My Feral And Rescued Cats

[Mamanyt1953]

vyger , thank you being concerned, but "Spawn 1" is my very own spawn that I gave birth to, so I'm safe! As I said, he is a cloud architect and IT supervisor. Since he lives several hundred miles away, Team Viewer lets him do the necessaries from Florida.

Love the photos, Jcatbird !

tabbytom I hope it wasn’t a bad storm there. We got more here but not as bad as predicted. The wind was strong but only branches down. The garden says “Thank you!” Lol I think the garden has enjoyed the rain. It’s on the highest spot here so it hasn’t been flooded. I think it would have experienced some issues if it was anywhere else on the property. Most of the land has native plants but I don’t think the roses would have liked having wet feet. We’ve been lucky so far.

vyger Great information! Thank you!! Scams are everywhere and we all need to be aware so your alert to that risk is very welcome!
I had a computer that crashed and I was told the info could not be retrieved. I wish I had known how to find better help back then. Now I’m posting on a phone!

When those guys Syskey does it appear the computer crashed? Nothing working or what happens??

tarasgirl06 The photo saving tips are great! My only problem is that I downloaded the google photos but my phone has a photo system and it ended up saving everything that went into google and eating storage in my phone. If I delete it in one place, it deletes it in both. I called tech support and got no real answer except to shut down the google photos. I think Apple just wants me in the cloud. I’ll get them eventually!
Very glad you liked the little orchids. They aren’t big and showy like the orchids in the stores so I guess most people aren’t impressed but I have always loved the little spiral of white flowers. There are a lot of orchids in the wild but I think most people just don’t realize they are orchids.

Mamanyt1953 It must be nice to have your own expert, tech spawn, techspert! Lol Very glad you enjoyed the pics!!

The thunderstorm hit us again last night and it stared around 8+pm and lasted till this morning around 6am. Many roads were flooded and some buildings were flooded too. Guessed our monsoon drains helped a little and if there’s no monsoon drains, I think the floods will be much worse.

Now our sky is overcast and looks like the storm will be here later.

Good to see that the garden is blooming despite the storms. Stay safe Jcatbird

I didn’t get to walk the land today so , I’m sorry! No flowers!

What?!?!? What do you mean no flowers?

I am the best of all Flowers!

Snuggle time everybody!

Snuggles?

I could go for that!

Get the Muffin first Mom!

Hey Thrasher. Are you next?

Yes!

With a kiss from Lady too!

Bonjure! I was just going to pet you but a hug from you is purrfect!!

Awww. Sweet little fellow!

You give the best hugs!

Can I pet the others now? No? Lol

Okay......just hang on and come with me then.

Mitsy, I have a Bonnie around my neck.

How can I ever make you feel snuggled with Bonnie on my shoulder?
Can you tell me if you feel loved and relaxed?

Does melted kitty on your leg tell you anything mom?

I love having melted kitties from head to toe! My garden of kitties!!

Have a great night everyone!

 

[Jcatbird]

tabbytom Oh dear! Monsoon storms are torrential! I’m glad the drains are helping. My thoughts and hopes for safety for are with you. Perhaps this next storm will blow past without the rain falling. I will ask all kitties to blow your way and blow the storm off! May sun come in the morning to dry things out. Be safe and dry!

 

[vyger]

You are late! What took you so long?.......................................

OK, So here is a belated tip for you. Notebooks have a port (all of them as far as I know) for an external monitor or video connection. Today they are mostly HDMI. If the notebook screen is cracked, broken, burnt up, whatever, you can plug a monitor into the port and it will work so you can still use the notebook. In fact you can plug HDMI into most TV's so you could use a TV for a monitor. This would allow you to keep working and or also salvage any files you need to backup. So, if the LED lights come on on the notebook and show it's on but there is nothing on the screen plug in a monitor and see if that works.

Very good tip. You are the man (or woman )

but you’re still too late! ...............just joking ..............peace

We have two monsoon seasons every year. The NE Monsoon from December to March and the SW Monsoon from June to September but lately they came early. Looks like pre-monsoon storm, a storm before a storm

I’ll blow my kisses to them kitties. Don’t worry, I’m high and dry. I live on the twelfth floor

Yes, January NEVER has wet paws unless it's from a tongue bath, right?

Jcatbird You can buy a little storage from apple. I buy a gig for $.99 a month. Keeps them quiet and happy while I go on my merry way saving my stuff to the sites I mentioned. The monitor idea is a great one, vyger . And once again an opportunity for a shameless plug for newegg.com where you can find lots of really wonderful monitors and great deals. But yes, I know, *I'm too late.*
Catflowers are the most beautiful of all the blooms, don't we all agree? Many of us here are flower lovers, but there's just nothing and no one else as lovely as a big-eyed, soft-furred cat. And that's that.

Oh yes, that’s right!

 

[maggiedemi]

I am the best of all Flowers!

I much prefer the Flowers kitty, at least in the house, since Demi & Maggie will eat any type of plant.

Get the Muffin first Mom!

Oh there's my Muffin girl.

My garden of kitties!!

Sounds like my kind of garden.

Perhaps this next storm will blow past without the rain falling.

