Spencer Cassadine Lives Under My Bed
I trapped two male siblings in spring 2022 from Allegheny West. Mama was trapped a few weeks later. My naming protocol was based on soap opera characters. Mama became Helena Cassadine. Her boys were Stefano DiMera and Spencer Cassadine. Stefano is a love bug albeit an 18 lb love bug. We adopted him after realizing […]
Twenty Tips About Donating Your Gently Used Stuff to Community Cats
Cat folx are generous to a fault. They share their excess, they pass the ‘stuff’ of their beloved pets onto others, and they gather stuff from their friends, too. I am constantly asked if #PghCatFolx can distribute this or that. Often enough that I think it is time to create a formal list with information. […]
Free to a Good Home: 12 Bits of Advice for First-Time Cat Ladies and Friends
It was two years ago in late December when we began feeding a Domestic Long-Haired cat who showed up on our deck. It was so cold and snowy that we set up a makeshift feeding station for her and a few friends who showed up. Fast forward two years. That particular kitty and her bonded […]

It was Friday when things took that dark turn so we updated the foster group (Pittsburgh C.A.T.) and hoped it was just a small thing. Saturday […]
Even. More. Kittens.
When we last left this story, we had captured one kitten from a litter of five that are attached to a mama cat we’ve been feeding. We named him Sun Volt (SV) because he’s a gorgeous ginger orange tabby and he’s a fierce little man. He took up residence in our bathroom where our dog’s […]
The Feral Cat Girls One Year Later aka the Lesbian Cat Lady Adventures
One year ago today, we woke up early with a plan to take the female cat we had trapped to the TNR clinic for 7:30 AM. We dubbed her Mamma Mia because we knew she had a litter. We had been unsuccessful in trapping her companion female whom we assume was a kitten from a […]
Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again: Further Adventures in Being in Cat Ladies
We did it. After seven weeks, we finally (re)trapped our feral/homeless female cat, Mamma Mia, and reunited her with her female bonded companion, Maylee. They are both in our second bedroom with access to food & water, comfortable temperatures, and no fears of being hit by a car, attacked by another animal, etc. They are […]
