Winston's Come Home To Stay

After we lost Simon Willow found it very hard to be by herself. She was so used to having Simon to hang around with that she didn't know what to do with herself.

I found out that Winston, one of the first pair of kittens that I fostered, had still not been adopted. Barb thought that he might have bonded with me and was missing me. When they took him to PetSmart he would hang back in his cage and would not interact with anyone who came to his cage to see him. So he was being passed over for adoption each time. When I heard that I asked if I could adopt him and we decided that I would take him after I returned from a week's vacation.

Well, Winston came home and it's like he never left. He just took up where he left off and he and Willow have become great friends.

Winston has settled right in. He's a lovely little cat, very affectionate and a real purring machine.

A Big Blow

I lost Simon this past week. Last March he got a really bad cold and lost a lot of weight that he never put back on. He slowly lost ground and after blood tests I found out that his kidneys were failing. He was hardly eating and just wanted to be by himself so I felt it was time........


When I got him from the local OSPCA he picked me, I didn't pick him. He wouldn't leave me alone and I thought if he wanted to come home with me so badly, why not let him. He was a wonderful cat who loved me and showed it every day. I am going to miss him so much but he is no longer suffering.

The Three Amigos

Three little kittens arrived last Sunday. Henry, an orange tabby, who has a great set of lungs and doesn't hesitate to use them; he's a real talker. Reggie, a fluffy black and white fellow who likes to follow me and loves to cuddle and Timothy, a shy gray and white little guy who likes to hide behind the throw pillows on the couch.

Timothy has a film over one of his eyes and I am putting an anitbiotic cream in it twice a day. The film has gotten lighter since he's been here but he will probably always have a bit of a film for the rest of his life. It sure doesn't slow him down, in fact he is the most playful and sure can move.

Willow tried to get into the action and grab some of the kittens' food but they weren't willing to share. Willow eats dry cat food so when the kittens' wet food comes out she's ready to chow down.

Barb is coming to pick up the kittens tomorrow as I'm off to the cottage for a week. These three little guys were here less than a week but they fit right in. I'm a pushover for a kitten...lol.
