Wishing you for quick recovery of Blakie.
I think that dirtiness thing is some sort of personal preference, or maybe camoflage. When Clyde gets to go out (supervised) the first thing he does is head to a dirt pile and roll around and get unspeakably dirty! His former owner said he's always done that.Originally Posted by katie=^..^=
Finally cooled off today. Back to normal and my cats were happy. They were all waiting for me at the feeding bench.
Henry is such a dirty little cat. All my cats are looking very scuzzy and unkempt lately, but Henry is the worst. Even Louie, who is not well-groomed, looks good next to Henry. I thought once he got accepted into the group and got used to being an outdoor cat, he would start taking care of himself. Instead, he still looks like an abandoned cat that doesn't have a clue.
Other of the cats that have white paws, like Sneakers and Mamie, even little Alfie, keep themselves very clean and neat looking. Lady Day always looks like the princess she is. Of course, the black guys always look spiffy!
Roll Call: Alfie, Blackie, Dude, Henry, Josesito, Lady Day, Louie, Mamie, Oscar, Red, Sneakers. 11 Total.
Torako does the same thing!.Originally Posted by katie=^..^=
They much prefer the cheap stuff! Just like us, I guess, the junk food is tastier!
It's wonderful to know my fosters are so happy. Maybe I'll get a report on Lulu soon. I placed three kittens last summer (every year kittens are abandoned in the garden.), but I haven't heard anything about them.Dear Katie,
Somewhere in Week 5, Sun (aka Sunshine, Sunnybear, or Supermodel) found her appetite and never looked back! He coat is soft like a bunny and glistens. Sun is a very lovely cat, she really is. I can't say her siblings have enbraced her with open arms, but since all 3 are easygoing, there are no problems. In March I adopted a dog from the shelter, and suprisingly, everybody gets along. Sun in particular gets along with Ruby, maybe because they're the last ones in and feel a sense of camaraderie. On nights I fall asleep on the couch, I can always count on having Ruby shoved up against me, and Sun asleep on my chest. We are one big family now!! Have a great mother's day.
How does the garden thing work? Do people get their little plot to garden, or is there a hired gardener? If there is going to be a new gardener, I would bake cookies or something extra friendly to pave the way...Originally Posted by katie=^..^=
It fascinates and confuses me that my little cats seem to know when I am going to use the front door. Once, again, I went out by the front door and there they were -- nearly the whole group! I've tried to figure out how they pull that little trick, but I can't figure it out. Do they hear the elevator? No, not from the bench.
It was chilly, overcast and windy when I went out. The weather casters were calling it May Gray because we usually have June Gloom like that. I hope my little ones that need to are using their shelters.
The gardener that let me use her garden to hide my shelters is moving. She has already cleaned off her front door and thrown out her magazines, etc. I'm not sure how to handle it.
