We thought earlier this year that we might have to close our doors forever, but the strays of this world decided that wasn't an option and so we are going to carry on while we can give the much needed care and attention to the cats in our care.
It has been a busy few weeks and we have had lots of new arrivals and today has been photograph day.....we thought you might like to see who is experiencing the paws inn isolation hotel at the moment!!
We have Maisie the gorgeous and loveable tortie (she doesnt take after her feisty markings at all and I am in love!) - we think she is two to three years old but so far only Teresa has looked at her teeth and she is yet to go to Spec Savers :rofl: :rofl:
We have Dell Boy the gentle giant aged about 10 years and anybodies for a piece or two of chicken. :rofl:
We also have Pepsi and Chico who some of you may know about - Teresa has worked wonders and Chico is now fully weaned and stealing chunks of chicken from his mum - see the photo if you don't believe me. Mum is heavily pregnant and we should have split Chico away but had to make room for two new arrivals.....so Chico we think will be going into the kitchen with Minimopsical tomorow!
We have Tula and Sunshine (to be renamed) who were very frightened when they arrived, but are now enjoying chicken and cuddles! Tula is a boy and Sunshine is a girl and we think she is Buster come back to us! They are approx 5 months old and neutering is a priority!
Hope you enjoy the pictures....we will get some of the others at the Inn soon!

Gorgeous pics :Luv: Such lucky cats ending up at Paws Inn :) Hope they're not waiting too long for their forever home :hug:

-
Adorable! :Luv2:
-
Gorgeous kitties :Luv: :Luv2:
lots of luck for them all xx
-
Excellent photos...hurrah for Chico! I knew he could be weaned. He and Pepsi look so content. :Luv: Great work on all counts, the Paws Inn team. :)
-
if Tula and Sunshine look at a prospective new owner with those pleading expressions I reckon they will be off your hands in a trice ;D

Chico still reminds me a little of a kitten Jack; mixed feelings on that one. But yep, still a big fan of black cats..... :Luv:
-
I love Maisie. She reminds me so much of Lilly with some of her markings and the look in her eyes.
-
Firstly , delighted to hear the Inn is here to stay ;D ;D ;D
I too am in love wih Maisie - I haven't has a tortie yet............................ :sneaky:
-
What beautiful kitties. Paws Inn really do have the best cats. :Luv2:
Tula and Sunshine are just gorgeous!
-
Am glad you have been able to keep the doors open, they are all lovely cats, and fingers crossed for all of them.
-
So gorgeous, all of them! :Luv2: :Luv2: Sunshine looks so much like my Chuch..........................
-
So pleased to see all of them in your care now. All looking wonderful. Very happy to see Chico eating on his own. Magic of Paws Inn strikes again :Luv2:
PS. DellBoy is just :drool;

Busy day today, have re-opened the Summerhouse Pens and moved Sundance(was Tula) and Sunshine who have been neutered and Microchipped today; they are currently having the time of their lives running round and playing. We have moved young Chico into a Pen of his own so that poor Pepsi can have some peace before her next litter arrives, she seemed a bit put out at first but by tea time she was more interested in her food,poor girl looks like a giant pear when she sits up.Young Chico has the blue racing car bed that Daisymac bought for us in the Purrs auction, he seems well impressed.
Christopher seems to be coping well after the untimely death of his sister Robyn last week, still no results of PM but its early days yet.Hopefully when results come we will be able to marry Christopher up with one of the other cats like Ginga Ninja as he needs cat company.
Fuchsia has decided that she is not going to take her medication and I`m afraid I am going to allow her to make that decision, I refuse to stress a cat with such a serious heart murmur out. Happier shorter life is what I`d want in her paws.
Milly has allowed me to stroke her today, ;she has finally forgiven me for leaving her on Oct 10th when I was rushed to hospital, for those who dont know Milly is an outside feral,and can pack in a fair claw punch when she wants,so I am honoured to be in her good books once more.
All other inmates happy and well and I must admit I am enjoying gently weaning myself back into things,poor husband is still doing all the mucking out.
Minimopsical says Hello to everyone and sends love to Aunty Ruth.
-
Glad to hear the Inn is thriving so. Aunty Ruth sends cuddles all the way back. I was thinking of Minimopsical the other day and got a real hankering for giving her a good belly tickle. Miss the softeness of her fur and that wonderful purr. :Luv:
Hoping Christopher continues to fare well. He's such a lovel boy I am sure once he gets some company he'll continue to do well.
Keep taking it easy though T, please. Just to keep your strength. :hug:
-
Lovely update and glad all is well :)
Really pleased to hear Christopher is doing ok but I do hope you can pal him up with another kitty that would be lovely for him :hug:
-
Life sounds as though the Inn is coming back to life, the best thing in the world a forgiving feral :Luv2:
Aunty T must take it ewasy though only duties hugging cats between oxygen snorts :rofl:
-
Just keeping strength up and doing light exercise minus oxygen and managed a few pics.
We have little Chico in his car :rofl:
Ginger Ninja doing his best to headbutt the camera
Noodles just coming out of her house
Milly the feral who has rubbed my legs every which way and decided I am to be loved again.

Steve is not giving in on me having Chico, you will all have to give him an ear bashing about it at the cat chat party if I dont get round him first :Luv2:
-
Awww - I'd love Rosella or Claire to give Chico a home. I was ecstatic when Teresa stepped in to help him and Pepsi and it would be great if he got homed with a Purrs regular so I could get updates.... :shy: (Pepsi too; come on folks, start "reserving" her now. She's a lovely girl. :Luv:)
-
What a positive update - well done T. Fabulous photos too - who could resist Chico in his car. :Luv2: I don't know about growing cats in the greenhouse, I think you're growing cat beds. :rofl:

Andy phoned with results of Robyns PM, her death was the result of a heart attack due to the the sudden failure of the right hand heart muscle. A very good friend has just pointed out that " It means that Robyn will have been totally unaware and did not suffer for a single moment" Nothing else was found and she was apparently enjoying good health to the end.
We will now think about teaming him up with Ginja Ninja until a purr fect home is found.
-
:hug:
Hope the results can help to put your mind at rest :hug: I bet Robyn would be very pleased for her brother to have a new friend to cuddle up to :hug:
-
Sounds wrong somehow saying thats good news but it is isn't it? So glad your mind has been put at rest and Christopher can have a new friend.
-

Carol it is reassuring news, we also checked for FIP and other deadly diseases, at least we now know all is well. :hug:
-
That's quite unusual in a cat Robyns age presumably? Sad, but as you said, at least it wasn't something that could spread.
She was a beautiful girl and I'm glad she had your love while she was alive. :hug:
-
Glad the PM had releaving results.
My goodness those cats are just cuties! I wish I had a bigger house! :rofl:

:( At least she didn't suffer at all. That has to be a massive consolation. :hug:

I am glad that it wasn't anything contagious, and Christopher can have a new friend now.

How much longer until Pepsi has her litter, do you think Teresa?
-

We are waiting for April, strange I remember saying that about Rosella waiting for May and she had Mayday babies.
Good news is that I have just rehomed Sundance and Sunshine, was a very tough hour in summerhouse chatting and hanging onto oxygen bottle but I managed.
-
I'm in love with Tula :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: - dont post tabby photos - you know what they do to me :Luv:
-

Haha Tula was renamed Sundance as we already have a Tula,and Tula is a girls name not a boys, So you will be delighted to hear HE now has a new home with his sister Sunshine :rofl:
-
This is one of my favourite instrumental songs and its name is Sundance ... skip the first two minutes as that is mainly 'bang bang'/ repetitive. As the tune builds it makes me think of summer days, blue skies and fluffy white clouds! Hopefully it will make one of you smile as it does me. ;D

