Lily

LilyLily is a ten week old brown tiger - just a love! She came into our home with her brother Harry to fill a hole left by the passing of Bart, our 17 year old tiger.

Oh she is so cute. She reminds me of a cat we had for 16 years who passed last year. She is absolutely adorable.

Hello beautiful!!

We just adopted a new kitty (6 mos. old, tabby with a white face) from the pound yesterday. We don’t get her home until Weds. after she’s been spayed, but I’m very excited! We haven’t thought of a name for her yet, but I’m going to cruise past Daily Kitten pictures for ideas.

Actually, it’s ‘ruckus’ (I guess that makes me English Major fuzz :-))
My little girl Nyx has bat ears too. In fact, the people who fostered her after she was rescued had named her Batgirl, so that’s what her spay records and everything is under. We went back a couple months later to neuter our Buzz boy, and the staff still remembered Batgirl :-)
We were hoping she would grow into her ears, since she was only about ten weeks when we got her, but alas, she was a runt, so she never got much bigger–fortunately, neither did her ears!

You are using last year’s calendar? March 20 fell on Sunday last year. This year it falls on Monday, today, March 20, 2006. Sometimes it’s just hard to face the fact that another year has happened. But it is time to accept the fact; it IS 2006! LOL

Look a little closer at the calander. It’s just set up differently. It shows Monday 1st, where on a normal calander it would be Sunday. I did the same thing when I 1st looked at it. “It’s not Sunday!”, then I looked closer. lol

You know, you never feel like you can love another pet as much as your last one. Especially if they’ve been with you for so long. But it’s funny, somehow you find that you love the new one every bit as much and that love will grow everyday. I’m sorry about the passing of your last cat. I’m sure you’ll have many happy adventures with you’re new additions.

She is so absolutely beautiful!!! Those eyes, that nose, those ears!!! She’s a knock out!!!!

My husband lived in memphis for a year, so whenever I visited I made us go there.

The first time we saw the place was about 11 p.m. on a saturday night. We walked by this store front window and there were…all these cats! At first I thought it was some kind of toy store, but then I realized the cats were all REAL, just wandering around in the window and playing.
Its a totally great organization.

Jeff, thanks for the offer to fix up my picture with the bright green retinas. I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements and am giving it a whirl.

If you log into blogger, there should be an option in the ‘comments’ section that reads “Show comments in a popup window?” - set this to ‘no’. I think that should fix it.

Hi Janine. I live about a hour east of Rogers. Yes, it is beautiful in this area. I don’t know what I expected coming from Oklahoma since it’s just a state away. I don’t know if you’re familiar with where Branson, MO is but we’re about 30 miles south of there. I actually grew up in New Orleans. My parents are still there. NO, they live in the good part that wasn’t destroyed! They’re just fine. Sorry to babble.

I love Arizona, especially FLagstaff.

Lily is a beautiful girl! Such pretty coloring and large ears (must get good reception!). When I was growing up in the early 60’s, we had a cat that looked like Lily that we named Tinker. She was an outside cat that we had to put to sleep since kids beat her up. We eventually replaced her with another similar kitty that we also named Tinker. It was many years later til I had Buttons (I wrote about him a week or so ago). I now have Murphy & Cassie. A life without a cat is a life without sunshine. By the way, I’m from a southern suburb of Chicago, Oak Forest, IL. It’s Monday, 3-20-06 (Spring has arrived!) at 11:30 am.

Comment by Bluejay
2006-03-21 06:36:22

Sick is exactly the right word. My cats have all been house pets - partly because I know what kind of two-legged predators they could run into outside.

Hi, Rosie. In response to your question as to whether or not we kept our 2nd Tinker indoors, I honestly can’t remember. I would imagine so, however. Back then, most people let cats out, but I wouldn’t even THINK of that now! My 2 girls now are strictly indoors, as was my previous Buttons. I don’t even think they like the outside except from the inside of the house. I always tell them that their lives are so good with us that they’ve “got it made in the shade”. (an old saying meaning you’ve got it good, things/life going well). If there is a thing of reincarnation, I want to come back as a house cat in a GOOD home.

Well it looks like I’m not the first one from California. I am from Northern Calif. near Red Bluff. I know it hurts when one of our fuzzy friends pass on but whether we get another fuzzy friend or not, the love of the one that passed will live on in our hearts and no other will take that away from us. We just get the privalige to love another. The face of this cutie Lily looks like Casper’s face now, except he has blue eyes. He didn’t look like this as a kitten. Lily is a sweetie.

I see where a lot of you say that you “foster” kitties. I assume that this is a temp. home kind of deal that you do to keep them from being destroyed until a permanant home can be found for them? Can anyone give me any information on this??

Comment by Kat1
2006-03-20 13:45:13

Hey Jeff. I foster for a rescue group here in VA. It’s called A.R.T., which stands for Animal Rescue of Tidewater. I think the SPCA at least here, does a foster program too. A.R.T. is a no kill rescue group and we foster kittens until they are spayed/neutered, older cats to learn their tempermant (so they can be adopted into the right home) or until there’s room at PetsMart. PetsMart is where we show our cats so people can adopt them. We only allow them to be at PetsMart for 3-4 weeks max, so if they haven’t been adopted by then, they go back to their foster for some home time before being back at PetsMart again. We also have a website: http://www.artanimals.org.

I live in Lakeland Florida myself, but travel almost every day to Tampa (going to USF).

Lilly looks like a happy, satisfied kitty. She looks almost like she’s saying “I’ve got a home now!”

I can’t imagine not having kitties around- I’ve had them since I was a little kid (and my wife has also).

We’re the proud “parents” of 5 cats- one a pretty brown patched tiger who likes to groom noses!

Perky little kitten.

I live in mid Missouri. Also have lived in Arkansas Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North Carolina; in my wilder younger days. Lol

There is a lot of FUZZ in every state. I have been owned by animals all my life. First was Pug, a rat terrier who raised me from a pup. My Mom is an animal lover and nurturer and I caught it from her.

My daughter caught it from me. My son married one, they cant have kitties because of my grandson’s allery to them, but they have two pound puppies. They had three but Kenzie had to be put down last summer for a brain tumor.

I love being where animals are loved and appreciated. Thank this site and all the good people on it

She is a lovely girl and looks like she and her brother will do a very good job of filling the void of your dear departed kitty!

You were so lucky to have so many wonderful years with him.

I’d be thrilled to have that many years with my cats… Ours are 9, 7, 7, 6, 6, 6, 5, and 4… and I’m sure that how ever long we have it will never be long enough!!!
