a wolf angel is not a good angel

Mr. Cat has been returned to me until his eye infection clears up. He was lying down, all sad, in the litter box. He purred when I picked him up. Crap.

One of the cats is in adoption, but adoption is full full full, piles of cages everywhere. A small, scared black cat? She’s going to get lost. Especially, I think, as she’s not with her brother, whose eye infection returned the second he got back to the shelter. They’re looking for another foster family for […]

These cats are ready for adoption, so if there are any Montrealers who are looking for cats, this is your chance.

The female cat is much better, and madly madly affectionate (and so adorable). Her eyes are a bit watery, and she sneezes now and then, but on the whole, she’s pretty much better.
The male cat, not so much. Over the weekend his eyes got terribly bad, and he is drooling, or maybe snotting, out of […]

Earlier this morning, I took the kittens out of my closet. This annoyed them sufficiently that one of them bit me. The bite got progressively worse during the day, so that by dinner time I could no longer use my hand because of the pain. So I left the house wearing sandals, because they were […]

In my bathroom are two terrified black polydactyl kittens, four months old, one male, one female. They were exploring happily until I walked in, at which point they hiss and hide behind my laundry hamper. Poor babies. Polydactyly! This will be adorable, until they learn to open doors or flush toilets or something else annoying.

The SPCA was eerily empty of animals today. I want to pretend that there was a huge number of adoptions last week. So I will pretend that indeed, suddenly people adopted all the cats and dogs. (I do not often look at the birds or small mammals.) I suspect another set of foster kittens is […]

Two of the four kittens have a home (or will, in the near future). I am sad to not be seeing them anymore. They are sweet and fun.
Tune in this January for round 2, where my “ack! must help animals” is balanced off with “must not actively try to be crazier than I already am”.
Right […]

I am sleeping very poorly.
Either I need to become noctural, or the cats need to be diurnal. My feet are not monkey bars.
In other news, my “can’t have them stuck in a cage!” feeling is dissipating very very quickly.

I’m not getting much interest in the kittens (who doesn’t want kittens?), so I’m hoping that this is the weekendness of it. I am so very, very loath to have them in a cage at the SPCA. They will be so sad, especially when they’re all but one adopted. They’ll be alone! Not with people […]