Been in and out to Pepsi every hour this morning and we have just had first kitten born :Luv: will update later, she is fine doesnt need me.
-
Hope she'll be ok Teresa! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:cheer:
-
Bless her, she's a natural. :Luv:
-
Just saw No 2 being born. such a beautiful sight
-
:yesss: I wonder how many she'll have and if they'll be black. :yesss:
-
Pepsi resting now while kittens are busy at the milk bar.
-
How many so far? Two....or have there been more arrivals? :)
-
Well done Pepsi. Turned out to be not such a miserable day in jail after all Teresa :)
-
At 4pm she was resting with 3 kittens happily suckling at milk bar, she is currently doing a little dance of joy in her Pen and having a fuss off OH and I have just counted her babies
5 All Black Beauties :Luv:
just so pleased we got this girl out when we did and managed to feed her up. Have got someone coming to meet her older kitten Chico in the morning.
-
here is the thread, oh I am so pleased.
Someone coming to see Chico :-: I so wanted him but Steve says no more cats (well that is until he does something really bad, feels guilty and lets me have another one :rofl: )
-
Oh why did they all have to be black - my favourite :Luv2:
So glad all went well and that Mum and Babies are doing well
Daisey Mac - you need to work on the guilt thing - thats how the Clan came together!!!! :evillaugh:
-
Hurrah! Chico has visitors; VERY exciting!
And five beautiful black babies for a stunning black Mumcat. :Luv:
-
Looking forward to the pictures when it is safe to take them :Luv:
-
FIVE BABIES-and only a baby herself :Luv2: :Luv2: Thank goodness you got her when you did, Teresa! :hug: :hug:
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: to mommy and her little ones
-
Awwwwww!!! Can't wait to see a pic of the black beauties!!
-
5 all black kitties :catlove: looking forward to photos!
-
Aww look at that little man in his car, looks like my Ollie when he was a kitten :Luv2:
-
Chico's ace, isn't he? :Luv:
-
Chico's ace, isn't he? :Luv:
JS you wouldnt recognise Chico as the same boy, he`s come on leaps and bounds and instead of lying still because of a poorly chest he is bright and bouncy and enjoying himself, he`s put a good bit of weight on too and his brown coat is now shiny black.
Pepsi and babies all content this morning.
-
Good Friday will be Good for Chico,thats when he goes to his new home :cheer:
-
great news!
-
Teresa, I can't thank you enough for helping Pepsi and Chico. :hug: What you and Rob did was above and beyond, and I'll never forget it. The fact that this lady thought it acceptable to leave such a small boy without medical help when he really clearly needed it makes me seethe, and then you restore my faith in human nature. :)
Please give Chico a big fuss for me and tell him good luck in his new home. Also give Pepsi a cuddle and tell her I think she's wonderful. :)
-
:yayyy: :dance: :cheer: :yesss:
Can you tell I'm pleased. :rofl: That look of Chico's in the early pics soooo reminds me of Korky. Who sez all all black cats look the same? :catlove2:
Looking forward to Peeing pepsi with her new arrivals when they feel up to a photo shoot.
-
Brilliant news! :wooooo: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Looking forward to Peeing pepsi
I'm sure we'd all like to see that :innocent: :rofl:
So pleased for Chico and so happy that five new babies are in the best place in the world. :Luv2:

I'm sure we'd all like to see that :innocent: :rofl:

I assumed it was her nickname!

Yippee for Chico finding a forever home!

Sundance & Sunshine off to a new home, 5 beautiful babies (I presume! :see:) from Pepsi and now Chico off to a great new home too :wow:
-
As requested pictures, had to omit mum because it is totally impossible to see kittens in such a sea of black, will get Claire to do a proper pics on Saturday, Pepsi is wonderfully happy as for Chico he must be ecstatic because he has taken to putting his tail over his head in delight, I did tell him he now has 5 new brothers and sisters.
Modified to add bedding is dirty as it is the birth bedding, as kittens are blind and deaf it is best to leave bedding unchanged for day or two.

:Luv2:

Black beauties indeed. :Luv2: i will never understand why black kitties are not more popular.

:Luv2: :Luv2: awwww

Shy superstars :Luv:

Lovely babies, I am going to come up and meet them soon. Putting the tail over the head must be a Paws Inn thing, Ripley still does it and it bashes him on the head, he looks round to see what it is bashing him, mad boy :rofl:
-
Oh my what stunners - there is something about the magical black cat -My next move once snow is gone is a kidnapping trip to the Inn with a large handbag to match your new shoes as a distraction :innocent: :sneaky:
-
will get Claire to do a proper pics on Saturday,
Your pics were lovely Teresa but seeing little black faces would be fab too :Luv:
-

3girls, 2 boys, Claire will choose names tomorrow though I have jumped the gun and named one of the boys Korky after Wendolenes bridge baby.

At the risk of repeating myself Teresa, they are just SO cute!!! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Pepsi is beautiful :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
-
Pepsi is utterly, utterly stunning! :Luv: Her babies are such sweeties, too. ;D
-
Those little faces... :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Pepsi is gorgeous.
-
Been thinking and this might be really cheeky, Teresa.....but would you and Claire consider naming one of the boys Jack after my handsome black boy? I'd love it if you would, but understand completely if you don't. :hug:
-
Awwww what brilliant pics of the babies and Pepsi is positively glowing bless her. A baby Korky :wooooo: gulp, sniff, sniff. I'm so touched and I thank you on behalf of my Korky who I'm sure is smiling down from Rainbow Bridge. Actually I KNOW he is because this afternoon I was doing some pruning in a a sunny but cold garden when suddenly it started to rain. I looked up and there was a beautiful rainbow. I rushed inside to get the camera but by the time I took this pic it had faded a lot. You can still make it out though (just).
-
Beautiful rainbow from Korky, I will be honest I decided on naming one after Korky when I read your peeing Pepsi post, you mentioned Chico in that post who reminded you of Korky and I know you got s and p mixed up because you were thinking of and missing Korky :hug:
JS will mention your request to Claire tomorrow ;)
-
Incredible pics of babies :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Pepsi is such a young un too :Luv:
Beautiful rainbow from Korky :hug: :hug:
-
Pepsi is supposed to be 6 years old and I guess a right old flusey :rofl:
-
Thanks Teresa. :hug: Soooo, Pepsi is a bit of a flirt then is she? ;)
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: gorgeous kitty photos and rainbow too

OMg I've fallen in love with Pepsi! :Luv: :Luv2: The kittens are cute too, but Pepsi is just stunning.

Lovely names. All you have to do now is make your appointment at Spec Savers . :rofl:
-
Smashing names! :rofl: At Wendolene!
-
Love the names :Luv:
-
I have no transport so it would be difficult for me to get Pepsi even if she did decide she liked me enough to come and live with widget and me. She is very beautiful. :Luv2:
-
Where are you based Scully?
-
Swansea, South Wales.
-
Skully :hug: much as Pepsi will need a good home in a couple of months, she did not travel well on the journey here,so we will be looking for somewhere more local. I note you are South Wales, I know Gill said she once volunteered at a rescue in that area and from what she described things were desperate, so maybe she can point you in right direction.
Regards rehoming out of area, I have no problem with it providing the cat/kitten can cope with the journey, thinking about it ex Paws Inn cats are now in Thailand, Canada,Florida, France and one or two other places, all were rehomed in the knowledge that they would eventually travel.
A little story just sprung to mind, the lady who adopted Minimopsicals brother and sister went on holiday to France (Ardeche) and was delighted the English run accomodation had 2 resident cats, she got talking to the cats humans and told them about her cats and can you imagine the shock when both parties realised they had got their kitties from same place Paws Inn, holidays over that lady was banging on my door to tell me all about my French cats, but of course I already knew because my cats had sent me an email when they first moved to France telling me they were disgusted that none of the cats spoke their language and it was awful hot to be wearing fur coats :rofl:
-
Awww, I didn't know Pepsi had a rough journey, Teresa. Poor girl.
-
No worries Teresa. Whatever is best for Pepsi is what should happen and if travelling isn't her thing then moving to South Wales probably isn't best for her. I hope when she is ready she finds a loving cosy forever home, where she can be treated like a princess. I'm glad she has such a loving guardian as you to watch over her until that time comes. :hug:
-
Kittens were a week old yesterday and all 5 decided to open their eyes a couple of days early, I love it when they first decide to glimpse at the world, Pepsi mum is such a good mother and so very proud of them. Took a few pics and you can just pic out little faces amongst the sea of black now, they get more beautiful each day. No pics of mum today she decided she wanted to stretch her legs and have a little wander.
-
They're SO cute! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Scrummy little babies! I love the blue colour little kittens eyes are when they first open. :Luv2:
-
they are lovely T, its so cute when they all cuddle up like that
-
Adorable :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
I don't know what the proper collective word for a group of kittens is but seeing those pics it's got to be a bundle :Luv:
-
A knittin' of kittens! ;D Gorgeous ;D

