"But the favorite toys for our cats were the cardboard boxes that brought Wish List gifts to the Wishers"
But of course. No matter how much money & effort you devote to choosing the perfect toy, the only thing the kittie will play with first two weeks or so is the box everything came in.

Post Holiday Season
I hope your Holiday Season was spectacular. Ours was great. Younger Daughter made special (healthy) holiday treats for her dogs, our dogs, and Older Daughter’s dogs. (And no – those are not chocolate chips) We only have the five dogs now – my two ferals Frank and Apples, my ancient Mir...
sigh . . . . Hit the wrong button again.
As we were saying:
It occurred to us that these m little mice would probably freak out big time if they realized how many kitties were thinking about them.

The Mice
Against the odds, the five baby mice found in a bag of quik-crete have all survived. Older Daughter knew these babies had a much better chance of survival if she could get them to the day when their eyes opened. At about this time, they can start feeding themselves. She fed them every three h...

So glad Arthur and Silly Whim are doing well, and finally in their this-time-for-real Furrrever Home. At the risk of sounding like some deranged Trekky, may they live long & prosper.
One eyed kitties might have problems as ferals, but Weeble should do fine as a pampered house kittie.

Good News is Nice
Good news is always nice. We are about to get over the hump as far as the terrible mystery eye disease that attacked many of the kittens at the shelter and the group I have here in my bathroom – Weeble, Tad, Enoch, and Pogo. At first it looked like Pogo was going to escape the condition. But ...
We're hoping that little raccoon recovers. (we were gonna say purrrrring for him, but we're not sure how he would feel about that) If he's still growing, we suspect there is a good chance he will recover if all his limbs are kept in position.

Wildlife Wednesday - Raccoons
Last week I wrote about Older losing three of her seven baby raccoons to some type of illness. She took the babies to her vet. There was never a definitive diagnosis. It was scary to lose babies to something she didn’t know how to fight. Her veterinary clinic arranged some testing at a speci...
Purrrrraying for Weeble and the rest. Hoping they all make it though with no permanent damage.
On a happier note, we suspect that little orange kittie is gonna be a rascal once he gets a little older.

Some Improvement
Last Tuesday I was reporting about things that were unpleasant to say the least. Our own Amelia was sick. The mystery eye disease had hit my bathroom full of foster kittens. And Older was losing baby raccoons. I’ll address the raccoon situation tomorrow in my Wildlife Wednesday post. Today ...
Purrrrss to that little raccoon. We hope he pulls through.
We gotta admire that tripod possum. Break out, hang out for a while, than dig back in to relax in a comfortable nursery, complete with food delivered to your bedside.

Wildlife Wednesday - Babies, Babies, Babies
Baby raccoons. Baby opossums. Baby deer. The four fawns that Older has at Wild Angels are still doing well. Keeping fawns alive is so very difficult. But there is only good news so far with this group. They are thriving. Fingers crossed. (No new picture of the fawns - they don't stand ...
Sending soft purrrrrss and gentle head butttss to you all.

Gideon
My daughters (then 17 and 15 years old) first saw Gideon during a fall festival in the tiny town near our home. He was stumbling all over the place. He would take a few steps and fall. He would try to pick up the pace and completely roll himself over. The girls watched as people started ...
Cheers for Silly Whim & Arthur, and purrrrrrss & headbonks to their new beans.
PS: They DO understand that we really, really want a few pictures in their new home, right?

The BEST
I usually post pictures of Wish List gifts at the end of a post. But I’m going to start today’s post with that subject matter. You’ll see why. Alyssa sent a gift to Winnie’s Wish. Alyssa is a long time supporter of me and the Wishers, and she carried that all the way to an adoption. She adop...
Way To Go, Halo! Enjoy your furrrever home. Purrrrrrrss and head bonks to Ms C for her patient caring.
Odds are Halo is gonna be a velcro kittie now that she is finally feeling safe.

An Angel Found her Halo
About three weeks ago, I ran a couple of videos on my Facebook page – videos of some Wishers needing homes. I ran the video of precious Zen getting and giving hugs, and I ran a video of the sweet and shy Halo. What happened as a result completely shocked me. I received a call from someone who...

