Chunky Monkey - not the icecream

Chunky is sooo much more happy today! We had a petting fest and he even purred for me! Thanks for your well wishes for him.

Debra,

Working to socialize feral kitties is SO rewarding. I just got finished working with the 4 babies whose pictures I posted in the feral colony thread. It only took 2 weeks and the big boy who was the scaredest was purring in my arms on Monday. They now all have wonderful homes. Just in time for the holidays.

Hey Cat,

I hear you with "what's one more". I was going to take KIA, the little tortie female but after a $168. vet bill for Marina Mar, I decided it's best that she get a home that can give her their undivided love and attention. Glad Opie's doing better.

Yeah, you got that right Donna! I just thank God that the peeps at the ABC paid for Cary's vet bill as well as extra meds for the other cats if they catch that "devil" cold. Man, group insurance would be great, huh? How's Marina doing now? I'll give Opie a smooch for ya :laughing2

Chunky has taken over the livingroom and the kitty toys!
He is a BIG boy - about twice the size of poor little Buddy who he tormnets for hours. I am sad that he will be going to a new home soon - I have gotten to love his personality. Ripley and Smudgie are having barrels of fun with these two scamps.

they have homes to go to and aren't out in the wild anymore. GREAT JOB Deb!

everytime I see this thread, I want some Ben & Jerrys

Me Too AP - but everytime I hold little Chunky - I want to keep him too!

You see, you are now a Kitty Magnet and there will be more kitties coming to you real soon........

You are right! There is a big invisible sign around my house that says - come on in! She is a softie!!!!

The hobos used to chalk it on the drives of the kind women who fed them back when jumping trains was a way to travel. I see them in magazines sometimes as necklaces and pendants. Looks like a kitty with no back feet, a simple drawing meaning a kind heart.

My grandmother lived in downtown Albany - her house yard bordered the RR tracks and was marked. Even when I was young, I can still remember Grammy leaving food out for the travelers that came up through her back yard.
