Merry Christmas

Manx Rescue

About a week ago a little Manx cat showed up in our neighborhood. I think it's a Manx, I'm not an expert, but it has that "bunny look". It's not feral, but skittish. The neighborhood kids have been chasing it. They don't mean to harm it, but want to touch, but it's too afraid. For some reason it likes to follow Bubbles around. Bubbles seems bewildered by this strange bunny-cat. Madness hisses. Today it came into my house, but ran away when I approached. However, I put some food just outside my door, and it let me touch it a little bit while it was eating.

In any case, I don't really want to take it to the local shelter. I'm afraid it will just be put down, because it's so skittish. I contacted our local no-kill shelter, but they are apparently full. So I thought I would try a specialized rescue group. I checked the internet, but the addresses, etc for Manx Rescue groups seem very outdated and my e-mails returned, "undelivered".

So I was hoping that somebody from the Catblogosphere community might now about a Manx rescue group that might be able to help. I'm in Georgia, so it would be good if it is a rescue group in the South, or relatively close by.

I will try to get a picture of the tiny little thing.

What the ....?

I was trying to take a Christmas picture with Trouble. LOL.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Mrs. B (RIP)

Today I had to make the very difficult decision to let Mrs. B go.

You can read the story of how she came to live with me here (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 & Part 4)

Bye, Girl.

Gizzy Quilt for Trouble

Trouble liked Madness's Gizzy Quilt so much that I had to get a matching one for him also. First Bubbles gave it a good smell. Must be that Millie smell that he likes.
Oh and apparently it tastes good also.
Madness immediately claimed it and just dozed on it.
But eventually Trouble got to try out his quilt. He seemed to like it very much.
And just look how innocent he looks! Don't let it fool you - he lives up to his name.
Thanks a lot Millie - we all love the quilt. Now if Trouble can just manage to get it away from Madness!

Three

Wow I'm three! And so is my brother Dobby.

Formally Feral Trouble II

Trouble has settled in well. He still wants to spend a lot of time outside, but he comes when I call so I can get him inside when I need to. He wakes me up every morning meowing to go outside! Th other cats don't mind him much any more. Madness still growls when he come very close to her, but as long as he doesn't try to basically sit on top of her, she is OK with him. Bubbles actually plays with him!

Mrs. B doesn't mind Trouble at all. She pretty much just ignores him, which is also what she does with Bubbles and Madness. Mrs. B is continuing to improve, so I'm hoping she is over the worst. She is not totally back to normal, but she is MUCH better than last week.
