Normally cats and skunks co-exist without problems. It was the perfect storm, a very young skunk and a very stupid cat. Out here My friends and I smell skunks from time to time, but We never see them, although We see almost everything else on 4 legs, the other day I saw a big lizard, like maybe 6" long.

This is how my oven door gets opened during the night. The raccoon comes in and tries to climb up my stove to get onto the counter. I know he's/she's been here because the oven door is open when I get out of bed and go into the kitchen. ~Sue~ |

I have been trying for a while to capture what I thought was a field mouse that lives in the rockery/garden bed just outside the kitchen. I have seen it dash out, grab a seed and rush back just as quick The other day I saw movement, got out my camera and stood quite still Not perfect, but it allowed me to see that it is almost certainly not a mouse but a bank vole. Not that common in gardens. But you can see by the size of the bird seed on the ground that one seed will go a long way ;-) |

Some sad news here. Tessie crossed the Rainbow Bridge today. She joined us as a rescue on Motherday 2003. She will never be far, as she is in my Avatar. Now we are just waiting for the Cookietaster to give her a proper burial. She had a good life and I am sure Ziggy has met her on the otherside of the Rainbow bridge. Pluto will always be a Planet to me. |

Thank you to all. It is hard, when you loose four pets in two years, but our hearts are big. I am sure a kitty in need of a rescue will come along some day. Pluto will always be a Planet to me. |

Words escape me Uli. I know the special bond and the pain when it is broken. As long as someone remembers, Tessie hasn't gone. |

So sorry to hear of your dear Tessie's passing, Ulihon. I know how close to your heart kitties can be. When the time is right, perhaps another wayward kitty shall need your love and affection one day. Peace and hugs for you until then. Meow, Mark "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."
