My Feral And Rescued Cats

[Lari]

Thank you!

 

[Jcatbird]

N NY cat man I always trast my friends because they are trastworthy!

rubysmama Aww! Thank you! I do love all the fur babies. Who could resist? They deserve so much more!
I think Banjo and the others have me that Coin cidental Unicorn since I am always planning for something good! No gold but silver is just fine by me. A silver Unicorn coin has to be special!
The blankets all came from “The Dollar General!” I found that one early on and grabbed it up. Last year they had lots of cat stuff but this year seems to have gone to the dogs. Lol I only found two cat ones. Callie did get one with a little hood section for cuddling. The hood part is also a unicorn. Goldie, Blue and Mountain got the other cat one along with a plaid and heated pad. They are loving that! Prints hit the other kitty one just because it made me think of him when I saw it. The blankets are always priced well and are super soft. Pawpurr got one too. Hers has trees in different colors on it. She pulled it into her box! I gave her a nice little bed but, like many cats, she enjoys a good box!

tarasgirl06 I’m not sure if anyone can convince Banjo of anything unless she thinks it’s her idea. Maybe Froggie could Purrsuade her!
We also got heated blankets for the beds! I don’t have to be a hot rock now! Lol It feels so good! It cuts off automatically and has a very low temperature so the kitties like it and are safe if I have it on. Now when I play musical beds, all the kitties can enjoy spreading out if they want to. So far they are still being my fur blanket though.
M maggiedemi Ahoy there matey! Aye! I must be a pirate because me phone is always replacing my with me! Lol Arrrggghhh! I am always hunting for treasure in a treasure box too! All me mates know how to sail a ship thanks to my little green friend. He isn’t a parrot but he does like to perch on my shoulder! Just ask Captain Banjo!
As for washing the blankets, these are not large and bulky. I can do several per load so it works out okay.
An ostrich is random! Lol They thought they would enjoy riding a big bird until they figured out it can’t fly. They kind of like the idea of hatching an egg though.
Cats get all kinds of ideas! Like face planting and strutting.

Thank you to you, rubysmama and tabbytom for being my attention to the great news! New baby! I can’t wait to hear more!

Mamanyt1953 The kitties did have a good Christmas this year. When I think back to the years they had as ferals, it makes me want to do more for them and all the others like them. It’s so nice to see them living with some comforts now.
Scamper is living up to his name! I’m spite of that leg injury he keeps going! He must really love his lady! Maybe he can bring her back to his place this time! He has a great bachelor pad! You know he is with her and he will be back. It would not surprise me if he really does bring her back with him at some point. Please do keep us updated. Scamper home kitty!

We still have a few more cats to show from Christmas! Tonight o thought we would visit Mama, Goldie, Blue and Mountain Bear.

She loved her tiger tail catnip toy but....

It’s hard to choose a favorite when the blanket gets warm! Lol

Goldie, Mountain and Blue even left their baby doll when their Blakey got warm!

It feels so good!

For the times I am not there, they have kitties on a blanket to keep them company.

A little added catnip was pretty good too!

Nice flavor!

After a celebrating a bit....

I started seeing Happy tails!

Then Goldie stopped everything to..,

come and thank me with head bumps! Awww! They are so very sweet!

Then Mountain started posing like the kitties on the blanket.

After the fun I was invited in for a nice , snuggly cat nap. Of course, I accepted!

 

[BellaGooch]

Thank you for putting a smile on my face.
Jcatbird , Mama, Mountain Bear, Blue, and Goldi!
Who could decline a cat nap? I certainly couldn't! is Mountain trying to get on the next edition of the Cat Site magazine? Maybe I'll have to see what I can do
Also, youe kitties play with a baby doll? How funny! I love it! I think if we had a doll over here,Pants would be afraid of it, Willow would claw it, and Eden would ignore it lol
Merry Belated Christmas and Happy early New Year to you, the clowder, and of course to everyone everyone on this thread!

