Hopefully it's just an optical illusion, and that he wasn't really stuck.rubysmama Well that’s a strange collar! Lol Poor Doggie! They do get into things! Hoping for a great day for everyone and no getting stuck! Lol
I wonder how they got him out?

Twice in my life I have had to climb to rescue a cat stuck…… in an empty old birds nest! Must have been disappointing for the cat to get there and nobody was home! “Where did everybody go? No one to fly me back down? Uh oh….. hooman!!! Get the ladder!”
I named the cat Raven.
Lol She is a very lucky kitty.

another joke for mackie 
Actually the wire mesh on their catio has smaller gaps than the others I see at the hardware store. (I call every wire mesh as "chicken wire". LOL.)
Oh poor naughty baby.
Just this morning Graham was (again) on top of the birds' cage, which was placed high above. Graham has always been a high jumper, but usually always has trouble getting back down just like what happened this morning. I had to wake up my hubby to get her off from where she was.

I have not heard that one before! Mackie will love it!

I did remember the story of Marble. That’s partly why I was trying to think of more barriers. A second mesh wire, slightly off set from the first might make it more time consuming and a little harder for anyone to interfere.
You're so mysterious...I got a new cell phone, unlimited talk & text for poor people! Not much internet time though, but I use my desktop for that anyway.
I got 3 Gremlins! Two of them are being nice to me right now though. The 3rd one is almost never nice to me.
Is that the Dad you always talk about though? Or is that your real Dad? Is your regular Dad still alive?
I'll take that and raise you one.
Hmmm....Life metaphor perhaps?
Awww, look at that baby's belly.
This thread isn’t really about me though. It’s about cats and cat lovers and the things people need to know about ferals. It’s about rescuers/adopters and love. They all go together. When I first came to the site I felt I knew nothing. I was definitely learning. I saw others in the same situation or worse. So, I just wanted to share what little I knew and to offer some support for others who were doing the right thing. I heard from some who felt embarrassed by helping ferals. Some were criticized for taking on a problem that was not “their problem”. The thing is…suffering is everybody’s problem. If one person turns their back when they can do something to ease suffering then suffering continues. I never intended to write here. I just responded to a few elsewhere. After all, who am I? I am just one average human. Maybe in some ways I am less? IDK but when I saw people doing great things but being criticized, it seemed that someone else should say, “ Bravo! You are a hero!” If everyone tried to end suffering, while we cannot save all, we could stop so much pain, hunger, sadness and make the world better. That is worth doing! If every human realized that “if they are not part of the solution, they are part of the problem” wouldn’t suffering needlessly be much less? Hopefully! By writing the stories of the kitties, the struggles, the vet visits, the help found, the programs found or lost, the cats found or lost, the humans that make the laws or break them, the need to make laws to protect the animals AND the humans that simply try to ease suffering (TNR being a big part of that) I thought other rescuers might find some little thing that might help them too. Those who followed from the start helped me by walking the path with me through my own efforts to rescue, socialize, adopt out, losses, worries, sadness and criticisms. Some may not know how much they helped me! They did. Much of my own, personal struggles are not written but some people read between the lines. I still fight my own battles and I still have at least one person who sees these beautiful, loving fur babies as “a burden in my life.” They could not be more mistaken but that is their own battle within their heart, not mine. Telling about myself, short of my mistakes or things to work through as I did the rescues, was never my intention. While I don’t wish to mislead about rescuing being without problems, or the difficulties of letting the beautiful kittens go somewhere else to be loved, I do want it to known that anyone can do something. Even an old lady with many restrictions in her life. You just need to care. You just need to try. One life saved is everything to that one life. Every life counts. Your life counts, my life counts and every other life counts. Every life! I was given a truly great opportunity here on TCS to tell the stories of over a hundred beautiful cat lives! With that, others were able to come here and speak up about their own adoptions, rescues, knowledge of TNR, laws, lessons, health care, tricks and tips, sadness, struggles and triumphs! Above all, love of life. How great is that?!?!?!?! Even when I am not here, I hope the ripple of the tiny pebble I dropped into the water will go on forever. The one who respects my heart is my Father, The one who shares my thought is my brother, the one who knows my mind is my sister, the one who nurtures my life is my mother. Whether by birth or simply through love of each other, we are family. I am simply a ripple but ripples count. I wish everyone would know that and be moved by a simple ripple.
I don't think mysterious is fun at all. Ha! I hate wondering...
Well maybe you'll tell me the rest of that story later? I'm always around. How is my little princess Lady? And my spicy Muffin cake?

A cat can be trusted to purr. Dear kitties. I love the Pawverb! Some humans will purr when pleased!

Agree! At nine they are middle aged?
Oh, Darlin Girl, I will quote for you one of the sweetest, loveliest things I have ever run across. "The setting of the sun is no less lovely than the Dawn." They are beautiful at every age, but each age has its own peculiar beauty.

Here is an inspring quote I recently enjoyed reading.

and everyone here. Take care. 
Beautiful Gypsy!
It's funny that when I was very young all I wanted was to get older. Now that I am at this age, looking at the mirror is an effort. Where have all those years gone by? But, the quote is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
