hello, i just clicked on a kitten called bean, because that is my nickname, from my mother and i have it tattooed on my wrist, i google searched the word ,or name bean (it appears to be quite a popular surname…) and found a kitty called jelly bean! so there i am looking at all these things people have been writing about little Jelly Bean and about their cats, if you have 19, that must be really hard work…! and i noticed your mummy cats are called Miss Diva Emma and Miss Elizabeth shoe! well i just think thats very cool, i am a little diva and i love shoes i have 72 pairs, i dont have any cats but i have an old puggy puppy called elvis and he has his own puppy shoes from harrods. i think your cats have very lovely names. Emma Elizabeth ,

ahhhhh, Jelly Bean is sleeping, all cuddled up in the arms of her human parent….so sweet. I can almost hear her purring!
Awww. Jelly Bean, you already know there is nothing like curling up for a power nap in a loved one’s arms.
Cute, very cute. Love that contented look on her face! And she looks so soft too!
Cheryl—
Has your neighbor had any luck catching the stray cat in your area? I’m glad you were able to remove the collar at least. You and your neighbor are that stray’s guardian angels.
Jelly Bean, I couldn’t forget you! I would have adopted this kitten in a heartbeat! Absolutely adorable. I love everything about her!
So precious and innocent! Trusting and not a care in the world! Love her always!
What a charming little girl. She gives me the warm fuzzies.
AW! Jellybean, she’s just too precious! I love snuggle kitties. This was a nice start to my day.
I want to snuggle that tummy!

*A Living Love*
If you have ever loved an animal, there are three days in your life you will always remember . . .
The first is a day, blessed with happiness, when you bring home your young new friend. You may have spent weeks deciding on a breed. You may have asked numerous opinions of many vets, or done long research in finding a breeder. Or, perhaps in a fleeting moment, you may have just chosen that silly looking mutt in a shelter — simply because something in its eyes reached your heart. But when you bring that chosen pet home, and watch it explore, and claim its special place in your hall or front room — and when you feel it brush against you for the first time — it instills a feeling of pure love you will carry with you through the many years to come.
The second day will occur eight or nine or ten years later. It will be a day like any other. Routine and unexceptional. But, for a surprising instant, you will look at your longtime friend and see age where you once saw youth. You will see slow deliberate steps where you once saw energy. And you will see sleep when you once saw activity. So you will begin to adjust your friend’s diet — and you may add a pill or two to her food. And you may feel a growing fear deep within yourself, which bodes of a coming emptiness. And you will feel this uneasy feeling, on and off, until the third day finally arrives.
And on this day — if your friend and whatever higher being you believe in have not decided for you, then you will be faced with making a decision of your own — on behalf of your lifelong friend, and with the guidance of your own deepest Spirit. But whichever way your friend eventually leaves you — you will feel as alone as a single star in the dark night.
If you are wise, you will let the tears flow as freely and as often as they must. And if you are typical, you will find that not many in your circle of family or friends will be able to understand your grief, or comfort you.
But if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through the many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul — a bit smaller in size than your own — seems to walk with you, at times, during the lonely days to come.
And at moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary to happen, you may feel something brush against your leg — very, very lightly.
And looking down at the place where your dear, perhaps dearest, friend used to lie — you will remember those three significant days. The memory will most likely to be painful, and leave an ache in your heart.
As time passes the ache will come and go as if it has a life of its own. You will both reject it and embrace it, and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache.
But there will be, I assure you, a fourth day when — along with the memory of your pet — and piercing through the heaviness in your heart — there will come a realization that belongs only to you. It will be as unique and strong as our relationship with each animal we have loved, and lost. This realization takes the form of a Living Love — like the heavenly scent of a rose that remains after the petals have wilted, this Love will remain and grow — and be there for us to remember. It is a love we have earned. It is the legacy our pets leave us when they go. And it is a gift we may keep with us as long as we live. It is a Love which is ours alone. And until we ourselves leave, perhaps to join our Beloved Pets — it is a Love we will always possess.

