The girls and Peanut will be going to the vets to get spayed and neutered on April 22nd. that was the soonest I could get all 3 scheduled on the same day. Peanut has been a funny addition to the house. Squirt and Shadow are both getting much more exercise these days chasing him around the...

We assumed that Peanut was a girl based on the way she was acting - like she was in heat - and the way the outside Tom was acting around her. Well, after being downstairs with the girls for a couple of days Momma appears to have gone into heat as well and at one point last night Peanut went over...

Baby has been flirting with me a little and letting me get in real quick pets. This morning she accepted scratchies....but not just regular scratchies - belly scratchies!! Now every time she sees me she rolls on her back and makes little mewing sounds until I scratch her belly! I am soooo...

Squirt loves them and asks for them several times a day with his sexy, throaty meow. Shadow I think has a ticklish tummy and when she exposes her belly to accept a rub, if I rub too lightly I get bunny kicked. so I rub pretty hard and she rewards me with cooing purdles. Lori, Rick, Shadow &...

We have several Squirt belly shots, but finally decided on this one.

Shadow isn't a talker, infact she rarely meows at all. Squirt, on he other hand talks all the time - even in his sleep. When he first camed to our house he would open the door and announce his arrival. He uses alot of different tones, too. I know what his mood is just by the way he is talking...

Shadow used to dash for the door and a couple of times got out...then she just cowered under the porch refusing to come out - until her tummy got the best of her. So we bought a harness and when we were outside working in the yard she was allowed out on a rope. She didn't like it at first, but...

Rick and I have discussed toilet training ours a couple of times. I have to admit it would be nice not to have top deal with Squirt's odiferous offerings. I think shadow would be easy to train. When Rick goes into the bathroon she goes into her litter, like she understands what is happening...

Everything you said makes perfect sense and was our original plan. However it got cold quickly - very cold and the girls would not use the shelters we provided. We wanted to bring them in to stop them from freezing to death. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on from this site...

No luck with trapping Momma yet. She keeps a well away from Rick now but she will come within a few feet of me. My work schedule does not allow me to take time to get her in the carrier but hopefully on Friday I will have some success. Mean time Baby is still in the basement hiding herself. I...

As expected, Momma did come back today and was not as afraid of us as we thought she would be. It is still going to take us a few days to trap her, I think. At least the weather is a little warmer, As for Baby, she is somewhere in our basement. We have not seen or heard her since she arrived...

I'm pretty sure momma will be back tonight or tomorrow morning for food. Rick says he can bolt the carrier to the deck and then we will use a rope, like we did when we recaptured Squirt. She definitely will not go in if we are close now. As for Baby we have not seen her all day but our...

We have 2 indoors and feed and care for 3 outside. We are currently trying to capture the 2 girls that are outside and bring them in for the winter so our indoor population is about to double!

When Squirt first came to us he didn't like to stay in for extra long periods of time. In fact after we had him neutered he jumped out of the upstairs bathroom window because he was so freaked by staying in so long...and this was in late january when it was still very cold. However, over time he...

Congratulations on the newest member of your fur family! Lori, Rick, Shadow and Squirt

When we first lost Squirt, we let all of the shelters know in case he was brought in. we also visited a couple of "unofficial" shelters - people who have made it their life to rescue animals and have built barns and shelters to accommodate them. What an eye opener! After visiting one that has...

Momma and baby still are not, as far as we can tell, using either of the shelters we have set up for them. Every morning and evening they are coming up from under our porch. If we get any more snow, they will either be trapped under there or unable to get in, so this is not a good solution. The...

I was home last winter for a month after a heart attack with just the cats all day and Rick thought I was loosing it, too. I think they sensed I was 'not quite right' because they would spend every day snuggling with me when I napped and entertaining me when I was awake. I never did get them...

It was highly recommended by the lady at the bookstore yesterday. Rick said something about Squirt and Shadow getting it for me for Christmas.

Noel is such a beautiful kitty! I have always had a special place in my heart for black and white kitties! I had Cheeky for 13 years before she had a stroke and crossed the bridge. My grief was almost unbearable at times and Rick and I decided no more pets. It was just too painful. But within a...
