Kinky’s sister who I managed to bring inside and Butter’s sister Violet who has a home with my aunt.

It’s been two years since my home was demolished and I lost two little buddies. I’m haunted all the time by my failure to take care of everyone. I was so devastated by the loss of my mother that I just couldn’t do anything. I think of them often though. I’ve thought about sending a picture of...

One of my cats started sounding congested a few days ago. It just gradually got worse until it sounds terrible sometimes. Just a rattling noise when breathing. I took it to the vet & they noticed the trachea was possibly collapsing. Not something they’d seen much of. My cat is around 22 lbs so...

I do have an air purifier I’m going to turn on tonight. This was so sudden. She was fine over the weekend. Thank you.

I have a vet appointment scheduled but am still worried. I’ve told my story before. My mother fed some stray cats but I lost her in 2021. I was determined to care for the cats she loved so dearly. I caught everyone and within a month, everyone had adjusted. No issues so far other than one had...

Well a little over 1 year later & the stray cats I rescued are doing great. I’m amazed at how well they get along with Lena, my one house cat. I worried that they would never get used to being inside. My mom would be very happy to see this. (Lena is the Tabby).

I’m tempted to send something today to the landlord. A picture of the demolished house maybe. I decided against that. It’s early though. Lol. No there’s no point in that. Today is very hard. I can literally mark what happened each hour because I too pictures. I started the day looking at a...

Thank you. If my mom was still here, she would’ve had some wise words to say to me. Losing my mom, some cats, & being briefly homeless, all within a month, was overwhelming. I think of each of the lost cats often. I’m proud I was able to save my mother’s strays. I just wish I could’ve saved...

Thank you so much for the kind words. My life has been filled with so much grief this past year. Losing my mother of course & loading the dear cats. Occasionally, as happened when I made my last post, I get overwhelmed with sadness. I sat in the floor our with all the cats on our final night...

August, September, & October are terrible months for me. I guess they always will be. That’s when I lost my mom, my house, and two cats. Obviously, grief feels is very strong. Occasionally, like today, the two cats cross my mind. There were so sweet. Butter was such a gentle cat. Timid...

All the cats seem to have adjusted to being inside now. The first night I brought them in, I was terrified. They cried so much. The positive was whenever I sat in the floor with them, they purred. I’m going to post about this one in another forum. Mom just called her “Long Tail”. We’d always...

I found a video on my phone of my mom feeding the stray cats on her back porch. The video is from 2015 & shows Bucky sneaking up onto the porch. We didn’t even notice him for quite a while. We just kept seeing him in the background of all our pictures.

It’s hard to see in this picture but it’s a small claw on the inside of his paws.

Bucky, the one stray that’s never been inside, seems to enjoy it the most. He’s the most comfortable of the three. He’s bonded with my longtime indoor cat and they actually play quite a bit. Lena has adjusted well to everyone. She’s the tabby at the bottom of the tree. I know Bucky he an...

I caught the last of mom’s stray cat crew this past weekend. Everyone is pretty happy.

I so understand your situation. My mom cared for anyone that visited her porch. She had cats that lived inside and threw that lived under the house. She had little shelters for the ones outside. The inside cats had mostly been ones abandoned when neighbors moved. She was such a good lady. The...

Mom always thought Bucky had 6 toes but we could never get close enough to see. I don’t notice it on his back feet but the front paws are huge. He rolls on his back some so I’ll try to look at them. It’s always been a mystery!
