    I'll take some pictures later today or else tomorrow. I have to recharge the camera battery, and this afternoon I'm getting my teeth cleaned and then going to Saline, about 10 miles away, to take care of a doggie (an adorable little Bichon Frise, Sandie! named Crystal Jasmine).

    I sure will!

    Back out to Saline now to take care of little Crystal Jasmine (and it's raining, too ). Then I can take some pictures and upload them.

    You have an amazing collection Last year when I was doing some trimming of stuff I found a collection of cat prints (mostly Danbys) and I asked my cat sitter if she might like them for her Cattery. As she has been wanting to renovate the Cattery the prints inspired her somewhat and to this day she so appreciates the donation of these prints. I'm sure you can sell many of your pieces but if you have some that you don't mind donating - speak to people in your community who cat sit - they may be thrilled to have some of these items for their facilities.

    Wow! I thought that I had a lot of cat stuff. They all look great but I don't need any more either. Good luck with finding new homes for all of your cat things.

    Thanks, Bengalz. I've been donating them to shelters and other cat-helping outfits to use as fundraisers and atmosphere-pieces when I find takers.. Cat sitters, that's an idea.. I work as a pet-sitter, mostly cats, myself and belong to a network of local-area pet-sitters, though I don't think any of them board.

    Okay, here we go:


    Meet Crystal Jasmine Millio of Saline, Michigan (no, Sandie, she's NOT available! ).

    Here's one bookcase-set of figurines, demonstrated by Miss Poppy:


    Closer shots of these shelves:



    Another bookcase-full:


    More shelf-fulls:


    A couple of smaller groupings:



    And in conclusion:

    That tall black cat - is it spoken for? Not for me, but my neighbor. She has a black cat and loves all things like that. Put my name on it, if still available.

    Is this stuff that you got from the Antique Shop? Maybe you could donate it back to them, or sell by consignment?

    I couldn't deal with all that - too much dusting to keep up with. And don't the cats knock them off the shelves? Mine sure would

    Gretchen, you can have the tall black cat for your neighbor. I have others too, if you'd like to see.

    I've gotten some of them there.. I have so many it's hard to remember where I got them all .

    Isn't Crystal darling? Her mom and dad got back home last night.

    She was wearing a little t-shirt saying "Bone University" on the back. But Friday morning it was raining when we went out for our walk. Her thick woolly coat was quite rain-resistant, and I dried her off thoroughly when we got back home. But the t-shirt was soaked, so I took it off her and hung it up to dry in the bathroom. After that was when I took the pictures, so you didn't get to see her fashion statement.
