Forever Home Success!

Ms. Misty has been successfully delivered to my brother and he just absolutely adores her.  It's great for him to have a  new companion and it really makes me smile to see him so happy again.

In the meantime, my cat Sammi has been battling this mysterious rash that came around right as we moved. I tried giving her l-lysine and some topical stuff to control itching all to no avail.....

Then yesterday I had a ureka moment....she only has the little sores or scabs from her chin to her belly, is it possible she's allergic to her litter??  So I've changed over to pine pellets as of yesterday, we shall see how it goes.  Any recommendations on what you other parents might think it is, is quite welcome!!


In the meantime:

A Little TLC

Well it would appear that little Misty has had a rough go of it in her short little life thus far.  I gave her a bath and she was surprisingly mellow about it, but had the usual distressed meow and trying to get the heck out of that sink lol.  As I was washing her hind legs I felt a tiny little ball and surmised it is a BB.  Some cruel person shot this beautiful little girl with a BB gun.  I will never, ever, understand why anyone could formulate in their mind that this was something "ok" to do!

She also has some of her little front teeth on the top and bottom missing, not sure what may have caused that to happen.  And she has a bit of her tail missing and the top is bent at a sharp right angle.  However, despite all these things, she is a very loving and social cat.  She has spent the morning following me around from room to room as I go about my morning routine.  I have some paintings and mirrors leaning against some walls, since I haven't gotten around to hanging them yet.  She is quite fascinated with the mirrors and keeps trying to figure out where the cat in it has gone by peeking behind the mirrors.  It's pretty amusing.  I will get some better pictures today with my regular camera, instead of these weird washed out ones my cell phone camera takes lol.  Oh and Happy Monday!

Fostering for Family

My brother, Rob and his friends kitten, Eris
I'm spending my birthday with my brother today.  When I took him home from the hospital (he had his gall bladder removed) I discovered he has a little stray birman kitty and set about talking him into taking it into his home.  He finally caved but is like "well she just keeps running to the door and wants out, I dont think she wants a home."  So I'm going to foster the little one to get her used to home living since he apparently doesnt have the patience lol.  Updates to follow later today!
