We have acquired two more cats: Here Kitty Kitty and Mihus (I think that is how you spell it, the name came with him). Here Kitty Kitty was semi-feral. I started feeding him because he was soooo skinny. I mean, SKIN EE! Gradually convinced him to let me stand there when he was eating. Then I gradually moved the food next to a cat carrier. Then I convinced him not to run when I reached down and petted him. Then, SURPRISE!, I pushed him in the carrier and off to the vet we went. Neutered, wormed, rabies shots. Brought him hom and put him in a BIG dog crate and gradually convinced him to let us pick him up.
Now, the name. I know you're just biting your lip waiting for an explanation. As I was talking to him to get him used to me I tried all kinds of things to get him to listen and then respond. Blessed if he didn't respond to "here kitty kitty." I then promptly wished evil things on his prior owner because obviously he had been someone's pet and they had tossed him. Eye for an eye sounds good to me!
Then there is Mihus. Youngest is all grown up now and has her own place. Got herself a kitten and then had to move. The people where she had been living said they would take care of him and then they decided to move. Seems during the year he was with them they hadn't bothered to feed him. So, we acquired cat #7. Again, off to the vet, neutered, rabies shot, wormed. He's quite pretty now. I'll have to get a picture of him.
Did I mention that Here Kitty Kitty looks just like Smokey? I can tell them apart but no one else can. I'll have to get a picture of the two of them together. Two great big blue gray balls of fluff!
So, one would think that we had enough animals now. Oh no. Not happening. About 3 weeks ago, youngest calls and asks if we can care for her boyfriend's puppy. Pebbles. The runt of a litter and supposedly Australian Shepherd. Ah, I don't think so. This is what she looks like ~~
