Jimmy is having a breakthrough!!

You are doing a great job Jenn, all your work is just beautiful

Have you heard anything about how Charlie is doing?

I don't check on Charlie...... I can't help him so I don't want to know....

Now, off to sit outside and look at stuff....... mornings are dreamtime.....

Does anyone know anything about rose moss? Is it poisonous to animals.....

I tried to find out online but might be calling it the wrong name. Not sure what the technical name for it is. I have tons of it...... I would put a little in their area if I could find out for sure that it won't harm them......... It grows rapid as a ground cover and makes pretty little beds..



ALSO........

This stuff here is already growing in a portion of the enclosure....... I have no idea what it is. It sits about 3-4" tall in places. Spreads rapidly.... came back from last yr where I dumped some old potting soil out of a planter that I thought was trash.. I don't know what it is or if it is poisonous and needs to be removed.

what is this? It is very very hardy. It is in an area that we walk across it every single day many times and it survives... I have two pretty good size patches of it.

Jimmy is such a handsome Man!

I had to laugh when I read about them chasing butterflies.
Last summer...when Elliott was still stray we used to watch him running around in the yard chasing and jumping at the butterflies...he loved lightning bugs too...well any bug for that matter

Part of me feels bad for taking him away from all those things he used to love to do, but he has plenty of toys and the other cats to play with and at least I know that he's safe from cars.
If we lived out of town I'd love to build them an enclosure.

Jenn, those plans are amazing and so are you for putting all that time and effort into it.

ETA:
The stuff that you said came out of the planter looks like the stuff my Mother-In-Law has on her porch in hanging baskets every year.
But, I can't remember it she told me it was English or Swedish Ivy... it looks sure looks like her baskets and I know she told me it was some kind of Ivy.

I was thinking it had to be some sort of ivy......... I will do some more searching..... It is a hardy ivy that's for sure.

I've been out there working lightly but got rained out. I actually had a helper today......... Toe Man is struting his stuff checking out everything. I finally found out rosemoss is not poisonous so I made a little area of it around a tree. Toe promply got in it and sharpened his claws on the tree. He loves it!!

I know cigarette butts are poisonous but they are in my post hole. They will be concreted in the ground...






the little area in between will hopefully be grass..........

There's that cute little Toe Man.
He's looking healthy and back to normal.
It sure is hard to believe that he was so sick earlier this year.

had a visitor

Maybe he's a building inspector and he's coming to check out the construction on Kitty Disneyland?

Yes, it is wonderful that Toe is healthy again....... It would have been horrible if he hadn't made it. Felidae seems to agree with him... I keep dog food put up..... And toe begs for it. He loves dogfood.

I'm glad the food agrees with him.

Poor little guy, it's so heart breaking when they beg for something and you know that it's bad for them and they just don't understand.

When Elliott was stray the neighbor gave him milk every single day and the little guy just loves it, but it gives him the runs.
Every single time the fridge door opens he thinks he's getting milk.
I do give him about a thimble full every now and then.

I just read through your entire thread and wow you're doing an absolutely fantastic job.

I live in the middle of a city with concrete and lots of cars all around so I've been vicarously living through you now, having your own land and being able to landscape it to suit you and your cats better.

I really enjoy your posts and seeing the updates, so good luck both to you and your animals (who are absolutely gorgeous both feline and canine) and keep up the good work!

Hi all,

Siggav, I am so glad you enjoyed my post. I just rattle on about any and everything "knowing this should actually be in a separate section" but I can't help it. I have so much to say that it would be hard to find everything if I kept it all separate... So I consolidate in one thread.

And gracie.........one tiny little thimblefull........???? Kissy, my bottle girl get a whole bottle of milk. But I trick her. I give her about 1/8 milk plus warm water in her baby bottle. She drinks it like its vit D.......... [baby animal bottles.....not big bottles....]

I was so glad when daylight got here this morning... I had to send emails to hubby so he coudl see what I did last night. It was dark when he got home from work.......... So this morning he was quite surprised!!!

He said he is fixing to start cutting trees......... Ye haw!!!!!

I never thought about mixing milk with warm water.
I'll have to try that.
I'd give him more than that tiny amount but the poor little guy's belly just grumbles and he has to run to the litter box.

Good job, Juan.
You can't let Jenn take all the credit...even though she's been doing all the hard work

Yeah, you hear that Juan baby....... Your wife has been killing herself working.... [he knows that]...

He also knows he would be in my way if he was out there right now. But when it comes to framing it.......... he is the boss and I am the lowly laborer...... I don't have a clue as to what he does..

So he works and whistles and just gloats at his expertise.
......and I just let him gloat..... It makes him feel so good.....

Jenn

Yep, sometimes you just have to let them gloat and think they're right.

absolutely.......

Occasionally I buy a half gallon of Lactaid for the fur kids. Some like it as much as regular milk and some just give it a look and move on, but they never have trouble finishing up their very own carton of it.

I will have to try that too........ that is a great idea tru..........

oh yeah........... mine will love it....

They never turn anything down..

We have kitty grass!!!!!!!!!!!! And baby catnip plants!!!!!!!!!

This is kitty hill grass.........


This is just good ole grass.


And here is baby catnip.....


It is always so exciting to see fresh growth.....

I want to buy one morel thing of grass so it will be nice and thick. I am also going to transplant some more.

But I doubt today. Looks like we have bad weather coming....

They predict hourly rainfall rates in excess of a half inch. So no watering today......
Jenn

Jimmy and Snoop are really wanting my sausage sandwich....... No such luck....

They both live basically in the kitchen..... They watch that icebox hoping for a dropped crumb of anything........





and I think I have my camera fixed now.........
