Distinguished VisitorsThe cats that have enjoyed my hospitality haven't all wished to be my own; after all, they see that it's pretty crowded. Cats aren't really known for enjoying large crowds. Besides, several of them do have homes. There's quite a mix, actually--- ferals, lost pets, and visitors "just passing through".

Bunnybutt
She's someone's cat, but visits so regularly that she deserves a place here. Bunny's on the fence here-- it's usual with her, since she dislikes the other cats and won't eat with them. (In fact, I often have to hold a dish of food for her, so she can eat while balancing on the fence!) |
the Fuzzyganger
This sweet boy is my late friend the Fuzzyganger, and a friend he truly was. A gentle, peaceful soul, he greeted me affectionately the first time he came into my yard. He never liked being indoors, but was diagnosed with cat-AIDS, and had to be separated from the other cats. He was all right for nearly a year, but just a week before Christmas, he became very ill. I held him as he was put to sleep, and he purred until the end. Rest in peace, pretty guy. You won't be forgotten. |
Rusty
Here he is, making himself at home. No feral, he was obviously a lost pet. Turns out his home was actually not far from my house, and he has a name-- it's Rusty! Right now, he's back with his own folks. Perhaps he'll visit me again sometime; if he does, I'll know whom to notify. (He's a real joy. I'm so glad he's safe!) |
