Feline Friday! April 21, 2022


Our dear friends are now fostering
this sweet cat who will be having 
her kittens most likely next week!
Annabelle is in a very safe and loving
home with children who are learning
how to care for and foster cats.
After Annabelle has her babies and when
they are old enough they will have all
their vaccines and will be spayed/neutered
before being adopted. 
Annabelle will also be ready to be adopted.
 This is a wonderful program for cats that we have here. https://southwesthumane.org/

Feline Friday and Friendly Fill-In Questions! March 11, 2022

This week we've had the pleasure of visiting
these three cuties each day while their family is
on a skiing vacation. All three are rescues
with different personalities.
Below is Fifi who was resistant to coming into
our friends' home for a few years. So they fed her
outside until she finally relented and now lives with them
and their two other rescue cats.  
Fifi is the least sociable and very skittish, 
but will now at least sniff my hand.
I had to use a flash- sorry about the glowing eyes..... 






Here is Muffin- she is a very talkative and friendly cat!
 

And finally here is Poo....a very very sweet cat!
He loves sitting on my lap and purring non-stop!
All three are very sweet cats with their own personalities!
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

Feline Friday and Friendly Fill-ins! February 25, 2022

One of my favorite cats was Larry. He was a neighborhood kitten that wandered around and my son Paul wanted to adopt him as the older neighbor didn't take care of his cats. We were going on vacation and I instructed my 18 year old to " NOT let the kitten in the house" while we were gone. 
Well... we got home and the kitten was lounging on our bed, making himself at home, noshing on yummy food and having a lovely time. Of course I took Larry ( yep he had been named!) to the vet and got all his vaccines etc. Larry was a fun cat, very loving and lived to be 20 years old! One of these days I will unpack all our photo albums and find some fun photos of all our cats to share! Have a lovely day....everyday!
Thanks Sandee!

I have always thought that cats should be allowed in Libraries!
It would be fun to sit down with a book and read to the cat!

Thanks Sandee for Feline Friday!
