Tawny purrs and snuggles like an 11 year old kitten. 🧡🐈🧡#cats #gingercat #catmomlife
On this day in 2021, I brought 6 week old Sweetums home to foster and the rest is...well, y'all know...😹
Riesi loves watching the birds outside, but this is the first time I heard her do this...😹 #catsoftiktok #catchat #tortiecats #birdwatching
Riesi is like a 9 lb. kitten. Everything is a curiosity and she only shows fear when the doorbell tolls. Although that may be a learned behavior from her Bruncle Al...😸😻
🐾🎄🕎 Happy Pawlidays! 🕎🎄🐾

Sorry for the recent radio silence. Rest assured, Seymour is still hanging in there, if only for his nightly treats. 😸 He’s just not very photogenic anymore, being half the weight he was in his prime, so I’d rather pull your heartstrings with a video of my latest ward instead.
His name is Al, he’s 2 years old and either a Siberian or Norwegian mix (could be purebred, for all we know). Sadly, his front leg had to be amputated after being hit by a car and while he was at the vet we learned he was also FIV+. They thought he’d recover faster in a foster home and mine was available. Here he is 2 weeks later, the Lord of the Rec Room…

It’s been a heartbreaking couple months watching Seymour’s health make a slow decline. He’s had good days and bad days, but today was different and I fear I’m at that horrible crossroads once again. It’s so unfair that he got such a raw deal genetically, but he’s been one of the greatest joys in my life and I only want to do right by him.
Please keep my little boy in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you all for letting me share his journey with you…❤️🩹
Seymour’s favorite time of day…😸#nomnoms
Treat time!
Sweetum’s doesn’t give up and Seymour doesn’t give in…yet…😼

Happy #caturdaynight! Forgot to share the good news about Mr. Snurglepuss’ latest vet checkup. Kidney values and creatinine levels are down and his BUN is in normal range so his current regimen is working! 👏😻
I don’t know what the giraffe did, but I’m sure he won’t do it again…😝
Kitty Romper Room
As some of you know, I’ve been “cheating” on Seymour and Tawny by volunteering at a local animal shelter in east TN. A couple days a week I clean kennels and socialize with the current denizens, in the hopes that a little human love will make them less scared of their situation and more appealing to potential adopters. #lovemynewjob #retirementgoals
It’s kitten season and two stray mama cats (both gorgeous solid black cats) were recently brought in with their litters, which need slightly different care. Kittens can’t be adopted until they are old enough to be spayed or neutered so they will be in foster care until that time.
Since Zoe was the youngest cat I ever adopted at 3 months, I’m getting a kick out of watching the one-week and one-month old kittens we currently have grow, even in the course of a week or two.
So in honor of #mothersday2021, here’s a clip of slightly frazzled mama Tulip and her adorably energetic quartet Azalea, Prim(rose), Daffy(dil) and Pan(sy) - they were named before we learned 3 of them were male.😸
