I can't get over how tough kittens are. Little Mud Pie has used one of his lifes before he was 3 months old and there he is- sleeping like a little angel:)
Yes, of course I thought of Birdie here.
I am so glad he came in the right moment- everything fell in place:) I won't give any suggestions- we would need more families like the one Angel, Nessa and Elfie are going because then it would be easier to limit your cat herd;)
He looks like my sister's kitty, Mudpie. What a little cutie! I'm sorry but I'm going to have to join in with the choir: KEEP THE LITTLE CUTIE!!!!:D :D :D
OMG! Lisa, Mud Pie is too adorable! He looks so sad covered in mud, but beautiful under the mud ;)
*I* personally think that the CCL kitties need a tuxie :D
Yeah, uh-huh, right. I've been saying that for almost 10 years now. When I brought LilEli and Tabitha to their new home, I vowed...no more rescues, no more fostering (except for Parker who is grand-fathered in), no more new cats. PERIOD.Quote:
How many times have I said no more but they keep coming? NO MORE!!!!!! This has got to stop!!!
Yeah, right. That's all I'll say for now.
Oh man, you have me in tears. I even made my husband come over and look at the before-and-after pictures and he - Mr. "I-hate-cats-and-am-plotting-their-demise" - smiled and said how cool it was that you were able to do that for Mud Pie. (If only you knew my husband... this is HUGE!)
It's people like you, crazycatlady, that make me think that maybe the world is an okay place after all... :) God bless you and little Mud Pie. If you can't keep him - I'll take him and I know my husband won't put up a big fight either! :)
Mud Pie is so cute and I just love his name!:D
I always thought that you needed at least one black and white kitty in your signature.;)
My first thought when I saw that first picture of Mud Pie was how much he reminded me of Birdie also.
Lisa, what a blessing that this precious little one was saved from going to the RB. He is so darn adorable and I just love those beautiful blue eyes of his. I have never seen a tuxie with blue eyes. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.
Have I missed something here??????? I know you have Sissy with her babies, but how did you go from 12 cats in your signature and say that Mud Pie would make 20.???????????
Have you decided to keep Sissy and her babies????
My, my, my Lisa. Have you failed fostering this fast already.:D
Bless you for helping this little sweetheart! Mud Pie is so adorable!! :D
What a sweet story and mud pie is just too too adorable! Bless your heart for saving this little one. He certainly has already made quite an entrance into a lot of PT hearts! :D
**hugs**
Mud Pie update
So far still so good. He is getting stronger and more energetic by the minute. :)
To answer the big 20 question. I started with 12 and took in Sissy and her babies. I had every intention of keeping Sissy and adopting out the five babies which would have made 13. Unfortunately three of the little ones are black, and one tortie, which makes them so unadoptable. Our shelter is full of black and tortie babies to adults. I figured early on that this would be a problem. Since no PT'ers were able to help out either ;) I started counting them as part of the Brat Pack. That makes 13 + 4 = 17. Then there is the adorable solid gray baby that is highly adoptable but it just doesn't seem fair to make her be the only one to leave. ;) :p Ok, that now makes 18. Of course we can't forget that Opie is now a permanent Brat too. We are now up to 19. Add in the Mud Pie and it comes to an even 20. :eek:
I admit it....I'm a huge SUCKER!!!!
Here are a few new pictures of Mud Pie tonight.
Attacking the killer pink mouse!

He rolled himself into his little blankie while trying to kill the bad old mouse!

Hey look Ma, I made a friend!

We color coordinate just perfectly!

All this mouse killing is starting to wear me out.