They treat that doll as though it is a human baby! They snuggle her and even play with her hair! It’s pretty funny to watch and very endearing. The doll belonged to Sarah and I think her cat loving vibes must remain. She always did attract the rescue kitties. I have some pictures of them playing with the doll somewhere. I’ll see if I can find them. Oh, Mountain would be thrilled to be a cover cat! Lol His Mom is actually named Goldilocks and Goldie had three bears. Lol One got adopted but Kodiak is also baby to Goldie and Blue. Kodiak went to the shelter for adoption but when the shelter was overfilled, I had to bring her back to keep her safe. She was running out of time there and no adoptions in sight at the time. She spends most of her time chasing after Banjos frog Prince and hoping he will fall in love with her too. The rest of the time she is curled up as near to me as possible. They are a very sweet family of kitties. Their original story was one of a stressful survival. Blue never left Goldie and the kittens during the whole thing. He is the only male cat I have ever seen that would not leave with other females and instead chose to stay with his soulmate and kittens. He and BJ are related and it shows in the devotion BJ has towards the colony. Amazing to watch how all the kitties in the colony were bonded.BJ avoided capture unt the last colony member came in. Then he literally gave himself up and followed me home! He came in voluntarily , although he probably didn’t expect me to shut the door behind him that night. Lol The last colony cat in! At the start of this thread, that was just a distant hope and dream. Somewhere in the thread I said that if I ever got the last cat, we should do something to celebrate. Lol I find myself celebrating every day! Life ,love and laughs with feral and rescued cats! That’s a true celebration!

 

[rubysmama]

Tonight o thought we would visit Mama,

We don't get visits from Mama very often. Does she generally hang out with the "Bear" family?

Goldie, Blue and Mountain Bear.

I just love their amazing close bond.

So... any more Christmas pics? Might we be checking in on the Bengals to see how they liked their blankies and catnip toys.

Well, you've heard about categgs, haven't you? There's also catmilk. You have to get a REALLY TINY stool and a small bucket...and be very, very gentle when you pull!
My barnies were in separate quarters from my flock of chickens, so never any kitten-sittin' on the eggs in the Mojave. That would have been a sight to see, though! *That person in the video sure was rough and inconsiderate of their cat, though!!!*
You can turn off predictive on your phone, you know.
How to turn off predictive text on an iPhone via Settings

1. On your iPhone's home screen, locate and tap the Settings app.
2. Tap General and then scroll down until you see the "Keyboard" option. ...
3. Under the "All Keyboards" header, ensure that the "Predictive" option is turned off.

I never use Predictive or Spell-check. Too much frustration and retyping!
Those are wonderful blankies. I really love the ice blue one with the white cats.

 

[pearl99]

Oh I have some new kitties to remember! Your story is so amazing and heartwarming.

*Absolute MUST-READ!*

 

[maggiedemi]

this year seems to have gone to the dogs

You can say that again! But hang tight, a New Year is coming in a couple days.

gave her a nice little bed but, like many cats, she enjoys a good box!

The pet beds are too soft, try stretching a towel tightly across it. That's the only way Demi will sleep on it.

Ahoy there matey! Aye! I must be a pirate

Good, cause pirates are the best.

We don't get visits from Mama very often.

Yes, I was just thinking the same thing. We need to see more of the rainbow girls.

You can turn off predictive on your phone, you know.

Oh heck no! If she turns it off, then I will miss out on hours of entertainment.

Sorry. My bad. Forget I said that. My boss sends the best mangled texts. Some of them are ROFL funny.

Sorry everyone! I can’t be here tonight but Banjo is doing a special post for us. A little pre Christmas piece by our cat writer. We will return to our regularly scheduled Holiday posts ASAP!
Thoughts from kitties at holiday time.

I wonder what’s happening over at Chez catbird.

I think I hear Banjo and Froggie! My rescuers!

I didn’t expect you guys to visit!

It’s good to see you again.

How do I like it here?

Oh my! It’s wonderful.

This human loves me!

I will have a visit from Santa too?

I’ve never had a Christmas before.

It’s a time to be happy and thankful? Well that’s easy.

