Post 857: Fuji the kitten loses the battle for survival. RIP, kitten…

RIP, kitten..

RIP, kitten..

Fuji the kitten had a short existence, yet many of us following his and his litter mates’ story fell head over heels in love with this little guy. Now we are in tears.

Anyone who’s lost a pet can understand how devastating it can be. In a short time, we become emotionally invested in their lives. This sad news Tuesday reminds me just how fragile kittens can be. It reminds me of how sick Andy and Dougy were when I first got them and how even now I can’t hug them enough, I am so grateful they survived.

Sweet little Fuji. RIP little guy. We barely got to know you through Doug and Sharon’s postings but I will miss following your story. You had a good and happy life while here and now you join Panther in our memories.

Every garden needs a cat. The lucky gardens have a kitten, too.

Post 492: World Cat Day

Guess what today is….

Oh, you read the headline…? So much for the surprise! Yes, Happy World Cat Day to you and any cats in your life, little or huge, tabby or lion!

You will never be alone again!

You will never be alone again!

Mine are behaving today. Maybe they think World Cat Day means treats or new toys or something. Well, it doesn’t. What it means to me is appreciation for the wonderful creatures cats are, the joy they bring into my life.

Mind you, I love dogs, horses, and just about every animal but apes and monkeys (nasty animals…!), but cats are, well, clawed toothy fun! Mild masochism helps if you have a cat in your home. Or two!

If you collect enough cat hair, you can make a fine sweater!

To me, World Cat Day, too, is doing something positive about cats in shelters, a topic I covered some time back in a post last September about Doug and Sharon Brown in Vancouver. They foster whole cat families till they can be placed in permanent homes. They post delightful update videos of the kittens’ progress, and adopted two from one litter to join their cat Panther in their cat-friendly home.

Watch the latest litter Doug and Sharon fostered if you need a pick-me-up moment today! What the heck, here’s a sample video. I highly recommend them all.