Dee you did it again. You have me crying at my desk. ( and I am sure others are joining me) Don’t stop posting though. There wouldn’t be tears if there hadn’t been great love.
Me, too, I’m sniffling, hoping no one comes to my cubicle with a question…. what’s wrong? That is beautiful, Dee, thank you. About a week after my Freud (21-year-old tomcat) had to be put to sleep after a stroke, he visited me. I was watching TV and I felt him brush along my legs and saw him from the corner of my eye. I reached down to pet him, but he wasn’t there…of course. But he was in spirit, I believe he really was there. I still feel him around from time to time and think of him and ache for him.
I had to read - stop - read - stop 4 times because I was trying not to embarrass myself by crying too much at work. I failed. Oh well. That was lovely!
I love how this little baby’s little front paws are curled up - too sweet!
thank you Dee…that was very fitting.
T
Very sweet…but I have found there’s another day: When you find a “Jelly Bean” of your own to bring home and start the cycle again!
*Amen!*
She’s just adorable! She looks so content all snuggled in the blanket!
Torties are special.. I have two “dilutes” just like Jellybean..
Fantastic name! It goes with the kitten so well.
Dee… thank you. We lost Anne McCatfrey after 23 (yes 23!) years and she still visits us… a warm spot on her favorite pillow, a silly memory… the ghost of a muzzle nudge… she’s still here as long as we remember.
another tortoise! so sweet! you just want to put her in your pocket and keep her close all day.
i think it’s a sign i keep mine - although the other 4 are just as adorable! it’s so difficult!
hi dott, it would not let me reply yesterday??
i was thinking that if you live in an erea with any pet stores that might be a good place to post a notice, or some of them work with no-kill groups
good luck
Beautiful Tortie!! My first baby was a Tortie, I called her Mudd, which is what she looked like. I lost her 4 years ago at 18 years old & still miss her very very much, she was quite a talker.
CUDDLE, CUDDLE, CUDDLE……..
Did anyone read this article in the news today? I think it’s great!
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A prized cow that lost a leg in a farm accident in Australia may soon be walking back on all four hooves after medical experts offered to help its owner find an artificial leg.
Farmer Geoff Heazlewood began the search for a new leg for his breeding Jersey Theresa two months ago after the cow fell down a river bank and broke its leg, forcing vets to amputate the limb between the knee and ankle.
Theresa is a prized breeding cow at Heazlewood’s stud farm in the southern island state of Tasmania, with genetic lines from Canada, and the farmer said he was determined to get the animal back on four hooves.
“I just want to try and do the best I can for the animal,” Heazlewood told Reuters Wednesday. He said prosthetic legs were common for dogs and cats and were worth trying for a cow.
“The cow is perfectly well,” he said, adding that Theresa was able to hobble around her paddock despite losing the limb.
He said four prosthetic limb makers and experts had offered to help make and fit an artificial lower leg.
Heazlewood said an artificial leg might be unusual for a cow, but most stud farmers and breeders would go to extraordinary lengths to look after their animals.

EVANGELINE:
Are you anywhere near Dawson College? I’ve been following the news throughout the day. What a horror!
Thanks for asking Dee. Actually it is about 10 minutes from me …I could hear the sirens,that is what made me turn on the tv.
(I work from my home.) Yes it is awful when something like this happens. I hate guns! This freak had an automatic weapon, pray tell besides police and military why should anybody own one….Such a sad world. It seems there is no end to the ways humans can hurt each other…..
What a cute little snuggle bunny.
*NAP ATTACK FUZZ*

Jelly Belly Bean is a cutie pie!!!!!!!!!!
Jellybean is adorable!
Jelly Bean is a sweet and precious little fur ball! Please give her a big and gentle hug for us. May God bless you and this baby always.
That looks like one happy and VERY contented baby.
She knows she found the right home.
Hey, everyone! Jellybean–oohhmy! one of many cuties! Dee, you got me blubbering, again!!
Baby, my 4-legged daughter is doing much better after having to swallow gel-caps and getting liquid medication down her little throat. She had one of her treats this evening; chicken lung. She isn’t chowing down as she did before, but I believe that will come aback, soon.
I had been sssssooooo worried about her–all sorts of bad scenerios in my head!! I’m still praying her health continues on this up-swing.
Thank you for the prayers and well-wishes.
My sister just lost her cat. She had him for almost 20 years. His rescue was pretty spectacular. We heard him mewing and discovered him at the tippy top of a fairly young tree. Thinking hunger and thirst would bring him down, we put food and water at the bottom of said tree. Three days later he was still howling and hadn’t moved at all. We grew so worried and sick for him. He cried constantly - it was heartbreaking. And then a friend told us that many cats die in trees. This galvanized me into action. I called the local fire department and told them the story. Ten minutes later some of Chicago’s finest, and, I would like to add, most handsome, fire fighters got him out of the tree and snuggled him into a blanket we had given them. We left him in the basement w/ food, water, a bed and a couple of kitty toys. Every day we would try to make contact, but he was just to scared. One day my sister opened up her back door and he ran inside talking up a blue streak… as though it was about time someone let him in! Little Willy never did stop talking. He was one of the dearest, kindest little cats I’ve ever known. If you were down, he was right there by you. If you were happy, he was even happier. If you were sick, he wouldn’t leave your side till you felt better. He wasn’t even mine, but I have such a hole in my heart for both her, and him. He left this earth very comfortably w/ my sister at his side. When he took his last breath he actually reached up to touch her face w/ his little paw, as he often did to express his love. God bless little Willy. God bless all rescues and those that rescue them.
What a sweet story. Thank you for sharing it.
What an absolutely adorable ball of Fuzz! Jelly bean is such a cute name. It makes my day brighter now. We are having rain like there is no tomorrow. Anyway, I’m typing one handed as Tigger, my 16lb bundle of joy, is up on my shoulder getting his morning lovin in. He likes to look at the Daily kitty pictures too!
Enjoy your bundle of fur and have many years of love together.
Bryan, hug your sister for me. Resuce babies are always special. Tell her I promise the pain dulls, but the love she felt from Willy will never, ever fade. She’ll know when it’s time to get a new friend… Willy will approve.
awwww. so cue! and very tiny…
What an absolutely adorable little jelly bean she is. She doesn’t look very fierce in her photo, perhaps an after battle nap?
