a thread for crazy cat ladies! I thought maybe just pics of your own cats, and if there's not enough then just any old cat you can find!
I have 8. Technically only 5 are mine, the others think they live here. Mostly because I feed them with everybody else and they never seem to leave!

Cowgirl I think she is a Tortie, not a Calico based on her predominant coloring.
Edj3 glad to hear little miss Annie is doing better. Hope there is peace in the household. Or as much peace as can be with two young kittens around ha

edj3, That is good to hear.
Spookiesmom, beautiful.
Miss Felix is going in for a Peticure. She sounds like a little dog walking around, not a little cat. I hate to take her, she stresses out. I have tried to give her the morning pills and she doesn't want to eat. Not good. I will be glad when this is over.

Princess has adjusted fully to Nugget’s presence. And though he does tend to chase her and at times get a little rough in play, she’s okay with her baby brother. Grace is still in the not so sure mode although she does get curious at night and comes to check him out when he’s zonked! Think it’s partly jealousy because she was the baby until Nugget arrivedand she’s still slowly getting used to him being here.
If you value your freedom, thank a servicemember both serving and retired!

Reporting back in on Annie--the vet is encouraged that overall the prolapse is improving. He wants us to continue watching, applying the salve if and as the prolapse shows up again. He said that surgery for this is really dicey, it's easy to get the opening too tight and then she would strain all her life. We don't want that! So we'll keep doing as he said, and cleaning up all the little bloody butt spots with hydrogen peroxide.
Tried the tamoxifen, no thanks.

Annie stayed the night at the vet's so they can get a stool sample they 100% know is hers. They'll test that for parasites; he didn't want to dose her for parasites unless she actually has them. I hope we're able to pick her up today as Stevie is quite sad and lonely without her.
