    Lyric, Picola, Blue, Morgan and JackThis is my new batch of foster kittens. From left to right in this picture:

    The first black kitten is Lyric, he just mews all the time. The gray/white female is Picola, meaning tiny girl. She is very loving, a lap kitty. The beige kitten I’ve named Blue, in the hope that he keeps his blue eyes. Again, he’s very loving and I think he’ll be lap kitty too. The solid gray male is Morgan. He is very shy, timid, and a bit skittish. The last black male is Jack Sparrow. He is a terror kitty, full of energy and curiosity!

    Their mom will be spayed and each of them will find their forever homes since the Johnston County Animal Protection League is a NO KILL shelter. They are only six weeks old. I will socialize them and put them up for adoption in 1 month. It is a true joy to help raise them!

    Good Morning TDKr’s: Now Jack Sparrow is my kind of kitty. Looks like she is having a hard time keeping them together for the pic. Too cute.

    TGIF - anyone for a margarita? I’m on vacation next week, so probably won’t be around that much.

    Kitties in libraries! I want some!

    [+] Comment by Rubia in the UK [p]

    There used to be a cat in a library in San Diego. Then one day this guy brought his assistant dog in. I’m not really sure what disability the guy had, but he had a dog and so was allowed to bring it into the library. Well, the library cat didn’t like this one bit, and attacked the dog and scratched its nose. Well, the guy - AND the dog - were apparently severely traumatized by this - lives were completely messed up - so of course the guy sued! The case went on for at least a couple of years, if not more. The poor kitty went to the Bridge before it was ever settled. But eventually it got thrown out of court. Common sense does triumph in the courts on occasion!

    There’s actually a wonderful Library Cat movement worldwide. A quick sniff of Google gives a map of where they can be found–here’s the URL.

    http://www.ironfrog.com/catsmap.html

    In deference to our canine friends, there are also reader assistance dogs up here in Maine–they’re very attentive, and little kids love reading to them.

    My Redkit shows a marked preference for mysteries, herself. The more engrossing they become, the more she likes to lie across them.

    My kitties love to read with their tummies too. The only problem is they prefer to read the same stuff what I am reading. :(

    You know, wouldn’t it be great if offices could borrow a few kittens or puppies from the local shelter and host them? Eventually, somebody would get so attached that they’d officially adopt the critter, so the office goes back to the shelter and borrows another.

    It’d work better for offices with a lot of people so you wouldn’t reach pet saturation too quickly and where the animals could be in a separate area so people like me with allergies wouldn’t end up with so many hives that they look like the Michelin Man.

    Hi Alex!
    Hi KM!
    I voted for Redford. He is so handsome :)
    I only had time to lurk yesterday :(
    Yesterdays kittens were a truly awesome bunch and todays kittens are also beautiful. Such a mixed bunch of cuties.
    Please cross your fingers for Shadow, one of my feral kitties. I noticed what appeared to be a little patch of fur missing on his back when he first came. I didnt want to scare him to death right off so I waited a couple of days. Last night I got a good look at it and it is a sore. The sore looks almost healed but when I palpitated around it, that area is swollen and mushy. Looks like little Shadow has an infection. I mixed some Baytril in his food last night and I will take him to Tom’s Town with me tomorrow and get Betty to help me reopen the wound and clean it out (yuck). I think he will be allright but with the sore almost healed the infection has probably been there awhile. Everyone else is doing good. Y’all have a great weekend! I may not have much time during the next couple of weeks except to lurk.

    I agree, Instinct, and
    since Rainingwolf in Oregon has pneumonia and not able to adequately campaign for Redford these last 2 days of the race, we should support a fellow TDKer and spread the word so that Redford wins the race. It will help Rainingwolf in Oregon feel better. I vote my 5 votes every day. It only takes a few seconds of time, so please vote 5 times today and 5 times tomorrow. Thanks.
