The Day of the Orange Cyclone

Just got back, he tested negative on all the yucky stuff.

He is 3 years old and has fleas, earmites, lice and an URI. He will be home tonight and I will keep him upstairs for about a week then bring him down to see if I can integrate him with the others. I will in the process be putting weight on him and trying to find him a loving forever home. But around here, what adopts out the quickest are the kittens.

Yeah (on the negative results) Hissy!!!!!!! You're an angel for doing this for Cyclone....

He is home, he has been medicated, had his ears cleaned out and ointment put in his eyes. He has a funny little way of talking to me sort of in an underbreath kind of way, when he is telling me he has had enough! LOL I have decided to call him Grumbles instead of Cyclone, might be easier to find a home for him with a name like that! Mike is such a doll, he made a sturdy chicken wire barrier over the window so that Grumbles can't escape even if he wants to!

Grumbles is a cute name . I am sure he was grumbling to you complaining that his manlyhood is gone

MA, he is beautiful. I'm so happy that he has nothing too serious, and that he has you there for him.


I've been really emotional lately, and everytime I see a picture of a feral, or stray that has been rescued or that needs a home I just cry so hard.


Reading your stories makes me smile. You do so much.

No Cass,

I feel like I don't do enough. I just do all I can.

OMG he is so handsom , I would take him in a heart beat

LOL Hedi!

You need another cat as bad as I do! But thanks, I hope he will be able to find a home. His color is very desirable. His ears are pitch black with ear mites, we had a cleaning this afternoon, and he was oh so tolerant of me doing this to him. I do hope he knows I am trying to help him. I had to make a different litter pan for him- he wasn't using the regular box so I made him a mini dirt field using the tray out of our large dog cage-

All of you fingers are still intact after cleaning his ears ?

they appear to be- His ears are in such bad shape you need a chisel to get the gunk out. They are the worst I've seen.

Awww, he looks so peaceful. I'm quickly starting to fall in love with him.

Ears can take a long time for that to clear up . That is hard work every day cleaning I am sure his ears are sore too .

I can't believe how far you've come with this guy already! How's the dirt-box working out?

I'm so glad his basic problem seems to be just parasites! Not surprising on the URI, but so treatable! Not getting scratched anymore while giving him meds?

And he really is looking cuddly these days! But in these pics it looks like his head is SO BIG!

Scritches to Grumbles!!!

Because there are no high sides, but last night he finally used it! And poor kid, he has been eating twigs and tree bark!

Aaaaw! Poor guy. It is amazing that he seems so content when he is having to go through so much.

It sure does warm my heart to see and read how well he is doing.

I stuck my head in his closet this morning and he came over and head-bumped me- he really is a tolerant fella- It is so hard to believe that he was such a destructive cyclone of a cat in his first time at captivity!

It looks to me he really is a sweetheart . MA you are doing a great job

I think he passed, and he didn't grumble one time! LOL
