The Mega Pawsitive Fundraiser

Here's a real pawsitive - No snow here! Western New York is getting its share of early accumulation, but here in my little microclimate, it's a balmy 42º F!

Home (from work) at last... I had one more hurdle to take before I could relax ; to convince Missy to get her monthly flea and tick treatment. It went almost smoothly this time and she was rewarded with a piece of roasted chicken for being so cooperative. Good girl, Missy !

I finally got my new Pokémon game! It didn't come in the mail when it was supposed to, so I downloaded it directly from online. I'm going to return the hardcopy and send it back, but keep the free keychain I got for pre-ordering it. I just couldn't wait!

Ottawa got a thin blanket of snow on the weekend. It is a little cold out but I am going through cat photos today and they are warming my soul.

It's sunny but freezing out today. Even saw a few flurries. However, I did start my Christmas shopping.
Santa will be here in just a little over a month.

So excited, my oldest is spending the week with us for Thanksgiving. She took the train from the city which is a short ride away and couldn't wait to see Carleton - I guess we're second fiddle. BTW, Carleton was equally delighted to see her. He purred and followed her all over the house.

Several months ago I caught a skinny little kitten that was running around a busy parking lot. He was hiding under cars and crying. I finally got a hold on him but, what next? That's when a young woman who works at a shop close by said she would take him. I kept hoping I would run into her again to see how he was doing. FINALLY! Today was the day! We talked about him for quite a while and she showed me pictures. He's so handsome now. Best of all, I now know he is happy and in a loving forever home!

My kittens are three months old today, by their foster mom’s estimates.
I can’t resist sharing some pictures of them when they were littler.

 

[tarasgirl06]

weebeasties , that is GREAT news!
Another week, with more opportunities to advocate for the cats and kittens we all love so much. It's sunny and warm here -- I'd prefer cloudy and cool, but am thankful for anything we get as we are so fortunate! -- and all is well. Really enjoying the posts on this thread and all the pix! Here is Tarifa.

Marcy and Connor were chilling on either side of my belly. But I can't seem to get the pic to upload.

Dusk comes a little earlier each day, and tonight it seems even to have surprised my Friends in the woods. When Momma Fox was nowhere in evidence tonight, I looked down the river bank toward the den, and was rewarded with a look that said, "why is it so dark, and where's dinner?"

Dusk; no flash, and I'm not young enough to hand-hold at half a second, hence it's not much of a picture. Use your imagination.

I think that this is a lovely photo. It's very hard to accurately capture the light at dusk, much less convey the quiet peacefulness of dusk in a late autumn woods. The fox is demonstrating her camouflage and is standing up which is an unusual way to see foxes portrayed. I do have to use my imagination for the white stuff in the background, though. Is that mist rising up from water or the lower ground? A mysterious fog of unknown origin? An enormous dumping ground for snow? Liquid nitrogen on a movie set?

Just the river, a hundred meters below. Dusk races up now, and the sun was already well beyond the next hillside. To make this a Pawsitive post, I'm pawsitive that in six or eight months, Winter will be over.

I just put in some more time looking at trail camera images for Panthera, the conservation group I mentioned earlier that is working to save big and wild cats from extinction. Just when I thought that I couldn't look at another photo of a zebra's rear end, my patience was rewarded. And what a reward! This leopard looks like she is with cub. Yay! Leopard population +1!

margd - You can expect tarasgirl06 to show up here any moment now - probably holding a net and asking for directions.

Yikes! tarasgirl06 is coming after me with a net? I probably deserve it but...oh, the leopard. Since the location is kept secret, I'm afraid I won't be much help.

That's a lovely picture 1CatOverTheLine Have you thought about getting a trail camera? I got some really good shots on mine, even in pitch darkness. Mine was just a cheap, standard model but it does a good job of letting me know what forest critters are about.

I just got a delivery from the Pukka Tea Company. I'm having hot ginger tea now, to warm me up for the day.

Norachan - Thanks for the thought; I have considered setting some trailcams, but I'm not certain that I want to see all that happens after dark, and stumbling around the woods with the old Nikon is better than sitting inside any time - even in the dead of Winter - and having seen some of your stunning ice and snow-covered landscape photos, I know that you understand that concept very well. Dad used to say, "there are lots of things I should be doing, but I'm going for a walk anyway." He was a smart fellow.

My pawistive news today is that I'm reading all these wonderful posts after working all day and catching up with all my friends on TCS. @AmyTheKittenMommy the cats are beautiful! Congratulations to all! I love the little noises kitty is making when he eats. They need their nutrition to get into mischief!

 

[AmyTheKittyMommy]

R raysmyheart Thank you! But don’t let them hear you say that... it’ll go to their heads.
They are so silly when it comes to meal time. The flame point boy was so eager to eat that he stepped into the dish. Then, he tried to get at the water bowl while his brother was drinking, and ended up with a nose full of water.
