At the centre of my universe there be kitties ^^

the nameing of the cats is done for today

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:21:13 GMT

	Franko He had this weird cat disease that I can't remember the name of where they can't eat because they have ulcers in their mouths. He was wasting away and one vet recommended we have him put down. Crazy cat ladies force fed him for weeks and he eventually recovered. He's strong, healthy and ever so loving. He knows I'm busy a lot of the time so instead of trying to get in my face and be all demanding he just sits behind or beside me and rubs me with his head until I have the time to pet him.
	Chance He was a stray that was found about a year ago with the worst ringworm condition I've seen on a kitty. His ears are all tatty and he's got a funny nose but I love him to bits. He likes to be petted everywhere but in the small of his back, that might get you a swat. He's not too big on other kitties and if they try to eat at the same time as him he'll try to beat them up.
	Georgie This kitty has one of the cutest voices ever and he's constantly talking at you. He recently had some dental work done and had to be on cage rest for a week. Today was his first day out and he made a point of following me around and talking to me all day.
	Gertie Most mischievous cat ever. She's always up to something or into something. One day she ran into one of the shelters where she isn't supposed to go when I opened the gate. She ran around the trailer a bunch of times until I couldn't see her anymore. I looked and looked for her and finally gave up, only to find her sitting at the gate laughing at me. She doesn't lol but you can see she's laughing at you in her eyes. She likes to snuggle too but likes to play waaaaaay more.
	Jay Loves to play, if you are mopping or sweeping he'll chase the mop. If you get down on your hands and knees he'll jump on your back and play with your braids. If you explain to him beforehand that you are only doing it to continue playing with him he'll even let you clip his nails without a fuss.
	Jacob He was brought to the shelter after being hit by a car. His hip was shattered and there was supposedly little chance of him being able to walk properly again. After lots of medical attention and love he runs, he jumps and walks just fine now. He tries to compete with Travis for my lap at break time but gives in because he's no fool and knows that I'll stick around and let him have some lap time when Travis is done with me.

Kitty kitty kitty oh I love you so much

	TC He's older and wiser than he looks. Couldn't get a shot of his tail but it's only a half tail, I don't think this is a normal manx cat kinda thing but I'm not sure. He's smart and knows that if he yells at me with his cute voice I'll stop what ever I'm doing and give him lovings.
	SweetPea Drippy butt baby. Unfortunately for us she has a condition that a lot of manx cats get where they can't control their bladder or bowels. She doesn't seem to care in fact some times I think she takes pride in the fact that she is going to make a big mess of your floors before you are even done cleaning them. The first time I met her I didn't know about her condition and was cuddling her and letting her sit on my lap. That was the first day I got poo all over me at work. I'm sure it won't be the last.
	Roly He used to be shy and scared of me and wouldn't let me touch him. Now when he sees me he comes to me and demands to be petted and loved.
	Puff Puff was brought in with her sister Meowy (who refused to let me get a good picture of her). Her owner is an addict who was going into rehab (we get a lot of kitties that way it seems.) She had the most awful ulcerated mouth and was completely swollen up and looked Puffy. I think that's how she got her name. She can be a little cranky especially with other kitties but I still love her to bits.
	Mandy Litter box kitty is her nickname because every time you are scooping she likes to stand on the edge of the litter box and rub faces with you and give you luvins. I'm trying to teach her how to sit on my lap while I'm scooping and she's trying to teach me to not get litter on her back when she stands on the side of the box and I'm scooping.
	Isaac and Tony Isaac is probably one of our oldest kitties and to look at him he kinda looks like a kitty skeleton. He gets around better than some kitties half his age though and delights in the attention he gets from everyone going ooooh poor Isaac. Tony of course is wonderful, handsome and I can't stop thinking about him when I'm not at work.
	Tree Kitty I don't know who this kitty is and they weren't willing to tell me. They weren't willing to come down or talk to me at all. Oh well can't charm em all. Besides when there are birds in a tree who can compete?

Just two more

	Lumi I call her Lumi Loo and she seems to like it. Lumi was given up by her owners because she's a spaz and will flip out on you for no reason what so ever. You can be petting her and if you are sensitive you will feel her tense up and that means move your hands quick or she'll start biting and scratching. It's weird because she demands attention and loves it. She just gets freaked out easy.
	Peanut Big Nut Peanut is a wonderful boy that we are hoping to send to our main shelter to adopt out. He's got personality, he's pretty and he's almost as chubby as Girly Boy.

