be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,

posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

"How many cats can you find in a ceiling?" |
Number of cats I had last Sunday? 3. (1 black 6 year old and 2 white 8 month old DSHs.) Number of cats I have as of 60 minutes ago? 5. (Add one sruffy looking black and white DLH of unknown age and one very very puffy and dirty black and white kitten.) The math: Last Sunday morning big softie (me) hears meowing. Takes a quick head count, all cats accounted for. Follows sound to laundry room ceiling, pushes up acoustic ceiling tile. Finds one scruffy looking black and white cat. Removes cat, places outside. How did this cat get in the ceiling? Most likely got into a wall from a little hole under the house and climbed up. My house is built on a bed of rock on the side of a hill. (Note: time to reinsulate.) Scruffy cat doesn't leave. Continues to hang around house. Big softie (me) feeds cat and pets cat who is very affectionate and well-tempered. On Tuesday, asks friend to borrow cat carrier. Asks husband to go pick up cat carrier, put cat inside and take nice cat to local no-kill shelter before there is a cold snap. Instead husband puts cat in car, takes cat to friend's house about 2 miles away to put cat in carrier. Opens door of vehicle. Exit cat. Looks for about 30 minutes. Unable to find cat, drives home and says to big softie (me), "Oh well. Someone will take cat in. If it comes back I will take it to the groomers and we'll keep it." Thursday, at 6:30 in the morning, big softie hears meowing. Follows sound outside. Guess who is waiting to be fed? Husband gives cat bath. New member of the clan Skye named Karma (because she came back ... cute huh?). Fast forward to today. Big softie hears meowing. Takes heard count. 1, 2, 3, 4. Follows meowing to laundry room, pushes up tile, finds one very puffy and dirty black and white kitten. Obviously belonging to new clan Skye member. Meet Zen. Very cute and puffy, weaned. Needs new home. 4 cats is my limit. Public service announcement: It is obvious that Karma was abandoned with Zen. Karma is far too affectionate to not have been a house cat and she is perfectly litter-trained. And Zen is weaned because he is in the kitchen crunching away in the food bowl right now. Both of them (especially Zen) are lucky to be alive. Please don't just dump your animals. And if you can't afford to spay or neuter your pets then you shouldn't have them. I'm really hoping there are no more kittens hiding in my ceiling. But I'm keeping my ears open. 
Baby, get your Yule on!

You *do* know that cas bring luck. Right? Welcome to my world. You know, you're not really a big softie unless you keep them all. We? Are big softies. This is essentially how we've become a household of 9 cats again. And, every now and again, when I'm holding - or watching - one of the cats that I originally thought would be the one I gave to a new home, I remember, and I realize that I don't know what I'd do without him/her. *smooches* from one softie family to another.  
A Tribal Christmas blogging's scary

Is your DH single?Oh wait. No. Probably not. My DH would have had none of it. None of it, I tell you. Yours? Is bathing them? And walking the streets looking for them? And grooming them?

Two words: Cat.Nip.Rub some between your fingers to get the scent really going. Do this at the opening where he will have to crawl out. The stuff can be sniffed from great distances. Trust me on this. If you sprinkle it, he will come.

Allergy shots have made me much less allergic to cats. Not enough I trust to get a cat or dog in the house (a not very often washed dog spent the night and set me off for a few days)A friend of mine with cats and allergys wipes hers down with a damp cloth every day and that helps. She started that after I saw a study where they tried to develop a drug that blocks the production of the protien in the saliva that sets us off. The control group that had 1 liter of water poured over them once a week had the same reduction of this protein, so washing the cat even with just water may be enough to keep them relatively allergen free (but you gotta keep up with it all the time. Some say if you start when they are kittens they are resigned to the weekly bath, my friend did the wipe down since her cats were already adults and starting a new routine like weekly baths tends to remove all the flesh from your arms in a big hurry. I would think frequent baths even just water baths or wiping down the dog if it had short hair would help a lot with them as well. However sometimes people are just too reactive for it to be worth it. We upped my allergy shot doses to try to get me over them rather than just the symptom controll that I have been getting.

The extraction was a success and the final refugee is safe and sound. Prepare to fall in love.Dhana (who was hiding in a cinder block behind our breaker panel)
 Karma and Dhana
 Zen
 The kittens will be with us until the new year so we can feed them, clean them and get them used to being handled. All's well that ends well.
Baby, get your Yule on!
