Oh no, I did not and still don't know about Smokey - I must have missed that update when I was perusing your post, I will go back and find it! Now...I don't know who Prints is, either! It sounds like I have some catching up to do!As for catching up.... lol. Got time? I guess you know about Smokey. Purry just got stung or bitten by something. Me too. At first I thought a feral might have gotten his ear but I am leaning towards the hornet now. I got zapped twice. Purry is better. Prints has joined us for now. I am searching for three lost cats too. All in all, not much going on.![]()

Thanks rubysmama! The studying has already begun..'they' recommend 6-8 weeks full time study for the boards, but I think I can pull it off in 4 weeks. I'm scheduling my exam for 4 weeks from Monday, yikes!Good luck with your studying, and eventual job search.
Whaaa?? That is fantastic news!! It sounds like you've had YOUR hands full with the cats! So glad that Gracie is feeling better, getting healthier, and that Ziggy is 'chill' for you in spite of the intros. You do have a beautiful crew!Also Gracie's heart murmur is gone, must have been caused by stress while she was in the shelter according to the vet.
Oh my word, Prints is perfection!!! NO wonder he's stolen your heart. I must go search his story out of how he came to join the clowder. It is amazing the way these kitties find you! I have noticed that the local kitties seem to find my yard, too - how do they know? They will come here to lounge can usually be found in my yard even though I do not feed or interact with them (most belong to someone and I cannot allow my heart to get involved with any of them). What do your clowder think of Prints? It would be so entertaining to watch them when a new arrival comes on the scene.Show the vet that coughing video! That is a great diagnostic tool. Maybe you could send that on in ahead of time and get a response? I would try. It might save a visit.
You haven’t met Prints?!?!? Oh. Then here is a giggle. He has spots all over and he appeared after Froggie worked some magic so we are sure that the spots are Frog foot prints. Also, this kitty has already left Prints all over my heart.
Oh MY! What a sweet face little Pawpurr has! I'm sure I've missed a whole bunch of activity at Chez Catbird since I've been gone! I'm going to mosey over and play peeping tom to your thread in a minute. All is well here, I just buckled down with board prep after my final clinical and took my boards this week - just found out I passed, so the job search is on. Unfortunately there are exactly 0 jobs listed in this city right now. It's bad. Praying that the right position will open up at just the right time.Just hoping to give you a smile. You know that another rescue came in , Prints. Well,I helped with another. The kitty already has a home. Since we had a Prints, the next one , an orange and white tabby needed a name. It’s Pawpurr. Prints and the Pawpurr.She paws and purrs. I hope all is well there. Just had you, Charlie and Finn on my mind.
Congratulations !!!All is well here, I just buckled down with board prep after my final clinical and took my boards this week - just found out I passed, so the job search is on.

So precious.The boys are doing well - we're in the middle of a peaceful patch right now, will attach pic below.
Good to hear from youOh MY! What a sweet face little Pawpurr has! I'm sure I've missed a whole bunch of activity at Chez Catbird since I've been gone!

The boys are doing well - we're in the middle of a peaceful patch right now, will attach pic below. Charlie is still over-grooming and he still has that cough, but his bloodwork comes back solid, so we can't figure out what the cause is. For now, though, it is pretty peaceful around here and I love it. I look forward to catching up with the kitty antics around here! I hope that all is well and that you are doing well; if you weren't you'd probably never say anything anyway, so it looks like I'll need to go nose around.

Ha, it continues to be a roller coaster! Just today I lay down to take a nap, Finn was with me. Charlie jumped up to join us and Finn attacked him! Charlie chased him and they started going at it. I'm still trying not to interfere but finally had to get up and intervene when it started sounding serious. I found them two rooms down, fur everywhere, and Finn was hissing while Charlie's hair was all standing on end with bottle brush tail. Sometimes I think they're relieved when I step in so they can quit the fight but still save face.wow they sure have come a long way!!! sheesh!
Hi Rubysmama! Ahh, thank you for thinking of us, and I'm so sorry for the delay. I am currently working 3 jobs to make up for that long stretch of unemployment during clinicals and then Covid, so I'm working 12 days on, 2 days off, rinse and repeat. I am tired, but it's just for a season.buffster : Just thinking about you, and Charlie and Finn. It's been a while since you've posted. Hopefully "no news, is good news".

I'm so glad there's nothing new with you and Ruby - a peaceful existence is something to be treasured and preserved!No wonder you haven't posted recently, what with your incredibly busy schedule. Hopefully it will be over soon, and you'll be able to relax.
Sorry about Charlie's asthma, but glad there's no tumors. I've never used prednisone or steroids, but the topic comes up a lot on the site. Here's a link to threads with prednisone in the title, if you want to check a few out: Search Results for Query: prednisolone
That's so sad that Charlie and Finn haven't become friends. If only they knew how much better all your lives would be, if they could get along better.
Nothing new with me and Ruby.Jcatbird always has something going on at Chez Catbird. Right now she's building a catio, and searching for little Thrasher who got out of the house a couple weeks ago, and hasn't yet come home.
