This inspired me to tell this story: I got my heart-cat, Stormy, 15 1/2 years ago. She was born to a feral mother. The woman feeding the mother cat noticed the cat getting fatter and fatter, then one day suddenly skinny again. She thought, "Uh oh, bet she had kittens." So she followed the cat and sure enough, a passel of kittens had been born, unfortunately in a bucket and (you guessed it I'm sure) it had rained heavily. The only one to survive that storm was the grey tabby, Stormy. A couple of months later the woman had to move and couldn't take her kitten, so I got her. That's why she's named Stormy. Should've been named "Lucky" or " Miracle!" ~Bonnie

Just think, the two kittens that drowned 2 weeks ago in a flooded backyard in Brooklyn, NY...I have the third that was scooped out of the water at night, and got their mom and dad, too. The baby is only5 wks old. This was just the rain - never mind what's coming this weekend! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lorrie Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 1:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Hurricane On 08-26, Bonnie Hogue wrote: > Natalie > > Good luck with the hurricane!

These animals have no place to go and people do. I worry just as much about the pets left behind when their humans evacuate..... My first thoughts are always for the animals, but thankfully my cats are safe. We are in the eastern mountains right on the border of western Maryland at 3,000 elevation.
