Poor Percy has probably seen more than his fair share of newbies around that house! LOL!
That was a special kinda stupid alright, but funny!
Nesmith’s sense of humor is warped. LOL
Yes, he has. But he’s pretty cool about it overall. He’ll fuss a little but doesn’t really want to fight. Just wants them to leave his special spots alone.
When he first showed up, he crouched in the yard and just screamed his lungs out, ears flat back. I actually told Hubby he might need to shoot him because I thought there was something wrong with him. But then I started thinking he wasn’t angry or mean .... he was terrified. He must have been an inside cat before he was dumped here and was scared out of his mind.
Turns out that was the case and after a little while, he settled down. We kept the others inside and I made sure there was plenty of food and water outside for him.
He’s now one of the sweetest cats here.
Well darn. I hoped things were going better with your mom than they are. You certainly have your hands full with her. :-(
I hate people who can do that to an animal that trusts and loves them and doesn’t know what it did wrong.
i’m glad Percy and the others were lucky enough to find you!
I hate it too. I’m just glad I went with my gut on his behavior. We didn’t know if he was rabid, just mean, or what. We’d never heard a cat scream like that before.
He knows his name is Percy but he also knows his other name is Mr. Wonderful because I call him that a lot. He knows he’s loved here.
I’m pretty sure you are a cat-whisperer. :)
LOL! A few others have said that over the years.
For good reason! :)
Happy Day of no labor, Luv. d:o)
Thanks, Kathy! Hope you get a bit of a break, too! ((((hugs))))
I dunno. I just love kittehs and try to do what’s best for them.
They’ve gone south, and I’m alone today and tomorrow. Substitute Patty was here yesterday and we could have used a third. I had to have my sister call twice to bring her down. I’ve been in and out all day. I’m tired and ready to head to bed. I hope she’s down for the count tonight, but I hear coughing, which isn’t good.
Yes, I saw your later post about it and my heart sank. Sorry she’s gotten I such a bad way this weekend. I’m glad you had help yesterday, at least.
I take it the coughing just started this evening? Doesn’t sound very promising for a good night’s sleep. :-(
Well, you got a lotta kitties to love. :)
How are the kittens doing? Is Ellie back to her old self now? Hope it’s a long time before anykitty else gets puny!
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Happy Labor Day!!!!!!. How's it going?
We certainly DO have a lot of ‘em! LOL
Ellie’s doing fine now. Her appetite is back to normal so it’s all good.
The kittens are doing great. They turned 4 months old today. I’ve been trying to get some new pix of them but to no avail. If they’re awake, they’re in motion and I’m having no luck getting decent shots. They’re only still when they’re asleep.
Churchill (Buckwheat’s half-brother) turned 17 Friday. He’s our oldest.
Awwww...happy birthday, Churchhill! 17...that is an old kitty!
Guess I’d better head out. The early wake-up is catching up with me. See ya tomorrow night whenever we both get here. :)
He’s an old man but is in darn good shape for his age. Most cats lose a little weight when they get that old but he hasn’t. My hope is we’ll celebrate his 18th birthday next year.
I was surprised you were still awake at this late hour after waking up so early. LOL! Sleep well and LATE in the morning. :-)
