Joni, Lilly sounds like a kitty I used to have, named Iddy (RIP)
She had a bent back from a cow stepping on her, her front legs
were shorter, she was so sweet. Miss Biddy. I could get her to do
ANYthing for a dribble of cheese.

Thanks KJ...... nice to get updates of that gaggle of birdies... since I was honorary kitten Dad

Yup, rump, they were raised by us during CMA trial!
Some sad news, as well.
The only male of the 5 birdie litter, Count Blackula, who was
adopted and re-named Sly, has passed away.
His owner is assuming he met with some sort of poison outside.
He was suffering, and had to be put to sleep.
RIP Sly Kitty, 5/2011-5/2013

Poor poor baby, a BIG COW!!!! RIP little Iddy. Glad she found true love with you... lucky baby.

Ha, I do limit my words to them so they learn. Always the word EAT ... like "Do you want to EAT now?"
Surviving in their wild wild world, eh?

It's easier on my heart IF I put her in a bedroom, or bathroom before I open the front door. She is not as anxious to run out the back sliding double doors for some reason. Big plot of grass, and sun there. Funny ...

I can't STAND to hear that ... poisoned maybe.

Have read that letting little ones out is the equivalent of letting out a 3 year old child... same level of survival maybe.

This is a picture of Bertie, which i tried to crop so that you could see more of his wee face LOL - he's as cute as they come and no bigger than the average cat he's 2 years old now. If you can't do anything with it, I'll try another.

I've also sent you a couple more via email.

Here are the pics of Bertie that you emailed.

They were bigger still... the attach pic here makes images smaller... I cropped a second avatar for you.

IF you intend posting pics I recommend a Photobucket (or similar) account... They are free. (insert Scots joke)

Any pics you find online have a "location" url that you can use to post them on the page here... PhotoBucket gives you a url address for pics from your own computer if you upload them to PB

Oh Rumpole thanks muchly. I know about photobucket, but have never used it. I frequently use urls for posting, but not my own pictures of course, so I may decide to put some on photobucket.

Thanks.

I think we all love each other's baby's!

My new thing with Lilly is I close my eyes tight ... and hold them shut ... then open them.

Then - it's HER turn! OMG so cute!!
We are really communicating!

I never knew cats were SO great!
A wonderful surprise!!

Love that story haha!!

I tried that with my cat Tiger... nothing happened! Maybe he doesn't speak "cat"?

You know I've had lots of pets in my life, but never owned a cat, but I love to hear peoples' stories about them.

The cutest thing. Every morning when I wake up, I feel like my Guardian Angle is watching over me.
She sits 2' away from me ... staring at me. EVERY - - SINGLE - - MORNING.

Uh ... could it be she is just hungry?

Yes, but she still loves you and looks forward to you waking up!

Aw thanks sweet Mal.

ANGLE? J. --- try Angel!

Ha ha ha ha.

Yes she is a guardian angel but a hungry too I suspect.

My grandson was here one day and I had fallen asleep on the couch. My grandson was on the puter and he heard the dog growlng. Turned out that I was snoring and the dog was ready to attack my nose. Hahaa
