Missing in action

Mom has been busy, and we havent had to much time to, as Mom has been running around like a crazy person. Mom has been helping some sick kitties. She will not let me downstairs. She said it was to dangerous and that we could get sick. Mom has also had a few kittens visit since the last time I was able to write. We had Kitt and Kat
Kitt and Kat are brothers that visited for about two weeks. Kitt is the darker one, he was more outgoing and loves to play. Kat is a little my shy, but just as playful. They were adopted into a really nice home. They have an older kitty that lives with them, and Mom said that they are doing really well in their new home.

We also had a little girl kitty visit, her name was Shannon. Shannon is a beautiful little girl, she was part orange tiger and part gray tiger. She was adopted a week or so ago, by a nice family and her new name is Autumn. The little girl that adopted her was so happy.

And finally this little girl is Bonnie. Mom has really fallen in love with this little girl. Mom has decided that Bonnie is the last addition to our permament family. She is also very playful.

There is so much more that has happened, but I have to act like I am taking a nap...Mom is coming back upstairs from taking care of the sick kitties.

Just look what mom brought home

Alright, I know Mom helps out other kitties and sometimes they stay with us. But they are usually our size. This little pint-sized ball of furr, is scary. I know, in the picture, he looks really nice, calm and would be nice to have around. But I gotta tell you, he is scary! At first he was hissing and swatting at us. Now he chases us. He has little sharp teeth and even sharper claws. He also plays almost all the time. Yesterday, he discovered Tammi's little balls of paper, today he discovered MY TAIL!!!

Mom says he will grow, but I am not sure. I hope he does.

Mom got this today...

Mom got an e-mail from one of our previous fosters today...

Hi, you might remember me as "Mike," they call me Neo now and I used to room with another kitty friend of mine named "Justin." We left New York for CT in mid April and I now live in Norfolk, CT with two older female cats (who sometimes think I'm OK), and two human types who seem to take pretty good care of me as the food seems to be good and I might have gained about a half of a pound. My biggest compliant though is that I am not allowed outside, unless I am wearing a humiliating harness that isn't very dignified for such a young man such as myself who is used to just running around at will!! I do enjoy looking out the windows, and if a bug happens to get near me look out, as I'll eat him! Otherwise, you can see from these pictures that I'm doing fine and I appreciate your combined efforts to get me to where I am today, which hopefully will be for the balance of my 8 lives, as I know I used one of them up when I was wondering the scary streets of the Bronx last December. Hugs and kisses, Neo

Fluffy Bunny

Mom looked out the window a little while ago and discovered this fluffy bunny in the back yard. Tammi and I had been watching it for a little while. The Bunny was just taking a nap in the shade of the trees, and wasnt bothered by us at all.



Last night there was a really horrible sound outside and we all went to look aout the window. We couldn't see much, but after a little while, the cat that looks like a big version of Duke, went up the road. The cat went behind the yard and the sound happened again. Mom now thinks that the bad sound was a baby bunny.

I dont know what the big cat wanted with the little bunny, but I would just want to say hello to the bunny, give it a good sniff and possibly a bath. But Mom said that the bunny will probably not like that at all. Mom says she will have to put a fence around the little garden that she is growing vegitables, so the bunny doesnt eat them.

SPOTS!

Mom may not be partial to color, but she does love SPOTS! This is Sam, he has been with us for a few weeks now (Mom wouldnt get off the computer for me to post about him) and he is now visiting us upstairs during the day. Sam is a nice guy, and boy, does he love to play! He plays so much, that Mom has to put him downstairs when she goes to sleep, just so she can sleep.
Sam is a well rounded boy, he can cuddle, be lovey, gets along with us cats and humans, and as I said...play, all in one day. Mom likes having Sam here, she will miss him when he goes off to his new home. But we always get more furr-einds to visit.

Hercules

This gorgeous guy is Hercules. For the most part Mom is not partial to colors, but these orange guys have a special place in her heart. Hercules is a great name for this guy, he has gone through a couple lives so far but he has alot to look forward to from now on. He is so friendly. Mom would open his cage and spend a good while just brushing and giving scritches.

He got trapped under a fence and really hurt his back. You can kinda tell from some of the pictures, that his hair has yet to grow back all the way on his back. Hercules was only visiting for a few days, he is now at another foster-home. He was a nice guy though, and we will miss him.

What Mom found under the Stove

Mom was looking for Dex's new collar, that he was able to get off during the day...this is what she found under the stove instead...



There are 14 mice in that little pile. Mom gave one to Tammy and put the rest away for another day. Mom did find the collar...under the dinning room table.

Happy Birthday to...US!

~


Well, Mom says that June 1st is all our birthdays. She says that we are special because we are "rescued" and all our birthdays fall on one day! So Happy Birthday to all my kitty sisters and brothers who share this wonderful day with us!

Great News!

Mom has decided that she wants to keep Dex. Of course, we knew all along that Dex would be staying with us. Sometimes it takes Mom longer to figure things out. Anyways, Dex will be put onto the sidebar as a contributor and will occasionally write on here.

Dex is a really nice boy. Very friendly and not pushy. He loves getting baths and often will come up and push his head under our chins. He is a little scared of big feet, so he often runs when the humans are walking around.Dex loves naping on the "loft", and loves looking out the window. He loves jumping onto the bed or couch to get some love from Mom. I just know that Dex is a great addition to our house.

How to....

...make a cat crazy!



Put a chipmunk just outside the porch.

Seriously, Mom let us have the porch almost all the time now, and we can watch the birds, squirrels...and a chipmunk. She still will not let us out to play with them...though, I have tried.
