Lil' Smokies doesn't come out too often. She's usually in her attic lair being antisocial.

After seeing articles about this I checked my cat's microchip on www.aaha.org no registration info comes back. Savethislife was a major pet registry in the US.

Says HI!!

Seriously, that's his "Hi" face. It weirds the other cats out.

"Mowin' the yard." Get it? Ba dum tss

We're about a month post FHO hip surgery. Finally getting to leave the cat jail and stretch the legs a bit. Also day 2 of harness training so there's a lot of laying down in protest. Poor guy's had some rough luck but he's getting back to his normal self.

I tried to warn him, the US Postal Inspection Service does not mess around!

Week 3 of confinement after FHO hip surgery and we're already at the "throwing feces through the cell bars" stage. I'm afraid he may be institutionalized. All in all tho he's been a very good sport for someone that was a street cat 6 months ago. One more week to go and we'll be able to get out and take some less depressing photos.

Side note: He loves the freeze dried chicken hearts from Chewy. But I was not prepared for the morbidness (if you need to break them in half; just, don't look).

My dog hasn't eaten anything for days and I've tried everything. He stopped eating his chicken and soft food, he won't eat any vegetables that I try to give him, he'll barely lick peanut butter, and refuses to have treats. I'm literally trying to feed him bacon at this point, but I don't think it's gonna do anything. He's 15 and my dad is saying he's probably dying. This has all progress over a week.

Mo loves riding around on the dash like this. It's not safe at all so he only gets to go up and down the alley. Pls excuse my filthy work truck.

Sidenote: You don't have to post it, but send my boy some good vibes; He's got hip surgery next week.

I tried explaining how serious the ramifications are, but he's got a real problem with authority.

Mo is the night security guard at work. After hours it's strictly business, but during the day he mostly just lounges around and supervises random projects. #catswithjobs

Best cat I ever had, probably the smartest and coolest too.

This is Mo. He wandered into my garage 4-5 months ago and I guess this is his home now.

The cover of 'April Kittens' - by Claire Turlay Newberry (1943)

So, in the beginning some two weeks ago or so a cat mom came to my yard with 5 kittens but I started to note that the mom sets aside or ignores one of her offspring that seems to have conjunctivitis and flu, so I started to take care of the kitten and it have improved a lot, but there's something strange with she because basically stays in the same place all the day without moving. She's not sick in the meaning that's bad because she eats and plays and all those things, but honestly it worries me that something bad happens to her because of that so I'm determined to keep her in my house while she gets better and then I give her up for adoption, but I'm afraid of not finding someone who want to adopt her...

I already have enough cats for just one person and all of them were adopted in the same conditions as this kitten, but the difference is that I can't have more cats, I simply can't, the last time I did this I adopted a pregnant cat and I was supposedly to find a home to her kittens but my dad passed away just when I was going to give them for adoption and now I can't find someone who wants to adopt them...

I know of some Facebook groups in my area where kittens are given up for adoption, and there seems to be quite a lot of demand. I'm willing to create a Facebook account just to find a home for that kitten but what if I can't find anyone who wants her? Almost all my family already have cats so I doubt they want to adopt one more, and I also know of several vets where they accept kittens no older than 2 months to give them up for adoption, but I'll be honest, maybe it's a stupid thought but I would be very sad to take care of that kitten for a while and then leave her in a place where she won't even have space to move and I don't even know who would adopt her...
