Eva.

I think you get a sense of her character from this picture.

Are you going to feed me? Entertain me? Then leave me alone.

This is Oskar, Ship's Cat on the "Bismarck", who survived that sinking to develop his career as a SC on board two Britsih Royal Navy ships - both of which were, in their turn, sunk. Not "Sam" however; he survived all three sinkings, and went on to a comfortable retirement, ultimately, in an old sailors' home in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

:( Sorry to hear that Zappy. One of those head-at-a-peculiar-angle-only-dare-move-the-eyes ones? Hope it eases off or better still disappears quickly! Um... the pain... not the neck.

I woke up with a sore face and frog eyes :/ don't think I slept on them but can't be sure. Been making friends with a bag of frozen peas since :)

Agreed. Apart from the Hunt Saboteurs I also belong to other organisations that try to take measures against this. But as you said before, lets try to talk about pleasanter things here in Angela's thread.

Indeed Chris.
Did you see these racoons washing clothes?

Here is my Kiwi. I think he looks a lot like your girl, Eva.

It sort of looks like the white color is leaking down his
chest from his nose.





Eva.

I think you get a sense of her character from this picture.

One of the kittens loves to snuggle with me at bedtime. I must confess that
it brings me great joy. It really does. I call this one "Sibby." You can see
Buddy's butt, too, at the bottom right of the photo. This is where he
normally sleeps until he realizes there's a cat touching him. Then he moves. Silly dog.



(Wow. Look at those age spots. I guess I need to get some cream or something.)

Kiwi does resemble Eva, from the neck down.

OMG - Kittens!!!!!!!!!!!! Want, want, want, want, want... but know we cannot have. Eric and I hope to live in Wisconsin part of the year when Eric is retirement age. This means we have to go down in the number of cats who have us, not up. Sniff.

I have some news on My mobile home, the park wants to give Me back full title to the place and I don't have to pay back the $6,500.00 that I was given in exchange for the title back in 2011, in addition the park's General Manager says that they will fix the gas heater and My rent will go down to $215.00 a month(space rent here) from the present $320.00 a month rent and I'd be an owner again, this means if I were to do this, I'd then have to find someone to buy the place in the park, that's if the park is still here in about 4 years, also no matter what they are going to fix the gas heater. The park is getting out of renting mobile homes I'm told. I wasn't sure about where to post this.
