Izzy is doing great. I can hold her!! Well I can carry her from updtairs to downstairs without too much protest. She has decided that shenloves to sleep on my bed. She still doesn’t like treats that much but thats ok.
that’s excellent to hear! I am sure you are on cloud 9! I am thrilled to hear that all your hard work has so quickly paid off
Peshky is so sweet - if you just add a dollop of orange to his forehead, he looks exactly like my lil’ Tawney…and you’d also have to add some fur-extensions. HAHAHA
Congrats, Kristen on your success with Izzy. Time, patience and love always pays off with our animal companions. God Bless you both and continued success with Izzy.
Notice how he looks so innocent when he sleeps. Just plotting to take over the world! Wonderful boy. His back legs are adorable crossed over each other.
What a sweet little guy! I feel myself relaxing just looking at him. Love the bit of ginger mixed in his colouring.
*Hey Kristen* Great news about Izzy! It’s nice to have a kitty in bed with you, isn’t it? Just keep giving her extra attention, playing and holding her is more important than treats anyway.
I have to agree with you, Catherine. My Galileo has so many kitty beds, mats, and the like… but he insists on sleeping on the dirty clothes in the hamper.
I think Peshky is just adorable. Sleeping kittens are the best. They look so innocent and peaceful. I’m sure he’s just full of mischief though!
btw, I forgot to include my locale to my earlier message for your list, Chester. I hail from Ohio…it constatntly amazes me the distances this website reaches!
Linda-Kiara, I didn’t think anyone else was from Pa, let alone darn near next door! I live in Doylestown, grew up in Lansdale. Have seen your posts for quite a while now. I visit here during work hours. Good to see you again, neighbor!
I used to live in Pa too….Chester County…Kennett Square..the mushroom capitol of the world!…and just recently moved here to VA from Delaware..just over the PA line near Philly…..little town called Claymont…..
and ohh…..Peshkey is way too comfy….wish I could sleep like that….LOL
hi chester i don’t always post, but when i do it is coming from prescott, az.
warm laundry is the best place to sleep lol
my 2 babies think so too, it is a fight to see if i can get things put up before they lay on them, i usually lose (:
Victory! I love Kenneth Cole even more now! This got me all misty….
* Kenneth Cole Gives the Boot to Cruelty, Pledges to Go Fur-Free*
August 18, 2006
Warren Garst
Leading fashion designer Kenneth Cole is known for embracing worthy causes. Famous for his shoes, he has said, “What you stand for is more important than what you stand in.” After executives of Kenneth Cole Productions met with staff of The HSUS this summer to discuss the suffering of animals caged, trapped, and killed for their fur pelts, the company pledged to go fur-free in all its stores, a huge step for fur-bearing animals.
The company will stop selling animal fur in all of its garments, handbags and other products starting with the Fall 2007 fashion season. This policy applies to all Kenneth Cole brands and licensees, including Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, Unlisted, Bongo and Tribeca.
A player in national and international fashion markets, Kenneth Cole has more than 80 stores in the United States as well as 39 stores in more than a dozen other countries. The Kenneth Cole brands are also widely carried in department stores, including Bloomingdales, Burdines, Marshall Field’s, Dillards, Lord and Taylor, Macy’s, Nordstrom and The Bay.
Response to Calls for Change
After several fur pieces, including a rabbit fur handbag and a fur-trimmed jacket, appeared in their stores last season, HSUS supporters contacted Kenneth Cole urging the company to drop these cruel items.
The HSUS applauds Kenneth Cole’s humane decision to spare countless animals the unnecessary suffering, pain and death that comes from being trapped in the wild or killed in fur factory farms. With this compassionate action, Kenneth Cole joins other leading fur-free designers and companies, including Stella McCartney, Marc Bouwer, Jay McCarroll, Zara, H&M, J. Crew, Wet Seal and Forever 21.
*What You Can Do*
The U.S. House of Representatives is considering legislation, H.R. 4904, the Truth in Fur Labeling Act of 2006, which would close a loophole that allows garments featuring fur valued at less than $150 to be sold without identifying it as animal fur or specifying the species of animal or country of origin. Without proper labeling, consumers can’t always tell if an item contains real fur or faux fur — and today’s processing techniques make it nearly impossible for consumers to tell the difference.
The family is better than ever! Christopher can now speak very well in English, but he isn’t perfect yet. Caitlyn has some more learning to do. We have decided that the baby’s name will be Teressa, after Sarah’s mother who passed a few years ago. The cats and dog are doing great too. Thanks for asking!
