Random Fridays

We got over 4 inches of snow on Wednesday, so mom got a snow day. She says that there can be disadvantages to working in a small office, but sometimes there are good advantages too. She spent the day doing....not much of anything with all of us. She did put together something new for Chanel. More on that next week.

Mom has gotten some emails from the neighbor lady Carol that helped with the TNR in our neighborhood. One of our original girls, Annie, isn't doing well. It is so hard when it is a house cat when at least you can provide some comfort. But it is harder when it is a feral you have cared for over the years and there really isn't much you can do for them without causing more stress. We suspect Annie doesn't have much longer here and we hope she crosses peacefully.

It does make mom worry that much more about Allie. She was in the garage on Thursday morning when mom left for work and they have built JUST enough trust that mom managed to get out of the house and into her car and out of the garage and Allie never left her bed on one of the shelves. Which is good since there is snow and probably salt and it is just plain cold here. Mom wishes she could just talk to Allie and convince her that coming inside wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Adoption events this weekend for the rescue. There is a fuzzy calico girl at one of the stores. So far there have been 3 applications for her....all of them bad for different reasons. Sheesh....

We are supposed to stay cold here and get more rain...which means more ice. Stay safe and stay home if you can!!

  1. It really is hard with the feral cats. I got so lucky with my Momma cat who is feral and one day she just walked in the door to the house. She has been every since and very comfortable. I am still not allowed to touch her.You all have a great day.

  2. Poor Annie. I hope there is a point at which she decides she needs the comfort of a friend, and will consent to some companionship at the end, but I know that is unlikely. May her last days, when they come, be easy and gentle.

  3. Poor Annie. We hope she will see someone is there to help if she wants it, though that's not the typical feral way. C'mon Allie, inside is always better!

  4. If you figure out a way to talk Allie inside, let me know! Nothing I've tried has convinced The PO'M or Sweetie to come in and STAY! Sending purr to Annie.

  8. Snow days are great ... especially when it means snuggling with one's cats! I wish kitties outside could figure out they can trust some of us ... some of us love them and want to provide for them. I'm lucky that Bear Cat gave me a chance!

  9. I couldn't handle caring for a clowder of feral cats. I'm just too emotional to handle the ups and downs. Cats often go off to die and one never knows what happens to them.

    Allie may eventually decide she is interested in coming indoors. My sister has a 7 year old cat that spent most of her life outdoors. The cat now spends more time indoors in the basement--especially at night. (She will spray and isn't allowed upstairs.)

  11. Feral life is hard, and it's hard to help feral cats unless they accept the help you offer them. Purrs
