all of these cats are pretty good cats and you should all tell them they are good boys and girls and give them headpats and kisses

This is Mona, she turns 1 on the 28th. She is a strange creature. I've been thinking of getting another (short hair this time) from a local rescue spot that is about the same age but I think she will hate any other animal I bring home as she is very clingy.
 
Unfortunately lost a cat tonight. Not my pet black cat who lives with me at my house, but another older cat at my moms that she rescued as a kitten off of the highway around 16 years ago and who I grew up around. This is the second one of her elderly cats she has lost in a year. Sadly a few of the others are similarly aged. I was going to write a little bit more about him here but I am just not feeling very well right now and so I don't have the energy. He lived a very good life and loved tuna fish and his favorite thing to do was sit on the window sill in the front office watching the birds play outside. He had a quiet meow and very soft fur. Sadly his health just deteriorated extremely quickly ovr the last two weeks. He was a bit skittish ever since he was a kitten and didn't really like being held much but tonight he let me hold his paw for awhile while we were preparing to take him to the emergency room. he kept squeezing my fingertip with the paw I was holding. completely shattered my heart and I was done emotionally after that. Sadly he did not make it to the emergency room and passed away in the car. Probably going to take a day or two break from internet. I think I have posted a picture of this cat here before but I will dig around for a good one to post later when I am feeling better

I do not take pet losses well.

Kiwi killed her first mouse last night, and I'm just so proud. I'm preserving it so I can taxidermy it.

My current cat isn't as good as the prior one at catching mice but the real issue lies in that instead of going for the kill she plays with them for so long they take one of the many opportunities to escape and succeed.

Yeah, kiwi has "caught" 2 mice prior...but we had to catch and finish the mice off. This one she killed and left whole on the floor for us to see. I was so proud.
 
This is Bubbles. He is seven years old, currently going through eye and inner ear infection. On top of that he recently got diagnosed with cancer, and has a tumorous growth on his paw, which might force an amputation. He is lazy, hates being handled by anyone and vets especially, does not want you to groom him but will cuddle in the evening in bed. Not too long though.

Here's some more of Mona.

These are from the day/day after I got her. She settled in very quickly.

In this she is 3 months old. It is also one of my favourite photos.

This last ones are the day she was spayed/chipped. She had to wear the cone of shame because she slipped out of three of those little suit things they put cats in after surgery. She was utterly miserable the whole time it was on. Mainly because she couldn't groom herself properly.

****BONUS****

This was Ralph, my cat before Mona. I got him from a local rescue spot. He was a good cat and serious hunter. I'll never forget the night he brought a full grown wood pigeon home. Fortunately it was already about dead so finishing it off wasn't that messy.
The name was nothing to do with Gunt. He was called Alfie when I got him and I don't like that as a name and Ralph sounds close enough that I could safely assume he would learn it quickly.

Sad news. My cat Coco is missing. She loves to go outside so we installed a pet door for her. Everything was going great up until 3 days ago where she didn't come home in the morning like she usually does.

I really wish I had sprung for a cat gps tracker. I was afraid something like this would happen one day.

I know your pain. This month marks a year since our cat, Ebeneezer, got catnapped, and we never found out who took him. We only knew this because our neighbor's cameras happened to come on when she got out of her car and it captured the moment some hamplanet waddled over, scooped him up, and tossed him into the trunk/back seat of her car. (Eb was a fat, docile cat, of course some fat woman would be able to pick him up no problem.) Thing was, we got this information about a few days after we realized he was missing, and Mom called/contacted all the shelters she could think of in the area about him, and none got back to her, suggesting he wasn't dropped off anywhere.

She has a feeling based on witness description that it may have been the same people who previously lived on our street before they moved away during the recession, in which a starving Eb showed up on our doorstep not long afterward. From stories of our neighbor who currently lives in that same house, when he first moved in (after a second family had moved out), he was surprised to see this tuxedo cat on his doorstep, and when he opened the door to give him food, Eb just waltzed right in like he owned the place and took a nap. Yeah, Eb was pretty friendly that other people knew him, but he only had two known houses he would frequent inside, ours and the one neighbor's.

We still hope he's okay even as we've resigned to the fact he's not going to come back home, but it's still super shitty that it happened. Even more-so if it is the original owner who literally abandoned him over ten years ago. Mom isn't holding a grudge toward them for it, and I'm still struggling to stop being mad at them for it. This is possibly due to some guilt as days earlier, I had just taken him to the vet for some puncture wound of sorts (he tended to get into fights every summer) and I had detoured for fast food and didn't realize he had wet himself then until I let him out--and yes, I still wish I had asked to get him chipped while there as it was something that was on our minds from time to time but never got the chance to take him in for. We wanted to keep him inside for treatment, but he just liked the outdoors too much to stay in against his will. Unless he got taken to some far-off neighborhood, if he had wanted to come home, he would've been back by now as he was a pretty street-smart cat.

Hopefully I didn't bum you out further. It's always sad when a beloved pet cat goes missing, especially if they weren't old or sick when they do. Nature is cruel, and people are crueler, so best case scenario your kitty's okay somewhere out there. But as the days go by, and then months go by, you start to accept the loss and just pray the cat's in good hands, either with some kind lady or with God.

Oh man that's awful. What kind of name is "Ebeneezer"?
Presiona para expandir...
Lol when we first got him, we assumed he was a girl and named him Ebony. When we took "her" in to get fixed, the vets realized "Oh, this is a neutered male" and so we had to rename him. Since we had given him the nickname of "Eb", Grandma suggested "Ebeneezer" (it's probably spelled with one "E" but I always spell it with two "E"s for him) and it stuck. It was a good name for him, he was practically a Scrooge lol.
 
If you know their former address, it should be possible to get their full name, and then their current address. I dunno your area, situation, or wherewithal for that kind of solution, but it's worth considering.
 
These are my new kitties, Leo (male) on the left and Peach (female) on the right. They're siblings and had to be adopted together. Peach relies on her older brother for protection, here they are huddled up in the bathroom (temporary safe room) while they acclimate. Leo is approximately 4 months old while Peach is about 3 months old.

Leo is starting to warm up to me slowly and starts purring if I pick him up or pet him. Peach is still very hand shy and hisses if I try to approach her. I still try to handle her at least once a day though so that she can start to get used to my presence. Peach is also recovering from a cold so that's why she looks a bit off. While she does hiss initially, she doesn't try to run away or fight when I handle her so that's a good sign.

Both of them still have their names given to them by their foster parents. I want to rename them but I'm drawing a blank so feel free to suggest some. I was hoping for 2 black kitties but that deal fell through, which is a shame because I already had names picked out (Luna for the tuxedo and Obsidian for the black one).

Sadly, Coco has yet to be found. After I lost her I resolved that will only keep my cats indoors from now on. It's a shame to deprive them of the joys of the great outdoors but sadly it's a choice I have to weigh against their safety. Coco's original name was Laurie Beth.