…based upon this snapshot solely, I DEMAND that I shall come back in my second life as a kitty - if this shall be how I would be spending the majority of my 2nd life, sign me up right now! on a gloomy day like today, here in Ohio - there is no place I’d rather be but in bed resting like Peshky!
Being in Florida, I can’t WAIT for summer to slip away—haha!
94 degree days with 75% humidity—yuck. But, being raised in Michigan, I know exactly what you mean. The winter was so cold and long and depressing….
You guys think you’ve got it bad? Try almost a month of 100+ degree days with no rain in sight. We got our first rainfall this weekend in I don’t know how many days. I’m longing for October.
I know it’s not the worst weather to deal with here in Ohio, but being the freeze-baby I am to start with - every cool day seems bad. I shouldn’t complain because it could always be WAY worse in so many different regards. All the same…I still wish I was catching some zzz’s like Peshky
Oh boy do I agree OCtober has always been my favorite month. The cool crisp days when I was a kid in Chicago with the smell of burning leaves. Now I live in GA which is a branch office for Hell. I love the cold one can always put on more clothes to get warm but when it is hot you can run around naked and still be hot besides people laugh and point!
Susan, I know what you mean about the weather. When it’s too cold you can always put on more clothes but have you ever put on so many, that you feel like you can’t move? lol I can’t wait until it cools off to around 80, so I can go outside and be with my kids(cats). They enjoy my company so much. They just pile themselves all over me! It’s so much fun.
Okay, I’ll pipe in about the weather. I’m here in be-yoo-tee-ful Sacramento and the weather has been gorgeous for two weeks. I’m sooo getting tired of it! Not. Jasper and I have been able to go for walks every evening without sweating to death. Consequently, by the way, Jasper has learned how to climb a tree. I’m so proud.
I think it was the winter of 80 or 81 we had a wind chill of 86 below zero! I had so many layers of clothes on if I fell down I would never of been able to get up. I had to wear sunglasses on the way to work in the morning while waiting for a bus so my eyes didn’t freeze. I try and think of those good old days when it is July and August here in GA.
Cutie-cute! But guys, Peshky must be a GIRL, not a boy. She’s got those lovely, subtle tortie markings that are genetically sex-linked. Pretty girl! We have a cat named Pesmerga that is nicknamed “Pesgy.”
Peshky was playing hard and got a ‘lil tired.
………………………………………….*LOUCHE*……….
………………………………………………….
(dang it, defeated again!)
hey i think that she is super cute i just want to love on her all over!!!
*501 FUZZ*
…Peshky is not tired, he’s just *rejuvenating*………
duzzaduzzduzz……………………………………………
Izzy Update:
Izzy is doing great. I can hold her!! Well I can carry her from updtairs to downstairs without too much protest. She has decided that shenloves to sleep on my bed. She still doesn’t like treats that much but thats ok.
that’s excellent to hear! I am sure you are on cloud 9! I am thrilled to hear that all your hard work has so quickly paid off
Peshky is so sweet - if you just add a dollop of orange to his forehead, he looks exactly like my lil’ Tawney…and you’d also have to add some fur-extensions. HAHAHA
*R&R FUZZ*
Adorable kitty by the way. Reminds me of my Cuddles.
Congrats on your progress with izzy.
Nice to hear a young person take the time to help a kitty.
Good job, Kristen! You sound like a proud “kitty-mom”.
Congrats, Kristen on your success with Izzy. Time, patience and love always pays off with our animal companions. God Bless you both and continued success with Izzy.
Ssshhhhhh! Peshky is refueling energy!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaawwh!! HE(?) looks soooooooooooooo peaceful! He kind-of looks like my old kitten, Sugar.
What a cuddly looking boy.
Notice how he looks so innocent when he sleeps. Just plotting to take over the world! Wonderful boy. His back legs are adorable crossed over each other.
Kittens have two modes — on, and off.
OFF MODE FUZZ
Kristen-Congratulations!!!
Time for a cap nap!!!
awwww…what a little cutie pie!
What a sweet little guy! I feel myself relaxing just looking at him. Love the bit of ginger mixed in his colouring.
*Hey Kristen* Great news about Izzy! It’s nice to have a kitty in bed with you, isn’t it? Just keep giving her extra attention, playing and holding her is more important than treats anyway.
A very sweet and modest kitty.
What is it about cats and clothes? Of all the places to sleep in a house, why do they choose the laundry?!!!
