Happy Caturday, and welcome to the open thread. Today reader Squiddy shares a follow-up story on some foster kittens, one of whom found his forever home sooner than anyone expected:
Sent in a video a while ago of Bertie loving on some foster kittens (Mango, Dragonfruit, and Emerson). After a few weeks, I returned them to the humane society to be adopted out. Only one small snag — Dragonfruit was still too little to be neutered and needed to come home with me again to get a little fatter. And then he fell asleep on my neck. And that is why I now have not TWO cats, but THREE.
Jasper WORSHIPS Bertie, and Bertie and Cheshire LOVE the kitten, now named Jasper. He’s now about four months old and is the light of all our lives. Even Cheshire, who pretends to be irritated by him then sneaks in licks when he is not looking.
Just crossed over officially to Crazy Cat Lady and have no regrets.
Dragonfruit knew what he was about!
Welcome to the Crazy Cat Lady Club Squiddy!
It’s been a very quiet week the only event was Storm passed her first hairball and following the tradition set by Minnie 16 years ago she did it on the bed! LOL!
Congrats! I love Jasper’s coloring.
Rainy and windy here. I have a headache. I need to put away some laundry and do cards for my Christmas card exchange, and my mom wants my Christmas list.
Dragonfruit had the right idea. Your boys are just gorgeous together. Squiddy, remember that it’s not the number of cats that makes you CCL. It’s what you’ll do to keep them happy. You could have 1 cat, but if the instructions for the cat-sitter are 3 pages long, you’re a CCL.
I am *so* looking forward to the end of Maribel’s isolation period (Tuesday). She’s in the bathroom begging for attention right now. Very loudly. “Persistence” is her middle name. I try to go in only when she’s quiet, so that she doesn’t associate seeing me with meowing. But I feel like a monster.
It’s finally the weekend.
Congratulations, Squiddy.
Crazy week, crazy day. I’m so glad I force myself to make Sunday a true day of rest, or I’d go sane.
All is ok in Duckieville.
Have a fantastic weekend.
Congrats, you are now officially outnumbered. And all three are gorgeous, put Jasper in the middle and you’d have an Oreo cookie.
Car club is coming over today to help us weed and clean up our jungle of a backyard as we’re hosting the annual Stangsgiving (cross between Friendsgiving and a holiday party) next weekend. Need some space to park cars and set up tables. Thor’s been fighting a cold so he went to the vet last week. He has chronic bronchitis and minor esphoegal collapse which I understand is common in small dogs. He’s on some meds which he takes like a champ and he seems to be getting better. Finished up a major mailing at work so I feel like I accomplished a lot in the last few weeks. Always a good feeling. Happy weekend all!
A LOVELY happy ending!
Not sure that I should tell you this, but Dragonfruit wasn’t really sleeping, he was faking it.
LOL what if we could find out they were being manipulative!
