Odie (aka Other Darryl) Magnuson is in the house, literally. 😹 I just brought him in from the Colony Cabin a few hours ago. As you can see, he's pretty shut down, but it won't take him long to settle. In the meantime, enjoy a pic of him flashing his blue crossed eyes, and a pic of Odie with brother Darryl when I first got them in March 2024. I forgot he was so much lighter then!

That leaves 16 cats in the Colony Cabin. Once I realized that Greg had been here for almost 2 years (!) I made a list of all remaining cats sorted by arrival date:

Magnusons
2/24 Greg*
3/24 Odie* (12/23/25)
3/24 Joann*
4/24 Bob*
5/24 Karen*
7/25 Simon

Crowded house
5/24 Patti
6/24 Bill*
6/24 Maureen
7/24 Julie
9/24 Barbara*
11/24 Claude
12/24 Samuel*
1/25 Willem
1/25 Albert*
1/25 Eugene*
1/25 Gerald*

I plan to bring the friendly* ones inside in order of seniority. Except Odie jumped the line because he's such a sweet, low-key guy.

I'd like to have two inside at a time, one settled one and one fresh one. Then I'll bring in the next one when the settled one graduates. I hope that works - it's way past time for the friendly ones to find their real homes!

In the past, as the friendliest ones have left the Colony Cabin, some of the more reluctant cats have stepped up for attention. I surely hope that continues! Although there is always the possibility that I end up with a couple of permanent shed cats. Geez, that would be awful! 😹

Me: I can't take in any new cats!
Also me: You trapped a cat and he's feeder friendly? Of course I'll take him!
🤦🏻‍♀️
You may mistake this for Nicky*, but it's not, it's Walter! He's a big, sleek, handsome young man who was trapped on a local US Navy installation but couldn't be returned because rumor has it that they "dispatch" stray cats on the property.
😡
How could I say no? As you can see, Walter has been very chatty since day 1. He was wary at first, but quickly realized that laps are good and regular meals are better. He's young (est age is just over a year) and he was a whopping 11.5 lbs at surgery but he was skinny, so hims gonna be Big Boi! He decided to pop a URI after surgery so he was treated to a visit with my vet the day before Thanksgiving. He became quite cuddly while he was sick, but he's now fully recovered and giving that Big Young Cat Energy.
⚡⚡⚡
Today he graduates to (formerly PAWS BINK). I'm confident he'll settle in quickly and soon find his real home with lots of new things to play with.

*p.s. Nicky was adopted shortly after graduation! 🥳😻

25/10/2025

Crowded House news: Nicky (pic 1) graduated Sept 12 and was recently adopted, hooray! Phoebe (pic 2) graduated earlier this week and I am confident that she'll find her home soon. Dinah (pic 3) returned to PAWS a few weeks ago. Her adoptive family tried for months and months, but Dinah just couldn't get comfortable with them. Of course she found a new home within short order.
🥳🥳
Magnuson news: Darryl (not pictured) was officially adopted by his foster family! Poor Mr. King (pic 4) fell ill very suddenly a month ago. Texts showed he was FIV positive and severely anemic, and as a feral cat there weren't any good paths forward for him, so he joined his colony mate Rick over the rainbow bridge.
💔
I'm resetting the cat room so I can bring more Magnusons inside for housecat training. There are now way too many friendly cats in the colony cabin!
🤞🏻🤞🏻

So much news! Did I tell you Lily Littlefoot (Crowded House) got adopted? She found her person just two weeks after she arrived at PAWS. Didn't even get listed on the website! Marie from also was adopted recently. She was on hold for quite a while due to an issue with that right ear, but was able to finally put that behind her. And Princess Pam Magnuson found her home, as did our gal Sally Magnuson! They arebthe first two Magnusons from the Colony Cabin to find their real homes. I can't remember if I said out loud that Sally's x-rays revealed two BBs, likely the cause of her silly walk. 💔 Speaking of Magnusons, Chrissy finally had her bad eye removed and should be available for adoption soon. And Darryl is enjoying a stay with a family to see if they're a good fit. 🥰

I really needed this boost. Running Miz Liz's Cat P**p Farm is turning into quite the marathon, and I needed this reminder of what it's all about. Lickity Nicky and Phoebe Phoenix are nearing graduation, Mr. King and Simon Magnuson are slowly acclimating to the Colony Cabin, and most of the other residents of the Colony Cabin are gradually getting friendlier.

But possibly the best news is that there are only six more cats (adult males) left at the Crowded House, which means I may be able to see this through after all. Eventually.

