    Oh my! I just took a quick look at your babies! Read a bit about the one that was crusted in milk.  Oh what a heart break!! I'd say good thing your husband didn't find the man.  GEEZ I would have kicked his butt too.

    Thanks so much for making me feel a little better. Geez I thought I was a nut for cats! LOL The ferals I've been trying to help are my first. So to say the least I have a long way to go. How very lucky for your cat to have been rescued by you and to have rented a special trailer for him. I did...

    EWWW I feel a little ignorant now.  Uneducated vet?  Yes we don't put HIV positve people to sleep. My mistake. Thanks for the education anyway.  I didn't go through a TNR program. Although the group that I got the trap from initially with Iris does test. Geez I don't know if he was sick or not...

    Help! Taming 6 Month Old Feral!

    My feral/tamed is 8-9 months old.  Yes there were people that told me she was too old too. The first time I brought Iris home she was in a big dog cage and she hated it!! Second time around which was a few weeks later, I brought her home and just let her stay in a room by herself. Check out my...

    Sad note for the daddy feral. I had decided this morning when I took Iris' daddy in to be altered to have him tested. (I wasn't going to at first because Iris had tested negative). But something inside me said "Go Ahead".  Well I just got the call from the vet's office.  He tested positive for...

    LOL! Well never say never! But it NOT my intention at all to take anymore kitties home. I did trap the dad yesterday.  I was trying for mama but oh well maybe I will get her today. I sure wasn't planning all of this at one time.  I have put it off too long just like Iris. I'm still having the...

    Thanks Todd! Last night was awesome.  Edde and Iris are now playing a little bit. I carried Iris out to the living room and sat her in my lap.  She sat there for at least 30 minutes while I petted and rubbed her belly. The huband was shocked. I told him to go get the camera, but he didn't. So...

    Amazing how nieve this old woman is about animals! Never knew it would take this amount of time for cats to become friendly.  But Edde is now wanting to play.  Iris is learning to play with mice. Chasing them beyond the boundaries beyond the bedroom.  Edde has been very gentle and now wants to...

Gave them both treats and praised them. Whether they understood or not! LOL I'm so proud of them.  Iris is...

    thanks Todd! Did you see the picture I put in my album of Iris? She looks like she has already grown and her coat looks so much better since she isn't in that dirty garage.  BTW my husband is talking to Iris now! LOL you guys always amaze me. He says he doesn't like cats but loves Edde and she...

    Another minestone.  Edde is going into the room where Iris is.  She is hissing but I think she is setting the boundaries.  Iris keeps coming out to the hall and exploring more.  Hopefully the become friends soon because I have to go out of town next weekend. Wish me the best. I love both these...

    I will NEVER and I mean Never take an animal to Nashville Animal Control. They put down a friend of mines dog before the waiting period because he had some tumors. They treated her like it didn't matter when she went to locate hime three times.  I will always use the Nashville Humane Society.

    thanks for asking for pic Whaler.  What is your name?  Mine is Ms. Marti. I'm so totally amazed at what is happening tonite. Iris is coming out into the house but is somewhat scared. But she is talking.  She hasn't talked since she's been here.  Edde does have a great tempermate. She did hiss at...

    Okay another bridge being crossed.  Iris really wanted out of the room after being cooped up all day with no interaction from me because I was at work.  I opened the door so that Edde could see her. (Oh Iris hadn't meowed since I brought her home. Now she is walking around meowing). Right now...

    Things are still going good.  I have noticed that my Edde has been looking thru the cat door in the bedroom door.  She has watched Iris in the room without making a fuss. Iris is playing more each day.  Its amazing that a few weeks ago she didn't know how to play.  I guess that is part of being...
