I so love cats; they are just the coolest 😻. I love animals in general and go into heart pounding rage when I hear anything about animal cruelty. I saw a video yesterday of someone dumping a dog by the side of the road, and a man that lives nearby regularly adopts these poor babies as the dumping there is common practice. Another I didn't watch showed a dumper who then ran over the dog.
If I had the money and facilities, I would take every stray in. I still tear up when I think about cats I've lost over the years. My current baby was a rescue from the middle of a 4-lane interstate who caught my eye as I was driving. Apparently she was dumped but wasn't injured except that her paws were raw and bloody from trying to climb the concrete median wall and running. After I got her home, she couldn't even move her hindquarters for a whole day because she was so worn out.
The dogs see cats as prey, going by their behaviour when I walking them down in the village. "Small thing running equals fun"-stance.
There's an abundance of foxes and badgers.
Plus the lynx that prowls the woods around here.
Also, eagles.
People down in the village let their cats roam, and every once in a while one of those cats disappears. It's sad but that's life and the price for living free-er than most cats. Mostly though it's summer guests who loses a cat. Some of those are stupid enough to bring a city cat used to apartment life and then let it roam free. Poor kitty just isn't used to a forest full of things to whom kitty = food.
Trying to explain that to city-people is like telling a mask-cultist masking doesn't work.
Take good care of your animals folks. If you make the calls, then you bear the blame.
theres a ginger tabby in my neighbourhood that if i pet him he wont let me go. if i try to walk away he jumps up at me and runs in front to trip me up!
Suddenly an onion appeared in the crying video. I can't even guess at how many times my kitties have done the very same thing. All of them, even back to my Siamese cat when I was a small child. They always know. When I've been sick and stayed home from work or school = same thing! I'm glad G is better and Bonnie is back. Beeeeg hugs to G and Bonnie!

Every time I read one of these cat posts I start itching and have trouble breathing.
Just roared at the CatGPT re Brandon! Biting his tail is the equivalent of "I'd rather eat hair", a saying that makes me crazy. Well done!
Cats are the BEST. Watch Cat Hospital on Acorn TV
SC - Thank you for the B update, G reading?
If you go fishing...you must expect to get wet.
Don't have a cat here for a couple of reasons:

Awwwww. The kitten sucking on it's tail. That's so sweet and cute!
I LOVE this! And so glad to hear that G is getting better and Bonnie is spoiled!
Thanks, your Monday missives are always welcome.

Can you tell that I'm a cat person?
