Rest in Peace Sweet Friend

Easy like Sunday

Cat Litter

I was wondering whether anybody has any good ideas about alternatives to clumping cat litter. I've tried the Breeze box, but my cats refuse to use it. Preferably something "natural", like pine, but I've never tried is so has no idea whether it is practical.

Any ideas?

Snow Tiger

I know for our friends in the north snow is nothing special, but here in Georgia we get very excited about it.

Formerly Feral Friday

Wordless Weekend

Formerly Feral Manx

Well, I did it. I brought the little manx into the house. Yes, I know I'm crazy, but I just could not stand looking at her outside in the cold. In any case, I took her to my vet and the good news is that she is not pregnant and had negative combo-test. She was treated for ear-mites and intestinal worms. At the moment I have her set up in a spare bedroom. I will be out of town for a few days and didn't want to let the BMTs loose on her if I'm not here. It doesn't mean I'm keeping her! She is still on the waiting list at the no-kill shelter. We will see how she adapts here, but ideally I want to find her a home. At least she is cozy and warm inside, although a bit lonely in a room by herself, but that's the best I can do for now.

Get Well Soon Kismet

Manx - Update

Well, here are some pictures of the little Manxie. She is TINY. Unfortunately she also looks pregnant!

She likes following the BMTs (Bubbles, Madness & Trouble) around. They hiss at her when she comes too close, but generally they don't care very much.

She seems curious about me, but stays out of reach. She really wants to be around the cats, but is pretty suspicious of me.

In this picture you can see how tiny she is (compared to Bubbles's butt).

I have contacted my local no-kill shelter and they said they have a 2 month waiting list. I put my name on the list in any case, but I doubt that she is tame enough for them to take her in. And then there is my suspicion that she is pregnant, so I don't really think that is an option.
At the moment I'm feeding her and planning to make a shelter outdoors, because at the moment she is sleeping under a shrub next to the front steps and it was below freezing last night.
So no long-term solution yet.

Sunny Sunday
