(((Happymom))) I am so sorry for your loss. Please don't beat yourself up over this although I've been there, done that myself playing the "if only" game.

Please be comforted by the many, many years you had with both your girls and know that they are together again. 19 is a very long time. You gave them both a great home. It's always hard to say goodbye no matter what the circumstances.

Thanks for the hugs and kind words. I really appreciate you all for them.

The vet said that they probably wouldn't have lived this long with many other people. But I would never be able to have chosen not to care for them the way I did. She was so nice, she was going to take Oreo home with her Friday night if she hadn't died in the afternoon, so that she wouldn't die alone. That is really so nice of her, really going above and beyond really a lot.

Deedles is darling!

Please cross your fingers that the gorgeous long-haired grey kitty I discovered at midnight on my back porch finds her way home. She had breakfast here and I left out bowls of water and a little extra food plus cracked my overhead garage door so she can slip in there just in case but I really, really hope she just goes home! I already have three cats and can't imagine another moving in. Ack!

{{{{HappyMom}}}}} I'm so sorry to hear about Oreo. Ditto what everyone said about not beating yourself up. You gave her and Cashmere two very long lives. What a great vet! I'm glad they were so good to her.

Deedles is adorable!

My DD has a new addition. Her boyfriend decided to bring home a four month old kitten from a farm that he frequently delivers to. She is on antibiotics for her eyes and sinuses, but seems to be getting better now. He said she was the runt of the litter. She was a mass of matted fur, but the vet shaved those areas. My DD named her Devo. I asked if she was a Sprocket (sp). lol Anyway, she loves playing with Anabelle and wears Anabelle out. :-)

Thanks Watching, I appreciate it. I agree the vet is really good. I am still trying to not step in the cat's (or cats') water. Of course it isn't there anymore. My neighbor's have a black and white that looks so much like Oreo. He is an outdoor only cat and only about a year or so old. I love watching him out the window, but at the same time, it really makes me miss my two girls.

Wow Deedles, cute big (very big) guy.

At first glance, I couldn't tell if Devo was very old or very young. Her cute ears are pretty big though. That is great that Anabelle gets along with her so well. It must be so nice to have a baby around.

Tabby, how did your cats do on the long drive?

Retired...she is such a sweet kitten according to my DD. I haven't met her yet.

Cnd, my DD's BF thought she was a he when he brought her home. He wanted to call her Captain Calico Jack. What a mouthful. lol I asked my DD if she was going to get Devo a sprocket hat. lol

Happy, according to my DD, Devo is very tiny right now. She weighed in at 2.5 pounds at the vet's office two weeks ago.

I went to visit the rescue cats today and besides sweet Sheila still being there, my heart broke to see two brothers who had been available 11 months ago. I actually applied for Johnnie, the black and white male, but then found out he had to be adopted with his brother and I didn't think I could bring in TWO larger cats with Critter, so I adopted Angelina and Johnnie and his sweet orange/white brother, Cody were both adopted around that time as well.

I don't know why they are back in the rescue but that Johnnie is such a charmer; he was reaching through the cage to bat at me and just demanding attention. The sign says they must go as a pair and that Johnnie would die without his brother, so I'm really hoping for the two of them to get a real forever home this time. They are 3 years old, both front declawed and SO sweet!

i was happy at first, reading that johnnie and cody were adopted until i realized they had been returned to the shelter. how sad! i bet they'd make good pets for someone and they'd be together for company. i do hope they get adopted again...

both our indoor cats are doing great in shingletown. we are going up again today. they have been staying there with me the first week and then with dh this last week. i'll get to see them about 2:30 in the morning. dh says shy cat is venturing out of our room more...expect that to change again once boisterous kendall bounces into the house!
they did great on the way up. maybe because it was so late at night. the shyer would do his low meow-questions, and dd would reach back and tell him everything was okay. he would wait maybe 15 to 30 minutes before asking us again what was happening. dog slept the whole way up, i listened to sirius radio (blue collar to keep me laughing and awake) and dd catnapped. it was a much better trip than i had ever hoped for.

Yes, they are good looking boys, still young. Johnnie is the more animated (adorable!) and Cody is his rock. I couldn't find them online and the employee I usually talk to about the cats was off in some office so I'll try later to find out what happened to their adopted owner.

Tabby, glad your kitties are settling in!

My cat has to have surgery next week to remove the rest of a tooth that she knocked out.

She was on her enclosed patio playing and I heard a loud noise, like a crashing sound, and went to see what she was doing. She spit out a tooth. I did find a dead bee. Wonder if she was trying to catch the bee and hit her mouth on something?

She also has two stray cats that come to visit and try to jump in the windows. More damaged screens. Why can't people keep their pets inside? My pet peeve for the day!

Vet said she doesn't have a fever or signs of infection so that part is good. She weighs 10 lbs 7 oz. Feels like 30 lbs when I try to lift her.

Rosie, Angelina is like that! She feels MUCH heavier when I lift her, than the scale will admit.

I hope her surgery goes very well.

Oh.. I visited the rescue kitties again today and the rescue lady, Shirley was there, so I had to ask why Johnnie and Cody had returned. She was spitting nails about it. First of all, she gives you all sorts of contact info when you adopt and you are told to call HER if there is any problem, but this woman called another rescue, which turned her down. Then they called Shirley's friend, not realizing she would of course contact Shirley. Anyway, the excuse is that this woman got this really good promotion but has to move and can't have cats. Yeah, right!


The two cats come with possessions, at least. The woman turned over a very nice cat tree, two carriers and a whole box of toys and more. The boys are just precious.. I got kisses and rubs through the bars from both of them today. I told Angelina she was fortunate because in reality, the two mellow males probably would have fit in better with Critter than Angelina does, but I don't adopt a kitty with stipulations and Angelina isn't going anywhere. Sigh. Whoever gets Johnnie and Cody will be lucky indeed.

oh, those poor boys. i do hope someone sees them and falls in love with them. i'd take them, but i already have two indoor cats, an indoor dog and an outside cat. i'd have to trade-in dh if i got more pets.
which is sometimes appealing! but most of the time, dh is great, so there goes that plan :-)

Sea, that's just so sad. :-( I hope they find a loving home.

Well, my DD sent me a video tonight. Anabelle was washing Devo. lol