More kitties!!

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 00:33:36 GMT

	Buttons He's an old shy feral who just recently decided he's in love with me and likes to trap me in the bathroom when ever he gets the chance.
	Trouble I used to say Trouble was no Trouble at all but he got in a huge scrap today so I guess that's not the case.
	Travis Pretty faced lovely boy who sits on my lap but will only do so outside. This means if it's raining or snowing or w/e I end up sitting outside during my coffee break getting my Travis loving. I usually have signature muddy paw prints on my pants after getting me some Travis lub.
	Murray Murray Moo rocks my world, he's so handsome and sweet. He's good friends with Buttons so maybe he told Buttons that I was ok and that we could be friends. Now when I go to the bathroom I'm lucky if I only have Murray and Buttons in there trying to get on my lap.

I finally bought batteries xD

Yaye for keeping old stuff like cameras that don't work so great but work better than nothing.
All things considered the pics I took today turned out pretty good.
Prepare yourselves for a kitty spam. ;P

	Birdy & QueenMum Both of these kitties came in as feral cats; Birdy on the left still has a major disdain for humans but she'll watch you and follow you around, just don't try to touch her. Queen Mum is the snuggliest, cuddliest kitty and you'd never guess she was a wild cat.
	Isabelle One of our older ferals, she doesn't act it at all but all her friends are feral and they gravitate to her. She's almost blind that's why her pupils are so large and she has heart problems which make her shake. She's the sweetest most loving kitty.
	Jimmy He was adopted out from the shelter ages ago with another kitty named Finn. His owner brought him and Finn to the shelter to board them while she moved and she never came back to get them. :(( Finn was adopted out pdq because he's very pretty and personable. Apparently Jimmy isn't pretty (not in my opinion I think he's gorgeous.) but he is very personable and is always waiting at the door for me when I show up Monday mornings wanting to be picked up and hugged. Jimmy gives good hug.
	Mikki She rocks, she follows me around everywhere demanding attention and pets. She's one of the kitties that has the run of the shelter and is allowed to come and go through the doors other cats aren't. Why? I don't know but it's probably because she doesn't cause trouble.
	Schnookie When I first met Schnookie I didn't know he was feral and I tried to touch his tail. He jumped on top of the cages, flipped out and spilled a bunch of food on my head in revenge. Now he waits for me and begs me to rub his fuzzy belly. He's got curly furs on his tummy! ^^
	Tony My love, my handsome boy who doesn't like having his picture taken and refuses to look as handsome as he really is when I take a picture. Doesn't matter though because I'm hopelessly devoted to Tony.
	Tubby Trapped with his feral brothers and sisters he's the only one of five kitties that tamed down. He is sweet and cuddly and wonderful. Some times he will bite you if you don't pet him enough but it doesn't matter because he doesn't have any teeth and you just get gummed. Poor Tubby has a cancerous tumor that keeps growing back on his shoulder. He's had it removed twice since I started working at the shelter. It doesn't seem to bother him though, he jumps, runs and plays with the best of them.

Kitty pr0n!!

Sweet Pea

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:56:20 GMT

One of our incontinent manx kitties.
This kitty is so adorable and snuggly but unfortunately she's also a dribble butt so bring a towel if you want to snuggle her without getting too stinky.

Sunny days with the kitties

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:53:45 GMT

I can't wait until it's sunny again, Travis refuses to sit anywhere but right there on my lap and me being the big fool that I am will sit there with him in the rain and the snow.
I'm like the postal service but cuddling kitties instead of delivering letters. ;)

Itty bitty scaredy kitties

Can't not post cats....

Tony, whom I have posted pics of before.
I'm madly in love with him and the fact that he is acting kinda depressed only makes me love him more.
When ever we are in the same room together he watches me but only comes to sit and snuggle if you invite him, then he comes running over and plunks himself on you.
He kept hiding his face in my armpit today and really really didn't want me to leave, practically clung to me and when I tried to put him down he lifted his legs up so I couldn't.
If I could figure out a way to peacefully adopt him I would but I got a real bad feeling it would be jealousy and peeing everywhere.
The other night while I was in bed snuggling Toad, I was thinking about Tony and kinda felt bad about it.
I've heard about girlfriends imagining someone other than their mate in bed while they are having sex but never cat ladies fantasizing about other cats.
I hope this doesn't mean I cheated on Toad because he will forever and always be my number one.

