -- moving is a hassle for almost everyone, and certainly for ticked-off cats (in carriers, of course) of the rescued kind.

ELVIS: "Moovin'? Not me! Tunnelling!"

 

[Jcatbird]

tarasgirl06 Head of house! Too funny. Speak to the paw. I get that a lot here. Lol

Mamanyt1953 I totally agree except I didn’t pack. I just pulled in safety devices for everyone, including travelers. We’ll keep a spot open. Shall I put up a sign ? “ Reserved for Hekitty and friends.”
I got most of the smaller cages back out today. The biggest one can stay a bit longer. Carriers too! I had to sweep and mop. Cat tails tried to sweep yesterday but I think the just left more dust bunnies than they picked up.

 

[Jcatbird]

Hmmmm. With all that has been going on with everyone lately, I think we need a little magic from the heart. So this is for everyone who comes here for a smile. You know who you are. Remember the days when you were very young or your cats were still kittens? Maybe you just watched a kitten at play.....sometimes meeting a new kitty is tough. A shared pleasure can make all the difference.

I’m going to need a little help here for this.

Banjo? Could you get some friends to help me out tonight? Wanda Heart is feeling lonely with only big girls around and they don’t want to play.

Sure! You’ll have to go outside to find something.

Outside?

Ohhhhh! I get it. Well then, we’ll have to “chase all the clouds from the sky.”

Much better. Now....

We have to count all the cats in the house. (“ or bees in the hive”) I prefer counting the kitties. Lol

Then tell all the kitties to read this.

Did someone just say I resemble Eeyore?

Maybie Froggie can help too.

Okay. Think about imagination and love.

Then it might help if everyone will remember how it feels to try and make new friends.

Are you lonely Wanda Heart?

Maybe the right friend would help? You could look in the mirror and see who is behind you.

Who is that?

Remember him from out in the shed?

I think you might have met him before.

The other kitties saw him when they were kittens.

Maybe they’ll remember Pooh Bear.

I think they do. Their scent may still be there.

He’s been around a very long time.

What do you think?

Kitty kisses.

That was a good idea Mom.

This is fun!

Look! Look!

Hee, hee! They didn’t hiss at me. They’re having fun!

They’re still kissing a silly old bear.

That old bear was tucked away from the days of my Sarah but it seems that every litter of kittens managed to pull it out again. The scent of childhood never really leaves any of us. A common toy and the scent of something familiar are methods often used to bond new kitties. In this case a very old friend is helping to bond new ones. Sarah would have smiled at this. I hope you do to and I suggest you go here before signing off tonight. Have a beautiful night everyone! Wanda Heart and her friends send you purrs.

This made my night!! So very sweet!

 

[Jcatbird]

Very glad to see you. I had just had you in my thoughts. I hope everything is okay!

 

[rubysmama]

It really was. And I got weepy reading it, as I realized how amazing a mom you must have been to Sarah. And of course now to the cat clowder.

Jcatbird - Fayola had her kittens!!

There are 3 kittens. They are all black and white so they all blend in with each other.
