They are precious, Pamy, but I must stop looking at them. Must stop looking at them, or I will find myself in the same situation as SEA.

All of the furry creatures that come into contact with you and your family are so very lucky, Pamy.

Serate, still thinking about you, Eddie and Zippy???

Awwwww, thanks for the pics of the cutie pie kittens Pamy!!

I like the one pic of the kitties sleeping in the slippers too.

And I'm with Moonie, Dopey needs a little friend like Houdini/Babs.

Oh, I could just scoop them all up and love on them!! Pamy, I don't know how you manage to give any of them away. I admire you for that. I'd be wanting to keep all of them!

i just melted when I looked at all of those pictures. The slipper one is priceless!! I don't know how you managed to catch them doing that. Seems like any time my dogs do anything cute, they stop before I can take a picture!! BEAUTIFUL Kitties!

Love to see the pictures of your foster family, Pamy. The kitten in the third picture you posted looks like he or she has a darker coloring under the chin like a goatee!

Serenity, your stories about Zippy are so funny. Hope Eddie is okay.

Hi Moonie! How is Zelda and the gang?

Buddy is doing well. He came out and sat in the yard swing with me this morning for a while, but he's been indoors more than outside. I won't let him or Jujukitty outside at night any more until that 'possum goes away.

Hi MsGracie!!!:-)

Zelda and gang are great and getting used to the new dog... we rescued him from the shelter. He is an Aussie cattle dog. LOL and his name is Zip... Zip says hi to kitty Zippy! The kitties aren't crazy about him but adjusting slowly. We lost Brutus to cancer in Feb and it's still hard to think about. He was such a great cat.


I think Dopey needs to have a visit from Zip

Everyday before I go to work, I stop by the Animal Clinic by the work, and look through the windows to visit with the cats up for adoption.

There's a gorgeous little whisp of a cat that black and has hazel eyes that I just adore, but once, I'm allergic (maybe only to long hairs though) and I have Mr. Odée who would keel over if I brought his sworn enemy into his house :D

So I visit her :D

Sorry for not updating on Eddie sooner - thanks for the care, concern, and good thoughts. Friday just went from bad to worse. Took Eddie in to see the vet. He asked if Eddie was an outside cat - looked as if he'd been in a cat fight. [No it was Zippy]. Wasn't sure if his leg was broken but they could tell he had a major abscess on his leg; looked like a cat bite. They didn't want to feel around anymore on his leg until they gave him some pain medication so I was to leave him and they'd call me as soon as he was sedated and they examined him. On the way home I was having some negative feelings towards Zippy. I love him to death, but it wasn't my idea to get another cat. When I get home the vet had called, said they still weren't sure about the broken leg but needed to lance the leg for the abscess, and then would do xrays. I was still feeling upset with Zippy, but I knew I'd get over it. Was dusting the entertainment center and stepped down off the stool, right onto Zippy's tummy. His eyes bugged out and he just laid there, didn't move, didn't cry, nothing. Which is ok cuz I did enough crying for the two of us. [afraid I'd hurt him, and guilty cuz of all the angry thoughts I had when I found out he probably was the cause of Eddie's leg] Vet's office couldn't even understand me, so they called my husband on another line who called me on my cell, and got me calmed down. By the time I got Zippy to the vet he was crawling all over the car [left the cat carrier at the vet's for Eddie and we haven't gotten a 2nd one yet]. Vet checked Zipster over said all seemed well, told me Eddie had just gotten out of surgery - no broken legs, just a huge nasty abscess that was from a cat's claw - gave Zippy a lecture about not being so mean to his big brother, gave me a hug and said don't worry about it it will all be ok. [this is only the 3rd time we've been to the vet but I think we have a winner!] Went back and got Eddie around 5, he walked like a drunken soldier but headed straight for the food [which he couldn't have]. Ended up locking Zippy in the bathroom for the night only so he could have food as Eddie couldn't. By morning both were acting like usually,, tho Zippy didn't seem to be as mean to Eddie as usual.

Pamy your kitties are just adorable!

Moonie tell Zip that Zippy says hi [he's not afraid of dogs, anything for that matter except the doorbell, and that I think he is just copying Eddie and running under the bed].

Again I'm sorry I didn't get on her sooner but besides the animal problems we've had people problems, spent alot of the day yesterday at the hospital with our landlords, and I should get off her now incase Mrs. Landlord calls needing help.

Went into my mom's house this morning and her cat and dog were sleeping side by side. As soon as the dog saw me, he immediately attacked the cat (playfully) and had his whole head in his mouth. The cat never moved. As soon as I left the room, they were back to napping side by side.

Moonie, Zip is very handsome! My aunt used to show Australian Cattle Dogs in herding competitions. They are a great breed!

Poor Eddie. Wheezer can sympathize with him a bunch right now. Loki keeps pestering her and while she will put up with him for a bit, she gets pissy when he starts biting her tail.

Earlier, I noticed how quiet it was and there were ZERO kitties in the room with me. This is not a good sign. I got up and wandered into the next room to see Loki pestering Wheezer, who was trying to use the litterbox. She finally took off and was walking funny across the kitchen floor. I picked her up and she was whining in a tone I'd never heard.

I was scared so I turned her around and took her in the bathroom so I could see her backside in the mirror and, poor thing, she had a log pushed partially out of her butt.

I quickly put her back in the box and picked up Loki and locked him in the bathroom until she was finished.

Poor Wheezer - can't even go to the bathroom without being assaulted by her little brother.

That Slipper Sleeping Kittens pic is another award winner!

Serate, glad Eddie is feeling better. Poor guy. And I know what you mean about feeling guilty for having angry thoughts towards a critter for what they are doing to another of your loved ones. I was even ready to throw both my beloved Boys out the door when they were pups, cause one (or both) of them had sat next to our Matriarch (Honey Bear, who had difficulty getting around any more) and pulled all the hair out of her belly. I can remember being so livid with them. Of course, I didn't throw them out, they both wormed their way into my soul. And now, even nearly a year after losing dear Boomer to the Rainbow Bridge, I still have a hard time with one of the most devastating losses of a four-legged-friend I've ever experienced.

I've had to deal with anger at Angelina for I guess being pretty pushy , just at times when Critter is staring but not growling or hissing.. Angelina will hiss which then gets Critter going..sigh.. but I do love both cats.

Oh, poor Serate, I sooooo feel for you... I know just how I would feel in your place after accidently stepping on a companion animal, especially when I was angry. It would be awful and I would just be heartsick.

Of course, Phoebe is experienced enough to stay out from underfoot, but Emma is still learning. On the other hand, getting stepped on or kicked doesn't seem to phase her. One day while doing dishes I thought I was standing on one of Emma's toys and kicked it away only to realize it was her tail! And the silly girl thought I was playing and attacked my slipper!

Emma is learning to play fetch, and I'm thrilled. Years ago I had a friend whose cat would fetch, and I thought it was so cool!!! I can't get Emma to fetch on command yet (still working on getting her to associate the word with the action), but she will bring me a toy when she wants to play, and will fetch it anywhere from five to 25 times. About half the time she'll actually drop it into my hand. When she's tired of playing, she'll go one last time to see where it landed, but come back without it and plop down for some petting.

Sea, I also empathize with you. I had tried to bring in an adult cat about ten years ago, but Phoebe just would not accept Tess and started urine marking her territory constantly. I ended up having to give up Tess - there was just no way it was going to work, and it was just too stressful for everyone. I did find Tess an excellent home and had full visitation rights, at least until her new person moved out of state.