Helen its a kindle or litter

Still not been to spec savers :rofl: I do see what you mean though Carol, kittens are usually about 3 weeks old when it becomes apparent that they will be fluffy or at least thats always been the case with the moggies here.
-
Soooo cute! :Luv: She strikes me as a good mum, does Pepsi. :Luv:
-
Just catching up after being away on holiday and I'm really sad about Robyn (play hard at the bridge, little one) but pleased that Pepsi and kittens are all well.
Big hugs,
Carolyn
xx
-
All continuing to do well, will truy and get more pics soon.
Carolyn, Robyns death was heartbreaking and such a shock,hence the PM. Hope you had a good holiday and that Momo and Cassidy are well, time we had some pics of that very handsome duo :hug:
-

Hi T, sorry I've not replied earlier, we've had problems with Momo being ill since he got back from the cattery after the holiday last week :( He's been coughing/gagging and is withdrawn. We thought it might have been a stuck furball (he brought a couple of huge ones up yesterday), but he didn't improve and started to sound wheezy so we took him to the vet's. The poor boy can't purr without gagging :( The vet has given him antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injections and he's perked up a ;ittle bit since then, but he left us a "surprise" on our bed which we though was another furball and turned out to be full of cat hair but from the other end. He's forgiven though as he isn't well and he'd been running up and downstairs and going in his tray several times first since he had the injections (his tummy seems fine now). If there isn't a vast improvement by Thursday, the vet wants us to call him and try something else. He said it was an infection or virus (not something we thought would happen to a fully vaccinated cat) and that we had to phone the cattery to let them know, as that's where he would have picked it up. I asked about other extra vaccinations in future, but the vet said they don't really work that well for other things than the major stuff. Cassidy is currently his usual self, tough as old boots and being a comedian. The vet said to keep a close eye on him in case he picks it up too, but we know what we're looking for now! Momo had a good going over with the Furminator tonight, we'd not groomed him since he came out of the cattery to avoid distress with him being ill, but the vet said it was OK and in fact probably a good idea.
I'll get some pictures sorted out when Momo is a bit better and more like his usual affectionate self!
-
Poor Momo, hoping he is soon back to his normal happy self at least he has comedian Cassidy to comfort him with his " Mowww Mowww" hes still the only cat I have known do that.
Please keep me up to date with progress and give both a :hug: from me.
Didnt manage to get pictures of inmates at weekend but all are doing well, Pepsis kittens were 2 weeks yesterday and are thriving, got so many beautiful friendly adults here and not one bit of interest yet I am up and down like a yoyo answering phone to people wanting tiny kittens so unfair.
-
Momo is much better now, the end of his nose is back to being pink today rather than white and he is eating well and purring :)
Both he and Cassidy send you some big headbutts and kitty kisses.
I'm glad to hear that Pepsi's kittens are doing well. It's saddening though that the adults are being overlooked when I know you work so hard and they are always lovely cats at Paws Inn.
-
How are the beautiful Pepsi :Luv2: and bambinos :Luv: doing? Growing fast I bet.

No worries about the photos. Feel better soon! :hug:

I know some of you will be thrilled to see this update on Chico new name Scamp.
Hi there Teresa,
I thought it was about time to give you an update on dear little Chico as it's two weeks today since he came home to us.
First thing, and I hope you don't mind, Chico is now his middle name as he's now become Scamp due to his relentless scampering! He's quickly figured out that no room is out of bounds to him and boy does he scamper round the place! He still looks like a little Chico of course :)
He and Scruff are getting along well as one of the images attached will show. There's been a couple of affectionate licks between the two and they get closer and closer each day :)
He really is turning into such a wonderful and affectionate little boy. Thanks to your's and your husband's love I think that thankfully his rough start to life has had no lasting effects. He's currently curled up on my lap and I'm precariously balancing the laptop on the arm of the sofa lol.
Attached are a couple of pics of him and one with Scruff and he asleep on our bed.
I hope that both of you are doing well. I became rather concerned for you when I heard about this volcanic cloud floating over the UK as I can't imagine it will be good for lungs. How are Pepsi and her babies doing?
Also please let me know if you get round to doing any fundraising activities this year as I am more than happy to donate some 'cat lovers' t-shirts for a raffle/tombola etc. I've still not had any luck with that wrapping paper though sorry!
The very best regards to you and all of the Paws Inn residents :)
Sarah, Steff, Scruff and Scamp Chico

I can't tell you the amount of satisfaction I got from reading that and seeing the pics, must be ten-fold for you :hug:

Oh my word! :Luv: He looks soooo much better than when we collected him. His fur's glossy and it's very clear he's loved an awful lot. I can't begin to thank you enough, Teresa. :hug: :hug:

All lovely photos :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Oh Aunty T if the ginger nija's ever need a forever home they can come and join our crew they are just so :Luv2:
Next napping plan will be the black stunners :Luv:
Miss M looking divine and Way to go Monica so much for last years incident ;D
I think that some of the Paws Inn long stayers or the ones not for the feinthearted normal homes should come and live here at the Clan I am in love just got to figure out the napping mission - how far are you from manchester - I have to go to a 101st birthday and feel it may be cut short to visit Aunty T and the Paws Inn mob! ;D
-
What lovely pictures!! :Luv:
-
:rofl: Ginga Ninga is just such a poser! He's adorable.
I am loving all the residents of the Paws Inn. Whatever you 3 are doing at the hotel, you are doing it right, because they all look so happy and healthy. Although I have to admit that Pepsi still has my heart. She's just sooooo pretty.
-
So many adorable cats and kittens!
:hug:
-
Ginga Ninja is stunning-that fluff is just calling out to be munched!!! :Luv2: :Luv2: (All the others are gorgeous too! :rofl:) Hope you're feeling better Teresa :hug:
-
Shirley Ginga Ninja the poser is one of our 2year old ferals , hes quite a softy in many ways now but not munchable :rofl:
Liz we are about 30 minutes drive from Manchester airport, now how much fun can you have at 101st party compared to cat cuddling, you are very welcome to visit.
Pepsi and her kittens were moved from isolation down to the summerhouse pen yesterday, lots of space and fresh air, Claire removed big scratching post with turret top for me as previous mums have all put babies in the top and worried me sick, cant wait for kittens to be big enough to climb and have fun another couple of weeks and they will be everywhere. Korky and Midnight are already quite adventurous which resulted in one leaving the nest and not being able to climb back in, the squeals of help could be heard from the house, just as well as Pepsi wasnt bothered.
-
... just as well as Pepsi wasnt bothered.
Maybe she's had quite enough of being a mother, thank you very much! ;)
-
I think everyone on here knows how i feel about ferals, lol! ;) :Luv2: :Luv2: He is just so gorgeous, like most of them at Cramar, very clean and some even love a fuss! :Luv2: I've never seen a nasty one yet, even at my old work where Charlie came from-only scared ones :(
Pepsi's family sound wonderful! :Luv2:
-
We hope to be down in June Auntie T and will hopefully get the time to visit - I will prepare the big handbag!!!! ;) :rofl:
I think I now have 3 things for the Clan to achieve - a Paws Inn Baby, a Sunny Harbour baby and one day a snow marbled blue eyed bengal baby - not much to ask but I can dream and on the doggie front my Blue Merle boy - the colour of Border Collie that I have always wanted - it would be a nice set - Black and white Sky, red tri colour - Sunny and the newbie the grey and white but better wait a while OH may not agree to all of them!!! :evillaugh:

Did long update this afternoon and computer went down so lost it all,
Minimopsical went to vets today and weighed in at 2.7kg, the dog who was weighed immediately before her was 1.7kg :Crazy: anyway our Minimopsical is under the weather and will be having full bloods in 2 weeks, she has had a 2week antibiotic jab today basically to be sure there is nothing there to complicate her blood tests when they are done, as the last lot ended up having to be repeated and sent off to America,she also needs a dental which will carry risk so we need acurate bloods first. Andy also thinks she may be missing mothering tiny kittens, Lancelot was her last charge.
Pepsi`s babies are 3 weeks old today and adorable, I sneaked down the garden to far side of summerhouse and gazed at them playing through the window, I wanted to watch them naturally without human intervention and it was magical , weather was fine and all was calm until something spooked Pepsi and she leapt onto scratching post and pounced at window, I almost ended up in the monkey puzzle tree :rofl: What spooked her the noise from the conserver on my oxygen bottle :rofl:
Fuchsia seems to be doing ok for now and Andy agrees with me that its best not to stress her out with the meds.
All else seem fine and Ginga Ninja as usually decided to do a cute pose or 3 for an unexpected visitor who refused to believe he could ever have been feral.
-
Blimey Teresa, you take some chances! :evillaugh: I can just imagine you, dazed and tangled, hedge backwards in the monkey puzzle... :evillaugh:
Paddy very anxiously wants me to send super snoozles to Miss Minimopsical, and he hopes that there's nothing seriously amiss. Maybe she is missing her duties, bless her - like you, she's never normally without little charges of one description or another. :cat rub:
-
Just a quick update to let you know that Minimopsical is at the vets, she has deteriorated overnight.
-
Sending lots of get well wishes to Minimopsical :hug:

Teresa has asked me to let you know that sadly Minimopsical was diagnosed with lung cancer today. She had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go.Such very sad news :(
I've created a thread here http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,31881.0.html to dedicate to Minimopsical.
-
I am so sorry and like all of us, my thoughts are with Teresa at this time.

I'm so sorry to hear this Teresa, she sounds a very special furbabe. :hug: to you and R.I.P. Minimopsical xxx :(

Hi all,
I feel absolutley awful that this is my first post on this site as I have been registered for some time having been a previous Cat Chat regular (read only) and only just thought to look at the forums on this site. When I saw that there was a Paws Inn thread I was ecstatic as I have recently been in contact with T and Rob. When I read a little further and read about Mini I can honestly say that it brought a tear to my eye.
I really, really don't want to be seen as to be 'hijacking' this thread on poor little girl but wanted to post a message as I hope it will bring some cheer to Teresa. I'm actually the girl who adopted a certain little boy who some of you may be familiar with named Chico who's now a little Scamp. Earlier this evening I had cause to go on the CatChat website and my computer 'cookies' reloaded the first page which I ever on the little chap. The page read that he was "very weak and a bit of a weed". I have never laught so hard as he is anything but that now and is scarily and extremely strong. He seems tp have picked up a dog like habit and loves to play chase! It's very bizarre yet adorable but I dread to think how much time I've spent playing it with him. Time well spent though!
Chico/Scamp has brought so, so much happiness to me and my fiancee (and I honestly think my 'existing' cat Scruff is coming to enjoy his company juding by the way they snuggle on our bed :) ) and I really want to thank Teresa and anyone else on this site who may have helped the poor little lad's start to life.
I saw that T posted some pics from an email I sent recently and it gave me such a warm glow inside! You guys do such a fantastic job and I'm so, so grateful. To re-read that first appeal page on the little thing really is incredible. He is so, so, so strong now you would not believe!
Once again, if this post come across as somewhat insensitive then I sincerely apologise. I had heard about little Miniscopical's story on the Paws Inn website and met the little lady when collecting Chico/Scamp. I hope she's happily chasing butterflys somehwere on that rainbow bridge that we all unfortunately know so much about.
Teresa, I hope me posting on here doesn't cause any alarm and I am delighted and honoured that you have shared the pics of little Chico/Scamp and Scruff. I am very, very sorry for your loss but I want you to know how much happiness your kind commitment brings to us adoptive parents.
Take good care in be in touch again soon,
Sarah
PS - STILL looking for that wrapping paper!
-
:welcome: to Purrs, Lil_Scruff: glad you found us and decided to join in ;D
I don't think your post is insensitive: Minimopsical would be the first to applaud the successful career of a Paws Inn graduate and at a time of sadness, it's great to hear Scamp's tale of hope.
-
Welcome to Purrs Sarah LilScruff, in truth your post is just the tonic I need right now.
No such thing as hijacking this thread, its all about Paws Inn past, present and future and Chico/ Scamp as Christine so wonderfully put it is a Paws Inn graduate,stick around and you will meet many more on Purrs. .
Hope this means you will be posting pictures of our boy as he grows up.
If you scrolled right back you will come across pics of Chico/Scamps mum Pepsi and his 5 younger brothers and sisters
Sorry not able to chat about anything else at minute, but thankyou all for posts pm`s :hug: :hug:
-
I agree - Lil_Scruff, your post is very inspirational, and kind of sums up beautifully what Paws Inn, Minimopsical and Purrs represents :hug: :hug: So glad Chico/Scamp has got his paws firmly under your table and is setting about continuing the good work :)
-
A lovely update Sarah :Luv:
-
So glad Chico/Scamp has got his paws firmly under your table and is setting about continuing the good work :)
Definitely....and more photos please! ;)

