Gone, But Not Forgotten

Cal has been gone one year today. Seriously, where does the time go?
We miss him very much!

10th Photo Meme

We were tagged by Sparkle the Designer Cat and Isis and Denali and our friends at Talk with the Paws to do the 10th photo meme. The rules are to open your first photo folder and find the 10th photo in that folder and post it on your blog. We are using the 1st folder in our Picasa album. This photo was taken just 2 weeks ago and it features the feral colony kitties, Oliver, Necklace and DG eating out of the same bowl. You may have seen the video we posted of them on Movie Monday last week.

We would like to tag anyone who wants to play along. It's fun!!!

It's Getting Better

We are happy to report the stress and tension has greatly improved here on the creek. Maggie and Maizy are both on Amitriptyline. It has really helped! Hardly any hissing from Maggie and no chasing and biteys from Maizy for a few days now. Maggie May goes for a recheck at the vet tomorrow. Her leg looks great and the abscess has completely healed. Now just waiting for her fur to grow back.The calming collars are still on the others and Chevelle gets her ears rubbed with flower essences. They seem to really be working, just look at this picture! Chevelle and Ferris have never ever laid within 5 feet of one another and they shared Dixie Dog's bed the other night!

The lady donated some of her retro owl note cards to a blog that hosts giveaways. Anyone can enter to win. Go HERE!

Rambler would like to thank everyone for his Gotcha Day wishes!! Happy week, everyone!

Happy Gotcha Day, Ram!

Today is my 2nd Gotcha Day!

The pictures above are from my first week after being trapped and neutered two years ago. The servants built me an enclosure down in the garage after they received my positive FIV results and also so I could become acclimated to being indoors. After spending about a month in the enclosure, they moved me upstairs to my own suite in the house. That's right, I don't have to share my food and toys with anyone! It took me some time and a lot of feliway and rescue remedy to start enjoying being an indoor only kitty. Now I love it and would never want to go back outside again!
Here I am enjoying sun puddles on my belly while laying on my very own bed! Life is good!

Maggie May won an honorable mention in the Spirit catergory over at Lynx217's blog!

Blue Sky

Movie Monday

Our lady made this movie over the weekend. It stars 3 kitties who live in a managed feral colony. They are the only 3 kitties remaining in a colony at a former recreational fishing hot spot. The fishing spot is now closed to the public, but the lady has special permission to monitor and feed the cats. They were used to getting lots of fish from the fishermen, but now they have to settle for dry food. Doesn't look like they mind much though. What's funny is there are 2 other bowls, but they insist on eating out of the same one! Too cute!

Many of you have heard about the horrible news happening in NJ where Tuck lives. When the lady heard this disturbing news, she decided to write a letter in support of TNR and opposing the feral cat hunting. She hopes the NJ Fish and Game Council gets a freakin' flood of letters! Just look at the kitties in the video above, can you imagine them with a bullseye on their heads? The feral cat hunting plan is despicable and we hope and pray it doesn't come to pass.

Visit Tuck's blog for more info and for contact info to submit your own letter.

Flannigan's Ball - St. Patrick's Day Contest Entry

This is what we came up with for the St. Patrick's Day contest hosted by Brian and Lynx217. We're not sure if this falls under the catergory of "green apparel" or "use of green." Since Maggie May has had a rough week, we let her model and show her St. Patrick's Day spirit!

This contest is lots of fun and we hope more of our friends enter! You can learn more about the contest by clicking on the links above.
