Jack

JackThis is Jack, a few hours after having been adopted from the SPCA. He was found wandering the streets of Jean Talon at two months. The poor thing was infested with fleas and very sick, but he was a touch little guy and pulled through.

What a cute little guy. He looks so sad, probably because of what he’s been through. I’m glad he has a new family and will be loved forever.

‘Meezer’ is an affectionate term for a Siamese cat.

*Tori Spelling’s hubby likes her dogs, but hates her cats*
By ANI
Wednesday August 30, 05:23 PM
New York, Aug 30(ANI): Starlet Tori Spelling’s love for animals has been acknowledged by all, but her husband Dean McDermott has his claws out for some of her pets.

Sources claim that while McDermott is fine with Tori’s three dogs a pug, Mimi LaRue, and two mutts, Ferris and Chiquita, and the pair of hamsters, he has made his dislike evident to his wife about her two cats.

“He is trying to get Tori to get rid of her two 10-year-old cats,” the New York Post quoted the source, as saying.

Spelling gave away one feline when she married her first husband, Charlie Shanian, two years ago. But now if she wants to please her present hubby, she may dump the other two, as well.

But, one of Spelling’s representatives has denied any such possibilty, insisting: “She is not giving away any of her animals.”(ANI)

You are right, dump the husband. The cats will be around alot longer than him, especially with today’s divorce rates. Cats are a good judge of character, too. My old tomcat, that I had years ago, was a good judge of character when it came to any boyfriends I brought home. He didn’t like my first guy that came around, neither did I! He did like my boyfriend that I ended up marrying!

He is so cute! He looks like my Thierry Henry did at that age. Anyone notice he has a little M above his mask? So sweet I want to scoop him up and tickle his little brown feet and moosh his little belly.

Thank you for rescuing him. He will love you for life. By the way where is Jean Talon?

*ANGEL FACE*

If you let your eyes relax the M on his forhead looks like angel wings and the nose looks like the angels flowing dress, hence _Angel Face_.

Jack you are a lucky little guy, looks like the angels came down and blessed you! BEAUTIFUL

And here is a perfect “angel kitty” story…..another misty article!

*My Angel Kitty*
I want to introduce you to my “Angel Kitty” No one believes me when I tell them how Angel came in to my life but I hope you will read this and see what a special little man he is.

It was almost Christmas and I had been depressed, it was the first Christmas since my husband Steve had passed away.

My mother and sister had came over to visit me on a Saturday afternoon. When my mother opened the car door to get out, there stood this little black and white kitten. He looked at her and meowed and then ran to my sister as she got out of the car and meowed to her. And then to their surprise he ran up the stepping stone to my front steps at the front door. So my sister picked him up and when I opened the door he jumped from her to me like he was so happy to be home.

I was shocked. I had never seen this kitten before, I had no idea where he came from. I wanted to keep him but I had a dog Little Bit and my cat Tigger and I had just adopted a cat named Brody . I just didn’t think I could keep another one. I sat him back outside on the porch and told him to go home. I had no more than shut the door and he was walking my window ledge meowing to the top of his lungs and my dog started barking and pouncing on the sofa. So I opened the door and my dog ran out and kissed noses with him and they both came back in the house. Angel seemed to know where everything was . He found the food and water and litter box. And then he curled up in my arms and purred himself to sleep. I knew I had to let him stay.

That night when we went to bed, I carried him in the bedroom and sat him on the bed. He went over and got on the side of the bed where my husband had always slept . Then I got in bed and he curled up in my arms and went to sleep. I knew I finally had my snuggle kitty. He sleeps in my arms at night and loves to be held and loved. I like to believe my husband sent him to me for Christmas, so I named him “Angel”.

I have never seen a kitten with that dark mask is that a common occurance or is this unusual? He is beautiful with such lovely soft fur.

Comment by Hadley in NC
2006-08-30 19:52:57

The dark mask is a common occurance for Siamese
kittens, especially for Seal Point Siamese. The white
will gradually turn into a tan color as he gets older. I
have two Siamese cats. Siamese cats are very
intelligent and talkative. He is a beauty now and
will be a gorgeous cat later.

bad joke, coming up….

A dog walks into a butcher shop with a purse strapped around his neck. He walks up to the meat case and calmly sits there until it’s his turn to be waited on. A man, who was already in the butcher shop, finished his purchase and noticed the dog. The butcher leaned over the counter and asked the dog what it wanted today. The dog put its paw on the glass case in front of the ground beef, and the butcher asked, “How many pounds?”

