Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up and have been for a while! Another chaotic day, will go post them on Facebook now.
Sad news, but will update this later in the evening.
Today's Pets are up. Grey skies, but at least no snow.
Yesterday, the puppy and Dusky (over a year old, but still very puppy like in energy level) were playing with the kittens, and one was tragically killed. It was a freak accident, but still made us all very sad. Rest in peace "New Moop" - she very much resembled one of the first cats we had here, Moop, who went missing and was likely taken by one of the predators around here.
The four remaining kittens are being weaned, soon to go to their new homes, in another week.
Up at last, sorry folks. Busy day.
And Sandra, I have not forgotten your questions, or my promise of pictures!
OK. Thanks, Karen. I'm heart sick about the kittens.:( RIP precious ones.Quote:

Yes, plenty of kisses for the kittens!:love::love::love: Thanks, Karen!:)
I'm so very sorry about little New Moop, the kitten you lost, and about Moop, too. My deepest sympathy to the kitten's siblings and mother and Moop's family and friends too, and all who love them and miss them and grieve them so very much.Quote:

P.S., please keep your cats indoors, so they don't suffer the fate that Moop likely did.

Pat, we are a farm, and while we are keeping Mulligan in particular inside as much as possible, part of their role on the farm is rodent control. With a feed shed, and other stores of hay, straw, etc., rodents - mice and rats - can be a serious issue. The cats have a serious job to do.Quote:

There are many predators here, bobcat, coyotes and coywolves, etc., but most of them would rather kill our birds than bother to hunt rats, and are not of course welcome anyway on the property - the dogs and donkeys and peafowl make sure of that.
Today's Pets are up!
Rain has started falling down, but after sunset, it is supposed to turn to 2-4 inches of snow - yes, snow - overnight.
And phesina, a future plan is basically like "habitrail" structures, so the cats can travel to the barn feed shed, aviaries, etc., without being vulnerable to predators. We look forward to that being in place, trust me.
We take none of this lightly.
Thank you, Karen. That's good to know, and I hope the "habitrail" structures are in place soon. Kitties and I are sending you all our best wishes. That's great that the dogs and donkeys and peafowl are helping keep the predators away.
I'm glad that the kittens are inside. I hope they're in a room that puppies and other boisterous animals can't get into! Looking forward to seeing pictures.
Also glad that Mulligan has a limited role outside. He sounds adorable! Please tell me more about him. How many other cats do you have?
How many other animals, and what kinds, for that matter?!
We had a couple of inches of snow early last week. All gone now!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
For Angels Moop and Little Moop,
Rest in peace, precious little ones, at the Rainbow Bridge, whole and healthy again, playing with so many other beloved creatures, and awaiting that grand reunion to take place, One Fine Day..
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Thanks, Phesina. Heavy snow now, which started late afternoon. It doesn't feel much like April, never mind late April.
Pets are up, rain falling down.
Today's Pets Dog and Cat are up!
The first kitten went to his new home last night, we miss him already. He was the orange boy.
Will you be able to keep in touch with the people who adopted him? See how he's growing and all?
All the best to you in your new home, little kitty!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Oh, yes - all are going to people we know and love, and trust with these babies!
The Internet has been out until now, sorry folks.
That's fantastic (about the kitten, that is). Thanks, Karen!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Because it is so late in the day, I just changed the days on the homepage and will update the Pet, Dog, and Cat tomorrow. So many apologies, so sorry.
May day! Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up.
Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up at last!
The striped kitten got deliver to its new home today, with a kiss from you, Sandra, and is gonna be much loved. Its new Papa set its box on the living room floor, and said he would let kitten decide when to pop out and explore. When his boys (young men) decide on a name, I will update you.
I have always been a pet lover. I love all animals. But my story is rather strange. All my life I was a big admirer of cats, I am from 919 area code. When my daughter was young I brought home a small cat. But it never was good to my kid. So we gave it over to my mom. And my daughter started to ask to get a dog. I finally gave in, and a beautiful dachshund appeared in my family. That is the best animal ever.

Stripey Kitten now has a name, "Elly" - its gender is not yet known, its nickname here was Squirmy. But is it is a boy he will be Elliot, after TS Elliot, writer of cat poetry and other works, and if it is a girl, it will be Ella after Miss Ella FitzGerald.
Please forgive me for the lateness of postings, perhaps after tomorrow, I can get things better again.
Marigold has been calling for her missing kitten, which is of course to be expected, but also heart wrenching.

Tomorrow morning, between 9:10 and 9:18 am will be five years since I, and the world, lost Paul. Please say a prayer for me, and hug someone.
I know I am blessed, and have a wonderful new home, and life, but these days are still hard.
Prayers for you and for Paul, dear Karen.
{{{HUGS!}}} Love from Pat (and Sparkler and Galaxy) :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Today's Pet, Dog and Cat are up.
Will be thinking of you all day today, Karen, sending you a healing prayer and a warm hug.:love::love::love:Quote:

The fluffy kitten is in her new home, and already much adored. Her new Dad thought he lost her, just couldn;t find her anywhere ... then eventually realized she was curled up sleeping in her new big sister - a rough collie - 's tail. How cute is that?
We are preparing for an overnight snowstorm, believe it or not!
Thanks, Karen!
How nice that the fluffy kitten has gone to her new home! Welcome HOME, little baby, and may you and all your new family share great happiness and love!
And have you heard back on how Elly is doing in his/her new home? May Elly and all the new family be sharing great happiness and love, too!
