Hi Everyone,
RED -- CUTE BABY --- what's his name???
I'm still here, TOO
I've been very busy TRYING to sew a set of *cage curtains* for Dagger's next show (next weekend) and a SEAMSTRESS I am NOT !!! (cat lady, yes, seamstress NO)
To top it off, my 4 bengals and 2 of my 6 rescues have been bound and determined to HELP me, every time I get out fabric, pins, measuring tape, sewing machine, iron... anything to do with the production of sewing ANYTHING...
If they aren't LAYING on it, they are pulling the pins out, or trying to "strum" my thread as I attempt (yes ATTEMPT) to baste the different pattern pieces together. Or, trying to pull the fabric off the ironing board while I TRY to iron it ???
I even almost had a whisker catastrophe with Dagger sticking his NOSE in my sewing machine WHILE IT WAS RUNNING (YIKES) to try to CATCH the MOVING needle with his teeth???? What was he thinking???
Meemonkey -- thanks for the kind words, regarding my affinity for my cats. There are 10 in all (One who REFUSES to socialize with the others, who I've built a nice little "home" for, on my screened in porch) NINE who live indoors with me. One sleeps with my son... I RARELY sleep with LESS than 5 or 6 on my bed -- ONE on my PILLOW, holding my head down with his paw (grin)
Then the others lounge or nap on the various cat trees I have adorning the "decor" of every room in my home EXCEPT my bathrooms (LOL)
As I said, I have 6 "rescues" in all -- and 4 bengals. And love every one of them!!!
And, if anyone wonders what ELSE I've been doing (grin) Other than working full time, and TRYING to keep things picked up behind the FURKIDS...(when I'm not preparing food for them) ... they OBVIOUSLY haven't ever lived with 9 cats indoors. ALL of whom demand "mommy time" -- sometimes at the MOST in-opportune moments.
And, for those of you who haven't read many of my posts -- ALL of my cats (even the Bengals) are neutered or spayed... so I'm not contributing to the population -- not that I have ROOM on my BED for more kittens (grin)
I do participate in rescue, when I can help -- and donate to a no-kill rescue organization when I can, as well.
So -- when people "flame" me, for having BREED kittens, I simply laugh...
And Heidi --- if you've read this far (grin) BLESS YOU for rescuing and LOVING Macy during her final days... I can see you and I are kindrid spirits. (smile) Moonlight - my "screen porch kitty" came to me in similar circumstances, only she was a YOUNG mother who brought her 2 kittens to me from a neighbor's house... starving, dehydrated, covered in fleas, and with URI... I vetted them, cared for them, and found the kittens a home... while Moonlight made it clear she didn't want to LEAVE... but didn't want to live indoors, so I built her a little "home" inside my screened porch, and keep her safe, and well cared for - despite her distaste for my INDOOR FELINE ZOO... (grin) I am thankful that only a few weeks a year, the weather is just TOO cold to leave her out there, and I bring her into my "guest room" to keep her warm and healthy.... She has been with me for 6 years, now... and is perfectly content in her "private suite" :rolleyes:
Laura -- I have an "Emma" too
She is Dagger's little sister, who the breeder gave to me, because she did not want to separate her from Dagger - the two of them are VERY BONDED... and right now (as I write this) are terrorizing the adult cats, because after dinner and a nap, they are ready for the Bengal 500 race that goes on every evening, before "bedtime"
OH... one more thing -- a couple of photos -- one of Emma, being arrogant (grin)
And, one of Dagger doing his vulture impression from my 6'6" tall curio cabinet
Well -- I've ran ON and ON... sorry for the long post...
Keep those furbabies safe and warm and full of "yummies"
