A Foster Cat Always Relies on the Kindness of Strangers
Last night I was almost in tears at my shelter and people helped. No one looked at me and said “Why are you stressing about a cat? You have sick family members to worry about!” They understood and rallied and tried to find a way to help LeCat, my fourteen year old foster who suddenly…
Thoughts on Michael Vick
I’m still processing and the dogs are still healing (those who survived) but Michael Vick is now out of prison. Part of me hates him and will always hate him and thinks he deserves nothing. Part of me does see the merit in The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) having Vick work with…
Who’s a Good Kitty/Doggle?
From XKCD (xkcd.com) and totally true. LeCat and Toby hear a lot of “Who’s a kitty?” “You’re a kitty! You’re a fluffy kitty!” I believe this also happens with dogs however I have not yet found a comic with a graph for dogs. Does anyone want to provide me with one? You’ll get karmic kitty…
LeCat’s Special PSA: Pets Who Survive Us

My Guide to Adopting in the DC Area

LeCat is a Lap Cat
I picked up my new foster cat, LeCat, last night and he is a cuddler! I’m keeping him in the bathroom for the quaruntine period and he is already trying to break free. I have a routine when introducing a new cat to my home where I bring the carrier into the bathroom, close the…
Kitty Welcome and General Update
First, I would like to state how wonderful it is to be welcomed home by my Toby. I was out of town for a wedding this weekend (the happy couple fosters dogs in the Cleveland area and are an inspiration to me with their genuine kindness and love) and stopped by my apartment before heading…