Hi All,
Thanks for being so welcoming and I'm so glad I didn't come across as being insensitive or my post poorly timed.
I think it's wonderful, thanks to the technology, to be able to keep in touch and share photos etc of successful rescues. When I picked Chico/Scamp up from Teresa I remember commenting that it must be the worst part of the job parting with such a beautiful and friendly little loveable bundle but she replied that it was the best part as she knew the little one was going to a good home and that her job was done. The least I can do is keep in touch to give updates :)
It was really nice being able to meet Pepsi and hear a little about Scamp's background as so often it's a complete mystery. Our 'existing' cat Scruff came to us as a stray thus we knew absolutely nothing about him. There's actually quite a tale to tell about him which I'm sure you'll all love to hear and I'll try to make a post on that later in the week.
One 'regret' I have is that I didn't weigh and measure Scamp when we got him as I can tell he's grown so fast and I'd love to know the difference. I did halfheartedly put him in some cooking measuring scales but did not manage to get a successful figure lol. We've relatively recently moved house and we don't have any human weighing scales and I think I'd rather keep it that way as I can't bear to look at them ! :innocent:
Anyhoo, I'm so, so glad that my previous post was able to give Teresa a short and happy distraction from a sad week at Paws.
All the best to you all,
S.
-
Cant tell story at minute but Daisymac will help out and maybe Kittybabe when 16 pic posted a miracle
-
next
-
next 1 more batch
-
last lot, over to you DM and KB
-
What amazing pictures....I see a ginger Toby baby! Updates please, DM and KB! ;)
-
I think I see Claire updating before I do so I will let her provide the story.
T I just have to say, these two babies are just perfect. Keeping all my toes and fingers crossed for them both. Maisie is just luscious and already looks to be doing the right job. :Luv2:
-
Babies have been named already
-
Excellent. What are they called? (I meant the markings look a lot like Tobesters. ;) I wasn't angling to name another cat.... :))
-
That would be Hercules and MiniPopsicle :Luv2:
-
Wow what a day, I was totally gutted that T decided to close Paws Inn, I really thought it was a loss to us here on Purrs and a loss to all the cats and kittens she has saved, including my Ripley who is really is the light of my life....... anyway, I phone Teresa when I get in from work, Rob answers the phone and says we are having an emergency and T cant come to the phone, I am now seriously worried, I speak to T eventually and catch up with what has been happening. Maisie the lovely Tortie girl that Claire R is in love with (pic on page 1 of this thread) has given birth to 3 kittens, the birth is premature and nobody had any idea that Maisie was pregnant, she was losing weight and that was a concern not gaining weight through pregnancy :Crazy: unfortunately one of the kittens was still born, another one of the kittens (black and white) is weak but is suckling from Mum and the 3rd kitten (ginger) was alive but was left by Mum and was dying. Teresa goes into Teresa mode, runs into the garden with no oxygen, tells Rob to do exactly as she says, they take the little ginger kitten, T throws everything out of her tumble dryer onto the floor, gets some towels warmed up, gets warm water in the sink and gets that kitten warm and starting to respond, she has been rubbing and helping the kitten and it seems to be stronger, T knows she has a choice here, she either hand rears this kitten or she gets it to suckle from it's Mum, bearing in mind a newborn kitten has 1ml of milk per hour and you can not give that too quickly or you flood the lungs, hand rearing a newborn is quite a risk. If she is going to get the kitten to suckle from Mum, she has one chance at this, she has to take the kitten back to Mum, squeeze Mum's teats to produce milk and get the kitten on as soon as possible and sucking, if it doesn't work first time it wont work at all. So far the kitten is back with Mum it is sucking and things seem OK, T is checking every half hour and will hand rear if she see's any sign of distress.
So all in all, Paws Inn is back in business this evening, T is performing miracles and I bet that Minimopsical and Buster hatched this plan from Rainbow Bridge over a nice leisurely breakfast this morning :Luv2:
-
Those sneaky felines! And I love the names! Which one's which?
-
:hug: to auntie T and the little ones.
-
Hercules is ginger MiniPopsical is black/white both boys.
Their chances of survival are very slim but I have found my old fighting spirit with a lot of help from 3 wonderful people on this forum and by heck I will be fighting for them.
Please God its me again, I`m sorry I doubted your existence but please just 2 little miracles for these babies.
Off out to Pens now
-
Minimopsical and Buster obviously had other palns for their Mum our Aunty T ansd no doubt hatched this plan from Rainbow Bridge over a nice leisurely breakfast this morning so that their names live on in the spirit of the wonderful plaice they called home and I'm sure there is a guiding paw or 2 for Maisie and her babies :hug:
We have all paws crossed here at the clan for Maise and her babies and of course for our Aunty T - far to young to retire ;)
-
Please God its me again, I'm sorry I doubted your existence but please just 2 little miracles for these babies.
I'm fairly sure he'll listen to you. ;) :hug: Keep fighting little ones, you can do it!!
-
I'm keeping everything crossed for them and sending lots of fighting spirit their way. Boopy's first litter were premature and the vet told me that he did not expect any of them to make it. 3 of them did and just look at Star and Minxy now!!
-
Keeping everything crossed for these babes :hug: :hug:
-
Ooh more healing healthy vibes being sent out to these 2 wee babies and their mum, and to you to T.
-
Im a lurker ... :-[
But HAD to say Im so thrilled to read this and see those pictures. :Luv2:
Many, many good wishes, love and vibes and coming your way :hug:
All fingers and paws crossed with the Chessington Mob here!
-
Maisie has rejected Hercules yet again, so I have left her with MiniPosical who is warm and being fed and brought Hercules ginger who had yet again gone cold into house, I know that mum cat knows best but I have to try and Hercules has just had his first feed from me after being warmed up.
Guess I will be up all night but in the morning I will be having words with Maisie over her virgin birth :rofl:
-
All the best for these babies and for you Teresa :Luv2: :hug:
-
The Clan are sending all their postivie thoughts to you and Hercules for a peaceful productive night :hug:
-
Sending lots of love, will be thinking about the little ones :hug:
-
Come on Hercules and Minipopsical!! You can do it guys. And Maisie, you're a sly girl. :hug: to Teresa.
-
3rd feed just given and first wee done, best explain the various pics which OH took as I worked.
First one in sink of warm water to slowly bring body temp up, from then on he was rubbed with warmed up flannels heated in tumble dryer, at one stage gave him whiff of my oxygen and eventually got a sucking motion.Finally when warm and sucking went out and squeezed milk from Maisies teat and popped him on it, sadly Maisie later rejected him. I can barely see his little mouth but know he is feeding by the ear movement. If we make it through the night we will see if mum feels differently about him.
Roll on morning I am worn out, got a bit used to good life of going to bed.
I am in utter disbelief that Maisie was pregnant and I know that ClaireR who has cuddled and cuddled her will not believe this could happen. Hopefully I will wake up and find its all been a crazy dream.
Update on other Paws Inn cats all well, Pepsis kittens running round playing, poor Dell Boy quite verbal after all the commotion in Pens with Maisie, must find a treat for the poor boy tomorrow.
-
Crazy stuff - fingers crossed for little Hercules. (And Minipopsical of course, but he has an advantage.)
Glad to hear Pepsi and her brood are doing well, and Dell Boy.... :Luv:
-
Keeping everything crossed for the babies and that they make it, positive thoughts going out from me xxx
-
Am absolutely blown away by what has happened on this thread. I looked at the pictures and didn't understand at first.
I hope that all is well this morning. I take nothing for granted, but - Aunty T - Paddy just Looooooves his Aunty T and sends you this :catplay2: :cat rub:
-
Its been a very long night and there is some good news and some bad.
The good news is that MiniPopsical who is with mum is still alive, the bad news is that Hercules died 10 minutes ago,it wasnt for want of trying we gave it our best shot but a case of mum cat knew best. Had we left him with mum cat he would have died yesterday evening, we can only do what we believe to be right for these little ones, faced with such a terrible choice, and if it had been possible, he would have stayed with mum.
Pepsi`s kittens have tasted their first solids this morning, a little dry Royal Canin kitten growth which was left for mum so they have now been given a dish of the R,C, weaning kitten which Pepsi will probably steal, these cats get the better of us every time :)
Please no RIP`s or candles this must stay a happy place today.
-
You all gave it your best shot - can't help thinking that Minimopsical will be first at the bridge looking out for little Hercules. She will look after him. He won't be left alone. :hug:
-
In life Minimopsical was always in charge, this is how I imagine her now.
-
:Luv: Yes, I don't think you're wrong, Teresa.
-
Hercules was very lucky that you were able to give him every chance Teresa, but Mini needed a little one to care for at the Bridge. Fingers crossed Minipopsical (love the name), continues to be a fighter, and that Maisie is a good mum. Can't believe the way your day turned out yesterday.
-
Come on Minipopsical keep sucking :Luv2:
Bet Pepsi thinks it is Christmas with all this extra food, I tried deperately to wean Gracies kittens it was a nightmare as Gracie would always eat all the food :Crazy:
Try and get some sleep now T, Minipopsical needs you to be 100% :hug:
Minimopsical, Buster and Hercules are now having breakfast together and planning the next intervention to keep that Inn open and Minimopsical is in her element as she has a baby to care for. :Luv2:
-
I too am a lurker here
T you have been amazing looking after these kittens.
Mega vibes coming your way from us :hug: :hug:
-
wow Teresa what a twist of fate - I guess the Inn will be open just that little bit longer now :hug: :hug:
-
Hercules was obviously meant to be Minimopsicals charge, as Desley said. :hug:
Great news that the other little guy is hanging in there and Mum cat's doing well. Also brilliant news about Pepsi and her little tribe! Get some sleep, Teresa - it's well deserved. :)
-
Oh dear. T you did the best you could, but sometimes it's not meant to be. I hope mum and the remaining kitten thrive. :Luv2:
I'm Glad to hear Pepsi and her kittens are doing so well :Luv:
Dell boy is probably just jealous of all the attention others are getting. :hug:
-
Glad to hear that things are going well but can't not say I'm sorry about Hercules
Love the photo of Minimopsical on the bench giving orders :naughty:
-
wow Teresa what a twist of fate - I guess the Inn will be open just that little bit longer now :hug: :hug:
You cant just close doors because of all the cats in care. I originally intended to get through this years kitten season, after events of last few days I felt I could not do it. Having been forced to go onto auto pilot to deal with yesterdays emergency made me realise that there is still fight in this old boot and that I can be useful after all.
I think I really need to get over the loss of Minimopsical and sort out a lot of outstanding issues relating to my illness before I make any further decision.
Just back in from checking Maisie and baby, baby still ok , Maisie looking exhausted, will keep very close eye on her as may yet take her to vet.
-
you'll always be useful!
-
Teresa, you are absolutely amazing. I agree that you will still be grieving about Minimopsical, she was a large part of your life and it won't be an easy thing to not have her around any more. :hug: I for one, am in absolute awe not only of the work you do, but also to the level of commitment you put into it!
-
Teresa if you did decide to be less hands on in the future maybe you could write some of your valuable knowledge of cat rescue down as reference to those just setting up. All you have done and all you have learned along the way is worth more than gold to others.
-
Reminds me of that song by Chumbawumba - "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down...." :hug: :hug: Keep on fighting, Aunty T. :)
-
Teresa , you are amazing! Nuff said really.
-
hope maise and babe are ok today
-
hope maise and babe are ok today
Maisie much brighter this afternoon and little MiniPopsical has survived his first 24 hours.

