Cats, cats, cats

lol lol

very true statement.. as she was falling into her peaceful sleep I said that exact phrase"she had lots of personality".

I have had many cats over my.life. many I needed to end their life due to illness or accidents. This was my oldest daughters first experience ,with the vet,seeing it from beginning to end. She is better tonight but it's been a long and sad day.

Condolences to your and your family. They sure leave a hole when they depart.

GAMomma Sincere condolences on your loss. From my heart to yours. XXX

Now dealing with a stray who's decided that zie wants to move into our basement and hopefully into our house despite the fact that there's already two very possessive kitties standing on top of the door to the basement responding in kind to every aspersion cast on their mother. Husband and I both heartbroken about BasementKitteh's cries and our own kittehs' reaction. I don't think Mr. BoyCat's ever brought me so many gifts of faux mousies.

Thanks so much ladies.. I am completely a believer in open and closing doors. Putting Levy down was so hard for my daughter. She is 21 and is a wonderful person. She has this amazing and tender heart. She makes daily strides to battle depression,medication free. She works full-time at a very demanding job. She is NOT the typical 21 yr old. She lives at home still. Pays rent and helps in so many other ways. She is the care taker of the cats. She buys all the food,litter,vet bills. The vet did not charge us for putting Levy down. This touched Mackenzie so much. She sent a thank you card Friday evening. Tuesday the vet called to see how she was doing. We left with many years still coming. He asked her if she wanted to be a new cat Mom..they have a foster program and one of the foster homes had tornado damage. We live in Albany GA and we have had 3 E3-E4 tornados in Jan. It's been a very difficult community time. Anyway she went over Tuesday night. She met Zeus. He is a little pipsqueek. He really is a sweet little thing. So.. she asked if we could just outright adopt. He was thrilled. He knows about our financial hardship. I just went back to work,part time at first. No bills every stopped coming ,lol

We adopted him.. he is sooooooo cute..

Here is the second part.. the vet is a younger guy.. 28..Mackenzie is 21.. while there Dr.Green asked her where she enjoyed eating and fun stuff. She was very honest and said,I don't really go out to eat. I will get take out and veg with my cat and watch Anime. She was dead serious. Today he asked how Zeus was doing and he asked if he could stop by to see him. My child is so clueless. He came over tonight with a cat tree. A cat tree! Those things are expensive! Anyway he asked he if she wanted to join him for a late supper. She was still in scribe,he was too. She was so shocked but said yes. She came home about an hour later. She was so happy.. she is going to his office Friday to help with pet care. Then dinner after.

It is so hard to put into words. As I said she is 21.. still a virgin,never been in love,never even close. She's had a few boyfriends but nothing serious. She said tonight as he said good bye he kissed he hand. It was very endearing.

Ok off the sappy stuff.. here is the new man of the house

Oh, what a wonderful story; sweet new pet, a friend.....and maybe more!

haha feeling.. one of my other kids is a spanish loving kid. She rallied to get an honors Spanish class started because she likes it, who that little freak of nature is is beyond me,I struggle with English..lol she speaks to Zeus in Spanish all the time for the Hey Zeus sound too..lol

A story that ended happily: black stray cat hanging around our neighborhood decided to break into our basement through a broken window. Two rounds of eviction and breaking back in to cry plaintively at our basement door later, we caved and fed/watered the poor thing. After a few gulps of kibls and water, he wanted nothing more than to climb into our arms and purr there, despite our own feline overlords' insistence that BasementCat NOT NOT NOT move in with us. Through the wonders of social media, my husband found the cat's owner, while BasementCat was pouring out his woes to me.

Owner rushed over....she cried, BasementCat cried, we cried, our cats peered out through the balustrade and growled "He can't move in with us, run along now."

cute story queenie :

nice end to that story

Husband and I are still tearing up a bit whenever we think of reuniting BasementCat with his owner.

Henry is still waiting for spring!
