There are days when I tell my cats if they don't behave they are all going to the China Wok... our local Chinese restaurant! Of course I am only kidding, but with 13 at home some days are pretty rough. I love them all, but I'm old and tired, and having so many rescued cats is very difficult at my age!

We actually roamed the woods around our house until after 1 a.m. with flashlights looking for Tigger when the door got left open once.

Re: [Felvtalk] Our Cats....
There has been a kitty hanging outside work again the last couple of days. Luckily very skittish as I won't be taking another one home. I did put some of Josie's kitten food and some water out just now. I actually have a bag of Purina Kitten Chow at home that they had Josie on, which if you ask me is just horrible food, but better than going hungry. I will bring that to work for outside kitty and buy more cat food for him if he sticks around and eats what I give him. Josie was wild again last night, but did snuggle in with me for cat naps. She even slept on Harry's arm for awhile he told me this morning. -Original Message- From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of dlg...@windstream.net Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 6:05 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Cc: ROBERT CHAPEL Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Our Cats SOUNDS LIKE HARLEY AND DEE WHEN THEY WERE 3 MONTHS.

Re: [Felvtalk] Our cats
Last night Josie decided she felt at home enough to be a wild thing. Tearing through our bedroom, up and down running across the bed when we were trying to sleep. Then today at work she was super sleepy snoozing on the back of my office chair (me sitting on the very edge). Every time I would pet or kiss on her she would let out a plaintive mew and snuggle back in as if to say "do you mind I am trying to sleep here!" Talk about your double standards! I asked Harry if she kept him up all night and he said no but he woke up because someone was staring at him and her little face was inches from his looking at him. It's funny because he uses a sleep apnea machine and she was probably wondering what the heck it was. He also said she seems to have a really good personality so I think he is going to end up loving her! She is so cute and sweet and funny I think he would have a screw loose if he didn't like her.

Has anyone else had a day when you swore you were going to kill oe of them? The last couple of weeks, Annie my 6lb, positive baby has developed an urge to attack and kill all coons that come on our deck. She normally will not go outside because things, sonds frighten her, but lately she tries to get out every time I open the door. She got out this am and refused to come when called. She was out for at least 1 hour. I called and called, came in and called, maybe she came in on her own, went to the garage and got on my hands and knees to make sure she was not under my van. Finally came in and said a prayer for her safety because I could not roam the woods looking for her (recently broke an arm).
