    Beautiful baby — sad about his origin and eyes, but he is obviously well loved to make up for it.

    I am good this a.m. Greycat. I was a little miffed at my breakfast because they scrambled my eggs until they were the consistency of styrofoam. Why oh why do people think you need to scramble the taste right out of an egg. But I threw the eggs away and just ate the sausage. At least IT was good!!!

    Who’d throw away such a beautiful chocolate furbaby? :sad: At least someone had the heart to save Beanz. All he needs is a yellow furbaby named Cornbred. :lol:

    Why? They would only have a fight. Beanz would knock cornbread clean outta sight. Cornbread would then say “That’s ok, I’ll get you another day”

    My mom was actually the one who sang it. Probably because we had beans & rice every Monday with cornbread (for my dad - he loves that stuff). Ah, memories.

    (I’m one of those rare people who’s parents stayed together and still WOULD be together if my mom hadn’t passed away).

    Beanz is one very lucky boy and cute too. Beanz is now living the good life thanks to some wonderful caring angels. Hope his mom and siblings are as fortunate.

    Rescuers of dumpster babies or any rescuer of a throw away pet are the best. Angels to be sure.

    My Boceephus was thrown out and he fit in my hand when i found him.I had for 16 wonderful, loved and never alone (me) years. I am also addicted to this web site. All my babies were found/adopted. My dad paid 50c to the paper boy for our first cat Mittens. I was 7. It started my love affair with cats. though, if i had my way I would adopt everything!!

    I can’t believe people can be so cruel to little furbabies… fortunately the number of loving people seems to be about equal to the heartless ones. I am so happy to think that Beanz has people to love him. He is a little black beauty and I am sure he gets around well in spite of his vision loss. Cats are amazing creatures!

    Beanz is. I hope whoever put him and his siblings in that dumpster finds out what Karma is… and fast!

    In college, I had an adorable gray kitty my roomie rescued from the dumpster. We named him “Nermal” (after “the wrold’s CU-U-U-U-U-TEST kitten!” in the “Garfield” strip). He lived with my parents for 15 years until they moved to Florida to be closer to me. By that time, Nermie was spending so much time at the next-door neighbors’ house, they and my parents decided he’d be happier living with them than moving.