Good night little Mud Pie

That little quilt he is laying on came from the shelter and was made and donated by either Debbie (sirrahbed) or Laura. I'm not sure which one made this one but Mud Pie is sure enjoying it.
Jan that picture of Birdie is the one that will never ever leave my head! That is the exact picture that flew into my mind when I got my first glimpse of Mud Pie. It is amazing the similarities between the two. I do believe they both have Guardian Angels!
Ok, now there a few of you that can go ahead and start letting me have it about fostering! I always told you all that I couldn't do it and now you can clearly see why! :eek:
OMG, there's NO WAY you can give him up to anyone else! He is so adorable, and there must be a reason he came to YOU the way he did. He is so cute!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of him as he grows!:D
Lisa... now YOU can be the one who gets the ribbing about being a foster failure! you've failed in spades! :D :D
But who could resist these precious little babies? You nearly doubled the brat crew just this month alone! LOL
Gosh, what is next spring's klitten season bringing you? ;)
omg
what a cutie!!
hugs to you Lisa!
Go ahead Catnapper, I deserve everything you can dish out!:rolleyes:
:D :D The "failed in Spades" cracked me up! :D :D
You know, I never thought about it being Moses that saved the kitten with a blood transfusion until Jen and Debbie mentioned it. That is kind of cool, huh?
Jen- "A God-send" :D
Debbie- "sent to the promised land" :D
You guys crack me up!!!!:D
Well, it looks like Mud Pie has become a PT kitty and it's kind of out of my hands now. The fault is all of PT's! I had nothing to do with him staying!!!! :D :D :D
You're going to need a new signature to fit all those brats in!
:rolleyes: nice to think that you have an excuse on this one. :DQuote:

He is simply too cute for words. I could squish him!! ;)
You won't hear anything from me but I was serious when I said that if you just can't keep him, I will take him. Kentucky isn't that far from MD - we can work something out.
Love the new pictures, especially the one where he rolled himself into the blanket!
That blankie looks like one I made and I was going to start making them again, have LOT'S of donated stuff but then Eddie had that accident....
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a/f23f6383.jpg
QSL, you DID have to post that pitiful picture of Birdie again and make me cry. I can NOT look at that one without crying...STILL! And I think those pictures of Mud Pie will always bring tears to my eyes too.
Lisa, I came back to this thread to ask how he is doing and there he is in new pictures with updates. He is having a whole lot easier time in his recovery than Birdie, that is great! (No kitty should have to go through what Birdie went through) But Lisa, DO take credit for stepping up and bringing him home. We never realize what "LOVE" means to those babies and especially a sick one. Eddies PT told me that having someone to root them on and be there to support them makes a HUDGE differance in patients recovery.
This picture is just the sweetest!!! :) :) :)

Those great big full moon eyes are captivating....kisses all over that baby for me please. ;) Mud Pie does have a nice pink color to him luckily. I think that's why Birdie had such a tough recovery having lost a large amount of blood from the initial attack, and then fleas draining out more. :( Birdie is a miracle boy and may just be Mud Pie's guardian angel. :)
Oh Lisa I just love this story! TWENTY? You're almost up with us now! Heck what's one more?:D ;)
*squeals* What a cutie patootie!
I also came back to check what happened and here are these adorable pictures:)
How quick he came back to being a kitten:) :) :) Thanks to you, Moses, the people who brought him and the vet. Looks as if he has a herd of guardian angels:D I won't comment on that foster issue. I couldn't foster.
If you scrape away some of the mud,
and put back in a little blood,
A short warm bath, a bit of soap!
A black and white kitty with alot of hope!
Sometimes a little 'polish' uncovers a pearl!
I think it's great his name isn't 'Earl'!!!
Into that Cat Lady's home, where cat's are aplenty!
I think Mud Pie has become number 20!!:)
OH, he is sooo cute. He stole my heart! Good for you...you helped save his life and now your a new mommy all over again!:p
GREAT poem RICHARD!!
Whew! How the numbers grow while I'm away! ;) :D
Mud Pie is absolutely adorable and I'm so glad the people brought him in right away, the vet was there, and you were there to bring him home and tend to him. Seems that day was Mud Pie's lucky day! :D
Now.....if I could only help bring you numbers down by taking one of those way too precious little blackies........Drat, why does Terry have to be such a hard head about having only two? :rolleyes: :( ;) :)
Sorry Lisa, I am with Deb when she posted this!
OK, OK, OK, I'll be the one to tell you. Let him go...........................
........to the litter box, or to the food and water bowls, or to every room in your house, AND to all of our hearts.
There's NO WAY that little Mud Pie can go anywhere else now! He's DEFINITELY a KEEPER!
Deb

OMD!!!!! How did I ever miss this from 3 days ago???
Lisa...I simply have no words to describe how I feel when I read this thread. My eyes are filled with tears, especially when I saw the Birdie and Mud Pie look-a-like pics!
Mud Pie, welcome to your loving home. I wonder if you really know how lucky you are to be part of such a special fur-crew?
Oh dear, I have kiss prints all over my monitor....excuse me while I go and rub them off.