Squirrel, who is a super snuggle bug and a very attractive fluffy butt. He's super nice to people but will push other cats out of a snuggle session, good spot or favored feast.
He's a bit of a pest but I still love him, all he really needs is a good home with one person to love him.
That's George snoozing on the cat tree in the background, he rocks.
That's all most of them really need but I am grateful that their is the cat sanctuary to home them, give them as much love as we can and to job me.

Bunnies

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:33:19 GMT

Yep them be bunnies.

By Request

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:18:55 GMT

Bunnies!!!

Bunnies are weird, I get the impression that these guys like me because they are right at the cage door when I open it to clean and tend to their needs. They don't hop out but they don't crowd me or purr like a kitty would so I have no clue if they really like me or not. I suspect they might have some recollection of the last time I did their cage and that my voice is the one that always digs through their bunny food looking for the tastiest dried bits of stuff bunnies like to hand feed them.
They are soft and nice but I still like kitties better.

Kitty Kitty Kitty Oh I Love You So Much!

	Cleo Cleo's heart is twice the size it is supposed to be. We found this out last summer and have been successfully medicating her since. She loves to snuggle and drool but gets freaked out easy and will retreat to hiding in the litter box if she's upset or not feeling well.
	I can't remember this lil guy's name but he's one of the kittens of Gig and Maya from last year.
	Kitten face = <3
	Grumpy ferals All glaring at me. :P Chloe, the whiter calico in the back follows me around while I clean. At a safe non touching distance but she likes to watch me and glare at me.
	Deanna and Supervisor Grey Deanna was this super freaked out scaredy kitty who wouldn't leave her cage for over a year. She's been out successfully for about half a year. It wasn't people she was scared of so much as other kitties. As soon as she sees me her butt goes in the air because she knows she'll get pets. Supervisor Grey is one of the first ferals that I noted watching me from a safe non petting zone. I've gotten a couple of pets in but some times I take the risk of getting hissed at or clawed. He's an old feral who I don't think will ever totally tame up but I'm coming to the conclusion that cats aren't really tame anyways.

The kitty flood is over, please carry on.

prolly tmi on the cat info/pic/spam

	Trouble He's no trouble at all, he's a sweetheart. He gets a shot every morning for his diabetes and is oh so good about being there on time to get it, navigating himself through two gates and a door he's technically not supposed to get through.
	Murray <333333333
	Gig aka lil squirt. Total brat, always into everything, wanting to play and snuggle all at the same time. I call him gig a lig because it amuses me. He came in with a Mama kitty last year and her kittens. Him and Mama were kittens themselves. Pretty wild at first but they've all tamed up nicely. He'll sit on my lap when I'm scooping sometimes and helps keep my left hand busy. That's a very important job at the shelter.
	Juggie and Finn Juggie has been at the shelter longer than me and I'm not really sure what his story is. I think he is a tamed feral and I know he is goofy and good. Finn is one of last years kittens that was adopted out with another kitty Jimmy who isn't in the picture. The person who adopted them was only going to board them with us temporarily but then couldn't take them back. I hate it when that happens but that's one of the things that's always in the adoption agreement is that you can always bring the kitty back. The alternatives aren't so good.

Proof I came out of my hole

Sat, 08 Dec 2007 03:11:02 GMT

If only for a little while, it was nice, I was warm, no one bugged me and things were pretty.
Would have taken more pictures but for some unknown reason I've gotten out of the habit and only thought of it while waiting for my last bus to come.

So there! =:P

Anyways, hot chocklit and warcrack here I come.

Sorry can't resist posting one more kitten video. If you've got facebook you might have already been spammed there. If you can't handle being spammed with kitteny goodness well you've got the wrong lady on your flist. :P
I love these lil guys, it's been awesome seeing them from the closed eyes and ears stage up to this playing and being a general pain the ass stage. XD

Boo!!

This is Boo, he is one of the feline aids kitties.
If you've been keeping update with my crapload of videos you will have seen him before playing with his buddies.
He is one of my favourite kitties.
He is cockeyed, squashy eared and only has half a tail but is so full of love he rocks my world.
He loves to play and snuggle and is up for either if you are willing to spare him the time.
When you pet him and give him back scritches his little half tail vibrates so hard it's hilarious.
I tried to get a video of it but it's almost impossible to get a video and give a good back scritch at the same time.
Perhaps I'll have to have someone help me do it one day because it really is hilarious.
Both him and my other buddy Ben love it when I sing to them and substitute the words for songs with Boo and Ben.
Kitties make me happy and Boo is so good at it.