Tibby Bean
Tibby Bean was diagnosed with kidney failure in October. Dr. O told me when I left the appointment that he felt like Tibby didn’t have long. He thought probably only weeks. I came home, researched about some things I could add to the fluids program, and knew I’d need to shower her with love f...
Welcome to the rest of your life, Isaac & Silver. You may not be entirely convinced yet, but things are a whole lot better for you now.
Just hang out, relax and recover.

Silver Lining (and a Bonus)
The cat I caught in my trap was so afraid of me that when he saw me walking towards him that early morning he started slamming himself into the sides. I was horrified that he would injure himself. I started sweet-talking him, but it did not help one bit. Of all the times to have a cat be so...
Way to go, Evers. Keep on getting better. (and be careful about which bugs you eat in the future, OK?)
Your tease almost sounds like the tail of Truly, Shiloh, & Autumn, part two.

Numbers
At the end of last week I reported that my Evers was a tiny bit better. Well my dear Friends – he is back! – almost 100%. I am completely thrilled. Dr. A says maybe it truly was the ingestion of a june bug or wasp with the inclusion of throat scratches or stinger injury deep in the throat. ...
Getting sick from eating a bug? That is a new one for us. Purrrrrrrring that Evers feels better soonest.

Wordless Wednesday (Not Really)
On Monday, when I was about to lose my mind from worrying about Evers, I decided that I would do a “Wordless Wednesday” post this week like so many other blogs do. I have loads of cute pictures of Evers (of all of my furry family members actually). I kept distracting myself thinking about how ...
"cautiously optimistic" beats the heck out of a bunch of other options. Purrrrrring that Evers makes it all the way to "fine" shortly.

Back Tomorrow
Thank you for your well wishes for Evers. I will give a full report about him tomorrow. Yesterday was an extremely LONG day. I never had any time to write about our vet trip. But I will work on that story today and post with details tomorrow. Let me say this much – Dr. A says we can be “...

One of my own cats is Evers. His given name is Evergreen because he reminded me SO much of sweet Wintergreen (you all know her as Winnie). Wintergreen (Winnie) Evergreen (Evers) Evers had a rough start in life, but he survived and has been living here since last July. Last Thursd...
Hey, it's Mack the Knife. Mackie, you lucked out, and we suspect you know it.

Meet Mackie
Did you catch it? Embedded in the text of Monday’s post? Let me start this way. What do you do when you can’t say no? OK, so here’s the way this went. At the shelter where the girls work there is a new part-time employee. She happens to be quite a worker and my daughters are happy to have ...
Things seem to be going fine. Melissa seems willing to take it slow, and for sure seems committed to the adoption.
Enjoy your furrrever home, Truly & Shiloh.
Our guess is in about a week one or both of the kitties will be sleeping with Melissa (or maybe the daughter) The kitties may run when the bean wakes up, but they'll be there.

Easter Sunday
Thank you so much for your comforting words about my Jack The Unicorn. Losing Jack on Friday was a deep low. But something happened on Sunday that brought me a great deal of joy. In fact, I don’t think there is much else that could have pulled me up out of my funk the way this did. On April...

On Friday morning, I did what I do every morning. I started my routine. Up early. Breakfast & coffee. (Normally, posting to my blog goes along with the coffee part of my morning, but I don’t blog on Fridays.) Husband has already let the little dogs out and back in by then, so I start lett...

Last Saturday some people brought a little unneutered chihuahua to the shelter. The story goes that he had been straying around that neighborhood for a while. These people said they had put out food for him. On this day they brought him to the shelter because his eyeball was hanging out. Y...
That must have been a bit more excitement than you really needed. Purrrrrrring that everyone recovers.

Is Anastasia deaf in the side with the blue ear? We've heard that sometimes happens.

Chrystal, don't worry too much about losing any of us. Most of us are deeply invested in Winnie's Wish, if only vicariously through your blogging.
Also, at least as of a few years ago, there used to be several companies running around that claimed to be able to recover data from 'destroyed' (usually crashed) disks. Not sure how much you are still missing, or how much those groups charge. Just for the record.
