    Ruth, I have one like that. Only gets lovey when she can sit on my lap when I'm on the toilet! Otherwise she can't be bothered.

    Rusty, our foster cat, had his hernia repaired today. He's in a cone and on cage rest for 2 weeks. In the meantime our cat, Squeakers, has an eye ulcer and he's on eye drops and has a cone. Going to be fun around here. At least cage rest means they won't be able to interact.

    Challenging, Wren! Love the lap kitties. :)

    I have awesome adoption news. Kitten Inn got 2 female cats, mother and daughter. Both with kittens. They co-parented and it was amazing to watch. They are very bonded. One of them was ill and the other one took care of the entire 9 kitten brood until she recovered. Anyway...they have been adopted together - into a rest home!!! They are extremely snuggly lap cats, love attention. They had been at the rest home for about 20 minutes and were already playing and rolling around on the carpet. Everyone at Kitten Inn is thrilled. Best possible outcome.

    Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the laughter thread...but too good not to share.

    Here's my beautiful girl, Cleo. She's 11.

    This is her littermate, Rupert. He died roughly a month after this photo was taken, of cancer.

    Here's a better photo, from earlier that year.

    Awww..Cleo and Rupert. Rupert is nearly identical to our GC who went missing a year ago and hasn't returned. :( So sorry for your loss. Cleo is lovely!

    Oh, the captions that could go along with that face. It's a meme waiting to happen! What a patient boy he is.

    HI ladies!! FeelingFeline told me of this thread, so I had to pop in and meet you guys. Here is my run down of felines.

    My avatar is of my Blues (RIP). Over 3 years ago, I had to say good-bye to her. I was beyond devastated. 10 weeks after having to put her down, I had to put down her sister, Rhythm. I went from devastated to very traumatized. Their younger sister, Harmony, who is 12 years old now, started having medical problems. From stomatitis (from which she has been cured due to having all her teeth out by a dental expert), to becoming hyperthyriod. Put her thru I-131 for it, which fixed the hyperT, but she fell into the 30% risk of becoming hypothyroid. She is stabilized now, with meds (and it is easier to treat HypOt, over hyperT, with meds)

    And I have a 4 y/o names Cricket (Blues named her)


    So yes, a feline lover indeed. And with all the medical issues my furry ones have had, I have become something of an feline expert, as far as being a layperson.

    Teka, Now there's a good idea!

    Last night at the shelter, someone brought in a box with an injured Mom and 5 kittens. The story of "finding" them was a little sketch, so who knows what happened. Mom was sent to the 24hr emergency vet where she was anesthetized and her wound debrided and repaired. The kittens were 7-10 days old and cold. We managed to save 3 of them and they were picked up by an experienced bottle baby foster parent. I don't know if they will try to unite Mom and kittens, or decide Mom is too injured to attempt nursing.

    That is so sad.

    July 2015

    An ordinary domestic cat adopted a baby lynx called Nika at the Novosibirsk Zoo in Siberia, Russia. One of the zoo employees decided to bring her cat to the zoo after the mother of the lynx refused to feed her cub because it was the runt of the litter. The zookeeper's pet had recently had kittens and she soon started nursing the little lynx along with her own brood.

    Co-inccidently in 2014 a stray cat got into St. Petersburg Zoo (Leningrad, not FL) and befriended a lynx.

    Awwwwwww! I love this thread so much! Here is my beloved cat daughter who passed away 9 months before I got cancer. She was the most wonderful cat ever!

    The one on the top is her, the long hair is thankfully still with us and along with her sister is the light of my life!
