I call that "skitterkitty", and it is one of my favorite kitten moves!
Hello My Friends
Well I went and visited Ginger tonight. She is something else, tearing around and being ferocious. At lest she thinks she is ferocious. A bit of a challenge to get a good photo of. Her eye infection is cleared up but the people looking after her are continuing with the treatment foe a few more days. I took a tee shirt that I slept in last night and put it in her enclosure. I also took her a little mouse that Chessie used to play with. I am obviously biased, but I think little Ginger would bend the needle on the Cute O' Meter. The name Ginger is starting to feel comfortable too. Now I just can't wait to bring the little Knothead home.
Love and happiness to you all and your kitties too.
Jack

Hello My Friends
My name is Jack and I recently lost my little darling Chessie. Chessie was seventeen years old. When I got her she was a tiny tabby orphan. She was so tiny. Her eyes were still blue and I had to bottle feed her for a couple weeks. She was truly exceptional ( I am obviously biased). If you asked her to sit she would. If you said "be ferocious" she would sit up on her hind legs. If you said "put er' there" she would shake. If we were out in the garden or yard and said "time to go in", she would mosey into the house. Ive had many cats over the years but Chessie was the only one who would do this. Chessie got very ill and it turned out to be renal failure. A nightly pill and special food helped her to hang on for a couple years but renal failure finally caught up with her. I still miss her terribly. We are so blessed to have these little angels in our lives. They bring us so much love and happiness. The local cat rescue lady ( a real sweetheart) is helping me to find a new little friend. But there will always be an empty spot in my heart for my little Chessie.

I like the name Ginger for her, she is adorable. Does brother also have a furrever home? If not, could you take both of them?Hello My Friends
Here is a snappy of my new little friend. I think she is a real cutie. She was given the name Ginger by the cat rescue people. I may or may not keep that name. To me, that name should be for an orange cat, but we will have to see what fits. As she is not old enough yet she won't be coming home for a couple weeks. How she came to me is an interesting story. Someone at the dump heard meowing and found a box with some very tiny kittens, estimated to be two weeks old. Unfortunately the box had been run over by a buldozer and three of the five kittens were deceased. The kind soul took the surviving kitties to the rescue folks. There they had a momma cat who's kittens had just been weaned. The momma cat lovingly adopted them and Ginger and her brother survived. Here is a story of cruelness and kindness. Cruelness on the part of the slimy dirt bag that abandoned the kittens, ( jerks like this have tested my faith in human nature ), and kindness on the part of the rescuers, ( folks like this have restored my faith in human nature ). Perhaps her name should be lucky. I can't wait to bring her home. Until then I will be building some perches for her in the windows. Places where she can enjoy the morning sun and watch the wildlife outside. Any suggestion for her name would be welcome.
Your Friend

Hello My Friends
I had not thought about bringing them both home. Next time I go visit I will find out if Gingers brother is spoken for. He has the same paint job as her but is a bit bigger.
