Girl Kitty! |
I just added it up, it has been about
8 months since my last post. I hope everyone is doing OK. As most of
you are aware I had some difficulties and had to cut back on things,
internet included. I just wanted you to know that we are doing all
right now, I managed to get caught up with everything. I even got the
internet back as you can see.

My favorite pic of her, the turkey pose. |
I got back on line about a month ago.
I wanted to get caught up with my emails, news, etc. I have tried to
catch up with the blogs I am following, but it has been hit and miss.
I did notice that some are not posting as often as they did, I also
noticed the absence of one or two others. Makes me wonder if anything
bad happened or if just due to life changes, loss of interest, and so
on.

What am I suppose to do with this? |
Which brings me to the subject of this
post. A lot has happened while I was offline, yet not much has
changed (or is that the other way around). I am not sure where I want
to go with this blog, or what to do with it. I still want to brag
about my kitties. My hart is not in it like it use to be. I have
spent the last couple of weeks thinking I should start this up again,
but could not think of much to say on a daily, or weekly basis. It
does not seem like much happens each day. I go to work come home feed
the cats and that is about it.

Such a sad look. Nov 2011 |
I don't know if maybe it is a bit of
depression lingering. Seems like a lot of priorities have changed. A
lot of other things just seem meaning less. It could also be that one
of the main reasons I started this was to brag on one cat in
particular. One who seemed that she had been through a lot, yet she
still opened up and let me love her. She had changed, grown so much
that I was very proud of her. I wanted to let people know that with a
little time, effort and love how wonderful these magnificent
creatures can be. Not to give up or pass them by because they may be
old, scared, timid, or even aggressive. With a little care and love
they can blossom to be a wonderful caring friend with much love to
give.

Blackie |
This is going to be the first, last,
only time I will mention this, as I do not think about it doing my
best to put it out of my mind. There is a lot of anger, hurt,
frustration involved with this, the full details of which I will
leave out, I just can't get into it. On Nov 14, 2011 just before
midnight Girl took her trip over the bridge. I personally helped her
cross over, here in her home where she felt safe and loved. God this
is still hard to write. She was and will always be my baby girl, my
sweetie pie being so quite and gentle. I will always miss her. She is
the reason I have so many cats. She is the one that started it all. I
suppose for her I will keep this blog going.

Thor (MIA) |
Like I said a lot has happened, but
not much has changed. About 6 or 7 weeks ago Thor disappeared.
Sometimes he would not come around for a few days, but after not even
seeing him in the back yard for a week I knew he was gone. I fear
that the coyotes got him. I live in the middle of town, and yes I
have seen them in the street out front. He was one of the five that
“belong” to my neighbor. Being such I did not try very hard to
make him an indoor kitty, having to let him wonder around so they can
see him. They are the ones that put food out but will have little to
no interaction with their cats. Three of their other cats (Pretty,
Ugly, TJ) spend most of their time in my house I make no apologies.
Only TJ bugs me to get out at night the other 2 are usually in bed
with me.

Tom |
That brings the count down to 10 my 5
and the neighbors 4 plus Tom (who is totally independent). None of my
cats get to go out ever the neighbors 3 I keep in at night and
usually most of the day. I have started to work on getting Blackie
and Tom to want to stay around more. Tom may never become an indoor
cat, unlike Thor who stayed near by, he wonders the whole
neighborhood (too independent). Disappearing for a week at a time. I
have seen him several blocks away, I do not know if he has a regular
home or not. That leaves Blackie as my best bet to corral into being
a house cat. Everyone is still on a mostly dry food diet. I give both
Tom and Blackie canned food as a bribe to come around more often, the
rest get left overs. At least for the time beaning.

Rare pic. Tom making himself at home. |
Well that kinda brings everyone up to
date on whats happened over the past several months. Sorry it got a
little depressing. I am still not sure how often I will update will
have to wait and see.