I have to agree with you, Catherine. My Galileo has so many kitty beds, mats, and the like… but he insists on sleeping on the dirty clothes in the hamper.
I think Peshky is just adorable. Sleeping kittens are the best. They look so innocent and peaceful. I’m sure he’s just full of mischief though!
Izzy prefers the clean laundry
There is nothing cuter than a sleeping kitten. He’s such an adorable angel!
I love how its bum is all curled up.
Yes, I noticed that too. Also his little hind paw! I wish they could share their relaxation secrets with the world.
*Zen Fuzz*
So sweet.. I love how her paws are all criss-crossed.. the tail wrapped “just so”
Kristen, I’m glad you are making progress with Izzy!
Not all cats like treats, so that’s OK!
All this kit has to do is take some advice from NASCAR, regarding motor products to both revive and refurr-bish his kitty karburetor.
PESHKY MOTOR OIL FUZZ
What a beautiful cat. And what an adorable pose—-all criss-crossed!
Ok who hit the pause button on the cat??
Reminds me off my cat Max.
To those who have contributed their locations I will put a list on tomorrow. That would be one week of listings.
It’s not to late to share what part of the world you live in.
Here’s one more for you, Chester–coming atcha from Camas, WA!
Peshky is adorable, and looks very comfortable!
btw, I forgot to include my locale to my earlier message for your list, Chester. I hail from Ohio…it constatntly amazes me the distances this website reaches!

Awwwwwwwwwwww…
Look at the kitty tummy! I just want to take that kitty in my arms and snuggle it!
We think this lil’ kitty is more precious than a ruby!
Naomi Claire Kelsi Rene Emmaly,
I agree! SO CUTE!!!!!!!
Hey there! How is the family?
The family is better than ever! Christopher can now speak very well in English, but he isn’t perfect yet. Caitlyn has some more learning to do. We have decided that the baby’s name will be Teressa, after Sarah’s mother who passed a few years ago. The cats and dog are doing great too. Thanks for asking!
I think this kitten is just too adorable! Looking at this picture makes me want to hug and snuggle with him.
She’s a very cute kitty.
…based upon this snapshot solely, I DEMAND that I shall come back in my second life as a kitty - if this shall be how I would be spending the majority of my 2nd life, sign me up right now! on a gloomy day like today, here in Ohio - there is no place I’d rather be but in bed resting like Peshky!
I agree 100%!!! It has been very gloomy here in RI too.
worst part is that when I was just outside…you can feel that summer is literally “slipping away” - BOO!
Being in Florida, I can’t WAIT for summer to slip away—haha!
94 degree days with 75% humidity—yuck. But, being raised in Michigan, I know exactly what you mean. The winter was so cold and long and depressing….
You guys think you’ve got it bad? Try almost a month of 100+ degree days with no rain in sight. We got our first rainfall this weekend in I don’t know how many days. I’m longing for October.
We sound like a bunch of old people complaining about the weather…..
I know it’s not the worst weather to deal with here in Ohio, but being the freeze-baby I am to start with - every cool day seems bad. I shouldn’t complain because it could always be WAY worse in so many different regards. All the same…I still wish I was catching some zzz’s like Peshky

Peshky ish the cutish kitteh!
I’m all about The Autumn. It’s still hot here, but my day will come…
I think it was the winter of 80 or 81 we had a wind chill of 86 below zero! I had so many layers of clothes on if I fell down I would never of been able to get up. I had to wear sunglasses on the way to work in the morning while waiting for a bus so my eyes didn’t freeze. I try and think of those good old days when it is July and August here in GA.
Catherine, where are you living?
Peshky,doesn’t he make you just want to go aww! Isn’t it amazing what positions cats can fall asleep in? He looks so adorable.
There’s nothing like a comfortable pair of jeans for a cozy cat nap!
Y’all take care and keep your paws clean,
The CatWrangler
It’s hard work being a kitten. I bet s/he had a really busy day!
*Blue Jeans FUZZ*
Thought I already mentioned this, but I’m a Pennsylvanian too. Grew up in Doylestown mostly, and now live in Paoli.
Another PA neighbor! Funny how we are all in the same general area! Nice to meet you. Later.
Cutie-cute! But guys, Peshky must be a GIRL, not a boy. She’s got those lovely, subtle tortie markings that are genetically sex-linked. Pretty girl! We have a cat named Pesmerga that is nicknamed “Pesgy.”
Awwww! Cuddle, cuddle, kiss, cuddle. Kitties can get comfy anywhere.
