If you follow my blog (and I hope you do, even if I don’t blog everyday) you know that I have had a lot of cats. I am a chronic cat adopter, but no worries, I keep all my kitties till they pass. Last year we had a horrible year when Sebastian was diagnosed with [...]

Gwen keeps picking a fight

With the biggest cat in the house. He is as big as he looks, atleast 20 pounds. You can see how concerned he is that he is going to lose.

New Kitty’s New Name

We went through a collage of names trying to find something. Our original pool was: Calypso Seraphina Dot I also loved all the suggested names that y’all left in the comments, especially Raja.  Additionally I considered Athena, Artemis, Erowyn, Xena, and Bleu..anyway, poor kitten was going to end up being called “kitten” if I dwelled [...]

Heart Healing

Last night my husband took me around to every SPCA, cat shelter, cat find-a-new-home-cause-someone-sucks-and-didnt-get-their-cat-spayed place. In the beginning, we found plenty of cats that were wonderful and sweet, but I found none that said “that’s our new family” member. I just know when its the right fit.

3 Legged Cat: Graphic Photos

Today I became the owner of a disabled pet due to  Vaccination-Associated Fibrosarcomas (ie cancer due to Rabies Vaccination). Even with this amputation surgery, we have zero idea of his prognosis for the future, but everything I read isn’t overly positive. We pray we bought some time for him…and for us. I guess I wasn’t [...]

Sebastian is in Recovery

kitty

The dr called yesterday and said that they found no other detectable cancer in his body and proceeded with the  amputation surgery. They took his leg up to his body, but didn’t take any of his hip. Like a good cat, once he woke up in the cake, he was infuriated and was trying to [...]

Sebastians Surgery

bastian

Well, today is the day. The day my Sebastian goes into surgery, inevitably pissed that he is at the vet yet again, and wakes up with three legs. I wonder what he will think. I wonder if he will wake up and think, why cant I stand? Why does it hurt? Why could I stand [...]
