Northern California has suffered some terribly devastating wildfires that have left whole communities destroyed. Hundreds of cats perished but an amazing number of them survived. Many had seared ears and paws, long hair scorched short, whiskers burned off. I cried every day I witnessed yet...

I noticed a cast over Mooni's right eye a few days ago, so I recently took her to the vet.  The vet thinks maybe it is a systemic toxoplasmosis infection, since she has horrible halitosis and dark waxy plaques in her ears with no sign of mites. Since the cost of the visit was climbing with...

My little terror kitty is now five months old. She was a round little fuzzy ball when she arrived and is now a rather rapidly growing fuzzy balloon! I give her one small can of premium food a day and there is a bowl of food in the garage for the other cats. She also visits my mother's house...

Miss Mooni was brought home from the local shelter in July. She had a big belly even at four weeks and she was wormed shortly after. She is now 15 weeks and she has a flap fat roll along her belly line I generally considered a sign of adults being overweight, since I've only seen it on my older...

This video cracked me up, today. I was sitting out on my lawn reading and miss Mooni was playing bite and scratch as usual. I redirected with her favorite purple socks and she absconded with it and took it into the garage as a trophy. Notice she swats my dog, Sonja, before she leaves. Little brat!

Never let it be said that I do things in proper order! I am a 58ish-something silver-haired tomboyish artist/gardener/photographer/animal lover who is in the midst of some trying times of life. Many family and beloved pet deaths and life changes have occurred in the past couple of years, but I...

Sometimes I chide myself when I sit here in tears thinking about my beloved pets that have recently passed, but when I think of all that has happened it is no wonder I am still sad. I have lost four pets and two family members in the past year and a half, overcome a serious health issue, and...

It is difficult to make videos on my ancient computer, so most of my other videos don't have sound, but this one lent itself so well to the chosen song I am posting this one. This is BK (short for BiKini--for the very small patches of white---he's actually a poorly marked Tuxedo) He's a weird...

A few years ago there was a female torbie shorthair momma kitty dumped on our property. With her were two very fuzzy kittens. I had planned to fix and keep momma and find homes for the kittens, but when my dog decided she didn't like her (she was fine with all other cats--??) I rehomed her and...

Mooni is an eleven week old shelter kitten. when she arrived at four weeks she was very fuzzy and had luxurious whiskers. Now that she is getting older her whiskers have been breaking off. At first I thought it might be because of the URI she had, giving the whisker hairs a weak spot ,but she...

When I got my new kitten, Mooni, from the local animal shelter, she was just coming down with an upper respiratory infection so common to kennel occupants. At four weeks of age, I was concerned not knowing if she had received colostrum or had a strong immune system, but in a couple of weeks she...
