How to Prepare Winter Weather Shelters for the Cat Colony

Yesterday, I got the winter shelters ready for the cats. Sort of. I use airline dog crates XXL, held together with zip ties, and covered with one of those warm but thin quilt type blankets. The crates and quilts/blankets were also donated. I bought the zip ties. Winter will soon be here. Inside each shelter […]

Veterinary Update on Peyton, Elderly Sick Cat Who Found Us on Faulsey Way

Sicck Elderly Cat

The big issue is that we cannot find a rescue to take her. She’s been turned down by several because she’s too sick. Still waiting to hear from two others, but its been weeks since we applied so not holding out hope. If you have rescue connections, please reach out to them directly with this […]

My cats think in the Cat Link self-cleaning litter box.

I was pleasantly surprised to be approached with a chance to review a self-cleaning cat litter box. I agreed to try the Scooper Luxury Pro X from CatLink. This is not my final review because I’ve only had it for two weeks, but I wanted to share this fun video of my cats exploring this […]

Help 16 year old neglected cat get another chance now with updates

Peyton is doing very well. She had significant dental surgery – over 15 teeth pulled. The dental surgeon thinks that she has a congenital deformity in her sinuses – or she was hurt badly – and one dissolved hence the ongoing discharge. So that may never stop, but her sneezing, coughing,etc is not infectious. It […]

The Return of Spencer Cassadine: Helping My Cat Manage Anxiety

Black cats

No, not that Spencer Cassadine from General Hospital. His nameesake, the feline Spencer Cassadine. I’ve been worried about him since I returned. He was one of the cats trapped and removed from my house (stolen really) while I was very ill. A rescue group did that. They hurt me, a lot. But they hurt him. […]

Update on Spencer Cassadine and Stefano DiMera aka my Cats

People often ask me how my cats are doing. So I’m compiling videos from the nanny cams so you can see for yourself. I was pleased to see them playing togther or near each other for over 15 minutes. These guys and their mama were TNRd in March 2021. Stefano (extra fluffy) is friendly but […]