21/07/2025

Today I got 2 more Crowded House cats! Phoenix (tortie) and Lickity (the other one) are stunned by this apparently random change of venue.
😹
Of course I had to assign government names: Phoebe and Nicky. Phoebe, a family pet, was spayed here in March 2024 and returned. She's back for rehoming, and after she passes her charm school test she'll go up for adoption. Nicky is the first of the dozen or so unneutered adult males still at the Crowded House. Hoping to get him neutered this week so his schooling can begin.
👩🏻‍🏫
And maybe the biggest news of all, lovely 🎉Lily Littlefoot🎉 (pic 3) was adopted today! I was so surprised - she just graduated this past week and hadn't even been posted to the adoption website yet! She's so very, very shy that I was a little worried she would never find her home. That's Christmas in July right there, folks!
🥲😻

18/07/2025

More Magnusons have joined the party! Surprised? I sure am! Virginia (the feeder) and I gave up on trapping the three remaining Magnusons last May (2024). They had finally been evicted from their crawlspace - the original goal - and had gotten way too trap-savvy. I was so surprised when she told me she was trying again, and even more surprised when she brought me Mr. King on Monday and Cinnamon Roll on Wednesday. Cinnamon Roll (pics 2-3) needed a government name to back up his street name, so he is now Simon. Mr. King (pics 4-5) chose to keep his street name, and the 👑 gets what the 👑 wants.
😹
Only one Magnuson left! I'm pretty sure Sonny (pics 6-7) is the female in Trap 9, the mama of the 5 feral kittens I took in when the colony was TNRd in July 2023. If so, she'll become Sunny Jane. She and Simon have been pretty tight the past year or so. I bet they will be happy to be reunited.
😻
And one last piece of wonderful news: Darryl (pic 8), the first Magnuson to graduate from the colony cabin, re-tested negative for FIV and is officially up for adoption at (formerly PAWS BINK)! He is loving life at their adoption center, soaking up all the attention he can. I bet he'll find his home soon.

26/06/2025

Finally, a Magnuson update! Darryl and Sally both graduated to PAWS BINK some weeks ago. I was surprised they agreed to take Sally, but her winning personality far outweighs her silly walk (pic 2). Unfortunately, Darryl tested positive for FIV, so he's on hold for further testing. Thankfully, Sally was negative! She's on hold, tho, pending X-rays on her knees so they have a clear understanding of what to tell potential adopters. She is moving so much better with the NSAID and supplements, and she's charming everyone at the Kingston center.
🥰
Pam, aka Princess Pam (pic 4) graduated just yesterday. I was a little concerned because she is a tortie and a diva, and her love bites are HARD! But she was a lovely girl for the vet staff and I think she'll do great. (She also tested negative!)
👑
That's three Magnusons up for adoption! Next up is Chrissy (pic 4), a sweet little girl who lost an eye before she got here. I've been monitoring it over the past year. Recently it started looking a little irritated so I took her in to get checked. Nothing scary is going on, and since she is such a sweet girl, PAWS BINK will take her as soon as they can get her into surgery to clean out and close up that socket. Fun fact: Chrissy's eartip is on the left, not the right, but she wears it proudly.
😻
Once Chrissy graduates, next up is Other Darryl, aka Odie. He became very interested in me once Darryl graduated to the house. It's not going to take him long to adapt to the good life.
🌟
That leaves only four more Magnusons, and I think they're all going to be adoptable! Lois and Tim are still missing, and of course we lost Rick. But everyone else is going to have a real home by the end of the year.

17/06/2025

🎉 Linda was adopted! 🎉 (pic 1). It happened probably only a week or two after the girls graduated, but I am remiss, as usual.
🫣
Marie, pic 2, is on standby for now. I noticed in her glamour shot that her right ear was tilted, and I realized that it also had been that way here, which meant that it wasn't just because she was annoyed with me. 😹 The rescue took a look and said she definitely needed an ear cleaning! They're watching her to see if she needs further treatment.
🤞🏻
Next post will contain multiple Magnuson updates!

28/05/2025

Marie (tabby) and Linda (gray) are recent arrivals who are ready to graduate already! put out a call a few weeks ago, looking for placement for cats rescued from a terrible situation they'd been working on for months now (pic 4). How could I say no?
😻
These sweeties are both about 5 months old, and could well be littermates despite the size difference. Linda is very active and outgoing, and is a vewy fiewce pwedator, having killed many toy mousies since her arrival. Marie is more cautious and reserved, but she is starting to play and approach me for pets. As is common with siblings, I get the sense that she might be more outgoing without Linda running interference.
🤼‍♀️
The gals will be heading to later this week and I'm betting it won't take long for them to find a job.
😹
Special note: According to my receipt, Marie was the very last kitty fixed courtesy of my grant from !
