Just had to post a pic of the cutest kitten alive. Her name is Tigerlily and she was just listed as available at the shelter. I'm partial to calico and black kitties.

I just showed my partner the picture of Tigerlily, and she said 'omg lets get her!'. Lol it would be a long trip home for her. Hopefully she's too cute to be at the shelter long

Bat Cat! Ooh he looks intense....... 😾

Goldie, that was my reaction to Tiger lily too. I don't think she'll last thru Monday. She has already had phone calls.
Love the bat cat, but always wonder if the owner was shredded later. I don't think I could get anything like that on Squeakers. At Christmas, we have little scarves for the cats to wear while adopters are there.

Wren, My heart kitty was a big and manly guy...... who loved dressing up and didn't mind hats! I think the Bat Cat head gear would take an extra special cat though. And some thick gloves! Squeakers wears a harness; I bet he wouldn't mind a nice shirt ☺
Hope Tigerlily finds the purrfect home. Christmas scarves for the kitties - cute!

Tigerlily is adorable!
Bat cat has the best mustache I've seen on a cat and looks great.

Shepkitty - I know a few cat breeders who would die to have that batman hat. While I'm not one to dress my kitties up, these breeders have annual balls (affiliated with cat shows) for that very purpose! That hat is just too cool (I still won't do it).

This is Charlie. I took care of him last week and what a sweetie. He is back from his Big Adventure. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
Kaya, I am so sorry for your loss. How nice that you made a donation to the shelter.

Shelter update: People brought in a cat to be euthanized, saying it was 15yo and belonged to a homeless person. Officers took the cat and told them only the owner can request that. Volunteers have fallen in love with him. He's 21lbs and aptly named Cuddles. Walked around the shelter on a leash and was totally chill. Now he has an adoption pending. The real owner never turned up, so I hope that person is ok.

Maybe the people who brought him in were the real owners but too ashamed to admit they were dumping their old cat?

You know sometimes folks do insane things to get rid of a pet they can't care for anymore. I am glad they didn't euthanize the cat and he probably isn't even 15. Happy endings.
We had to euthanize our dear Percy cat at age 16 from kidney failure, anemia and hyperthyroid disease several weeks ago. It was fiercely hard bawled my eyes out. The vet could see he lost 1/2 his weight, drinking constantly, labs off, peeing bloody urine-- it was time. Interestingly the same vet gave us a run for the money when a year ago we euthanized our 18 year old terrier mix for dementia and incontinence. She looked good for 18, but the vet wasn't the one awakened at 2-4 am every night and he wasn't cleaning puddles and poopies every morning for a year. The vet made us feel kind of bad that if we just locked her up she could keep going.. but she barked her fool head off to get visitors at 2 am and we were all so sleep deprived. I finally decided that senile dementia in a dog was reason enough. Our 18 year old dog was happily clueless and we stayed right with her. The owners know.
Now that Percy is gone our youngest cat Emmy bully's our old toothless grey tabby Zoey. Zoey is 13 and gimpy shoulder and has no teeth, she can't defend herself. Emmy will swat at Zoey and chase her under the bed. She is just a crabby jerk. Any suggestions to make this relationship better? Sometimes I wonder if we shouldn't get a kitten to divert attention and give Emmy someone to playwith. Emmy is only 8 and in the peak of health. The problem is I am at the end of my life and not doing well, so I will be out of the picture. If the relationship of Emmy and kitten goes against Zoey then the poor old 13 year old lady will be miserable. My DD3 would love another kitten. Since you are all cat/kitten lovers what wisdom do you have on this situation?
It's snowing like the dickens outside! So pretty. A lovely blanket of white on all the houses and trees.

Hello all. I am still around and pop up every now and then. So sory about the fur babies who have gone. We had our old beautiful boy put to sleep last year after he had a stroke. The vet was wonderful and had us hold him while she injected him. He was 18.
I had intended to get a companion for our Gus who is nearly 12 but so far haven't.

Rosevalley - i brought a kitten home to my "widowed" 8 year old female. It was a total energy mismatch. I ended up getting a second kitten and everyone is happy. There's a tiny piece of info

hi Alyson --sorry for your loss. Your 12 year old might be happier alone from my cat observations

Alyson, love the picture of Gus. What a wonderful smile. Thanks for posting.

Alyson, Gus is adorable. Unless you think he's missing a companion, I would leave well enough alone. It's so hard to lose an old family member. I'm glad you were able to love him to the end.
Rose, I think a kitten might be too much for Emmy. Did she play with Percy? If she did, a 3-5yo cat might be a better match. Do you have room to give the older girl a place of her own where Emmy can't come? There is some stuff called Feliway and is supposed to keep cats calm by spreading pheromones of happiness and content. I have seen collars and spray plus something that plugs in like an air freshener. I'm not convinced it works, but we use it at the shelter. I agree that falling snow is really pretty. I could just sit and look at it all day.

Feliway worked great for me! At one time, my 9 year old Emma had a "friend" Ms Boo. Also a tuxedo of the same age. (She died of FIP in 2013.) Ms Boo was the dom in the relationship. (Oy, two females. Never again.) I would plug in the Feliway atomizer and harmony existed. Otherwise Ms Boo was just mean to poor Emma (and Emma is no slouch when it comes to being a dominant now in her absence, but just to outsiders). I could tell when the atomizer ran out of juice just by Ms Boo's behavior. It worked at my house!

Feliway is an excellent suggestion. I used Feliway on Oreo (who had a spraying problem). I know it worked for us because when the Feliway was plugged in.....no spraying. Diffuser empty....spraying, like clockwork.

Where do you buy this miracle substance? I will definitely try it. Off to chemoland and then I will check back.

My vet has it, but you can order it off Amazon or most pet supplies stores and websites.
