Catarina....you about made me cry with your last post.....don't EVER doubt that what you do in this world is worth a hill of beans....it is worth WAY more than that!!!! You have cheered me up through some tough times, I'm not sure I would have gotten through without you...like when I first met you, and was pouring my heart out to you on AOL instant messanger.
You are such a wonderful person....both with your kitties and with other people...you are an inspiration. I look at pictures of you, and you are so strong, and so fit, I feel so small in your presence, so weak, because I don't work out as often as I should...but my heart is strong, like yours...(my big sis...
)
I Love you so much, and you, among others here, have brought such joy into my life....please know that in my book.....that means WAY more than a hill of beans!
what does that mean ?:confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3
What's one more?
I'm really sorry if I upset you about what I said. I guess it's this darn depression I'm in right now due to health problems. I can't believe what I did to my knee after a seizure or during one.
I guess I fell on my perfectly made brand new bowl of Cheerios that had this great banana in it. I didn't even get a chance to eat it
!!! Oh well, when it rains it pours. So, I not only had the stupid seizure(s), wiped out my knee, and woke up with a couple of cute
paramedics tending to me.
:laughing: Of course none of them as good looking and as wonderful as my new man Philip....ooooo..I guess I can attach one more pic...I don't hear too many complaints as of yet....:laughing2::laughing2:
:girly2: Speaking of which ...here's one for us
We have acquired house guest # 2 - lured another of Goldie's babies in last night - the old feather trick that Hissy told me about! This one is a little more wild and will take some work and socialization before he can be placed. Long haired gray - big beautiful,healthy looking eyes. Don't know the sex yet and handling is not a current option with this one. In a kitty condo set up right now in the basement. Rug and food and all the fixings. Two down and two to go + mom! Rip is getting more humanized every day - the life of Riley awaits him. Say kitty capture prayers for the rest of the brood for me??? - I am new at this trapping business!
Good luck to you, in rounding up the rest of that family! What a wonderful life they'll have together at your home! It's no doubt a great deal of work, but nevertheless I'm green with envy for you.
:tounge2:
I so wish I could rescue the cats hereabouts. Alas, landlord-imposed rules prevent me from keeping more than two cats. So, I'll have to leave such matters in the hands of real-estate owners. Oh, well. (Did somebody say "Classless society"?)
Kittens are my favortie past, present and future times! :laughing2::laughing2: I never get enough kittens!! :laughing2: You must be in Heaven! All I would like to do is thank God for people like you! :angel2::angel2: There's not many Debra Myers :angel2: around in this world; I'm happy you were there to rescue them! Good luck in your future trapping efforts...but I have a feeling you won't have to trap 'em...they'll probably just come right to you...heart of gold...they sense those kind of things and they'll love you forever

God Bless You & Yours......
PS...hey he is hot isn't he!...:LOL::LOL::laughing2::laughing2:
Catarina - Hottie fails to describe your man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today was my 25th wedding anniversary - I showed my hubby your pics and said remember when we looked like that???? NOT!!!
You guys here are great! Thanks for your support.
Sweetie is now upstairs in the condo in the livingroom with Rip - He is kissing her all over and over and over..........
you are sure right when saying God works in mysterious ways. I would have to add that I think you are a kitty's guardian angel. do all your kitty's stay indoors ? How do the others react when you bring another one in? I had a Tom that packed up and left when I broght another Tom in.
Catarina - thanks for the 'present' - (Phil pic I mean)
Kathy 70005 - Yes - all my kitties
(now +
Ripley) are indoor children. My cats are very calm and understanding when I have taken in others - I think that Baby - age 14 has set the tone for this. He is quite the mother hen and very protective of anything small. All my kids have come from bad circumstances and were all introduced first to the Alpha Cat Baby. Once he accepted each addition, the rest was easy. BTW - little Sweetie is a doll to hold and cuddle with. She is still scared - but warming up to us. Mom and the other two remaining are all curled up on the front porch - who will be next?????????
I just want to take this chance to tell you all how much you mean to me!!! I just love it here, at the catsite...and feel like you ALL are family!!
Catarina....you are so gorgious, and so is Phil, we never get tired of seeing pics of him or of you!
Catarina..loving you is easy. because you are so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgive you? Whatever for???
You have nothing to ask anyone's forgiveness for, my beloved big sis..
Ps....I LOVE that sweet picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Catarina
Sorry I didn't write sooner - little Sweetie was placed for adoption at our local no-kill shelter on Tuesday - I feel terrible about this -but realize I cannot care for the entire family. Little Rip is responding nicely to his medications and has gained weight - gotten nice soft fur and is a real terror as a healthy kitten should be. I have not trapped any others since Sweetie - I needed a few days off from trying and quite frankly, mom Goldie was very wary of me for the next three days. Will start 'luring' again tomorrow........
I've been trying to post this but my darn computer
keeps kicking me offline!
I'm sorry to hear about Sweetie, but I'm sure she'll be adopted out and you can't save the world! :angel2: However, I know you'll be trying to catch each one and give it the proper attention. I just can feel that about you! It's amazing how the people here are so special. I feel so lucky to know each of you. I've been blessed by you guys!
Debra, your concern is so understandable for Goldie too. You're definitely right to give her some space. I'm sure it's a lot on them emotionally as well. I know it's like you just want to be able to explain that you're just doing them a huge favor. Eventually she'll come around. No worries Sweetie, things will smooth over
Rip is just about running the house! His two remaining siblings and I are playing with the 'feather - cat trapper' almost daily. I am able to reach down and slightly touch them. - Popeye and Scamp are feeling like apropriate names. Goldie is still elusive with me and can't believe her little golden eyes when she sees her two remaining youngsters actually spend time with me. I may have a placement for the little guys starting next weekend - so will wait to trap until then.
