It was free and a bit unwanted at one time. :D

Many kitties were free and unwanted at one time..........
Now they just need a little love and care........
Just like your smiling Jacky there......

Jacky may have been Free, But Angel was $20(To get fixed), Although She really qualifies as Priceless. :)


Trip to Fleet Farm........2.00
Checkout at Fleet Farm....400.00
Look on the faces at Fleet Farm.....100.00
Look on the faces at the shelter.....1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00
Look on the kitties at the shelter....priceless.

And Angel qualifies as priceless too.

Ok fellow kitty people.....

Here's the lowdown on the kitty run.......
Went to Fleet Farm on Friday and negotiated some discount on the supplies with one of the managers......They knocked $1.50 per bag off of the Cat Chow and 9 cents a can off of the kitty food.......so with John's generous help, here's what we delivered yesterday to my friends at the Fox Valley Humane Association....

360 pounds of Purina's finest Cat Chow Complete Formula for the hungry kitty tummys....
120 cans of Science Diet Kitten Food for the little ones.....
24 gallons of bleach for cleaning and disinfecting....
8 jugs of Brisk no dye/no perfume laundry detergent....enough to do at least 600 loads of kitty blankets!!!

The folks at the shelter were truly appreciative.....the whole adventure made my day for sure!!

And here are a few pics............


First.....some recognition and a 'thank you' to Fleet Farm for their support by offering me a discount for the donation....(and I found out from Nancy at the shelter that they make donations directly to them too..)


Checking out of the loading dock....."How many cats do you HAVE???"


The kitty stash.........


John, The Kittyman, and Lori....


'Hey....let me outta here!!'


Big green eyes...


Just chillin'...


'You gonna just stand there lookin' at me, or ya gonna take me home?'


'Wanna be my Buddy?'


Lori test drives a couple of kitties...



'Whazzup?'


And always the kittens......





So maybe that will help you understand why my heart goes out to all these little lost souls and pray that every day a few more will find their way home.

The kittyman does what he can....
Best wishes to all of my fellow kitty friends and supporters.......

Mark

Just a bump......so you dont't forget the kitties..........

Souls we've touched...........

There are many souls I've toched the world wide,,,,,,
A sense of joy, and a sencse of pride........

A kiss of love that is equally shared.......
No apololgies needed, only friendship shared.

You know who you are......I need not list you here,
Your souls ate so near and dear to me here.
I must go to sleep now.......
Believe me I must.

But your love will be with me,
in this you must trust.

Excuses remain for the rest of the boyz
who talk all the while that they play with their gurl toyx.
I'm not one of them gurlz, ain't is quite plain to see?
I only want one.........one of you, one of me.

Which one? Just don;t ask me......I cannot decide....
Which one'd be the best to reside by my side.

God knows what tha answer is, but he it not telling,
So as usual, but mind's left with questinos befelling
which way for to go? And my mind's left astray
for it doesn't know where to go.....which a way.
00
You both know I love you, but you're unwilling to share
the love that I have, even though you both care.
And I've one that I love here.....
And she for sure will not bear
A love that's a tryst.......for she wants only me.
And a love that is shared she could never forsee.

So what do I do when my heart is so torn?
My love and affection already a bit worn and torn........
Do I pledge my heart willing and unable to change?
Or give love to none, so my life's not rearranged?

This might seem like a tribble or a trial to some...
But believe me, my mind spins, and it causes me some
sleepless hours on the bed with the kitties....
So I sit here and dream up these softly rhymed ditties.

Who do you love????
So the question's been asked.
Is it hers or is it mine that's been taken to task?
It shall never be answered.......'cuz I know that it's true
that she live far too long away to be near me or you.

Thank you for listening while my heart's told it's tale......
And you still don't know half of what me heart has to tell......

Some day, in the morrow, our hearts, the may meet.
And together as one, they may just start to beat.

(Stealing a line from a love poem that I wrote when I was 17yo......)

Until you return and my heart finds it's home......
I await your return, for where ever you roam....
I'll sit here and wait here for you to return.

Always I'll wait here..........alive but alone.



She never did come back.......................................................

Another few couplets of rhymes that I wrote.......to someone who's name shall not be written nor spoke........
She knows who she is, and my heart's stance will stand..
For although I have failed.....I still stand as a man.........

S' OK.......I think I am done with my tears.........

Shed softly but quickly, and stored up for years......
they came like the wind.....and left like our fears....
for the tears of today have been stored in the past.

They will come and they go, for they have no real purpose
but to remind us of the past and what used to hurt us.
So it's best that they go, and leave us behind,
and take with them troubles that weighed hard on our mind.

I have never been able to train them to walk on you when you WANT them too........

Me neither.

But back, when I was home from the hospital after a major surgery, my old cats sensed that they shouldn't jump up to me in bed landing on my stomach with the 12 inch long wound on it. They sensed that they had to be careful about not to land on me too hard so they were very gentle when they jumped up to me. After they finally stopped ignoring me because I hadn't been home with them for 6 days!

I noticed it and fixed it. For some reason I have had a lot of problems with links etc pp. Can't just be me being stupid.... Anyhoo, fixing it as I see it or my friends alert me to it.

Another kitty poem has got a grip on me.........LOL.

Sometimes in the dead of night
I sit here and ponder.....what is wrong and what's right.
I get a bit maudlin again and again,
Yet you folks always seem to forgive me, my friends.

My little kitty jokes, and my songs, and my feelings for them
are what makes me happy, so I'm glad when I can
share with a few others who understand my true thoughts.
And I think when I do share, most of you see what I've brought

To the table to share with those of you who try to understand me..
And I know it's not easy, for a handful I can be.

Just know, you who care.....that it's not lost on me.
I treasure your help and your caring and see
those of you who are true friends and those who are not.
And I thank you for being the few friends I've got.

The kitties are special and I think so am I.
Sometimes I rant and I rave, but still I do try
To convey what I'm feeling to you all far and wide
and do so with conviction, and do so with pride.

I've begged you to help my kitty friends at my shelter,
and have thankfully accepted what help you could offer.
It was not quite enough to ensure the kitty's needs.
So John and I made a big donation indeed.

So.......

Thank you for being my friends all along...
I'll keep supporting the kitties and singing my song.
And some will stay with me, and some they will not......
But I'll continue to treasure the few friends I've got.

Y'all keep on crunching, friends..........

May your lives be long,
your troubles be few,
and our friendships be forever........

Luv you all.......

The kittyman.
