Update!
I have been adopted. Homeless is now a Homie. How can I tell? I think the biggest clue is, he shares my pillow every night.

It makes my heart sing. As I still think he is the ninth life of Ziggy.
Pluto will always be a planet to me.

Vic, dunno what kinda vet you got there, but microchipping a cat should cost around
$40.00 to $60.00, not $150.00. That is simply way outta line.


Yes. $150 is outrageous. I can have it done for $20. If a vet is charging too much, then you
might look into a local shelter. They might offer to do it for less.

I my area we have a few times each year where one vet or another will have a special day -
a vaccination day - where they will vaccinate pets at a discount. Sometimes this includes
microchipping.

$150 is certainly a rip-off. Since April all dogs in the UK have to be microchipped, fine of £500 if you don't. The normal cost with a vet is £15 but there are organisations and charities that do it cheaper, even free.

The lowest I've found is $25(Thousand Palms, CA), while the highest on this one gov webpage is $75(Chino Hills, CA), both are too far away, $30 just over in Barstow, and Barstow is the closest to Me.

I'll get to this asap, just not this second.

I am getting increasingly disturbed with the abuse of cats I have recently seen on youtube and other news sources.
For, with the abuse of such wonderful animals, so goes the humanity of our race.

If I did not have two to care for myself, and how knows how many to save in the future, If not, I might have to consider removing myself from the human population just from the disgust of their behavior.

No, I do not think you quite understand of my hate of those who would abuse a kind simple animal like a cat.
If I were ever in Africa, or someplace where the BIG cats roam, I would probably try to approach even them.
And perhaps perish in the process. But, if I had to choose a way to leave.........well. that might work.

The Maine Coon cat is my favorite./
I shall own or have one own me one day.

Lori has had several, one of which died tragically due to a genetic heart condition not too long ago.
These cats are large, and have the most gentle disposition of any cats I have ever known.
They can be huge, up to twenty five or more pounds, so be ready for a lotta love if they pounce on you.

They can be intimidating if you are not aware of them.....
Lori lost one of hers due to genetic heart problems, and this is not something most Maine Coon breeders are unaware of
They will terminate a breed if the problem becomes endemic.

We both miss her very much. and her brother does as well.
Leo, her brother, loved him very much, and misses her brother Ty Ty, in a very profound way.
I think he is somewhat fearful, because he does not quite understand why his brother went away.
I think he is afraid something similar is going to happen to him./.

I try to console him as much as I am able to.
He just does not understand why his brother is no longer there.
I wish I could explain to him that his brother had a heart attack, and there was nothing we could do for him,


Those of us who adore cats will know our pain.

What else can I tell you?

I am a man of constant sorrow.
I know little about redemption or forgiveness.
I know only the pain I live with every day.
And it shows no signs of abating.
I know cats are in need of rescue ever single day by the thousands.

That is my cross, and I shall bear it for all of my life.
Which ls growing shorter with each passing day.
I simply may not to be continue for much longer.

Amen,
And Meow for now.

Snow Leopards.

Yes, they are.
Thank you for that clip.
Just to know they are struggling, but still surviving, gives me some hope for this world.
Such beautiful cats. So strong and ruggedly built.
Makes me love my tiny specimens of the feline persuasion even more.
Mini-leopards, as it were.
Except these ones I can cuddle with.

Meow.
