I thought I would see if i could get a picture of our last "visitor"

How could you turn a face like that away! Good looking fella.

The one we rescued and adopted last Summer, "Lucky" has grown up pretty fast. He's now bigger than our other Male cat, and our food bill has tripled! I'm really glad we kept him though, he's the funniest one of the bunch. Every afternoon when I take a little nap on the couch all three of them see the quilt come out and come running to nap with me.

I glad I'm not the only one that gets the fur pulled over my eyes!! This guy was pitiful we could feel his rib cage. We just don't know what people are thinking when they dump these cats. We had one kitten show up that fit in my wife’s hand. We had one cat that was shot with an arrow, I was in the garage and I heard something hitting the door, he was trying to get through the cat door in the service door of the garage. I cut the arrow a few inches from his body and we rushed him to the Vet around 10:00 p.m. I tell my wife don't even tell me what it cost. He is doing great now as are all of the other cats that were either dropped
off or found their way here. We have already named him Michael, you know what that means.



Your Cats look like they are well taken care of, my wife said you have one cat that we do not have, the one that is black and white but have all of the others. Our cat named Blackie looks like yours with long hair.

One day I will get a group picture.

Word gets out in the stray cat community about where the soft touch's live in the neighborhood!!!!! All we've ever had is pets nobody else wanted.... A bird that is way too noisy and a black cocker spaniel, seems nobody ever wants to buy the black ones..... Had an Irish Setter for 16 years that somebody had dumped on the side of the road, and lots of cats that just kind of come around to visit a few days, then move on. They're still the best pets!!!!

Yeah, I've realized I can't save them all, but at least we have given a good life to the 5 that we have. My two that live inside my shop are getting up in years, and I'm dreading the inevitable. Had them for about 15 years now.

I suppose we could look at all creatures as they are just trying to survive like us. None of us really had anything to do with being brought into this world but it is for sure we all know that we will be taken out.

It nice to see other people helping the Stray Animals

The black and white one is Chewy, and he is Dan's number one cat. He waits by the door every night like a dog, waiting for Dan to come home. He has some built in clock and knows when it's getting near 6 PM. Sometimes he forgets and falls asleep on my lap, but when he hears the door opening, he jumps off and runs to the door almost like he is saying "honest Dad, I wasn't cheating on you by sitting on Don's lap!"

He is our resident bad cat. Always into something. Getting Lucky was the best thing for him because the two of them wrestle and chase each other around all the time...........especially at 3 AM. It's like having kids because I never know what I will find upset when I come out of my bedroom in the morning.

I've been expecting Bob P to post his two cats pictures. Last time we saw them they were just kittens cleaning his model car collection.

Been a little busy lately with travel and doing the Easter mambo with the family. Clicked off a couple quick shots of the "kids", 'Stache and Emma, they're about 18 months now. 'Stache is similar to Lucky in having medium long hair and a bushy tail. He and his sis have both stripes and spots, a little different.

All I remember is we had to beat on you to keep him!

The shop took in a couple of stray cats.
Lets just say we don't have a mouse problem anymore.

Yep Bob, I think about that every once in a while. I remember you encouraging me to keep Lucky, saying "sometimes these things come into our lives for a reason." You were absolutely right, he has been a great addition to the house, and makes me laugh constantly with the stuff he does. Some nights I fill up the tub and soak while reading, and he always sits on the edge of the tub with me. One night he slipped in......shoulda seen both of us scrambling!!!

I'm really glad we kept him.

No kidding!!! Guess that explains why we got 5 living in the house and 11 at the barn. All of whom get fed daily. No wonder I can't afford car parts.

We got 2 inside cats and now this guy outside.

Twitch - I had to check where you live. Hey we got two that look like that. Mostly white with blends of grey and silver with bright blue eyes.
Thought they might have been ours. Can't be, you're a little out of my neighbor hood.

The mom on the left came by with the kitty on the right and hung around for a coupe days till we gave them food. She was skinny but got her weight back over the summer. As the kitty matured she finally left him but still comes by. We got 2 inside cats and now this guy outside.

Here are our two "house guests". They are soooo much easier than kids. (We had 6) "Stickers", the gray one was found in a parking lot with his tail crunched up, and "Pogo" was from a litter that my "rod builder/metal worker" friend had.
