What adorable cats.
I'm so sorry about the ones you lost, but it looks like you all had wonderful times together, so remember that you gave them all wonderful lives.
We have a good number of cats at our local shelter and I love talking to them when I walk by. Its hard to pet them because I have to wash my hands between each one since the cats in the back are often sick. Some of my favorites are Shanelle, the kitten with the broken leg, and Rags. There are...
That's awesome you helped so many cats.
Yeah, we have six cats (if you include the feral tomcat that comes around sometimes) and then seven dogs! They are all adored and given the best care we can afford. We need to get our cats wormed, but we make sure they always have food, water, shelter...
That's tough. That's why she didn't want to take her cats to the shelter either, because she was afraid they would just be put down. Our shelter doesn't put down cats unless they have a terminal illness, but because of that they often can't take in cats. We've had a number of friendly tomcats...
I had one friend who had something like over 30 cats and he funny thing is, most of them were drop-offs, she hadn't even asked for them. People saw she had a few cats and would drop off other cats for her to care for, thinking she could do it. She was feeding 30 cats!!! That's a lot of food. The...
Love is the only reason we can put up with any of our animals annoying antics.
I am at the doctors with two assisted hatching chicks tucked under my shirt. Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night.
I love all the pictures! These are my favorites. I especially like the one where they are all taking up your bed because that is what our animals do. Imagine having seven dogs all trying to sit next to you at the same time.
Congrats on the new cat!
Barn cats are awesome, they love to play out-doors and often they will begin to tame down to people with time and kindness. I know how fearful out-door cats can be, so the most important thing is to not stare right at them, not walk towards them in a straight line...
Cat bites have a lot of dangerous bacteria in them, so to prevent an infection that needs medical attention you might want to try soaking the bite in hot water a couple times a day. Watch for signs of the swelling spreading as this can be a sign you'll need to go on antibiotics. I know how bad...
Spaying her should help. The funny thing is we found that our tomcats were all nice except the one that was neutered at a young age. Same with our female cats. The one female spayed at a young age is grumpy and the two spayed after having a litter are either timid or friendly. Actually, one cat...
Yes, ouch. Cats can hurt!
Poor thing, loosing her family. She was lucky to have you there to help her. Because kittens are deaf as babies I doubt that is what is causing her fear. I've found cats to be very fearful of loud noises whether they have had bad experiences or not. I have three barn...
His eyes weren't open yet. But I LOVE when those little precious kitten eyes do begin to see the world for the first time.
Those precious little eyes opening.
I think this is Ivory. One eye is still partially closed, the other just opened. At this stage I believe they can barely see...
