Hello, a new year for all of us. It has been years since I have come to this blog. I don't craft anymore. I don't do nails anymore. I don't buy glitter anymore. As a matter of fact, I want to sell all my glitter. I'm married to what was my boyfriend. Have been married coming into 6 years in May. I am happy. We have our ups and downs. I think last night my husband got frustrated with me and didn't say I love you for the first time in years. Could that be a problem? I don't know, I don't think he ever realized it. He just said goodnight, which he never does, he usually says I love you. Frustrated over something so small. I guess it happens to us all, at one point or another. I would if he would notice if I stopped saying I love you. I think I will give that a try. And see if he notices, if he doesn't then yeah there is a problem, I will have to figure it out.
Other than that, I still have my two furbaby girls. But I also feed a few feral furbabies that have come through over the years. Currently, I feed Lilo (a tortie girl), Momo (a ginger boy), Mittens, and Boots ( I call them the twins). They're not exact twins, but look very similar. Their names should have been reversed, but they are stuck and that's how it will stay. One is Mittens (unknown gender), and the other is Boots (unknown gender), it is hard to tell from far, and with their tail down. Mittens has no white on the face, and Boots has extra paws (a polydactyl), both are precious. Then there is Smokey, he is a boy because I see his sack. I really would like to get him fixed. And a mini panther that I may name Onyx or Midnight. I am not sure. I have seen him/her a handful of times. If he/she keeps coming around, I'll name him/her.
This pretty tortie girl is Lilo.
What a pretty girl
She finally started eating on the deck. I have a heated house for her too, which she goes into now. I am so glad too. I wish all my ferals would go into the housing I have for them.
This sweet ginger boy is Momo.
Momo looks like he is posing, how adorable.
A younger Momo, he was younger than this when he first came around, his ear is tipped here, he had been fixed already. This is August 2022.
This cutie is Boots
The handsome boy is Smokey
These are the twins: At the far top is Mittens, at the bottom is Boots
This is Boots
This is Mittens
White whiskers, but no white on her face, and she sticks one of her legs out, I think it is injured, poor baby.
What a cute face. No name yet
This is the new mini panther that has come around a few times.
Those are the current furbabies that come around. The mini panther is skittish and runs off when I go out to put food. It makes me feel bad, he is not sure about me yet. Then there is Mittens, this furbaby is getting used to me, Mittens will go under the deck and meow to let me know he/she is under there. I leave a plate of food and then Mittens eats however much he/she wants. Boots used to run off, he kind of stands at a distance but has gotten used to me putting a plate of food out for him/her. Smokey does the same thing. So far Lilo is the only one who lets me pet her and pick her up (just to move her around), Momo comes close enough to me to touch him, but I don't because he is trusting me to get that close that I won't touch him. When he is ready, I will be happy to pet him. I got him trapped and fixed already. Although he has a bad eye, and I really want to get that treated. I just don't have the money to do it, which breaks my heart.
There have been a few furbabies that have come through that stayed a bit then never came back. Recently there was a handsome boy I named Oreo, with brown and white, and had the most precious expression on his face. He had been fixed before coming around. He stuck around a little less than a year I think. I really loved him. He would let me hold him right away. Carry him and all. He just stopped coming around. I miss him terribly.
This precious little guy is Oreo, gosh I miss you buddy
One of the first photos I took of Oreo.
There is also Sammy, he is one of the few first ones that came around, him and Lilo. Sammy stopped coming around after I got him fixed. I had wished he would have stayed. I think about a week or two after being fixed, he just stopped coming around. I pray they are happy wherever they are, and are warm and being fed and loved. He was young when I first saw him, and he just kept coming around, and he became
This is after he had been fixed
This was before he was fixed, his ear needed treatment, but he didn't stay around long enough for me to try to do something for him, he was also a polydactyl.
This is Sammy, the same cat as above, you can see how tired he looks, he was young when he came around. I always pray he will return.
A little bully toward young Momo, but in the end finally accepts him. That made me happy. Would that be why he left? I don't know. But I miss him so much. He is a handsome long-haired ginger boy.
Then there is Inky another mini panther, he stopped coming around, although sometimes I think I see him. He/She could be an inside/outside cat and they keep him/her in during winter. We'll see if Inky comes around during the warmer months. I can't find a picture of him, it is on an external drive. I'll have to get and update this.
Then there is Pepper she was the first cat that I was able to pet right away. She showed up in June/July of 2022. She got feisty sometimes but she was very friendly and not fixed. I didn't know what to do for her when the winter months were coming around. I was able to find a rescue that was able to take her in because she was friendly, the same people who got Sammy and Lilo to be fixed. Although Lilo turned out to be fixed already and didn't have her ear tipped. Some may have dumped her, well I love her now. So Pepper was taken, my heart was very sad, but at the same time happy, and prayed she got a forever home. I tried to find out what was going on with her, but my texts went unanswered which broke my heart.
Lily my inside tortie is looking out at Pepper.
This is the last day I spent with her, that is the day they came to pick her up. And I hope is the beginning of a new life for her. (9/25/2023). I miss her a lot.
She is a beautiful furbaby, and I pray she is happy wherever she is. She slept on the deck furniture, I have other pictures of her sleeping on the furniture but I also have them on an external drive I will find later. This post was a student decision, so I am working with what I have on my computer and the external drive I have plugged in. She let both myself and my husband pet her. She would sit with him, next to him. It was so precious to see. I will always remember Pepper, I will always remember all my furbabies that have come and gone, and I am sure more will come and go as time goes on.
Three is also Sherbert, and Garfield, both are gingers, I am not sure of their gender.
This cutie is Garfield, an unknown gender
This is Sherbert, he is a cutie pie. He reminds me of a YouTuber's cat that passed away named Butters.
He was surprised I looked out at him/her.
How beautiful is this cat, I love how they curl their tail around their legs, so cute.
And of course, I cannot forget about Loki. When I first saw Loki, I thought it was Sammy, but once I looked at his/her face, I knew it wasn't Sammy. I was heartbroken but excited to see another cat, and if they wanted to eat they could.
Even though these furbabies are outside, and possibly homeless, they bring me such joy.
What a beautiful cat, hasn't come around but maybe once or twice during winter.
Hungry kitty
Beautiful long hair.
I made this collage a while ago, but you can see another photo of Sherbert, Garfield, and Inky here. I think I will close for now, I will return to add a few more pictures. This is where I am with the feral furbabies. I love them all.
