Cats, cats, cats

Cats do rule...it's just that those folks in Turkey are smart enough to have accepted it.

Great video ChicagoReader - love it!

Spookie, There's a summit in Turkey. Turkish people treat cats like Indians treat cows. They have all kinds of laws protecting them. Someone posted a short documentary on the whole thing awhile back. it's intriguiging.

lovely pictures!

Today is Kittens gotcha day. 4 years!!! ❤️

Love that face!

Gorgeous!

Spookie - is that your grand-cat? Gorgeous!

Ruthbru- When I did mine I took the cats out of the house. The fumes were too much for me, figured it would be worse for them! They were pretty potent for the first 24 hours.

Moni

I would agree @ floors. Think about it this way: would you put a newborn baby in another room and figure it was ok? If not, then the cats shouldn't be there either. Not trying to sound harsh - this is based on toxicology which looks at dosage per kg of body weight. That's one reason why occupational exposure concentrations are higher than residential - you're looking at adults only for occupational and you have to protect babies with residential. Thank you Dr Shull - my favourite toxicology professor.

Remember the kitten found floating on a log and rescued by the teenagers? He's up for adoption tomorrow!

And here's another one - rescued from drowning in the same river as Woody was found (sadly, a rather popular spot for "disposing" of unwanted kittens) by a lady who is terrified of cats, but she got into the water and rescued him anyway. He's been in foster care for 3 days now and is looking happy and healthy!

There's also a bit more to the story. Earlier in the day, someone brought in a kitten about the same age they had found on the side of the road near the river, a little tortie. She was bundled off to foster care with a momcat and kittens about the same age. She took to momcat ok, but hissed and growled at the other kittens. A few hours later, someone brought in another one, soaking wet, from the riverbank. About 20 minutes later, this little one showed up and the riverbank kitten rushed right up to it as soon as it was dried off and let go in the living room. Susan, who runs KI, but 2 and one together and had the fosterer bring little spitty kitty back. When they opened the cage, she raced over to the other two and started licking them furiously. They're all from the same litter and reunited in foster care now.

happy they all survived!! Yay little boy getting furever home!!!!
