She is currently having trans dermal gel put on her ear flap twice a day as she has an over active thyroid. She weighs in at 6 to 7 pounds depending on how well the medication is working. She is alpha cat <br />Dash is a 5 year old ginger shorthair male weighing in at 20 pounds. I usually wake up with dead legs about halfway through the night as he's gone to sleep on them. <br /><br />Our first cat many moons ago was a black short hair named Tiger. Then we got Fluffy, black and white, given to us when his owner went to jail. He got feline leukemea a so we didn't have him long. Tiger went looking for him for days afterwards. So we got Tiger another brother ~ an orange guy called Sesame. Then came Bearcat a stray black kitten who we coaxed into the house a bit at a time with food. He lived in our house for over six months without us ever seeing much of him. Finally one spring day I let him out and he came home a day later and stayed. <br /><br />When Bearcat passed away we got our girls Saxon and Amber. Amber passed away this spring of kidney failure.<br /><br />Over the course of years we have had many cats bring home mice and let them loose in the house. It's always interesting to know that the cats can find their own playthings.<br /><br />I swear our first cat Tiger thought he was a dog as he loved to go for car rides and would walk on a leash. He traveled more than a lot of people get to do as he made it to both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with a few great lakes along the way as well.Kaeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897964695988614355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-90312625144651421232011-09-13T22:16:20.830-04:002011-09-13T22:16:20.830-04:00Hi Joanie!

We already had a rescue cat from the pound and our second dog but I brought one of the kittens in (she stayed under a piece of furniture for 3 days). One kitten disappeared and I cared for the others outside. Then another cat showed up and had 2 kittens and mama had another and next thing you know the following year there were 11 kittens Yikes. I fixed some females, found homes for some and kept some. I've had up to 7 at one time. I am now down to 4 inside with one 15 yr. old that is very sick and two outside that I've had for 14 years. I saved one once that had been drenched in motor oil and nursed him with a baby bottle. One I saved from peneumonia but another didn't come to me in time. Males come and go and one was named Grayson :) There can be such heartached but also such joy. I couldn't live without them.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-14703242993530934962011-09-13T14:08:55.426-04:002011-09-13T14:08:55.426-04:00Darling post, Joannie.

And I'll bet dollars to donuts that you won't be able to let Binky go!<br /><br />I didn't know all those facts about cats, but I knew there was a reason I preferred cats to dogs. <br /><br />When I was a girl I had a cat named Tammy (yes, the movies with Debbie Reynolds were popular then). When we moved to California we had Shoo-shoo, who actually had nine lives. He was hit by a car once, crawled off before we could get to him, was gone three weeks and came back, miraculously healed.<br /><br />Another time Shoo-shoo jumped in the back of a truck, was carted over several miles and jumped off. He also made his way home.
