Spring 2003
Snatched
her up June 2003 as she was following a group of people walking by my house.
I don't know if she belonged to any of them, but no one looked back when
she left them to come by me. She was about 8-10 months old.
In the beginning, she spent most of her time up high, to get away from HunnyBunny, who swatted
her every chance she got. Sweetie on the other hand likes everybody and everything!
Such a sweetie pie!

April 25, 2007 - Adopted her out to Little Jeanie and her son, but she returned her about 3 weeks later. Seemed
Sweetie was not happy. Alls she wanted to do was get out and refused to eat.
So Jeanie returned her.
Boy was Sweetie mad at me! It took her about a month before she purred
again and she was an "purr on human contact" cat before. Thanks for
forgiving me Sweetie.

 Fall
2001
Niki was adopted from Friends of Linden Animal Shelter, where I am
volunteer. He looked like he really needed a home. He's so
needy! Always looking for attention. I can't tell you how many
glasses of wine or cups of tea he spilt on me, my keyboard and computer
because he just has to be in front of my face!But never, ever on my lap!
One time when I was doing important computer work, Niki got between me and
the monitor again, so I tried to us psychology on him. I looked up, I
looked left and I looked right, but never did I try to look at him or the
monitor. I figured if I ignored him, he'd leave. I was right!
As he left my desk, he stepped down onto my computer tower and right on the
Power button. now I can get back to work I thought...... but
then the computer
shut down. Did he shut it off on purpose? We will never know. |

December
2006 Fella.
I believed he belonged to my neighbor, but when the neighbor moved away, Fella was still around. So... when I moved away..... I took him with
me, thinking I can foster him until I find him a good home. He's a
real nice guy! Big yet gentle, and now he's "Uncle Fella" to
all my other guys.

December 2005 - I moved in with my son Ron, upstairs from my
mother who was feeding a bunch of cats in her backyard. I knew I
had to "Trap - Neuter - Release" or the backyard would be inundated with
cats!

I had planned to Foster these guys,

Summer
2006
Just
look at that pretty tail! |
Jedd, named after the nickname my son had for his grandfather. Jedd
is a mama's boy. He will purr upon contact, but I think it's out of
fear, more than happiness. He's a hard one to catch and would not come
when called even if I have real chicken to give him.
Over the years he has come to be more loveable. Still faster than
lightning if I reach out to pick him up, but sometimes I win, and he loves
it! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< |

Spring 2006
Lickedy showed up in my yard one day, and seeing that I had a garage full
of what I thought were feral cats, I figured what's one more. Today, Lickedy fits right in
with the other kittens, who have all been brought into the house! He's slightly bigger and as you can see, and a
little bully! Yet he is one of the sweetest little guys I ever met.
I should adopt him out, but I'm really reluctant to do so. He hangs out
with me to watch TV! Lickedy

Seeing it was my mother's fault that all these cats were coming in her
yard and now are mostly in my house ..... she has to have a couple come in and stay
with her too! |

 This
is P-tek! He was a stray that came to our yard to get some food.
He was so friendly that we invited him in. Pee Wee was so happy to
have someone around his own size to play with that we decided to keep him.
What a mistake! They play so hard together they knock down lamps and
plants! But at least Pee Wee is happy! |

 My
first "trapp - neuter and release". He was so wild and ornery, that
I was afraid to get close to him to take this
photo. Poor baby was all beaten up, with infected cuts and scratches and loaded
with tics. Thank goodness the vet fixed him, in more ways than one, and
here is a photo of how he looks about 10 months later.
Today, he's an indoor cat and lives under my bed with Merlot. |

Zenia
had 4 kittens. I captured 2 of them, sweet Iris
and Crazy Daisy. Where the other 2 went, I really don't know. I
adopted Iris to a very nice couple, but Daisy was too wild and never calmed
down, so I released her in the yard to be with her mother.
Unfortunately, on April '07, I found her on my lawn a couple of days later, apparently she
was hit by a car. |

Merlot is a shelter cat. She never came out of her cage... as a matter
of fact, she never came out of her hammock! She doesn't eat dry cat
food, or even canned food. But she loves her Country Style Smoothies!
Now a days, she'll eat just about any flavor, just as long as it's put in
the blender and through a sieve. I think she doesn't know how to
chew??? She is very skiddish and lives under my bed. Only to come
out to use the litter, if no one is looking and occasionally she'll come all
the way to the kitchen to see if I'm getting her supper ready, but if I
glance at her... she right back under the bed... waiting to be served. |

June 2008 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> What a silly looking cat!
Crossed eyed and a silly smile! She showed up on the back porch
looking for something to eat. I invited her in and now she's one of my
mom's cats.
She gets so excited to see me and loves to have her butt scratched while
she eats? |

#11. Orange |
Hurricane Irene was supposed to be a bad one, so I thought I'd take Orange
home for the weekend. Orange is a feral cat who is not part of the feral
colony at the shelter. She was a loner, but friendly toward certain
people. Catman Jim, Sue and me. She would jump into Catman's car
and eat and sleep, while he feed the rest. I coaxed her to come into
my car, and there she ate and slept.... until her daddy came, and then she'd
switch cars.
Catman says she's been at the shelter since before he started coming,
around 12 years ago.
Now, I don't want to let her back out there, because although Irene
didn't do much damage, the city is chopping down the trees to make a "nature
trail".
She is not a happy camper, but I'm determined to have her come around and
settle in. |
