    Taking foster cat Rusty to the vet to have his hernia fixed tomorrow. I don't think they realize how early 7:30 is for retired folks. He will really miss breakfast. He eats like a horse.

    LOL. Spookie wakes me up around 7 ish, but I don't have to BE anywhere that early.

    Good luck to Rusty! Bookmark is too cute!

    This may get the cute award of the day though. :) This is one of the foster kittens learning to drink kitten milk. Tastes better if you immerse yourself.

    Good morning all!

    Terre, you're right that is the cutest pic ever! Not happy to read that you're staying in a "no tell motel" with razor wire next door. When do you get to stay at the 5* place?

    Diana, love the torties, they are my fav's. Best cat we ever had was a tortie, so they are close to my heart. They also have an attitude like no other.

    Jean, Handsome Demon is just that, you can see it in his eyes.

    Thanks for the smiles this morning ladies. Love it, cheers, Dee

    Dee, Now they're trying to say torties attitude is a myth. Ha! Spoken by people who have never lived with them. At the shelter we call it tortitude. My heart kitty was a torti.

    Wren, I wonder who "they" are & I agree with you that if "they" have never lived with a torti then they have no idea what tortitude is. Every single one them that I have ever known has had it in spades! :)

    Beautiful torties! Our Moppet is a tortie. She's really funny. She's my snuggle bunny lap kitty. But when it's dinner time, she is LOUD! I've always had super sweet torties.

    Handsome/Demon is lovely...beautiful tabby!

    Dee - glad you liked the picture! I am at the no tell motel until Thurs night. They're letting me go home for the weekend - feels like a prisoner release program. :) I have a much better hotel here in Auckland next week, thank heaven. I don't know why everything is booked!

    This was a post from one of the fosterers. It cracked me up. WARNING - DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU READ THIS - YOU MAY CHOKE

    My 2 kittens will have finished anti-biotics and eye drops on Saturday so therefore will be ready for the next step on the road to their fur-ever homes. Jody / Susan can i please return them back on Saturday afternoon as I will not get a chance on Sunday and we will not be home next week and therefore can not keep them any longer...

    BTW the ginger cat will be so please to see the back of me. after 4 weeks of me shoving tablets down his throat as well as putting things in his eyes, he is one nasty kitten when we do this to him. (He was also the first kitten the vet has experienced who "shot" out a thermometer while having his temperature taken and breaking it on the floor!)

    we have four cats- one I picked and three who picked us. We have two blacks, one mackerel tabby and one orange tabby. I'm a sucker for tabbies! One of my black kitties, Topham, was shot with a pellet gun last August five days after my BMX. He recovered, now he has a mass on his brain. We are hoping it is toxoplasmosis and not cancer. Poor guy is getting meds throughout the day.

    More pictures if kitties, especially kittens! Kitten therapy is always good

    Here is Handsome again, showing off his beautiful tummy. He loves his mama. He's a foster failure. I turned him back into the Rescue when it was time and went back a week later to bring him back home!

    Handsome is exactly that! He's so beautiful. Love the red in his fur and what a sweet face. Too bad he's aggressive to the 2 females. Hope it's a workable situation.

    We have a Siamese mix with light blue eyes, a big muscular cat 12 pounds like a puma. Emmy's a bully and just pesters and intimidates our 2 older tabby's (15 year old brown and red tabby Percy and 12 year old grey tabby Zoey). The two tabby's get along famously and Emmy at age 8 is odd cat out. Sigh.. she's sweet by herself. Hope she mellows with age!

    I love looking at all the pictures.

    Caught one of the twins last night. She is totally paralyzed by fear. I have been going in the room & talking to her every 15 mins. Any other ideas or is time the answer.

    can you get close enough to offer really yummy kitty treats? Have food, water, bed , boxfor her to investigate.

    have all that for her, she's not at all interested in food, tried wet food, dry food, salmon, chicken. Just stays frozen in the corner.

    poor baby. I do think time is the answer. I do think you should talk to her soothingly regularly and leave found. Eventually she will come around. You have to be very patient though

    A small dish of water with a few drops of Rescue Remedy in it? It will relax her a little bit. Maybe a towel or blanket. So sad, bless you for caring.

    I can't blame BlackKitty for wedging herself in the corner thusly! That's pretty much how both of my current kitties reacted to being in my home, and they weren't true ferals, either of them! Just pissed off at being thrown into a strange environment without their consent. A soft woolie blanket and a bowl of water with soothing tinctures sounds like a good start. And keep trying foods as available. Tuna? Shrimp?
