Ok, Real Life has kept me too busy to get anythong done on the internet, but I've got a bit of a breather. About two and a half months ago I came across a little kitten abandoned in a parking lot. I had to take him home, there was no way he would have survived otherwise. At the time His age was...
Two weeks ago yesterday (so on Nov. 17th) we took in a kitten that was in front of our building. The wife had seen him on the street a couple of days previously,and a neighbor had taken him in, but couldn't keep him due to his large dog. Another neighbor told us that he had seen a lady in a car...
Yeah, yeah, another post. Just thought I'd post here about a feral we've kept tabs on. We grabbed Pimenta from a local feral colony, and are reasonably certain about the identity of her mother ( who unfortunately has since passed away). We also have regular contact with her sister, named Pandora...
Ok, I hope everyone has seen the two topics about spaying Neta and Joy. In a couple of the photos one of her brothers appears. So this post is simply about León, the big brother.
León ( Spanish for lion) has always been courageous, and worthy of the name. Joy's brother was already facing and...
In the last post I wrote and posted about Joy, the daughter of Neta. Now it's the Mother's turn. Neta had two back-to-back pregnancies, something that can't continue. Now that the new litter is almost four months old we took Neta to be spayed last thursday. She is now with us while she recovers...
In front of our buiilding is a (unfortunately growing) family of cats. The mother got pregnant and had three kittens. When they were about four or so months she got pregnant again and now is caring for three more. Of the first three kitten, two boys and a girl. Now at 7-7 1/2 months (best guess...
Just curious: Since the beginning we noticed that Pimenta was a bit different. Of course, she isn't any "breed" at all, being from a nearby feral colony. All the brazilian cats that I've seen have a typical nose/bridge (typical cats have typical noses, no surprise there). Pantera is a good...
Posting this quick; I'm at this moment feverishly searching online for a 24 hour vet service... and they're all far away :argh::bawling2::bawling2::bawling2:
Pantera isn't well: the last few days she is eating and drinking water (although possibly less than normal, we're not sure), she is...
A short while back I posted here about finally managing to capture Pantera's "ghost tabby" markings in a photo. Now it's Pimenta's turn 😊
I've written before that Pimenta is a very good example of brazilian feral cats. History states that the Portuguese brought felis iberis with them to Brazil...
Here in the southern hemisphere we are in the middle of summer, with temperatures over 38°C (98°F) every day for the last month or so; New Year's day was over 100°F 🥵🥵 Pantera has not been enjoying this, she doesn't like hot weather. Like many people here, really
Off and on we have given...
It's a truism that black cats are hard to photograph. Pantera is no different, but sometimes I get lucky. Like many black cats, Pantera's coat tends to bleach out a bit during the summer like a surfer. It doesn't help that Rio de Janeiro only has two seasons, Hot and Hell. As a result, sometimes...
There's not a whole lot of posts around here about chattering cats. Pantera does it, and it's funny to watch.
Both of them only do it when there's birds to watch; we get rats, all kinds of bugs, and opossums, but only birds get the two girls chattering. (don't get me wrong: the look on...
Thought I'd post something a bit different, what with Pantera and Pimenta hogging up the bandwidth :p:p;)
There are three cats living n front of my building. Technically strays, we and the neighbors take some care of them, leaving out food and water for them. In return, the three protect us...
Most of you are quite familiar with the current diva Pantera, and her friend Pingo ; now, as of 9 days ago Pantera has a new friend.
Pimenta was living with a small group of cats living on the property of a nearby school- I don't want to say ferals because they live off of the food...
Should have posted these photos before, but here we go. This is about Pingo, my mother-in-law's cat. She asked me to post this, since she's not really internet-saavy. Just like brazilians in general, Pingo knows how to turn on the charm. Here's his story from elsewhere on the internet...
Hello everybody! I just discovered this site. I created a gallery for my ( now not so little) little furbaby. Her name is Pantera; check out the gallery- Cantinho da Pantera, She's more interesting than I am
