Throwback to Happier Times

A throwback to Happier times... Two years ago but sometimes feels like forever : a happy Hammie the bobtail cat smiles as he cuddles with me. He was such a sweet boy.

And he isn't the only one we've lost. It's been a rough year but I don't write about these things because there's no point in spreading the pain around. Just this one time, I will - to say that I am grateful for the time we had together. And that is my thanksgiving. This is a remembrance for the kitties who made my life better...

Love your babies. You won't have them forever.

Lucy, Hammie's bobtail sister

Lucy left us, too. Former feral cats often have multiple health problems and although I try my best, I fail way too much. I feel like I failed them, and I'm sorry.

Spot, a tiny cat even as an adult

Spot also left us. He was such a sweet boy, too. His health problems kept him small but he loved his family so much. And I loved him, too.

Katniss

Katniss has a sister who is still here, and seems healthy, thankfully. Her multiple health issues didn't slower down much. Now she is at peace.

I am thankful for having these cats in my life. They made me happier, made my world better. In another, better world, we would still be together. But I don't make the rules,

Thank you, kitties, for making my life better. I hope I did the same for you, while you were here.

Love your kitties. Make the world a better place while you can. Nothing lasts forever.

Spot & Nano

Nano the black cat doesn't really like cats. But Spot the harlequin won her over.
Spot is just too sweet and adorable to resist. Nano doesn't show up too well in this very low-light photo, but she's there. If you knew how cranky she can be, this is amazing.

Sheldon and Spot Chewy Nap

Sharing a Chewy box for a nap - Sheldon and Spotty - happy cats who have no idea how hard I work to keep them happy and well fed.

Hiding Spot

More stripes would help but when you're a harlequin or cow cat, you have work with what you have. Spot the Cat is doing his best to hide, just because that's what cats do. Spotsy has been around for quite awhile; here is recent photo of Spot on patrol ... and he's also the kitten shown at the top of the Top 10 Cat Names page! We love Spot. He's always been very small but he's healthy and happy and very friendly.

Spotsy On Patrol

Spot is on patrol, keeping an eye on things and generally enjoying the nice weather we've been having. Although Spotty is a little boy - always smaller than average - he still manages to fit in somehow.

I remember when I found Spot as a tiny abandoned kitten. He was so sad and alone. His kitten picture graces the "Top 10 Cat Names" page, and you can see it on the sidebar! Back then he was all whiskers and not much cat.... I tried to find him a home with no luck, but instead he grew up here - and grew into a gentle and sweet kitty.

Spot is the NUMBER ONE friend of rescued kittens. When lone feral kittens arrive here, Spot is the one who will bathe them, curl up with them, and give them a play partner as they grow. You couldn't ask for a better kitten babysitter. That's just one of the many reasons why we love Spotty.
