I am unbelievably happy hand-raising these kittens. I felt this same happiness and joy when I began caring for five-day-old Juga, and when I found Reina, then a pregnant, stray cat. Kittens, really babies in general, are enchanting and a joy to be around as their helplessness and adorable facial features draw us to their [...]

“He won’t stop crying!” I anxiously told Mom. Of course, I didn’t need to say anything. She could hear him throughout the house. The little gray and white kitten was mewing, nay, screaming as loud as he could. “I’ve fed him and made him go pee,” It was my turn to whine, “and he’s still [...]

A friend of mine sent me a link to the wonderfully inspiring site, The Cat House on the Kings. This woman, and all who help her, are inspirations to cat lovers every where. I am in awe of her and what she’s doing for homeless, feral, and abandoned cats. Her selfless devotion is amazing, and [...]

I dread when Mom’s got a day off from work because I never know to what interior changes I’ll be coming home. Due to the holiday, she had yesterday off since she doesn’t work on Mondays. She loves to clean, and she loves to change things around. I, on the other hand, like things just [...]

As I was cleaning up my station after my last client, my thoughts wandered to the three little kittens that were on their way to me. When I talked to Kristen, I didn’t ask for details, I only wanted to know the vitals on them: how healthy they looked, how old they were, and if [...]

“This is Carolyn,” I said when I answered the phone at work, “How can I help you?” “Hi!” a familiar voice said, “It’s me.” I recognized my Mom’s voice, “Hey, what’s up?” “Look,” she began seriously, “Kristen just called me and told me that she has three, tiny kittens.” Time stopped. “She has no idea [...]

Since the weather has been changing its mind on a daily basis recently, the cats haven’t been able to go outside in the enclosure every day. Therefore, Bruce has been letting us know how upset he is by backing up against Mom’s bed in the living room and spraying on it. And, he waits until [...]

The cats are officially freaking me out! They’re all actually getting along. It’s unbelievable. And, it’s quite unsettling how much they’ve kept to themselves generally since Onni’s death. There have been none of the usual bouts between sworn enemies; however, Pooka is still getting after Tiny Pea. But, it’s not on a regular basis. Toby [...]

Yesterday we went back to the emergency vet hospital and picked up Onni’s ashes. She is our third cat that we’ve had cremated and have kept the ashes. To some this may seem a waste of money or a bit extravagant, but it’s comforting to have them with us. Onni’s ashes are in a plain, [...]

I absolutely love the writing of January Cat on her blog, Karnak Street Cats. Her writing is beautiful and is in the top 5% of what’s offered on the internet. I love the stories as well. I can identify with her and what she experiences in her multi-cat household; I feel for her and laugh [...]
