The Bird's Nest

Hello everyone!

The spay/neuter clinic was a great success over the weekend. 12 cats were sterilized and vaccinated. They are now up to 91 cats TNRed this year!! 5 of the females are staying in our foster room for the post op, but we aren't allowed in there. They are able to do more cats with the help of a PetSmart Charities grant! The grant will help fund the spay/neuter of 250 cats in two years. We wanted to show you the nest in our garage. Isn't it beautiful? Not sure what kind of bird it is, but there are 3 eggs and it was built in a quilt on top of the man's racing motor.

Happy Friday!

Another busy week has come and gone. Thanks to everyone for the get well wishes for our manservant, he really appreciated them. We are happy to report he has made a great recovery and gets his stitches out this morning.
On Tuesday, the lady and man drop trapped the momma cat they were unable to get for the big clinic a few weeks ago. They were so happy when she finally went in the trap! She and 2 other kitties (male and female) went in for spay/neuter on Wednesday and have been recovering in our pink room. Yesterday morning the lady woke up to the aroma of highly potent mancat urine! The house needs a good airing out!

Trapping resumes on Friday and Saturday for a clinic on Sunday. They are hoping for 10-15 more. So far for 2010, 79 homeless cats have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated by the BCCP!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!Oh, don't worry about Maggie May's sweet little leg, she just sits like that because she thinks it comfortable. Just one of her many endearing qualities! So neat to hear Felix sits like that also. Must all be part of being in the naughty patella club!

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
We were hoping for a nice, low-key weekend, but it was quite eventful! Our man servant is a mechanic and he does lots of side work here at our house. Well, Saturday afternoon, he was using an 18oz ball hammer to loosen a tire on a van so he could get to the brakes. Unfortunately, the hammer's handle broke and the ball deflected off the rim and hit him square in the forehead. So he and the lady spent the afternoon in the ER. He had to get a tetanus shot and 7 stitches. It was so deep, the doc could see bone! He didn't pass out or anything so that was good. He was so lucky he didn't get a bad concussion or the ball didn't hit him in the eye or crack his skull. It could have been soooo much worse and we are thankful it wasn't! We've been taking very good care of him. He even brought us this cool bracelet from the hospital! Saylor likes to tote it around in her mouth!

Pawprints On My Heart

The lady here....
We haven't been around much and it's all my fault. There's been a lot going on here with the cat project and trapping and art. I'm having time management issues.....there simply aren't enough hours in a day. I bet everyone out there can relate! I am so happy because this is the first weekend I've had "off" for a while now, so hopefully I can get some much needed housework done and love lots on the kitties, who I'm sure are feeling neglected.

Of course, the kitties are helping with the art projects......Maizy gave this one her "stamp of approval!" That's what I get for painting at the busiest piece of furniture in the house..... the kitchen counter! LOL
And somehow I was able to get this chocolate lab portrait done for a relative who is giving it to her stepdad for his 60th birthday. It's his beloved dog, Meg.

I'd like to think things are going to slow down soon, but kitten season is here! Hopefully, we'll see a reduction in kittens this year due to the TNR work we did last year and earlier this year.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes for Maizy, Ferris and Maggie May this week.....much appreciated and we love you all!

Well, hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

It's Our Purrthday!

We are 4 years old today!!!This is one of our first pictures as Creek Cats. Check out Ferris' frootbat ears..... good thing he grew into to those suckers! MOL! We were about 3 months old when we came to live here. We were on our way to the shelter, but the lady and man rescued us and brought us to our home on the creek. Thanks so much for stopping in and celebrating our big day!
Happy Purrthday to US!!!
