As some of you know, I lost my wonderful girl JinJin a few months ago. What I didn't make public is that I had actually added another cat to my household. At first it was on a trial basis to see how he did, but of course he's staying. I originally met him last December when I took his picture...
I remember this made the rounds here a couple of years ago, but I ran across it again, and thought you all might enjoy it. You have to put the colors in the correct order on the spectrums, and then submit your score to see how well you did. The lower the score, the better.
My score was 14...
I was going through pictures trying to find one for the June contest, and I came across this picture of JinJin that I took a couple of years ago. She looks so happy and content and healthy in this picture.
I miss my girl.
I finally bought a lens I've been saving up for forever! I bought it on ebay, so I had to test it to make sure it was a sharp copy, and in full working order (which it is, on both counts! ). There were a couple of them of our garden that I thought I'd share:
This is a new rose I put in this...
I've had these guys for a few weeks now, and they've made wonderful progress! I thought I'd update the pictures.
Here's handsome Finn:
Gina, the cutie-patootie!
And Fiona...voted most improved by me!

My beautiful, sweet JinJin went to the bridge this week. She's been through so much in her life, coming to me as a pregnant feral girl, and blossoming into my sweet little house cat. I said my goodbyes, and after she was gone, I held her and kissed her as she would never allow in life.

Rory was part of a litter recently rescued from a hoarder's home. She was emaciated , and laying on a pile of garbage. An afternoon at the vets, lots of meds, and one flea bath later, she seemed to feel better. For a couple of days she seemed to be improving, and was actually playing. Over a...
Here are some pics of my newest foster kittens. Like some of last year's, these came from a hoarding situation. They're still trying to get the last kitten...big vibes for her capture! These poor babes are terrified, and underweight...their spines are sticking out, and I can feel all their ribs...
I take pictures of cats for a local rescue for their website. Today I took pictures of this gorgeous little DSH 5 month old kitten. The marking on the top of her head is either smoke or shaded (if I'd had more time, I'd have gotten a close-up of it. Her tail has a lighter version of the spot...
It has been brought to my attention that I haven't posted any pictures of my girls in a very long time. My poor JinJin had gotten terribly fat, poor thing. A couple of months ago I made the slow transition to all wet food, and that's helped considerably. Although Jin's still a fatty, she's...
Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day, so adjust your eye patches, gets your parrots on your shoulders, and start talkin' like a proper pirate ye scurvy knaves! Arrrr!!!
Here's sweet Bebe. She's the lap cat of the bunch! Don't turn your back on her, or she'll leap up to get on your shoulders!
Here's Amelia, Bebe's sister. Half lap cat, half nutcase!
Here's pretty Fergie. She's a shy girl, but is making great progress!
Here's Quinnie, Fergie's sister...
I just got these guys a couple of days ago. They came with their mama Winnie. Poor Winnie has an old eye injury, and will need to have it removed. I'm not going to post her picture here as her poor eye is a bit disturbing. She's a petite little black kitty.
Here are pics of her babies:

Tess has come so far, and now she's earned herself a new home! The best part is that she and Dylan are going to be together! They leave tomorrow (Thursday). I took some last pics to remember my girls by.
First is Dylan...she's getting so big!

Aww...kitty...
I went with some friends to a Cubs game tonight at Wrigley, and as we were walking through the lower gangway, I saw Jesse Jackson walking toward us. He crossed right in front of me, he was holding the hand of a small boy, and another man was behind them (could be JJ Jr...I can't recognize him...
My formerly feral foster kitten Tess has really turned it around since I started fostering other social kittens with her. She's turned into a sweet, loving girl. She's such a gorgeous girl! Hopefully someone will fall in love with her soon!
Here are some recent pics

I'm currently fostering a litter of three approx 10 week old kittens. They're adorable, and were a bit sick when I got them. Now that they're well, one of them is emerging as a very rough-playing kitten. She constantly play bites, and is constantly clawing my hands in an attempt to play. If...