I get lots of love. Where does this Santa come from?

Up there? That’s neat! Is he a bird? Why is he coming ?

He flies with deer? Lol Okay. He is bringing me treats! Wow!

I hope it’s food! I love that canned stuff! It’s easy better than bugs’

No offense to you Froggie!
None taken Pawpurr!

Thanks to Banjo and Froggie for their second rescue and their first adoption to a good home. That is the best gift for ANY holiday!

Wanda is a little beauty! According to my Finnish friends, Santa Claus lives there with his reindeer. And I do believe them, because the feline memPURR of the family is also orange, and, well, FELINE. And you all know how I feel about THEM.

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

Hello Jcatbird. I hope you are feeling much better today. I also hope your dad is improving day by day and will be home soon. I am wish you and everyone on this thread a Happy, Healthy, Safe and Prosperous New Year. All the best to everyone!!!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

Naow, who does this remind me of?

 

[Jcatbird]

rubysmama Mama does not usually hang out with the Bears. She prefers the company of humans. The Bengal boys will be along. Everyone got a visit from Santa. As always, the are shy with the camera.

tarasgirl06 Cat eggs and milk! Lol Would kitties stand still to be milked? That was hilarious!
I guess I don’t change my phone settings and leave the typos in? Lol At least that’s way I can blame them on spell check.

pearl99 The cat story is a bit lengthy but they all have their chapter here. I hope you do enjoy the stories. I feel privileged to be able to share. They are all wonderful personalities. They are a joy’

BellaGooch I love the covers! They are so creative and funny! Mpunyain Bear looks like he is posing for you! Quarrels in the Clowder! All the headlines are Purrfect! Thank you for those! More will always be welcomed and cherished!

M maggiedemi I will keep up the typos! Lol Keep the faceplants growing!
The rainbow girls are coming but Banjo is doing the posts right now. She wants to be helpful soooo...

They say that whatever you are doing for the new year sets the pace . I saved some holiday laughs. I am going to let Banjo handle this. She’s gotten quite good at the posts!

Whenallhellbreakslose Thank you! Working on all.

Wishing a Happy, healthy and healthy new year to everyone from me and the Clowder!

This is one of my favorite posts by Banjo and of BJ! I think they collaborated on this from the start. Maybe Dad taught Banjo some of her magic? To anyone considering a hat for a cat.... I would never force a cat to don any clothing that they did not want AND enjoy. BJ is exceptional in his attraction to hats. I believe it goes back to him being feral and feeling secure with something to hide him from above. Turning this over to the kitties now! Cat thoughts coming.

Before any gifts were given out to the kitties, BJ stopped me.

I’d like to play Santa!

I want my hat and I want to give gifts!

You have something for me!

It’s a mouse.

I don’t play with toy mice.

Switching mice doesn’t help. I want my hat.

So now I have to give mice to everyone?

They are catnip?

I guess that makes it better. Okay. I do want to help.

So, how do I deliver these mice? You have something else for me? Santa? What is it?

Christmas hat with foliage on it!!! It makes me feel very secure. Way better than that mouse!

How do I look?

I can forgive getting a mouse toy after this!

The girls will love it! I can use it for something else great too!

Making mice disappear!

That’s how a true feral handles a mouse!

To everyone here and all those who cannot be here, Happy New Year! Love to all.
May the upcoming year be filled with bright stars and lots of magic, for all the rainbow cats and humans out there!

So glad your dad is doing better Mom and I want to wish everybody a Happy New Year and great wishes for 2012
Mom bribed me to model a few of my Christmas presents. The first two were outside today, too cold to stay out more than a couple of minutes. Ice storm arriving with 2021 around midnight tonight.

Mom said I remind her of a Guinea Pig in the 1st photo so sticking my tongue out at her and 2020!

 

[pearl99]

Jcatbird Another new one! I need Mpyunyain Bear's story now.

BJ looks soooo debonaire in his hats. Does he attract the ladies?

dustydiamond1 tell yer kitty guinea pigs are one of my favorites.