Great stuff. :)

Brilliant ;D

Minipopsical is just a fab name! I love it. :hug: :hug:

Really sad news MiniPopsical died early this morning.
-
Sorry T :hug:
It was a very long shot trying to save her :'(
-
I am sorry to hear this, but they did get the best chance. I hope Maisie is OK, and not pining.
-
That is sad news. I hop too that Maisie is doing okay. Two little babies for Minimopsical to care for. :hug: :hug:
-
You did everything you could, they had the best possible chance with you, you couldnt have done more :hug: :hug:

Thought I would get this thread back on a happier note, Pepsi`s kittens are growing up fast; those who remember her kitten Chico will know that he was 3 months old and not eating solids, (one of the reasons they were given a place at the Inn), anyhow expected to have difficultly weaning this litter as Pepsi is an excellent mother but somewhat a gannet. Today it was lovely to see 2 little blacks stealing kitten dry and another 2 licking the jelly from whiskas kitten while mum was busy eating her own, so need kitten number 5 to start getting curious now.They were 4 weeks old on Tuesday so earlybirds.
Today is big day for me as I will be alone till midnight and this means it will be the first time I have had to cope with feeding,poop scooping etc alone since 9th October, sounds silly I know but to me it will be like running the London marathon, at least OH did mucking out this morning.
-
Glad to hear her litter is doing well, and no problems with having two so close together. Good luck for today, am sure you will cope with no problems.

They look like little punctuation marks :evillaugh:

Look at those babies!
I so miss having a black cat.

I hear you. However when I do they will be named Salem.
Just so my father in law can make witch jokes :evillaugh:

I knew a black cat called Salem briefly, he was a lovely old lad. :)
-
They are gorgeous :Luv:
Will be thinking about you this evening Theresa :hug:
-
Aww, I do love pure blacks.
-
Sorry to hear Minipopsical didn't make it. Too small, too early. You did everything possible and gave him a chance.
Ooh and Pepsi and her munkypunks look fabulous :Luv2: :Luv: :Luv2: I am so utterly in love with them all.
Could you train Dell Boy to poopscoop for you? He was making all that fuss the other day, maybe being more involved would stop him whining :evillaugh:
-
Pepsi`s 5 kittens are ALL lapping now, really delighted about this,they will still enjoy the milk bar but not take so much from Pepsi now who surely needs a break ,when you stop and think she has only had 2 weeks and 6 days of not feeding since Christmas bless her.
All inmates happy and well, May is my favourite month of the year so hopefully happier times ahead.
-
Lovely update Teresa! Glad poor Pepsi is getting a bit of rest occasionally, bless her! :Luv2:
-
Excellent. :) I felt for Pepsi when we collected her and it was apparent she was already pregnant while still feeding Scamp. She must've been exhausted.
Why is May your favourite month? (Just wondering, really....it happens to contain my birthday in it!) :hug:

-
I understand that. I love to see the buds start to flourish on the lilac tree at the bottom of our garden. May babies....hurrah! :)
-
My son, my brother, two of his kids and my best mate are all may babies too! (Not such a good May day is the anniversary of my Dad's death on Monday-lots of not-so-nice things on that date!)
-
Today would have been Minimopsicals 6th birthday, if ever proof was needed that May is wonderful she gave it to us :hug:
Shirley new life new hope, remember those who have left with happiness :hug:

May is a sad and happy time for us all - we lost Sailor the feral who outlived his FIV status and ,astered humans and the outside world in the sun in his last 8 weeks at teh Clan
May should be renamed Minimopsicals in our calendars so we can remember her for the darling girl she was and will always be thanks to Aunty T and the Paws in Crew :Luv2: :hug:
-
Liz what a lovely thought but we lost our president Buster on 22nd May 2008 and it would be unfair to have favourites. Instead I try to remember the happy times which far outweigh any pain. :hug:
-
Glad that they are doing so well.

Been quite a busy afternoon with people here for an hour viewing Christopher, they were lovely people and the lady showed me a video of her 2 year old cat that needs a friend, I almost broke down because I thought I was looking at Christophers late sister Robyn only the surroundings were different.
Pepsi`s kittens have done their first poops in the litter tray, am so proud of them :Luv: and their mum of course, of the five kittens 3 are happily lapping Whiskas kitten in jelly sachets and 2 prefer dry Royal Canin dry kitten.
Maisie seems to have fully recovered from her ordeal earlier in the week so hopefully we will be able to get her spay and vaccinated soon.
So many phone calls and emails from people wanting kittens yet so little interest in beautiful adult cats :(
-
Sounds like the Christopher viewing went well, and at least Pepsis young ones are likely to get good homes quickly through you. I do hope someone can see how stunning that girl is despite her being past "kittenhood."
-
:) Good to hear things are going well but such a shame about the lovely older cats :(
-
All current inmates well, thought you might enjoy an update on a former inmate, he was one of my bottlefeds and we named him Paddy after aunty Suepoos Paddy, delighted to say he`s grown quite a bit. Heres a copy of the email
Hi
I just wanted to update you on Paddy. He has been with us over a year now and he’s the most wonderful cat. Never have I seen a cat with more personality, so affectionate and constantly making us laugh. We love him so much and thank you for giving him to us. Attached are a few pictures of the funny boyJ
-
he looks pretty happy bless him and cath kidson towels too!
-
aww, he is lovely!! :Luv: :Luv:
-
Wonderful :Luv:
-
Oh he's gorgeous! ;D And clearly takes after his namesake, temperament wise :wow: :Luv:
-
Glad to hear that all the inmates are well. ;) And Paddy is a seriously handsome lad; much like the chap he's named after.... :Luv:
-
What a beautiful furbabe! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
What a cutie :Luv2:
-
What a hunk :Luv2: You can't beat those ginger and white boys you know ;D
-
Glad all the inmates are well. Did the lady who viewed Christopher adopt him?

Still not heard from her Carol, so the handsome hunk is still here.
-
Just a quick update to say all inmates are well, Pepsi`s kittens are having the time of their lives running round and generally getting up to mischief will try and do proper update with pics in near future.

They all sound like they're a happy bunch :evillaugh: look forward to photos :Luv2:
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So glad to hear the Pepsi crew are doing well. It must be down to all the loving care they are getting. As I've said before I absolutely adore Pepsi and have a massive soft spot for her :Luv2: I look forward to seeing more photos of her and her wriggly kittens.
-
Glad the kitties are all thriving and looking forward to pics of Pepsi and family :Luv2:

Latest little inmates are Bluebell and Pansy who is 7 weeks, mum gave birth in a shed and old man looked after them, sadly 3 kittens have aleady been handed out on an estate and mum looks as though she is already pregnant again, I hope its just worms. She is currently plastered in poop and I am hoping she is going to clean herself. Will hopefully get Claire to get some decent pics of all inmates on Saturday.
Lily the heavily pregnant tortie has been singing her little head off as has Daisy and Dell Boy, Maisie is calling for all she is worth so we truly know what a cats chorus is at present.
The Inn is one very happy place now.
-
Oooo she's a very pretty cat isn't she. The little kitten is cute too :)
-
Looks like Pansy should have been called Tarzan :naughty: As for Bluebell, what a beautiful girl - poo covered or not :blow kiss:
-
Gorgeous girls :Luv2: :Luv2: Shame about the three handed out on the estate............... :(
-
:Luv2:
-
Oh you do have some lovely inmates and it seems lots of kittens going to be born in a lovely safe place with Auntie T :hug:
-
Liz, I believe the size of your handbag is getting bigger by the day. If you time it well, you might have some help to sneak the bag out after your visit... mum's the word... :naughty:
-
Some stunners at the Inn , Teresa. :)
-
Oooooo Pansy, you match my JO Ripley perfectly !

-
Have to agree - two very beautiful cats - Bluebell doesn't look that old does she?
-
Aww, lovely cats, fingers crossed that Bluebell just has worms.

Ok we already have 3 Purrs catnappers expected so why dont you all just organise a date to come and we will throw it open to all Purrs peeps for a meet up and cat cuddling day.
Refreshments will be provided but entrance fee will be sachet of cat food per person per cat in care :rofl:

Good plan T!

