    Did she already have her kittens?

    Some of you may know that my husband brought home another cat about a week ago. We assumed she was pregnant because her nipples were extremely large yet there was no milk. A few days ago, the swelling reduced significantly to the point they look almost normal. I have never had a pregnant cat...

    Help me decide on a floor stencil, please.

    My husband and I are planning on stenciling our kitchen floor, which is currently unstained concrete. He is being a little less than helpful in deciding on the stencil, and I cannot pick which I like best. The base color will be navy, and the stenciling will depend on which one we pick. Here our...

    Abandoned Dogs

    This is long and ranting. Sorry. A couple of weeks ago while taking my daughter and grandson back to their apartment after his doctor's appointment, we stopped at a garage sale near her because she noticed a kitchen table and wanted it. While we were there, we noticed a bunch of feral cats and...

    Catching Ezra and What to Do

    For the last couple of nights, my husband and I have been trying to catch a feral-but-maybe-skittish-stray we have been calling Ezra now that we can take it to get spayed or neutered. When it first started coming around, I noticed it has rather short legs and walks with a sort of waddle. My...

    My daughter was at her boyfriend's apartment yesterday and found this little sweetie sitting on his patio. She called and asked me to help pick out a name. We--her boyfriend included--decided on Zelda Hermione Skye. I thought I would introduce her.

    Missing Feral Friend

    I am just putting this here because I have myself sick with worry and need to talk about it. We have a feral that claimed our front porch more than three years ago.

We fell in love, named him Silas Endeavour Book, and he is now part of our lovely glaring of 9. We took him to the vet and he is on the road to...
