So happy to hear everyone kitties are feeling better! Now all those owners have to get all better, too!!

Christmas night my SIL was saying the only "being" who would be around her when she was sick was their cat which they inherited from their son when he was no longer allowed to keep her in an apartment he was renting a few years back. SIL said Nimbus is not very friendly or overly nice at all and she always hides when guests come and will come and explore everything once they leave. That's when she went into how faithful and loving she'd been while she was sick and how impressed she was with her. She couldn't get over just how cuddly she was! SIL is a nurse and believe you me, Nimbus gained major points with SIL for her caring actions while she was sick!

Red - Misha manages to ball up whatever she can when she makes her "laps" around the house at night. LOL - nothing stays in place and toys, well you just never know where you'll find them. The other night I was sleeping on the couch and felt something small hit me - I "think" in the face since I did feel it! LOL After Misha came running I realized it was a hair tie she was flinging around. Nothing like a kitty landing on the middle of you and then leaping off! Sometimes it's not so comfy! LOL

I adopted two four-month old black kittens on Monday. The one in the red collar has a little bit of white on his chest, so I named him Spot. I named the one in the blue collar Trouble; I'm sure y'all can figure out why...

Shoot, didn't realize the photo resizing software would do that. Well, at least it covers up Spot's private parts. He is such a s!ut. :-)

Congrats Pris!!! They are so cute!! You will have lots of fun with them. You are so smart to adopt two kittens so they can tire each other out and (somewhat) stay out of trouble...

Allegedly an Ohio cat dialed 911 when his owner upended his wheel chair.

Cat Calls 911 to Help Owner, Police Say

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police aren't sure how else to explain it. But when an officer walked into an apartment Thursday night to answer a 911 call, an orange-and-tan striped cat was lying by a telephone on the living room floor. The cat's owner, Gary Rosheisen, was on the ground near his bed having fallen out of his wheelchair.

Rosheisen said his cat, Tommy, must have hit the right buttons to call 911.

"I know it sounds kind of weird," Officer Patrick Daugherty said, unsuccessfully searching for some other explanation.

Rosheisen said he couldn't get up because of pain from osteoporosis and ministrokes that disrupt his balance. He also wasn't wearing his medical-alert necklace and couldn't reach a cord above his pillow that alerts paramedics that he needs help.

Daugherty said police received a 911 call from Rosheisen's apartment, but there was no one on the phone. Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check things out.

That's when Daugherty found Tommy next to the phone.

Rosheisen got the cat three years ago to help lower his blood pressure. He tried to train him to call 911, unsure if the training ever stuck.

The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small buttons — including a speed dial for 911 right above the button for the speaker phone.

"He's my hero," Rosheisen said.

What a pretty tuxedo!

Right now my heart is very heavy. I'm watching my feral kitty who seems to be sick unto death. If you have an extra minute please say a prayer for Tom.

It's breaking my heart. I briefly thought about trying to capture him and take him to the vet, but that would terrorize him. He has never been touched by human hands.

Right now he's in a little outdoor cat house we made for him. His little head is sagging on the towels. My thought is he has distemper and couldn't be saved any way. He seems pretty much out of it right now. But, it is so very head to watch. Sometimes the 'circle of life' just plain stinks.

Awwww, OPG, I know exactly what you mean. It was never meant to be like this... I'll be thinking about you and your little sick feral kitty. Any creature who has made his way into your heart this way is a special little fellow indeed.

What would a vet advise at this point, I wonder...

I so so appreciate all of you helping me through this sad time.

I started feeding Tom when he was just a skinny, lanky 6-7 month old. This summer he got real skinny. I diagnosed worms. The vet gave me an all-purpose pill that I quartered and snuck into him in little hamburger balls. Since then he's gotten nice and chubby.

I knew I was setting myself up for a sad day of reckoning as the life of a feral is sadly so short. I would guess he's about 4 now. He's had a great life in our neighborhood, outside the occasional squabble with Butch, a neighbor's cat. I took the best care of him that I could considering how very easily spooked he was. He ate high on the hog around here. I'm looking forward to seeing him at the Rainbow Bridge one day. He's not gone yet, but it won't be too much longer...

I was getting ready to pack up my Christmas ornaments and had put all of the tissue paper I use to wrap them on the floor. I turned my back and Ivy made herself comfortable.

I love the cute cat pictures - you guys have some big ones out there!

OPG - You made Tom's life the best it could be - that's all anyone can ever ask of life.

(((Ophiliagrandma))) It's heartbreaking to have to go through, but at least he had you in his short life.

OG, I'm so sorry. I'm positive that over the rainbow bridge he will run right up to you and welcome all the petting and cuddling you have to give...

It would be nice to pet him. One time I touched him on the top of his head, he jumped about 6 feet straight up. I never touched him again, it was just too traumatic for him.

He has moved back onto the rug on the patio, but, oh, so weak and ill. I'm keeping soft food and water right close to him just in case he would start to beat this thing.
