This Spring I wrote in to this site asking for advice and help in dealing with a stray/feral cat I had taken off the streets and named David d'Khat. Thank you to those who gave me such great advice and support as I dealt with a traumatized cat for the first time. So I thought you would like to...

Let's see .. My gold Confirmation cross Gold Claddagh ring My Cursillo ring Small wires hoops and or studs in the top two holes in each ear lobe Third and lowest ear lobe earrings change daily with my outfit

I know I have not updated in a bit .... things seemed to be progressing until these two incidents .... any insides would be greatly appreciated: 05 July 2010 Most nights when I come home he is on his perch atop a shallow box of fabric cuts which I have covered with an old towel to try and...

Okay, regarding the cat box situation: There are two boxes in the laundry room on the first floor where David spends most of his time. One is the dome hooded model and next to it is a simple rectangular shaped box. However David still seems to prefer peeing on my kitchen or laundry room floor...

I am not sure what quirks would be attributable to being a bottle baby or a nursed kitten .... but one of my cats has the same "thing" for faucets. His mother was a stray and my friend found him living with his litter mates behind a dumpster at her office. From the beginning his preference is...

A few days ago, which was Saturday, I wanted to take a closer look at David's face as there seems to be some swelling on his right cheek. Catching him this time seemed to go much better than the last attempt. He was crouched down near the back door and I was able, by moving slowly, to grasp him...

I realize I have not posted an update on David in quite a while. Last weekend I thought I should get him more used to my touch and I wanted to look him over and see how his physical condition is coming along. So I put on my heavy duty work/garden gloves and off I went. Or rather down I went...

I have two litter boxes in the townhouse for my original three cats - one on the first floor, one on the third floor - and we never had any issues. Now with David being confined to the first floor during the day when I am not home so the other cats don't hassle him - the other three are sharing...

Thank you for the encouragement ... David really is the most challenging cat I have ever "adopted" - here is out latest saga ****************** Well, one step forward two steps back I guess. We had quite the melee last night. My usual routine is to come home from work and re-set my brain from...

Yesterday I saw David make a big step ... actually several of them. I was taking a break from chores in my office and noticed out of the corner of my eye a dark shape slink past. David had left his hiding place and moved into then out of hte laundry room and then into the front hall. I waited a...

I wrote this about a month ago after my friend S lost her cat T.J. to old age and disease, just about a year after she took in a stray named Onyx who has Cerebellar Ataxia. I thought the people here would appreciate it ... ****************************************************** Once upon a...

I think there was a little bit of progress Monday night on the kitty front. I had come home after 9:00 pm and used the back door to enter my office/studio where David has been holed up. As soon as I flipped on the light I noticed a black lump sitting atop a small craft chest that stands...

For the last 10 years or more all my cats have been named after people in the Bible. It started with Shadrach - who was a large orange tabby I took in from the vet when his owner died. Like his namesake he knew how to go his own way and stand his ground. He passed of bone cancer about six years...

Welcome Brooklet I have not been here that long but everyone has been very nice and very helpful. If your husband is Navy then I assume you are over in Bremerton? Dad was Army Intel - ASA, my sweetheart has done 30+ in the AF and Army - Black Ops and has finally messed up his hand enough he...

I finally have a few moments and thought I would show off my "kids" Naomi - found as an abandoned kitten of about four months old. She is now the undisputed Queen of the House. We think she is part Japanese Bobtail as she has only a small bunny puff on her backside instead of a tail Tigger...