The dog barked twice, so the butcher made a package of two pounds ground beef.

He then asked, “Aything else?”

The dog pointed to the pork chops, and the butcher asked, How many?

The dog barked four times, and the butcher made up a package of four pork chops.

The dog then walked around behind the counter, so the butcher could get at the purse. The butcher took out the appropriate amount of money and tied two packages of meat around the dog’s neck.

The man, who had been watching all of this, decided to follow the dog. It walked for several blocks and then walked up to a house where it began to scratch the door to be let in. As the owner opened the door, the man said to the owner, “That’s a really smart dog you have there.”

The owner said, “He’s not that smart. This is the second time this week he forgot his key.”

One of my feline family members, Patches (a/k/a “Good Little Mommy”) was a stray coming to my back door to be fed, which I gladly did. Fortunately for Patches, I’m an early riser because she would come while it was still dark outside, scarf down as much food as her skinny (not so anymore!) little body could hold, and take off. Unbeknownst to me, Patches had a litter of kittens about 2 blocks from my home.

One Saturday afternoon, I happened to go to my back door just as Patches was coming up the porch steps with “Scrubs” (as I came to call him) by her side. He looked at my, almost smiling, as though he had known me “all his life”. While outside fussing over Patches’ beautiful baby, I heard a faint meowing from a neighbor’s porch. That’s when I discovered “PJ” (Patches, Jr. — a deadringer for her mommy!) I really wasn’t sure what to do, i.e., bring the kittens in, bring babies and Mommy in (???). My vet was closed, so I called one of the shelters and was told to bring in the kitties but leave Mommy outside as apparently she trusted me and was on a mission to bring her babies to me.

Anyway, I’m sorry for having gotten off the beaten path here, but baby #3 (out of a total of 4 brought to me over the course of 4-5 days) was happy as a lark when I discovered him on my back porch with Mommy — but, OH!, when I took him from Mommy and brought him into the house, his eyes immediately went into the saddest droop (much like Jack’s). I told him, “You are the most sorrowful kittie I have EVER seen.” In fact, I called him “Sorrowful” and I believe his forever family (who, thankfully, adopted Sorrowful and Scrubs together) may have kept the name.

Again, my apologies for taking the long way around to get to the point, but since I’ve gone this far, let me share with all you other kittie lovers that I came to realize that Mommy was not only bringing her kitties to my back door to teach them where to come for food when they were hungry — she would stay with each kittie until I happened outside as much as to teach ME that these were her babies so I would be sure to take care of them for her.

All the babies were adopted into loving forever families (I was not able to keep them as my grown up kitties refused to eat while the babies were in the house!), but I did get the prize in the Cracker Jack box when I kept that “Good Little Mommy”, Patches!

If anyone’s interested, the lady from the Friends of Madera (CA) Animal Shelter called and let me know that little Mercy, the kitten who was thrown repeatedly against a wall by a school child while others looked on, has recovered and has a new forever home to go to. She told me that Mercy is loving and silly and everyone loves him dearly at the shelter.

I just wanted you to know, I e-mailed you a few months back, an told you what happened to my Cid. He some how found his way under our pool cover and drowned. It was the most devestating thing. I never wanted another cat. Guess what? My husband found this kitten at a flea market and showed me him. I did not want him. Two days later we went, with our granddaughters to check him out. He was born on our oldest granddaughters birthday. We took him, his name is Joey. He is a wonderful kitty. I read all of your e-mail, and want to say THANK-YOU> I have another kitty.

BLESS YOU ALL

Jack looks like a wonderful cat. I used to have a cat that looked exactly like that, her name was diana. she would always come rushing up to me when i got ready for school,tug on my backpack strings,and guard the door so i would not leave her. i was the only one that she could ever love. But my sister just had to get a dog before i came back from california and give the dog to me as a welcome back present. I mean the dog was cute and all but i sent diana outside and spent “love time” with he dog. Diana must have thought i was abandonning her because i forgot that i left her outside. so around say about 5:30 i came out to get her but……. she was gone! it was the most devestating time of my life i called her name about 100 times but she didn’t come back i wanted to look for her but my mom said ” no it’s to late “. i cried for many suns and moons. It just wasn’t the same getting ready for school or coming home with someone to greet you. if you’ve ever lost a cat you know how i feel, especially if you couldn’t look for her or she never came home. well lets just say i hope you like jack.
