One was a stray, a female. She's not the one I thought was pregnant, I thought she was one of the boys. Anyways after the last ordeal with Jeff I decided to bring her straight to the shelter. She ended up also being FIV+ and about the same age as Jeff (maybe a littermate?). Unfortunatly she was brought to the rainbow bridge. Rest in peace sweat Angel. She was not an angel lol but she had white-ish markings that looked like angel wings on each side of her back and I couln't let her go without a name.


The other one ended up being the neighbors cat, which is good in a way, at least the cat has a home and he is neutered but he is awful skinny. I asked what his name was, she said "well we really didn't name him, we just call him whatever comes to our mind at the moment" Now that is terrible, how can you have a pet with no name, and they have had him since he was a kitten, I would guess he is 1-2 years old. I warned her (very nicely & explained everything about it) that FIV is becoming commoon in the park. She (the owner) didn't seem to care at all. This is a cat that I have been seeing regularlyand has been skinny for a while, I always thought he was a stray. I will be keeping a close eye on this guy.

I didn't get any pics again, my mom had to borrow my camera, but I see him every few days or so, I'll try to get a pic of him when I get my camera back.

Congratulations! Sounds like things are moving along. Sorry to hear Angel was FIV + also. :( Unfortunately it appears that this is going to be a problem until you get the population controlled a little better.

As for the neighbor - :confused: :rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes:

Of course, I shouldn't talk. My mom is horrible about naming her cats also. Her 12 year old pure bred Ragdoll goes by such names as "Inside Kitty" "Poopers" "Cranker" and...well...whatever comes to mind! :o The outside kitty that has been around for 3 years now is known as "Outside Kitty" or "Goofy" and I think "Goofy" is his "official" name, but she doesn't use it much. My dad calls him Goofy all the time and calls the other one Poopers, so.....I guess.....:rolleyes: ;) :D

Oh wow a ragdoll! They are my favorite cats, but until homeless kitties stop needing homes I won't be purchasing any (except from shelters). Maybe I'll get lucky one day & one will cross my path somewhere.
