Break down of Chole's law.

Basically, you have to keep paper work on your animals and be able to produced them when asked.

Plus you can't separate a kitten or puppy from it's mom until it's 8 weeks old. Which is already illegal in IL.


Purgatory tested positive for FeLV yesterday and had some other health problems, he passed away at 2:20pm

Rest in Peace friend

Update on the Fosters

So the person interested in Princess never got back to me. No one seems interested in Ted at all and he's such a cute cat! He's making great progress as well. He's tolerating the dogs and other cats more and more. He could probably go to a home with other animals. Still should go to a home with older children though.

Princess is being more social. She's playing with all of the other cats and willingly coming up to humans. Before you had to hunt her down and force your presents on her lol

She hunted down a mouse the other day. I was shocked, she had some troubles getting it because she doesn't have any front claws but she knocked it around enough that she was able to catch it in her mouth before BeBe took it away. He's such a pain.

The mouse was a feeder mouse by the way, no rodents take residence at my house! They'd be crazy to do so.

I'm hoping to get a video of them both up soon. More pictures are needed as well.

I forgot! We weighed everyone


Ted 10 lbs
Princess 11 lbs
BeBe 11 lbs
Purgatory 9 1/2 lbs
Damn-It 13 lbs

I switched their food from Natural Balance to Wellness, so we'll see if the weights go up or not. I might have to change Princess's diet. The males all look fine but she's turning into a beach ball haha

Coupons, Princess

Might have a home for Princess.

Got some of the coupons in, one for $5 off, the other for $3 off.

I'm probably jumping the gun but I'm going to go get a packet together to send with Princess, along with some of the cat food she's been eating so she doesn't get sick.

I want to give her hairball medicine too. Hopefully this lady can wait a while. I don't want to give her too much medicine all at once so she vomits or something.

Had to give all the cats tapeworm medicine. Purgatory and BeBe def. have them. So fucking gross. It was only $20 for 6pills and I have 2 left over. Damn-it needs to finish his, he only took part of it. I'm going to try again later with that though...

Cat food

I contacted a bunch of cat food companies and most are sending me coupons, some are sending free samples. I contacted Petco and they told me to talk to the store manager to see if they'd be able to give me any discounts or free food for the strays/ferals. So that's pretty damn awesome!

We gave Ted tapeworm medicine. He started to show signs of having them, which explains why he's so small, so hopefully that's taken care of. I hate giving it to them, it's really hard to get them to take the whole dosage. He's 9 1/2lbs!! wow!

Princess might be going back up for adoption soon, more on that next week I hope. She's been doing really well.

Purgatory and Damn-it are fighting a lot though. I stopped spraying feliway around though, so I started doing that again.

I have a video of Purgatory and Damn-it showing how smart they are. I should work with them more but it's so cold I don't want to get out from under my blanket and all the kitties around me are keeping me nice and toasty warm! lol

Goddess

Declawed and Outside

I am so angry!!

I was at my mom's house, while Mike and his dad were trying to get the full tank of gas out of the beretta nad into the new car.

So I'm playing with Ted, that stray cat she found eating out of her garbage a couple weeks ago...And I notice he isn't using his claws to grab the toy, he's trying to scoop it. Which is how Princess plays.

So I said "Mom, I don't think Ted has any claws"

She didn't believe me. So I grabbed his scruff (he'll bite hard when he gets upset) and had her press down on his front paws.

Sure enough, some fucking asshat dumped this poor cat in the field with NO CLAWS. NO DEFENSE and hoped he survived. Maybe, they probably didn't give a rats ass if he did or not. It's a miracle the coyotes didn't eat him.

I couldn't believe it. I just want to hurt the people that did that to him. I'm strongly against declawing in the first place but to dump a cat outside like that? BULLSHIT.

I'm still angry but I can't think of anything to say to get this off my chest.

Mom was trying to trade me cats. Which just sucks. We shouldn't have to sit there and discuss which cats would do better n which situation to make sure they all have homes.

Having a really hard time getting Princess to a vet. It's like forcess outside of our control are conspiring against us.

Anyway, we were watching Changling last night (Great movie btw) and kept hearing a cat crying. After making sure it wasn't one of our four, we looked outside.

Didn't see it, still heard it. So I set some food and water out.

I'll try trapping it later. Still trying to get the one male at my mom's house, but her cats and dogs keep going in the trap and eating the food! Grrr...
