On Staycation

The vacation/staycation starts today! Don't know how much we will be around for the next week, but we will try to check in with everyone from time to time. Gonna enjoy some kitty snuggle time and do some yard projects and hopefully take Dixie Dog out in the boat. See ya when we get back!

Memorial Garden

I made this memorial garden for the ones who came before. There are 5 pets buried in this garden and they are marked by the stone pavers. There are also 2 pieces of driftwood that used to be in Buzz the iguana's enclosure. I rescued all the flowers off of Walmart's death row for 1/2 off.

Checking In With Gretchen

How cute is Gretchen in these pictures!!!

So here's some good news.....We've been able to lure Gretchen up to the top of the steps using fried chicken and grilled sea mullets. She will even eat some of her wet food in front of us. She stayed on the platform of the stairs for over an hour with us on the porch. She took a nap and was even flirting by rolling around. This is the closest we've been to her since relocating her to our yard from her feral colony. It's great progress! If only we could get her to stay. Next week is our vacation/staycation and we plan on working a lot more with her and hopefully find her day hiding spot. Every night she comes from the house across from us. It's for sale and no one lives there. Perhaps she lives under the deck. We don't have many hiding spots on our property. She must feel safe over there.

Check out those lasers!

Happy Father's Day!

Life Is Good Award

Our mom got this award from Sniffie and The Furikids Mom!!

This award is for us Moms who help our kitties blog. Answer the questions, then pick five Moms to pass it along to.

1. What would your prefect day consist of?
A perfect day would be a day that I don't see horrible stories of pet abuse or neglect on the news or in the paper. Also, a day when all shelter pets have forever homes and all stray and feral cats have all been TNR'd and no kitten is born into the hard life of a feral cat.

2. How would you describe yourself if you were an item of clothing?
An old broke-in pair of jeans with holes in the knees.

3. What hobbies are you currently working on?
I'm really trying to work on my gardening skills.

4. Walking in the woods in wellies or bare foot on the beach?
Bare foot on the beach, of course!

5. Have you ever hugged or sang to a tree?
No

6. Growing your own veggies or nipping to the supermarket?
Supermarket for now. Although, someday I hope to grow my own vegetable garden!

7. Have you found anyone exciting in your family tree?
Yeah, not so much.

8. Slap up meal in a posh restaurant or fish ‘n’ chips from the wrapper?
Posh restaurant because I love dinning out and don't get to do it too often. So when I do it's a real treat!

9. Which element do you most resonate with, Earth, Air, Fire or water?
Water

10. Do you believe in fairies?
Not really, but would love to one day discover the house cleaning fairy!

We'd like to pass this award along to the moms of: Katnip Lounge, Punapippuri, Cory Cat Blog, Potpourri In NC, and Nico The Poly Meezer!

Wordless Wednesday

Checking In With Gretchen

Here are some pics from over the weekend. On Friday night, Gretchen came on the porch 3 times... at 9pm, 10pm, and 12am. Check out Ferris and Gretchen locking laser eyes in the window!! A couple of times when the servants walked out on the porch to look for her, she was at the foot of the stairs and didn't run away when they saw her! They stayed and talked to her for a while.
These three kitties will soon be homeless and must be adopted asap. They don't have to be adopted together, but desperately need to be saved. Click on the graphic and help if you can!
