San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills have all banned declawing! Finally the US is catching up with the rest of the world on this.
Found a couple farmers looking for cats so I can find homes for some of these guys. :)

FFFFFFFFREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is such a beautiful word.
Got a bunch of free Evo dog food samples. Two bags of free Royal Canin cat food and when I got home today, someone had left a bag of dog treats on my porch lol
Found chicken for .80cents/lb so we bought 27lbs. Part of it is going to the animals.
Today was a total waste.
Pip and Squeak had a vet appointment, their owners never showed. NEVER AGAIN will I adopt to anyone under 20 or before the cats are already fixed. I figure since they already paid, they'd show but NOPE. So pissed. I donated the money to QCAWC instead.
Wallie's appointment was rescheduled for this upcoming thursday.
And I'm just super annoyed. My friend got another declawed (FULLY not just front) cat. He's not as friendly as she hoped. So her husband was talking about dumping it out in the country.
WTF Mike jumped in before I could and told them to bring it to us first.
So hopefully they won't do this to us when I catch Wallie. I'll be so pissed if I have to deal with two new additions at once, even if Wallie is going to be outside after he's fixed.

Peoria IL here we come?
A cat needs to be taken from Chicago IL to Peoria tomorrow morning. It has a home in Peoria but she can't drive that far to get him and if he's not picked up he'll be PTS. I sent an email to the coordinator stating if they can get the cat from chicago to here, I'll make the run to peoria.
We'll see.
Decided not to trap last night, too many people around and he didn't come out to eat so I just left the food where I usually do and left. Gave me more time to finish up cleaning.

I missed two days!
Dang, lol I fail already. Some friends and I are trying to post a blog for the whole month. Failure!
Good news on Wallie! Mom said she'd pick him up after his vet appointment and hold on to him over night. Talked to Mike some more and he agreed to let me trap him and hold on to him until his vet appointment.
Tonight, I'm going to make an attempt after work. So HOPEFULLY I will have pictures and a good description of the lil guys attitude. I bet he's a sweet boy, I'm just counting on it lol
Holly and I went to petco and got a new beta. Not sure what to call him. He's the same color as Fishy-bob, but he's a crowntail. not sure what Fishy-bob was. It's very pretty though and he's doing good.
I'm reporting a volunteer at petco to the rescue she was wtih. She was handling a BC mix and kept smacking him for acting up. That makes dogs hand shy and doesn't help them get adopt. What an idiot, I don't even understand why she'd volunteer if she was just going to ruin a dog.

Wallie and more kittens
My neighbor wants me to find homes for his kittens.
He said free to good home. So I said if they're free, I want a contract signed. If I'm advertising for them, I'm putting an option to get them spayed/neutered with a $30 non refundable deposit as well. Anything left over, is going to get the mom cat fixed.
Mike's getting pictures, genders, and age for me tonight.
We're having a disagreement. I want to get Wallie neutered and keep him over night. Mike is saying no. Derek can't keep Wallie over night. So I'm not sure what's going to happen now. You'd think having a cat for 24hrs wouldn't kill him. I'm going to discuss it more with him over the next couple days.
My betta fish, Fishy-Bob died last night. I changed his water, so I think I must have did something wrong btu I can't think of what it was. Rest in Peace Fishy-Bob

Wallie and a Raw diet
Wallie The Stray at Wal-Mart
Well we were having a lot of communication problems but I think we have everything figured out for the stray cat.
Fall is here now, so we're going to be trapping him any day now. I just need to get the funds up to get him neutered. I'm so hoping he's a male, it's a lot cheaper to get a male cat's vet work done here. I'm considering contacting SNAPS in IA, but if he's not feral they can't help me again. I still think he's a stray but he still won't come up to eat until I turn my back.
I have decided if he is a male that he will be called Wallie since he was found at Wal-Mart.
I ordered a free bag of Royal Canin cat food, you can too at Catster.com
It's crap food but it's free and that's the only way I'll fed anyone Royal Canin.
Speaking of food, I'm curious what my 4 readers feed their cats?
We're all on a BARF or raw diet. Princess only likes the pork and will try stealing our meal if we give her anything else. BeBe has been eating her share so I have to keep them separated and he needs to loose some weight now. Their fur is so soft and the white on BeBe and Damn-it is BRIGHT. It's gorgeous, I'm so happy we made the switch. Plus, it's really cheap if you do it right. We were super broke this week so I feed chicken for the most part since it's so cheap. I bought 10lbs for $5 and a couple odds and ends here and there, that fed my 3 cats and Holly for 2wks. I don't usually feed so much chicken though. I know it's tempting since it's a cheap protein source.
One thing I would watch out for,some animals are allergic to chicken and a couple other protein sources, chicken seems to be more common.
Our cats and dogs do NOT need grains, veggies, or fruits to survive. They thrive on a Barf or raw diet. Dogs can survive on those things, but they don't thrive on it. Cats cannot survive on them. They need TAURINE which is only found in meat. Heart and liver are good sources of taurine as well.
If feeding a Barf or raw diet seems like too much for you, I highly recommend Natural Balance. My cats were eating the Ultra formula and did really well on it. Holly was eating the Reduced calorie formula and did well. I didn't see much of a change in their coats though.

3 feral kittens and a shy stray
The 3 ferals have been adopted. My friend took one of them the night we caught them.
So the above picture is Pip (blue/white bicolor) and Squeak (solid blue) They were about 7wks old when we caught them.
Stray kitty, we don't have any pics of yet. My friend that works at walmart (ewwwww!) told me about this one. He wants to trap it and get it some where safe before fall hits. Not sure if he wants to keep Mr. shy kitty or not. I've been trying to call him so I can find out. He's a solid black cat. He looks like he'd be sweet as honey once he's calmed down. I don't think he's feral, acts like he's just scared.
