My Feral And Rescued Cats

[rubysmama]

What a sweetie pie.

rubysmama J is really getting Frisky! He stays close but he moves around so fast he is hard to catch in a photo as more than a blur.

The night of the eclipse I saw the grey and white kitty again! It took off very quickly but came from under one of the old cat shelters. I’m not sure what to think but I put food out. Just in case. I hate for an outside cat to be wearing a collar as it runs through the woods. That’s a risk of getting caught on something. I will be searching more for this cat. Kind of worried about it since Prime is not here to lead it in with female hormones. Going to put food out again now. Have a great day everyone!

Wow! I was just going through my kitty files. Most of my kitties are over eight years old now or more. Dolly is 13! Mackie, Purry and Smokey aren’t far behind. I guess I am starting to have a Senior Citizen kitty home! As I was typing this I looked around and who should I find sharing a blanket with me? I guess they consider me to be one of that group!
I think these kitties deserve some recognition for being so kind, for so long!
Mackie. It’s bedtime Mom!

Dolly. When do we get to turn out the lights?!?!?

My Smokey girl. I Needs my beauty rest Mom!

Purry. I got the blanket so I’m happy!

We older cats need our rest!
It can’t get better than a bunch of happy old cats cuddling up for the night!

One more smile to dream on tonight.....
I got a late text from my foster friend. My other, not too young baby, got adopted. Saffron. I’m still waiting for details.
Have a great night everyone!

Your an amazing story teller, with amazing experiences
someone needs to write a book about you, or you write the book!

 

[Jcatbird]

W walli Thank you! That’s very kind. A book would be fun. Especially if it could be used to help other cats and cat people out there. There are so many folks doing great work. Promoting that is the goal. Education, resources and lots of love. Spreading it around would be a very good thing. I’m not sure I would know where to start a project like that but if anyone else did I would do all I could to help.

 

[walli]

hmm, you have so much in text already, start saving it all!
might want to start by letting a publisher read your thread.
I guess start by researching publishing, but don't let anybody rip you off!
I guess Reconnaissance mission first!

BJ's journey always makes me tear up, just a little. Happy tears, though. He's really turned a BIG corner!

My next cat name may be. Velcro!

If you find another litter, try "Velcro," "Zipper," "Button," "Snap" and "Stitch."

 

[rubysmama]

I got a late text from my foster friend. My other, not too young baby, got adopted. Saffron. I’m still waiting for details.

Little ginger Saffron got adopted? Wonderful.

 

[Jcatbird]

burrgandy My heart is there. I am so glad you are going to research the issue of CKD. For anyone who can share information there is a new thread entitled
“How Do We Prevent Chronic Kidney Failure”
All shared help would be appreciated.
Sending vibes your way!

 

[burrgandy]

My cat, Sash, lost her battle this morning. Thank you so much Jcatbird . Anyone with any knowledge on this topic is welcome to share. Maybe we CAN Prevent this so another “Sash “ doesn’t have to fight!

 

[Jcatbird]

W walli Thank you for being so supportive! I can try to investigate. I am just a little busy writing on the thread and tending things here but it would be great to do a little more. I do have more stories than I have been able to write here. Lol Maybe we can promote the site some way. That would be a big plus. I expect approval would be appropriate from here. Maybe if everyone pitches in we can accomplish something good!

 

[Jcatbird]

Mamanyt1953 BJ is a natural!
I love the names you thought up!!!
Those would be great! Ahhhh! Kittens are so sweet.

rubysmama Yep! That’s the latest. Saffron got adopted. I’m hoping for more detailed information but I don’t know if I will get it. Hoping! Updates from adopting parents are always great to get. If anyone reading this has ever adopted, please update the place you adopted from! People like me want to hear from you!

burrgandy I am so sorry about your news. Please continue gathering information. It is invaluable to others. We all need people like you here on the site. Stay in touch please!

 

[rubysmama]

burrgandy I am so sorry about your news.

burrgandy : I wasn't following your cat's thread, but I'm very sorry about your news. RIP sweet Sash.

If/when you feel up to it, do post a tribute to Sash on our Crossing the Bridge forum.

 

[Jcatbird]

burrgandy Excellent suggestion from rubysmama
There are some wonderful people there.

 

[Jcatbird]

The time has come to admit to being a doting parent.
This is what BJ taught me tonight.


Scratch my head Mom.

Move off the pillow Mom. Mitsy and I want to lay on it.

Just a little more Mom.

Mitsy. Can you tell Mom to move over?

Really Mom, I’m not trying to push you over.

Ahhhh! Now I’ve got the whole pillow!

Wha????? Me? I didn’t take over the pillow!

I was just trying to love on ya Mom.

Yeah, right! I got squeezed out tonight by an innocent kitty. Well it’s official! BJ has gotten a bit pampered.

W walli I think the real story tellers are the cats! I hope you smiled at the latest cat caper.

My wish for everyone tonight is that you have the simple pleasure of a pillow.

Good night everyone!

 

[rubysmama]

I wish BJ could talk cat with some of the other ferals on the site that are struggling to transition to indoor housepets, because his transformation is nothing less than amazing!

 

[walli]

agreed!

 

[Jcatbird]

rubysmama He must be a really smart kitty. He has learned, very quickly, how to overthrow the house of Catgress! He is now shooting for President!

I wish he could talk to some of the other cats too! He could explain how great a pillow feels and how to own your human. I’m sure he would have them going for home domination immediately, maybe the world! I do think he would be a kind ruler. Snuggles for everyone!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

He could run on the "A cat in every lap, and a lap for every cat" platform! I'd vote for him in a heartbeat!

 

[Jcatbird]

Mamanyt1953

BJ totally agrees! A lap for every cat!
He has found his!

What? I need a platform to run on?

Okay, I can handle that.

Tortuga! Get up!

Whaaaa?

You need to let me run on that platform!

Now I can dream of being President.......
Keep scratching Mom.

I’ve heard of LBJ but I think BJ is even better!
Have a sweet night everyone!
