Post your CAT pictures here! (2)

Milo, the big cat we have was had from a cattery.
This little guy, Rollo (who we call Squid) was saved from the gas chamber.
He, like Milo, are constant traveling companions and this shot found him on the bed
in the campervan-

I would like to thank the forum members that "liked" the post about a cat named Rocky moving away, or found something supportive to say.
My spouse Mary & I felt like Brooks Hatlen in the film The Shawshank Redemption, waiting for his bird Jake to return.
We kept going to our windows throughout the days and nights, looking for a sighting of an absent Rocky. It was just awful.

I wish to keep this post about photography but I also am compelled to report that at perhaps 8:00 PM Saturday night, a resident of the house that abuts mine was at my door, with Rocky in his arms. He came to basically surrender the cat and offer him for adoption (they had quarantined him inside, apparently). My spouse & I discussed this with the person offering the cat and adoption forms were printed and signed by all. Later, I covered my bases by providing our local police department with copies of everything, as that they have been involved with this cat and on many more occasions, with these abutters.

Rocky had a rough first night and was hissing at and scratching me, but one day later he was back to being the lovable cat that we knew, and is now going to live the rest of his life as a pampered member of a "forever family". Boy, can he eat and sleep!!

Awesome!!

Thanks again,

Mark A.

Thank you so much for the update! Loved the happy ending and the photos! Beautiful cat! And so smart of you to print out adoption papers & notify the police. You have covered your bases well and Rocky will have a wonderful life as an indoor cat! Congratulations!

Thank you Jeff.

The saga continues in a good way, having received a handwritten letter from the previous owner, expressing her gratitude that we will care for and love the cat she had to leave behind with some irresponsible others. I do not think that she knew her cat would be in peril, when she had to move to a house that did not accept a second one of her two cats. Her letter revealed, she was heart broken at having to make that decision.

I have compiled a USB drive for her with some 300+ images of Rocky, and boy, there was a period of time where I was fuming about how this cat was out in the cold, wet, snow and the street, and I documented it because I was so upset. Now, the contrast of his past life to his new life, is stark.

Rocky continues to do well in our home and he has a new veterinary appointment next month. I sense that he will run up some significant bills.

.........I'd rather him stretch his arm out of his new, carpet-lined cat house, than stretch it out into a busy street.

(I know a couple of these images are not in perfect focus, but they depict his previous vs. current life)

Wow, love that last one!

My LaPerm Frappi (short for Frappuccino, which was the name given to him by the breeder due to his brown color) wasn't acting "normal" (he was hiding in the closet when he is usually my "velcro cat"), so I took him to the vet. Turned out he had a ruptured anal sac, which had left an infected hole about the size of a dime. He had to stay overnight for surgery on Tuesday. Yesterday he got the drain removed, but he doesn't get the stitches out until January 2. He managed to pull out some of the stitches, so now he has to wear a cone 24/7, which he doesn't like.

This week marks 10 years since I brought these little clowns home in a tiny cardboard box from the Humane Society. Happy Anniversary Lenny and Carl! (As a side note, the horrible quality of this photo and the antics of two kittens are what got me to purchase my first "real" digital camera, a Canon 40D, which led to me taking up an interest many more photographic interests. I still however, love taking pictures of my boys!)

I think that I would have named him 'Cinnamon' ...... but nonetheless, he has a wonderful colored coat !
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your "velcro".

Speedy recovery wishes.
Oh, the cone of shame

Awww, feel better soon. My angel, Fizzy, had issues although never required surgery. Poor kitty!

Working two jobs, one an overnight graveyard shift, I rarely get more than 5-6 hours of sleep a day and usually no more than 3 hours at a time.

Meanwhile, this freeloader manages about 14-16 hours a day, must be nice!

Sorry to hear about working so hard. Hope you get a break and catch up on sleep.

I love the color version with its complementary colors.

Many Thanks windpig
