    I love this thread. I am starting my journey in June with chemo before surgery - and I run a non-profit cat rescue/adoption organization. i loved seeing the pics of the kitties. This is Jamel (aka Munchie) - we saved him as a baby, helped bottle feed him and now look how big and strong at 5 years old. We decided to adopt him, well I did and just informed my husband he was ours!

    I tried today to take Conor's first "Maine Coon style" photo but I'm afraid I'll have to ask someone to take a pic of me holding him as it's very hard to hold AND take a photo in the mirror. He's still young (2 1/2 years old) and sometimes they don't reach max size until 4-5 y.o. But here he is, lynx "sideburns" and all. And' he's not fat, he's just fluffy. For realz. And I just love those big paws.

    And this is a more "normal" photo of him with my (fat) whippet

    BoobsBgone - I do rescue, too. And my Gus is one who came to me at 4 weeks, and never left (spoiled rotten, but sweet). I love your Munchie! I'm also about 2 months ahead of you on this journey. I have 8 rounds of chemo before surgery and I've just finished round 5. So three more to go. Good luck to you.

    FF - Arthur is very handsome. :)

    Sea - Conor is a fluffy handful! So very sweet. I love the big fluffies. I see he matches your whippet quite well. :)

    Notice the startling similarities to this children's story by Lynley Dodd, which was one of my children's favourites

    The Clepto kitty is a local celebrity. :) His people put the camera on his so they could prove to their neighbors that they were not stealing. Now people who are missing things, go to their house to look.

    My fuzzy ladybug chilling. He always makes this face when I take photos of him as in "you're up to something. I know you are"

    This is Toulouse....the picutres are out of order....but the bottom is when he was a baby and the top is more current. He loves to sit on my lapt top when I'm working. :) He's a munchkin kitty, not sure that is noticable but he has tiny short legs.

    There's a campaign here to put orange collars on indoor cats. The originator thinks that lost cats are not found because people think it's just an ordinary outside cat. The orange collar would be a tip that the cat shouldn't be there. He made a lot of money from a internet game about cats and wanted to help cats with some of it. I got Squeakers an orange collar. Had to get a dog collar for it to fit. He seems to like it. I'm going to add a bell.

    I posted almost 3 months ago about the shelter getting in 5 tiny cold kittens. We managed to pull 2 of them thru their ordeal. Thought you might like to see their reach for adoption photo. Onyx and Coal. Adopted immediately.

    Wren - that is so tough! Cold kittens are so hard to bring back. Way to go! They are simply precious!

    I love Toulouse, too! He reminds me of Zorro, a kitten I fostered. Love the black and whites.

    QMC - sleeping cats - do NOT disturb. I always go in a do belly rubs on Gus. He just gives me the most disgusted look!

    Wren what a stunning pair! Beautiful photo.

    Great idea on the orange collars hope it will help a few lost cats to get found.

    My brats scared the living day lights out of me this morning! They are all inside cats, and I woke up to find that they had managed to push the screen out of a window in the kitchen and they ALL got out. 3 of them are very skittish, so I was so worried I would not get them back. But I went outside and called, and everyone came running, except Fia. She's kind of chunky so I knew she would not be leap fences, but she could probably squeeze through the picket fence I have. I ran all over the house looking for her, then went outside again, and there she was sitting under the patio chair, looking at me like, "Goodness, what a fuss!" I live on a busy street, so this could have been a disaster. Thankfully it did not. Phew. The screen will be fixed STAT - for now the window is closed.

    This is where Gus SHOULD be nightly...

    So happy they were all OK and came back when called. Sometimes inside cats freak and hide when they get outside. Then they're too scared to respond to calling. Good idea to keep the window closed in the meantime.

    Seachain ~ Conor is HUGE! And those big mitts of his...oooh....He is lovelyimage So cute all your critters match.

    Feelingfeline ~ Has Arthur become less camera shy? Such a handsome fellow. He's BIG! He takes up most of the bed! Does he have it to himself at night or does he share with DD? Love the Klepto Cat. I never knew the story of Slinky Malinky. Funny when life imitates art image My kids would have adored that book when they were little. Looking forward to sharing the video with my 4 year old niece. She loves kitties. Need to get the book for her. Thank you for posting it!

    Tang ~ Toulouse looks "all business"; is he always so serious? When DS was a toddler he would say "kittyboard" instead of keyboard. Very appropriate for your "lap-top" kitty!

    Queenie ~ That's some hardcore napping! It must be so hard to resist loving on those silky soft looking babies when they so clearly do not want to be disturbed.

    Wren ~ The orange collar idea is great! It can be so hard to see a collar if it matches the cat's coat or if it is longhaired. How big is Squeakers to need a dog size collar? All these giant kitties.....I am jealous image

    Does Squeakers mind the bell on his collar? My heart cat loooved bells. He would do a proud high-step with a little shimmy to it so he could hear his collar jingle. And he would happily bounce around the house with his jingle toys in his mouth. Also was his favorite way to wake me up! So nice to hear the happy ending to Onyx and Coal's story.

    CJ ~ How absolutely terrifying! Wonder what it was that was so enticing outside? Thank goodness the kitties stayed in the yard! GUS image

    Shepkitty, Squeakers is 16 lbs. We're hoping we can get him down to 14. He has a very stocky build and a short tail. He comes when he's called and walks on a leash. Very doggy kitty.

    I'm officially a crazy cat lady. I'm going to the shelter to adopt a very sweet kitty who will be hospice. She's on the hit list for today, so I'm hoping they get my messages to keep her alive until I adopt her late this afternoon. Very sweet tortie with end stage kidney disease and a heart murmur. My guess is that she has 6mos to 1 yr of relative comfort left. Other volunteers have offered to help with costs of special food and fluids she'll need. We tried to get her foster hospice status, but were unsuccessful.

    Awww @ kitty Wren. So sweet of you to do.

    As of last week, Kitten Inn has desexed 1000 cats and kittens this year. It's been a warmer than usual winter, and apparently that's causing the kitten season to never end. Kitten Inn took in 14 kits on Friday and a pregnant cat. It's winter. Cats are not supposed to be pregnant this time of year. So on it goes. I'm headed into Wellington to direct a calendar photo shoot at a boxing gym. This wasn't even my idea and I have no clue how I ended up in charge of it. And I have no idea what I'm doing. So wish me luck!

    Kiwi - that is awesome what the Kitten Inn is doing! We had a warmer winter than usual as well, and had no break in kittens. We've even incorporated trap neuter and release programs at the places where the kittens seem to come from most, but it did not make a dent. Anyway, just commisserating. Good luck with your photo shoot. I would love to see some of the photos. :)
