Cats, cats, cats

Fabulous!!!

Saw this hand-done drawing on the ground while out for a walk yesterday. Because of Covid I didn't turn it over to see what steps 1 to 5 might be, but surely am intrigued!

hi

I had the sweetest call today for a foster cat. The cat was born with one eye and abandoned by his mother. The owner bottle fed him and has had him ever since. The other eye had to be removed and he's totally blind. The caller said his neighbor growing up had a blind cat and he always thought it was really cool. He's partial to black cats also, which the kitty is. Our records show he had a harness and leash when he came in, so perhaps he goes outside wearing that. He is vocal and answers to his name. I'm hoping for a happy ending.

Wren44, I hope so too

We had a ginger cat who had to have an eye removed when he was a kitten. It didn't stop him from laying on the deck rail with all 4 paws hanging down. It's not quite a story up. He also jumped from there to the top of the fence which was just a narrow board. His favorite toy ever was a hot wheels car left by a nephew.

Too Funny!!!

For cats in foster care there's a number for people to call who want to meet a cat. I do Mondays. Since Friday the number of calls has gone out of control. Five on Friday, 6 on Sat, 7 Sun, 8 Monday, 9 Tues and today it was 13 calls. Most were for a very fluffy white purebred who didn't like the new baby. But really! Each call requires a call back and an email to the foster parent and setting up a time to adopt. It's almost a full time job. I suggested we think about having 2 people per day. It's good that so many people realize they want/need a cat. I'm hoping they don't decide it's too much trouble when this crisis is over.

I feel so bad for animals who get dumped in a shelter or rescue for stupid things like that. The poor creatures didn’t ask to lose the only home they may have ever known. Some people make my head hurt!

One of the funniest photos I have of my old beloved soulmate kitty, a rangy orange male with bowed legs named Tex, was taken a few days after we brought my first baby home. We found him seated in the baby's fabric covered "bouncy chair" in exactly the same position as the baby would be seated-- butt in chair, with his white belly up, and his splayed hind legs in the leg places.... Like, "hey, no biggie, I can do this too."
