msattler It was about $430.00..... John Galt 007 made a very generous donation towards it, as well as giving up his free time and driving 25 miles or so each way to lend the use of his pickup truck... And I ponied up for the rest.....

When it gets cold or a little cooler than normal in the house our kitties climb on the bed and huddle together. Like Stealth Eagle posted..... A real thick mattress pad is the most important....and a heavy comforter on top...not just to keep the kitty claws away, but to keep the heat in as well during the day. Over the years, I have had maybe a half dozen kitty claw pinholes that I had to patch......not real hard to do, and not a big mess. And waterbeds have a safety liner under the mattress, so if there is a leak, you don't have water running all over the floor like in the movies.....LOL. And unless the house is very old, or has very poor bracing underneath the floor, you will not wake up in the basement....

Pet missing since '95 returned to owners November 12, 2008 SANTA ROSA – A Santa Rosa couple recently had an unexpected reunion with an old housemate: their pet cat who went missing 13 years ago. George, who was last seen by Melinda Merman and Frank Walburg in 1995, was turned in to an animal hospital after the manager of a mobile home park trapped the sickly feline. A microchip implanted in George allowed him to be traced back to his owners. Merman said that after George went missing, she visited animal shelters and wrote to veterinarians in search of the gray cat, who weighs less than half of what he did in 1995. But Merman and Walburg said the cat is eating well and displaying some of his old behavior, such as jumping at a flickering light on the wall. Associated Press me@rescam.org ID: 829694 · |

Living in the foreclosure capital of the US, not just people are displaced, but animals too. Our shelters here are full. If I wouldn't be over the limit already, I would run down there and find me a purebread Shepard or Australian Sheep Dog. Yes I have the room for him/her to get the required exercise.

Lol, I got two kitties and four doggies. They are independent spirits. I was raised with alot of animals, so maybe taking care of all of them comes easier to me. Joker, I know in my heart, that should you see a stray hungry kitty, you would give him/her a home. Baby may not be happy at first, but will enjoy the companionship eventually. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt ID: 829729 · |

I would hope if you want a shelter animal you wouldn't be too picky requiring it to be a purebred. Rejecting mutts makes baby Jesus cry. me@rescam.org ID: 829768 · |

If I wouldn't be over the limit already, I would run down there and find me a purebred Shepard or Australian Sheep Dog. Yes I have the room for him/her to get the required exercise. Yes, why go to a shelter if you want a purebred? Go to the kennels and the catteries and pay the price for them, including the pedigree. Only those who won't pay what the kennels and catteries charge for a purebred dog or cat with a pedigree go to an animal shelter trying to find a purebred there. Or people the breeders won't sell a puppy or a kitten to, because they find them unsuitable for having one of their puppies and/or kittens. That's what they, the breeders, do, because that's the right they have, to decide whom they want to sell their animals to. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me

Msattler, I have now got a lot of pics of those little kittens my bosses found and brought up, bottle feeding them. I'll have to find the best of all the pics and edit them, there are a LOT of pics to go through. My bosses kept one of the kittens by the way, the black one, the two others moved to some of their friends. Here are some samples, I'll post more pics when I have gone through them all and uploaded the best of them and had them cropped and resized: Sorte (Blackie)  Tabby  Tiger   My boss got this little orphan one from the vet, which was replaced to a home where they have a cat with kittens of that age, so it will grow up with them there: Furball  "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me

The reason I mentioned purebreads is because the article stressed, that there many at the shelters and the various rescue organisations can't take them in. All my current animals are mutts and rescues. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt ID: 830876 · |
