    Thinking of you & the traveling cats, CAM.

    Yes, the tree climbing/refrigerator sitting cat is my naughty guardian angel. Here is another picture of her I found when digging for the others.image

    This is their mum. Wish I could figure out how to share facebook videos here; there's a couple of her with the babies and they're adorable. Four more pregnant momcats ready to pop any day.

    Mommy cat is so tiny. Glad she was able to have her babies on a soft clean blanket and not on the cold hard ground.

    Love the kittens. What a beautiful tortoiseshell momma.

    Wren any luck finding your cat's harness?

    I felt like you did when Arthur lost his anti-birding collars!

    Nice cat story, My cousin in UK long been a cat person but married a birdwatcher, cats at home didn't seem to be on the agenda. They have a son age 9. Only child, lonely. Cousin raises possibility of pet, cat a better option than dog as they both work long days. Surprisingly bird hubby LIKES cats, just not keen on unnecessary carnage. Fast forward to: Trip to shelter last week to choose rescue cat. Their son says the cat they choose is to be called "Lucky". When they got to the shelter there was a rehabilitated road accident victim, (lost his tail in the accident, it had to be amputated). Guess what the shelter had called him - "Lucky".

    Guess what cat they chose Smile

    KiwiCatMom- Momma cat is so cute! I wish I could adopt her. My son is looking for a tort/calico kitty. Possible? But I'm in the US.

    FF, The next door neighbor found it on his large front porch. So happy we don't have to spend $$ for another one.

    Hooray at harness find! GG - Yea! Happy you're here! FF - love the adoption story. That's so great.

    Moni - torti mum actually has a home to go back to. When people can't cope with kittens for whatever reason, Kitten Inn takes the pregnant moms (or moms and new babies) and takes care of them (foster care usually) until the kittens are weaned and over 1 kg. The kittens get desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, flea'd and wormed, and adopted out. The momcat gets desexed, microchipped, etc., and goes back to her owner. That's what happened with the momcat I fostered and I'm still in touch with her owner. :)

    KiwiCatMom- thanks for the information. I am very happy to hear she has a home! Sad it will not be mine. My son wanted to get her today! Haha, he would take all the kittens too! He is going to be the 'crazy cat guy'! I've kept him to 3 cats, 2 dogs and 20 chickens!

    Moni - we have 8 cats and it's largely because my husband is a crazy cat guy. I love them too and don't object, but he's the real soft touch at our place. We're buying a place that comes with chickens - may have to get some advice from you!

    Just be aware that torties are know for "tortitude" and can be in your face. That said, my heart kitty was a torti.

    KiwiCatMom- I am sure you will enjoy the chickens. They all have their own personalities and contrary to popular belief, they are intelligent creatures and are aware of everything! All of my pets peacefully coexist, but that sometimes makes for some very funny moments! We do not eat our girls, just the eggs, so they really are pets. I will be more than happy to lend any advice I am able. How many are you inheriting?

    Not sure how many; 8 or 10. The eggs are food, but not the chickens. They are pets. Will be interesting to see how they do with the cats, and vice versa. :) We don't move until Nov, but I will definitely hit you up for advice. :)

    FF I love the lucky story! Great the cat got a home. I love all the photos. We use revolution and find the stuff to be excellent at killing fleas. Wren- you are lucky to have found the harness! We must have put 20 cat collars with tags on our old man Percy and he's ditched them all. His motto.. no cat collars! He's 15 and not micro chipped since back then at the humane society they didn't do it. Everyone else in the house has a chip and a collar. Off to bed it's almost 1am.

    Awww Mozie. So cute. We made it to FL. Kitties all did great on the trip. Starkist is hiding under the blankets on my bed. She won't budge. If I lift the blankets she burrows in deeper, she's traumatized. Dusty and Ralph were fine, being all swag walking around the new place. Ralph is now asleep behind the fridge. We can't find Dusty but I know he hasn't gotten out.

    So glad to be here :-)
