Kitties in the park!

Someone asked about the kitties........You would not believe the numbers!  We have had two big fires in the neighborhood and the kitties have relocated to our area.  We still have those who come from blocks around to eat and drink fresh water and lay in the cool grass!

I don't count anymore I just put lots of dry food and fresh water.   The babies get a cold milk coctail hour about 4 in the afternoon! Of course the mothers always join in also.

This is the year of the calicos.   We have several now and have lost several this year.  Some of the kitties have been sick. The vet says it is an upper respiritory infection and they get matted eyes and runny noses and some survive and some do not.  I am always bringing in a little one to wash out their eyes with warm water.... used peroxide for a while but it must have really hurt some so just use warm water.  They hate that bad enough!

This past week all the babies and their mothers disappeared for several days.   The mothers would come in and eat and lay in the shade and appear to look for their babies.   I was sure someone came and picked them up or a preditor have gotten them like the big hawks they sit on the highline wires by our house.

Well Thursday mothers and babies all returned hungry and seemingly all present.  Geesh! I thought I have been rescued from the cats!  Guess they couldn't find shelter, food, and water where they went. 

Jack went out on a yard cruise tonight and he had great fun with the cats.   They are a bit in awe of the motorised chair!   We had two males neutered this spring.   The vet did lasier work and they did wonderful...and these two come in to be fed.  One is a bit shy the other stays in for hours on the cool tile floor or taking over my chair.

We have all sizes, colors, tigers, calicos, beautiful markings, long and short hair, and all have great personalities....JUST NEED HOMES!
