Inny!

Can't help it; I've been snapping photos of Inny PO'M like crazy!

I jazzed these two with my Prisma app, then made jigsaw puzzles out of them.

Enjoy!

Just The Facts

Just got home from jury duty!

PO'Monday on Friday!

Zonked out!

Enjoying a beat-up scratcher.

Rolling on the throw rug!

 Paddy O'Malley's dental appointment is Thursday, August 19.

The blood test show that he is healthy, and able to be put under anesthesia.

His T-4 (thyroid) number is elevated; something to monitor.

His weight is a smidge under 11 lbs, and they guesstimate that he's about 10 years old.

He's FIV negative, and has been given the okay to mingle with the other Eastside Cats.

Paddy received a shot of antibiotic, to help heal his licked-off fur bald spots, and it appears to be working.

If his constant licking continues, we'll consider steroids or something to ease his allergic reaction.

Most likely, he's allergic to flea bites, and I learned that the flea/tick stuff I've been dosing him with for years only kills when the flea bites.

There are other meds that kill fleas if they just land on the cat; we'll consider using this if being inside and away from fleas doesn't cure him.

At this point, I sit with him in his room multiple times a day, and allow him to explore Sweetie's Apartment when she is asleep in the bedroom.

Going very, very S-L-O-W-L-Y with any introductions.

I LURV The PO'M!!!

Too Many 'Hood Cats

Images snapped while on my neighborhood walk:

A neighbor's grandkids drew chalk stars, butterflies, and cats on the sidewalk.

Guy was happy to see me, and I him.
He's a stray that a neighbor is caring for.

One-eyed ginger, who has a home and humans, I'm told.

A mama kitty, whose three kittens hid from me.

Sure, it's fun to visit with the 'hood cats, but there are too many strays.

Folks think that they are being kind by feeding outside cats, but getting them TNR'd is what MUST BE DONE!

I speak of it to anyone who is interested, and to some who think it's someone else's problem.

Our communities need to get a grip on the overflow of intact cats; there are plenty of low-cost clinics in our area, and the county animal control will even assist with transporting trapped cats to the clinic and back again.  

I certainly cannot TNR my entire neighborhood, nor can I force my way onto other people's properties...as much as I'd like to, to help cats.

I know I'm singing to the choir.

I am so very thankful for fosters, trappers, neonatal kitten feeders, and the veterinary folks who go above and beyond to help cats in need.

We cannot adopt our way out of this!

TNR! TNR! TNR!
