Thankful Thursday

Hi efurrybody, it's Sheldon here.

I'm furry thankful to say that I get to stay out with the other kitties all the time now.  Well, except at dark o'clock but that's because I won't stop running around and putting the bitey on the other kitties and the mom bean too (or is that g'ma bean?).  Anyway she says I have to stay in another room until I learn to settle down.

So you know what I did?  This morning when I woke her up at 5 a.m. with my crying, and she brought me in her room I curled up on her chest and then I.......

farted!  MOL  Now she says my name should be Stinky, not Sheldon.

Oh and another kitty has something to be thankful for today.  The other day, mom bean found a kitty in the back yard.*  Nope she didn't bring him inside.  He had goopy eyes, was furry skinny and had matted furs.  He was sitting in the bird bath getting a drink of water.  She was surprised when he let her come near and even pick him up.

She came back in the house and got the kitty carrier, intending to catch him and call the humane society.  She said it was pretty clear he'd been outside for quite a while.  Well, when she brought him out to the front yard, she left him in the carrier on the sidewalk while she ran in for the phone.  Some neighbourhood kids were riding by and they saw the carrier.  One little girl said, "hey that looks like Sammy".  

She told the mom bean he belonged to one of the neighbours, dropped her bike and ran down the street.  Within minutes the neighbours were at the house and Sammy's mom bean was crying.  She told our mom bean he'd been lost for so long they thought he was dead.  He'd been sick and they thought he'd wandered off to die.

But he didn't and now he's back at home again with his mom and dad bean.  That makes us all furry happy.  We sure hope they don't let him outside again, 'cuz he might just get lost again. 

*Normally I water early or late in the day.  For some reason that day I went out mid-afternoon.  It's hard to say, but I suspect I wouldn't have found Sammy otherwise as I hadn't seen him previously this summer.  Like the kitties, I sure hope his family keeps him safely inside for the rest of his natural life.

The cat came back! This is Will who came home after 19 months living outside on his own.  The v e t guy says he's a little thin, and probably lost the tip of his ear to frost bite, but he's otherwise healthy.


What a brave boy!  He disappeared in a snow storm and just showed up in his family's yard 19 months later waiting for them to come home and let him into the house.


We bet he was pretty happy to be home where it is warm and safe, with regular meals.


Welcome home Will!

Thankful Thursday

Today we is furry thankful for microchips.  Especially for one microchip that brought Angus home to his family in Etobicoke, Ontario after eight years!

You can read the entire story here.

In case you aren't able to open the link, Angus went missing in October 2005 and was recently returned home when he was identified by his microchip at the Brampton Animal Shelter.  His mom bean says she thinks he must have been living with another family as he is healthy, just a little skittish.

Hopefully Angus becomes an indoor kitty so he doesn't go missing for another eight years!

PeeEss:  Mom bean says she enjoys the fact their couch looks like hers.  Some kitty has shredded it!

PeeEsses:  Because we can't post a picture of Angus we'll post some of us...'cuz what would a post be without a picture of kitties?

Hi efurrybody, Sami here!

I has another story for you about a furry lucky kitty, and I is furry thankful he will be okay.  I thinks he is too!

The story in the news says "the car was brought into Winnipeg SuperLube to be serviced, but when a technician lifted the hood of the car, out popped a motor-oil-soaked cat."


Oh my goodness, can you imagine?  He must have been furry cold to get into the car and then to stay there while the car was moving is furry scary!

He got took to the Humane Society where he got a bath.  I think he looks more scared in this picture!

The story says once he gets a clean bill of health he will be available for adoption.  Oh, oh...do you suppose he has to go to the v e t.  If he does I hopes he rides inside the car this time.

Purrs to Garfield we hopes he finds his furever home furry soon!
Hope you all had a great Thankful Thursday!