I need a post code for my sat nav! Fed up getting lost all the time, so got one at last! Mind you i can't work it properly yet! :rofl: :rofl:

Mine really depends on the 101 birthday party and arranging for the Mug sorry the Clans Auntie Elaine from Perthshire to come and babysit - also need to get teh doggies in to borstal for that time to as its a bit much to ask her to look after our 48, and then she brings her 2 Jack Russells and Tango her cat :shocked:
The handbag will be as large as required - me I have my eyes on the gingers and any others that fall in to the bag - will also be renting out space for the other Purrs visitors!!!! :evillaugh:
We are hopefully Flying down for the party and I know MIL would love to come with me so that we can have some girlie time - her whole house is male - husband, 2 sons and Beethoven the cat!

I'm thinking more the ones who aren't for nortmal homes Aunty T but would fit in at our place as we have the ones not for normal homes or the feinthearted :rofl:
I can take a piccie of the pink shoes though now veering to Pink for the wedding in 3 weeks - not got the outfit yet! :shocked:

Had a call to say that Christopher hid for all of 10 minutes in his new home, he then came out for food and a groom after having a good sniff round. He did see his new friend while still in his carrier and no hissing from either so fingers crossed.
A little bit about Christophers new sister, she is exactly the same age as Christopher, her brother dropped dead 2 months ago and when I saw a video of her I thought I was looking at Christophers real sister Robyn, so very strange almost like fate has brought them together.
Am hoping that ClaireR will be visiting this afternoon in which case I will set her to work with camera and then we will be able to do a proper update.
All inmates well, Lily and Daisy in 6 short days have become the most loving little girls you could imagine and Lily has the sweetest voice. Daisy instead of trying to do a runner bolts out of the Pen to wrap herself around your legs ( I have such a soft spot for her).
Bluebell and her kitten Pansy seem to be getting the right idea about the litter tray now :) trouble is they think the water bowl is for playing in and soaking Pen floor :rofl:
We are thinking about moving Dell Boy to Christophers big Pen with outside run now it is vacant, trouble is Mr Dell Boy is very happy in the isolation block surrounded by so many females especially as Maisie was calling all week :rofl: Will think carefully on it.
Also having lots of thoughts about giving the Ginga Ninjas and Grasshopper more freedom by letting them run loose, decision, decisions.
Pepsi and her 5 cheeky kittens are all doing well eating for England and enjoying life.
Olly had an attempt at removing oxygen canular from my face yesterday :rofl:
Unbelievable Milly and Monica came into the house, through the kitchen and into the hall and shared Tula and Ollys food in a very friendly manner.
Fuchsia is still doing ok without her meds.
All in all the Inn is a very happy place at present.
-
Sounds like Life at the Inn is as usual a happy place for all the cats to be - so glad Christopher has settle in well - just the short worry to show his new slave him and his new sister are in charge!
So glad the girls have found their new safety place a wonderful place to be and seem to be coming on in leaps and bounds, don't you just love the ferals when they pop in for a meal - Spider was in today and the 4 Oodie Dooies were a bit shocked to discover an interloper at the food bowls!
-
Teresa, this last post has made me feel really happy. So pleased that Pepsi and her brood and of course all the others are doing well. :hug:
-
So long as you can cat the ninja's and grasshopper for my large handbag mission ;)
-
What a wonderful update!!
-
Ivan with severe allergies
Is Ivan the gorgeous black boy I met upstairs when I came to visit you a few years back? Tell Cat and Chat that I am still madly in love with them though :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

I want to come and live at the Inn :Luv2:

To be honest we dont use those trays cats stood on sides and tipped them up :rofl: they come in handy for keeping enquiring kittens from wandering into bedding storage

Thankyou for the update Teresa,I am really pleased that Lily and Daisy have settled in so well.Love all the piccis,they are all lovely.Love Dell boy,Very Handsome.Lynn.

Lovely smile enducing updates and photos :) :Luv:
-
awww just gorgeous :Luv: :Luv:
-
Oooooooo they are all so gorgeous! Pepsi still has my heart though :) Bluebell is a very striking cat and that Dell Boy is just huge!
Good to see so many well loved and cared for kitties.
I went cat socialising at the local shelter yesterday morning and there were just so many sick, abused and battered cats in there this week that it fair near made me cry. To see all your happy health fluffbuckets, Teresa, has made me feel glad there are people like you showing these abandoned, unwanted and stray cats so much love and care they not only get better, they flourish. Hopefully all those kitties in the rescue will get to thrive under the care of the staff and then move onto new loving forever homes.
-
Wonderful pics.

Beautiful pics indeed :Luv: Just love the pic of Milly in house in greenhouse. How on earth did she fit in there?!! Should rename her Houdini :evillaugh:

Before I agree to rehome anymore cats/kittens I need to go to the opticians, I have to confess to making a huge mistake and have just been told that a beautiful boy I recently rehomed is actually a girl. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I cant divulge who but perhaps the new cat mum may wish to elaborate :rofl:

And so you should, T. That boy is just gorgeous. :Luv2:
Now Miss/Mr Bojangles reminds me of Pippa Pipsqueak too. That little monkey look and certainly the climbing technique is down pat.
-
Mid June good. Will be finishing radiotherapy. So long as you don't mind driving there and back? I won't trust myself on a long journey in case I get too tired. Will still sing out loud though, you can't get away from that :evillaugh:

No I dont mind, singing will be essential, Mr/Miss Bojangles may not like it on the way back, but Aunty T can do a few dry runs singing Duran Duran and a bit of ABC to her :rofl:
-
Pippa is a real lady, Ruth.
Dell Boy will be rehomed when the right home comes, but I have to say he seems to have the qualities of both Buster and Minimopsical, he expresses excellent qualities of leadership combined with fairness and lovability, when the weather is right I may well sit him on Busters Bench just for size mind you. ;)
Daisymac I will leave arrangements in your capable hands, weekend would certainly be best. I only know 50`s, 60`s or nursery rhymms :rofl: :rofl:

I can try mid June but have to convince OH that he needs to be home for more than 2 days just so I can get all my catnapping gear ready - may even drive down with a spare cat box or 2 to go with mu cat napping large handbag!
I have no favourites but am partial to black cats and ginger ninja's :innocent: ;D

I can be available mid June! ;D

Me too!!! :yesss:

Argh!
I posted a big long reply t'other night wih pics but it must have been such a 'big un' that it failed to post! Grr! >:(
Some of you may remember me as the lucky lady who's the adoptive mother to little Chico, now Scamp, my dear little boy.
We had a bit of a 'development' (or perhaps a lack of it would be more accurate!) a couple of weeks ago and it was only this weekend that I plucked up the courage to tell Teresa as, to be honest, I didn't know quite how to tell her!
I'd taken the little man to the vets for a routine appointment. Whilst there I asked him when he'd be ready for his 'little operation' (given the fact that he didn't start eating solids for a while I thought he was a bit 'behind' for his age). So the vets flips him round, lifts up his tail, gives a little chuckle and says "I'm afraid this kitten is a little girl!"
So of couse I felt a bit stupid. Especially because EXACTLY the same thing happened with my other black cat, Scruff, with exactly the same vet. I think he probably thinks I'm a very naive young lady!
Scruff and Scamp are so similar in behaviour and mannerisms and both act so much like little boys. With Scruff we actually have carried on referring to him as a him and to be honest I think we'll do the same with Scamp. Two girl cats aren't meant to get on too well but within days of bringing Scamp home Scruff was grooming Scamp and vice-versa. They sleep and play together so well. Maybe because I'm a little daft, but I wonder that because we're raising them as boys they haven't turned out to be like little madams not liking each other! Truthfully though, as long as they're both happy and healthy then I couldn't care less what sex they are.
I was quite anxious about telling T as I feared that it might come across and sounding a bit cross that my boy was a little girl as that was the last thing I wanted to do. Thankfully T took it all in her stride :)
The funny thing is, the first time I took Scamp to the vets, a few weeks before the latest appointment, the first vet checked him all over and indeed wrote 'male' on Scamp's record card. Also, we all thought we could see little 'bumps' down there but on closer inspection it seems the way that it's just the was Scamp styles 'his' fur :rofl:
Anyhoo, I'm glad the the family's Jeremy Kyle-esque secrets are now out in the open!
All the best,
S.
PS - as to the little operation - of coure we'll be getting 'him' 'done' very soon. We all know what his birth mother's like don't we!
PPS - will post some pics soon (they're stored on the other computer and can't access right now). x

I can sympathise I bought 2 of our feral Girls up as boys and when I had 4 kittens in for the bir removal I went in thinking 3 boys and 1 girl - she was a tortie so not to bad came home with 3 girls and a boy so quick rename = Spike became sparkle, Shaile satyed the same, Xian the tortie and Harvey my only boy :shocked:
It doesn't matter the sex they are you babies and having 47 here at the Clan can testify boys are wonderful but so are my girls!
-
:heeee heeee:
Good job you have non sex specific names for them both!
I also have a gender confused cat, Lucas was called Kali and was Mummy's little princess until the vets told me otherwise :evillaugh:
-
I might be able to join the Paws Inn trip - is there a preferred date yet ? Am looking at options by train - Teresa, is Acton Bridge the nearest station to you ?

