On August 1st, I handled a 3-4 month old kitten in a home that I went to pick up a TV set from. He had some lesions that presented strangely, and appeared to be a yeast infection. I urged his foster mom (she helps rescues out) to get him to the vet ASAP, which she did, but she was not able to...

Sissycat really appreciates all I have done for her, giving her a shelter space on my front porch with a comforter inside it, keeping it warm for her on cold nights with a heated disc, putting out water for her and daily meals she can always count on. She tells me so by bringing me little...

He's been busy, keeping up patrol as his alpha status dictates: He's such a sexy boy!

Penny has been doing much better, lately. She's realizing that the hated Squeaky-thing is just not going to disappear. She has been feeling SO much better, that she decided to use the wheel for a bit (after checking to be sure Max wasn't going to kick her off.) Here's a close up of...

(Our apologies to Miss Lola Floofy Tail for stealing her last name!) Ferris' tail is still as grand a flag as ever! He's been a very cuddly boy, lately. Here he is, snuggled up next to me on the couch. That's an afgan I crocheted years ago - it's huge! And speaking of huge, check out Mr...

Here's a couple of pics of Squeaky when she was still outside, before I took her in. She was starving and begging for food and love: This is the pic I still use as the background on my cell phone. And here she is now! She's SO fat, and can't keep her face out of the foodbowl! But she's a...

...she saw I was taking pictures of Ferris and Penny, and she decided SHE wanted to have her picture taken, too! So she got my attention, and then posed for me: Look down here, mum, I'll pose for you! And here's me on my other side! Aren't I adorable?!

Since it's close to Valentine's Day, and my kitties are always my sweet Valentines, I thought it might be nice to have a thread showing us that special "Look of Love!" Ferris is always telling me how much he loves me with those gorgeous green eyes: And he tells me this way, too: And...

He's big and handsome and soooooooooo stripey, and he makes her feel safe and secure. He really is the cat's pajamas.

Well, it's been a long and stressful few months, and the inappropriate peeing has not completely stopped. However, I think we are finally pretty close to solving the problem completely. There were, in fact, three culprits. Penny had peed on some of my things in anger at the changes in my...

...this morning, and she was so good about it! The groomer holding her said she was completely relaxed, and she was just looking around the room, letting them shave her. I was at another grooming table, keeping a "goggie" company as they slipped Ginger in. She recently developed a couple of...

Someone in the household is peeing inappropriately outside the box. Marking items: a canvas bag on the floor, a towel in the bathroom (on the floor) and a brand new catnip toy. There is no spraying, and I have already ruled out a UTI with one of the most likely suspects. It definitely has to...

OK, so I admit, I was the one that left the door open... I heard a giant crash a little while ago that shook my house, and I knew right away it was cat-caused, so I went upstairs to look for the mess...and found nothing. A while later (after having gotten caught up in unpacking my latest...

Max has finally started to reassert himself now that Squeaky has been here for more than 6 weeks. Current blow-by-blow: I am listening to Squeaky singing a high warning tune while Maxwell, after having spent the last half hour cheek-marking everything in my office, is now sitting about 18...

I'm hearing a jingling and the sounds of a cat in full on play, and I turn around, and there she is, Miss Squeaky, playing her heart out with a little black toy mousie! She's tossing it up in the air and pouncing on it, doing leaps and twists and turns, stuffing it under things and then...

that a strange cat can join the family and be 100% blended in within a matter of days: From top to bottom, they are: Penny (@ 9 pounds,) Baby Bonnie (@ close to 12 pounds, ) Max (@ 14 pounds,) and Squeaky (@ 9 pounds.) (Ferris had just finished eating and walked away, but he'd been at the...

She's not sneezing much at all now, so she must have just been getting used to my dusty house, LOL. She's blending in very nicely, and the growling, hissing and chases are happening much less frequently. I even caught her and Max nose to nose in the kitchen one afternoon! Ferris is still...

The power went off at some point overnight, and apparently it was off long enough that when it came back on, the water didn't start running by itself again, and the impeller croaked. It is silent now, no water falling, just still, even though it is still plugged in. 6 cats inside and no...

To my house! Miss Squeaky started having sneezing fits at some point yesterday - she was fine up until then, been in the main part of the house since Sunday morning, and was isolated in my downstairs laundry/bath for a full week before that. Her eyes are clear, no mucus, nothing is runny, no...

I never thought I would see the day, but Miss Squeaky has USURPED the King if the household and has TAKEN OVER as THE reigning alpha!!! I actually saw her raise a single paw to him this evening, to which he flinched, acted submissive, and then backed away slowly!!! I am completely boggled -...