Metaphor for life?

May sun come in the morning to dry things out.

Metaphor #2? I love the way you speak in metaphors.

 

[Furballsmom]

Jcatbird, I just saw the weather forecast of some serious heat coming your way. You-all and the landscape are going to be steaming!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

AWWWWWWW! Everybody got snuggles!

Very good tip. You are the man (or woman )

Or possibly sentient deep space craft, originally an American probe...

 

[Jcatbird]

I’m the late one tonight!!Yikes! Where do the hours go? Running as always. Lol
vyger I love the information!!That’s something worth filing away for future reference!!Thank you! With my vision, I love the thought of using the TV as my monitor. Luxury vision! I wouldn’t need my glasses!


tabbytom I’m glad to hear you are on the 12th floor! I was ready to send you our little green boat! Banjo was willing to come act as pilot for you. I think the crew here could paddle you and January out. Bonjure has a great tiller of a tail! I hope the storms let up. The kitties are watching the wind for kisses blowing past. They will be sure to catch them. Bj is ready! He has his Catchers Mits out.

tarasgirl06 I love it! “Keeps them quiet and happy...” lol Purrfect. I love the monitor suggestions too. Good for tired eyes.
The story of Flowers and her name is interesting. She was a frightened kitty but showed it by being very protective of other kitties and she was a bit of a cactus at first! Catcus? Lol Once I got the chance to treat her like the rare flower she is, she was the most grateful of kitties. She just needed love, care and safety. She is a very gentle spirit and demonstrates that daily. It was actually Flowers who first socialized BJ.

M maggiedemi A Flowers kitty should always have a special place in the house! Lol No vase needed!
You do love language. The turn of a phrase can get us thinking. I like that too. Words can be used to paint pictures in our minds or stir our hearts. Music on the page.

Furballsmom The heat hasn’t gotten here yet. There is a stiff breeze blowing and it’s cool tonight. Froggie has chill bumps! Lol I think the frogs will be happy even if the rest of us are plumping up like dry rice in a steamer!
Hmmmm. Rice cooked outside! Could be supper tomorrow!! Solar cooking.

Mamanyt1953 Perhaps so! Thus the ID? Good catch! Deep and Crafty! Lol

 

[Jcatbird]

Banjo has been watching for Froggie but between the heavy rain, wind and cooler temperatures, he’s takes shelter somewhere. I think the frog house is a little drafty in the strong winds. I decided to distract Banjo with a little frog play. Ohhhh, she’s so smart!

I lined up the three toys. Owl, pussycat and Froggie. Which one Banjo??

This is my Froggie!

I love you Froggie!

Let’s play.

You’re a handsome Prince!

Let me give you a snuggle and....

A kiss! Lol

You’re kissing me too?

You make me smile.

What if I line them up in a different order Banjo?

I still know my Froggie!

She should know she can’t fool us Froggie!

You can just take that owl and the pussycat away!

Can’t you see mom?

It’s me and Froggie forever.

Did I distract Banjo? I don’t think so. No matter what. Rubbit or real, she’s devoted to her Frog Prince. There’s a special kind of magic in love.

Have a great night everyone!

Sending a little cat and Rubbit love to all.

Yes, I’m on the twelfth floor but a few years back, Indonesia had a huge earthquake and it struck while I was still in bed. I felt the building moved and above me the room ceiling light was swaying around
I thought I was dreaming as I kept looking at the swaying light and enjoying the swaying building. Boy, that was a one kind of a morning wake up ride

Keep the little green boat on standby as the floods may reach the 12th floor and I’ll be waiting for Banjo to come pick me and January.

Kisses to the kitties

It sounds like you woke up on a rollercoaster! I love a good ride but prefer it to be a planned event!

Never fear though! Banjo and the Clowder are preparing! Rescued cats are ready to rescue!

Banjo has already chosen the ships supplies!
Lots of canned tuna and chicken should work.

She has the crew practicing the kitty paddle in the kitty pool.

Mitsy is the diver in the group and is practicing holding her breath. She’s ready to bring you a line if needed.

The Bengal boys are all muscle and love the water so they are being included in the crew.

In case January doesn’t like swimming, Banjo is readying the flotation devices.,

You’ll be in good hands, er, paws! On standby and awaiting further orders! All paws on deck!
Kitty kisses received and returned! Look out January. A Clowders worth of kisses is coming!

These photos are great! I see that they are ship shape ready. The best contingency fur team!
Aye aye Captain Banjo, kisses received!

Back again! My computer was INFESTED with malware (I typed "maleware" twice before I got it right, which is a whole separate issue)! Thankfully, Spawn 1 is a tech person (tech supervisor, actually). He insisted that I install Team Viewer when he bought me this computer, so he could access it remotely and undo anything I did in my ignorance and other such things. I'd have been back sooner, but work calls are running him ragged right now. He says that the phone rings every 3 minutes with "HELP! My conference call starts in 20 minutes, and (insert name of conferencing platform here) program won't load!" This drastic uptake in work-from-home is going to either kill him or make him rich!

" Spawn 1"Love it!

Hey strangers! I know the orange boy is Sherbie. But who's that with him? Cheetah, maybe.
