Whatever happened to that little black kitty on here?

[QueenScoopalot]

Hi Everybuddy! I'm stranded without a car so can't go trapping all those mamas & babies today. Skippy has one eye although it's hard to tell when he gives me his "I love you" look. He was also born with half of his front leg missing which he uses as his "clobber club" lol! He tries to smack any cat that he doesn't want invading his space, but it's not too effective! He's my happy-go-lucky Skippy Doo who has to do headrubbies with me everytime I get a chance to hold him. He's so silly. Here's a link to the only decent pictures I have of him, black being so hard to photograph. He's not by any means little either...he must weigh 15Lbs. but he's a big armful of love lol!

Hi Jan!! Glad I didn't have the facts about Skippy to messed up. I knew immediately who she was asking about.. How is Skippy doing these days.. Amy asks about Eli a lot ( ) and wants to know how he is doing.

Now that you are stranded at home, maybe you can give us some updates on your crew?

Hi Laura! Tell sweet Amy that Eli has become fat & lazy! He does not like getting into the litterpan any more, and prefers to pee etc. on the linoleum instead *sigh* My newest baby boy Avery who has micropthalmia is just the most delighful and talkative little guy. He's teething so when he's on my lap which he insists on every chance he gets, he bites, bites, BITES! I try to redirect his behaviour by substituting a toy instead, but he loses interest fast and wants back up on my lap to start that biting and bleating (he sounds like a baby goat lol) again. He's all over the place now, and gets around very well despite limited vision. He seems to see shadows much like our special guy Gabriel (Megs boy). I've trapped countless cats & kittens so far this year. One of the last trappings was a kitten that had fallen into a storm drain a few blocks from my house. "Stormie" (he earned that name lol) was pulled from the manhole quickly, after I lowered his panting agitated mama "Lucy" into the manhole in a cage. He had gone through a pipe between manholes, but when he heard his mama he tottered right out. It was thought that 2 kittens fell down, but it turned out the other was a block away crammed behind a shed with his 2 remaining littemates. Getting them out was another fiasco as well, but with help from the great neighbors who pulled apart a stockade fence, we got them all. Lucy went to her feeders/and furever home yesterday. The babies all had terrible conjunctivitis which cleared up very quickly after their eyes were cleaned & medicated. They are doing very well now. Many, many more tails to tell...but later.
P.S. Skippy is doing wonderful as ever...I just love him even when he covers my sweat soaked face with his lovely black fur lol!

Can't wait to hear the rest of your stories Jan... Just remember to be careful out there.... There are to many more out there waiting for you to come save them.

Hi and thanks for the info and update on skippy-doo. He IS the kitty I had been wondering about and that is the picture (above) that I remember seeing.

I am glad to hear he is doing ok , as there just seems to be something so very special about that little guy

Who could NOT love that adorable face? What a lovebug.

[QueenScoopalot]

He is a big adorable lump of love! But not little by any stretch of the imagination lol! He's busy hopping (or I should say skipping) along behind me wanting to do heatbutties while I scoop potties. I'm soaked with sweat & "Kippy fur now. He is VERY Special to me...a survivor of terrible pneumonia that took a long time to knock out of him, and he lost his other chocolate brown eye from infection, despite the vets & me doing everything possible. At least I have him all these years later.
