That's such great news about Velcro. :hearthrob: I'm glad she's back home where she belongs. Hopefully she and the puppy will become besties. :catlove:

Did her Daddy say how long she'd been missing? Or her age?

Thanks for all you did for her, and all the efforts you took to reunite her and her Daddy. :hearthrob:
Velcro was dodging her family in late December but still eating at home. (Right after they got the new puppy and Velcro slipped out the back door when the puppy was taken for a walk.) That was when I first spotted her. She finally was missing completely from home about three weeks ago. That’s when she started staying on my property. My neighbors spotted some dogs chasing her. I think that made her decide to stay here in the abandoned building where the dogs could not enter. I began protecting her and trying to get her to trust me. According to the vet I took her to she was about three years old. Her Dad told me she is about three as well.
I think Velcro will be glad to be back home but will also know that she is welcome here if she needs my help. I’ll be watching the neighbor and the land from here to where she lives toake sure she is safe. We’ll just have to see what happens next. If she has any future problems, I’ll be available for her. I miss her!:catlove:

The cats activities here continue! Banjo discovered that Whistle took apart the most popular cat toy! Hmmm. This holds a ball that can be chased around in circles but Whistle keeps pulling it apart to get the ball out!

Banjo decided that Whistle ruined the toy!

She was really mad at Whistle!

There was a bit of an argument between them.

I broke up the fight.

But Banjo was skeptical when I told her I would put the toy back together.

Luckily, I got the attention of Whistle and Banjo once the toy was back in working order!

Whistle investigated and discovered the toy is back in working condition....

Banjo took over!

Thankfully the toy did work,

Banjo had a great time playing ......

And bother and sister forgave each other!

Another happy ending. :lol: Thank goodness!
Banjo has now learned how to disassemble the toy too so...... this is going to be an ongoing thing. I have a feeling I may be spending a lot of time hunting down a little green ball! Kitties! They keep me busy! :dancingblackcat:
Have a great night everyone! :heartshape:

surya surya That's wonderful! May he be safe, comfortable and loved always!
Jcatbird Jcatbird A wonderful story and series of photos -- especially love the inside-out ear :lolup: and I'm so glad and relieved that you'll keep an eye on Velcro. It definitely sounds like, though she may love her human family members, she wants to be anywhere but where that dog is.

Omg. Been working all day to find temporary foster homes in Southern Georgia. Spayed/neuters/shots/healthy cats will live if temprorary fosters are found. Euthanized if not. Space and loving care are all that are needed. Anyone have a spot? If these are saved then policies may get changed to alter the entire process and inhibit quantities of future issues.

Banjo would vote for this! Policy change needed now! TNR! Give lives a chance if possible.

Thank you. Have input info to best friends and will work my way down the line. Also working up from South of the area with some success. Red tape slows the wheels. I’ll start again in the morning but not giving up! :):hellocomputer:

How about a break from serious feral and rescue cat business?

New cat games? Get inventive or something Mom!

How about a new bird Muffin? You call this a bird?

A ball?

I can work this puzzle!
D4D9AE49-23FE-4717-9D43-B365122E803A.jpeg

I gotta get the ball out from under the rug.... right?
6E7D63DE-DFF4-4DAD-A070-2CC6C83D438F.jpeg

I did it. I like the game. It’s mine!

So I guess I have to act Presidential and wait my turn huh??

:flail: Poor Banjo! She’s a very patient lady. I can tell she can’t wait to take her turn!

Since the new bird toy wasn’t a big hit, I’m glad a took a leap and bought the kiddie pool. I saw it at the dollar store and it hit me how many things I could use those for with the kitties. If it’s a ball chase toy...... they can’t take this one apart! It dual purpose, play until you fall asleep on the rug! It proved to be a very big hit. The look on Whistle’s face nearly made me collapse in laughter. He was very impressed that it all worked as such a great new toy! After getting in trouble last night for disassembling the other toy, I think he is thrilled with this giant sized chase toy!
Sometimes the simple pleasures are the best!

I hope this left everyone else laughing too! Goodnight everyone! Happy dreams of happy kitty faces!!:heartshape:

The kiddie pool looks like it might be a good new kitty sleeping spot. Maybe there will be room for you in your bed?
The little pool has turned out to be a new adventure for all the kitties. :lol:
It started out a play area but as the night wore on it became a bed. Today it’s back to a play room. At least for now.
I was deserted last night.:confused2: How quickly they forget! Lol Muffin did come up sometime late last night but that was after a cat discussion over how many cats could fit in one little pool! The new items in the house ALWAYS get all the attention. They’ll be back. ;)

Soooooooo...how many cats will fit in the pool?
*How many ya got?* :lolup::crackup::flail:
The pool kind of looks like a giant pie shell so....... kitty pies?!?!! They piled in there today but I was too involved with other cat issues to grab a photo. I’m sure the chance will come again. I think there were five in there.
The pool has turned out to be a big hit with the kids. Lol
I have one to the Bengals but there’s is for their water dishes. Five water bowls were dumped over daily. By morning, no one had water in a dish. Now, two bowls are in the pool and they can splash water to their heart’s content. They love it and I love it! The other bowls remain upright. It’s all about figuring out what each type of kitty wants! :lol: I have three water babies! I may get some toy fish to put in there too if I can find some. That might be fun.

I am totally beat today. It’s a complicated situation and I will go into it more when I won’t compromise anything. For now, I GREATLY thank those who have messaged and especially for sending the links for networking. I am getting responses. All good vibes, prayers, hopes, smiles from our creator, love and good wishes are asked on behalf of a great many kitties at risk. We need every possible good thought for any good to come. I will continue my efforts. :angel: We need all the help possible.

On to our smiles for tonight! Much needed smiles for me! Thank you kitties!! Whistle and Banjo are featured tonight but Lady put her bid in.

Banjo was aware of my serious attitude today......

Meowing at the soap box! Her first attempt at establishing a presidential platform for cats rights. I think we need a bigger box! :lol:

Whistle decided to lighten the mood. Look Mom! Gonna play!

Well Thrasher, I guess we’re stuck with this bag of balls.
6FD456A2-DF4D-4197-A329-C1BD6C2C92FB.jpeg

:p Thank goodness for the support and love provided by my kitty family! Never a day without plenty of smiles provided!

I guess I better go and help Muffin and Thrasher open the bag of balls! I don’t think Whistle is ready to share the new fish! :lol: Perhaps a pool filled with fish would have been better. :dunno: We learn as we go!
:heartshape:Have a great night everyone.
