    My kitty news: due to some travel my son took over kitty duties for me for about a week, and he is now TOTALLY in love with my kitties. (I guess they are now OUR kitties.) I needed to be out of the house for them to totally bond to him. It makes me so happy that he knows them, sees their individuality and quirks, etc. Now they run to him for greeting and sniffing when he walks in the door.

    My two sisters were born in a creek bed to a feral Mom -- and though they are VERY personable thanks to fantastic fosterer, they still have some wild traits like a major sniff examination of their humans every time one of us comes home: shoes, hands, face, removed jacket, etc... all things that went outside get thoroughly nasally checked out. Also they both flinch and jump to their feet at any sudden noise, slammed door etc, like there is something dangerous afoot... Yet then they both relax again immediately. Super affectionate but that systemic wariness is still in them.

    We have adopted out so many hard to place foster cats that the foster parents are in withdrawals. They sent an email this morning asking for foster parents for 2 cats. An hour and 20 minutes later they sent another that the foster parents had been found and that they appreciated all the emails they had received. This may be a record for adult placement time.

    Thanks ladies I will pass along your approval to Little Bitty. She will expect her due.

    Loved the tiny kitten. Felix is on my lap and thinks the Grand Cat looks like a calico. Similar marking to Miss Felix.

    I think we would call her a tortoiseshell at the shelter. Torties have the colors run together and calicos have distinct spots and a lot of white. Torties are known for "tortitude" and want their own way. Grandcat is beautiful.

    Wren44, I didn't know that. Interesting.

    Mommy - I love that picture! I think that's what Snickers would like to do to Chloe. She's gotten better and hasn't been bullying Chloe the past few days but yesteray she did take a swipe at Chloe "just because."

    Wren - I had no idea that's how you tell the difference between torti and calico!

    Torties do not have any white. If there's any white, it's called a calico.

    Shycat, You are right. I thought a little bit of white was ok on a tortie, but I stand corrected. In that case I've had 2 calico cats, one of which I thought was a tortie. In any case, she was my heart kitty and I miss her 10 years later.

    Alannah watching TV, how cute. Our dear Ivy used to watch programs with animals & loved to "chase" them on screen, particularly birds.

    Got a good laugh out of the "cat arm" sign. Cats do the darnedest things!

    Hi all. I was advised I should check out this Thread after I posted the post below on another Thread. -------

    Do you guys ever think about what your pets think?? I have a cat. It is just me and him in our house. Today he was lying on the bed watching me. And I got to thinking about what he could be thinking. My cat's thoughts---- "Before mom (me) would get up early and rush around getting dressed in her uniform (when I worked I had a uniform I wore). Then she would leave and be gone all day-that was kind of lonely. Then suddenly she lost her fur (my hair loss with chemo). And she got skinny and pale. Then I noticed she looked different, she lost a body part (my boob). She doesn't wear that uniform anymore and she is home more (job loss). Then she would be gone for a few hours each day, not all day like before (volunteer activities after retirement). Now she is home ALL THE TIME and she wears her sweatpants everyday (COVID restrictions). Humans are weird." ----- I guess I am silly for thinking about this stuff.
