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
LeCat spent fourteen years with the same man, growing from a tiny kitten to a still small adult. He was obviously loved and indulged. He loves laps and scritches and gets so excited with his toys. He snuck up while I was dangling the wand toy for Toby and leaped and batted at it like…

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

Hope in a Rough Day
Nikolai is going to his new home tonight which, while I’m totally thrilled by that, is a little bittersweet since I’ll miss having a fuzzy cushion drying my feet as I brush my teeth. I’m happy for him though and excited to get my new foster kitty next week–14 year old grey and white male…