Yes Chris Acton Bridge is only a mile from us. Daisymac and Ruth will announce date when they have it and I am sure people travelling from similar areas will offer lifts to others, if not we can certainly get you to and from Acton Bridge.
All cats happy and well, Lily keeping us on our toes with her nesting efforts, she was so enthusiastic last night her bedding was covering litter tray and food bowls and she slept in an empty box :rofl:

I can come any weekend in June, but probably the later the better for me as I want to do some cat napping :evillaugh:
So lets do a vote for weekends
Sat 12th:
Sat 19th:
Sat 26th:
Oh I cant do vote button :'(
Sundays are OK but if I am kitten napping I want to spend at least a day at home with the kitten before Monday comes.
-
The 12th or the 26th for me - I can't do the 19th xx
-
Today would have been Minimopsicals 6th birthday, if ever proof was needed that May is wonderful she gave it to us :hug:
Shirley new life new hope, remember those who have left with happiness :hug:
And here (as you requested a while back) are two of those that left the Inn with happiness and have continued to thrive ever since. Well you did say you wanted some pictures of Momo and Cassidy, T! :)
-
Beautiful furbabes Carolyn! :Luv2: :Luv2:
12th or 26th it is then! Shall we say 26th as Daisymac wants the later the better? ;D
-
26th is good for me :hug:
-
Unless I have viewings booked for that date for my house, the 26th is fine with me too.
-

What absolute stunners :drool; :Luv: How old are they now Carolyn?
-
Carolyn I`m sitting here with tears of joy, they look wonderful, and such lucky boys :hug:
No matter how difficult the journey I will make sure I am here on 26th :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
I would love to join the trip if I can possibly do it, need to investigate getting there tho ;D And if I haven't got my second cat by then well................. :rofl:
-
Can't do 26 sadly as we are driving 300 miles on the 27 so the Dogs can do a sponsered walk in aid of our former CP branch - Sky's second and Sunny's first and our first without our darling Jazz she did all the previus 9 so the boys are doing it in her honour
May be able to do 12 but need to check flight and Inlaws availability - need their car :shocked:
-
I dont think 12th is going to work Liz becuase Bojangles wont of had her injections etc by then and T wont let me catnap her until then :'(
-
[...] T wont let me catnap her until then :'(

As most of you know since the deaths of Buster and Minimopsical Paws Inn is without president or first lady. Olly is currently Purr Master General but he is a little indecisive and not as popular among the inmates as Dell Boy so this evening Dell Boy has been given the temporary post entertainments manager and he asked me to let you know that the cats think it will be great fun to be entertained by you all on
26th June 2010.
-
I am going to put 26th June in my diary right now ;D
-

What absolute stunners :drool; :Luv: How old are they now Carolyn?
Thanks Helen, Momo is 5 and Cassidy is 6, they'll be 6 and 7 on 12th September (Teresa & I decided on their adoption date as their joint birthday as they were both born around September but one year apart). It's hard to believe that they left Paws Inn in 2005, quite a while ago now :)
26th June is potentially free for me as I no longer work weekends (hooray!), but I can't promise anything at the moment as I'll be 30 weeks pregnant then and it's a long journey (around 200 miles). I think I'll have to see how I feel that week as I'm just taking things as they come at the moment :)
-
I decided to risk sitting outside on Busters Bench without my oxygen this afternoon, I sat down thinking of Buster (saturday is the 2nd anniversary of his death) and how difficult it was going to be not to smoke while I was outside, like a bat out of hell Milly the feral appeared dived on my lap and began paddy pawing me, after 10 minutes I could feel my oxygen levels dropping and hated pushing her down; I guess she has finally forgiven me for becoming ill and she prefers my scent now I am a non smoker :rofl:
Madam Lily is so restless she is exhausting me, I am expecting to receive a phone call during the Catchat party for midwifery instructions :rofl:
All the cats are happy and well and their male human is currently giving them a chicken treat.

A little update on two ex Paws Inn residents who I have mentioned previously ,they moved to the Ardeche in France several years ago when their humans decided to open a guest house over there, it seems their humans have now opened a cattery, I cant remember their ages as it is quite some time since I last heard from them, but they are 10 years plus now.
Hello there,
I dont know if you remember us ( the boys arrived in an apple box with their two brothers and a sister and all had apple names). Fluff and Tidge are the stars of our new cattery business. They just love it here - we are at the end of a drive so no traffic, they have their own barn and a neighbour's barn to play in too. There are lots of mice, moles and best of all lizards for stalking and chasing and sunshine for afternoon snoozes.

Glad Milly has forgiven you, and what a lovely update.
-
See what the Paws Inn former residents can get their new slaves to do ;D A lovely update and a wonderful advert for our Auntie T and the crew of Paws Inn
Nice to know Milly is starting to forgive you after all this time - something about those feral ladies - they are stroppy little madams who have very long memories ;)
-
Lovely update, how is my Bojo doing today ?
-
Little Miss Bojangles (Pansy) is nothing like Ripley who is a purr fect gentleman, she is a proper little Tomboy :rofl: but very loveable, she is fine :hug:

Will do a proper update later as Lily is in labour,her first kitten was born 15minutes ago.
She went into labour very late last night and OH and myself were speculating as to numbers, he said 4 I said 5 then jokingly added shes big enough for 7, I think just 2 would be a lovely number, time will tell
-
Good luck, Lily! Hope it all goes well, Teresa. :hug:
-
Ooooh, come on Lily ;D :Luv2: :hug:
-
She`s doing thinks nice and slowly, 2 so far and getting ready for No 3, at least I can tell the first 2 apart unlike Pepsi`s 5 :rofl:

-
Hi Teresa,Thanks so much for the updates.Good to hear she is doing ok.Hope all goes well,Bless her.x.
Just been to check and she is happy and relaxed feeding all 4 babies, so chances are the rejection of last litter was down to her not nice noisy home.
I think she has finished or at least I hope so, its nice to be wrong sometimes.
-
Thats really good to hear,Can't wait to see piccis.x.
-
I think she will have 6 :Luv2: what colours are they ?

Hmmm, surely there's a black or black and white one....they always sneak in it seems. ;)

Chloe-cat says she's too old for "ickles" now and poor Mr T would trip over them, being unable to see or hear them! :shy: ..... but one day . . . ..
-
AWw, glad she had them with no problems.
-
How's mum and ickle ones doing today Teresa?
Hope all is well :hug: :Luv2:
-
Lily is a very proud mum this morning, she was very happy to have a stroll around the Pens (locked inside) while OH did mucking out, as soon as she had finished breakfast she lay almost on her back forcing the little ones to mountaineer to the milk bar :rofl: so all happy and well at the Inn. One of the little black/whites has the cutest white mark around his/her nose almost like a horseshoe but I expect thats my eyesight.
-
Awwww they sound adorable :Luv2: :Luv2:
Can't wait to see more pics when of course you are able to get some more :) :) :)

Extremely worried tonight as Hettie has not been seen since Sunday evening.
-
We have all paws crossed here at the Clan for Hettie and Aunty T :hug:
-
What news of Hettie, Teresa? :hug:
-
What news of Hettie, Teresa? :hug:
She hasn`t turned up. For those who dont know Hettie she is the first feral we released here in June 1998 so she is getting quite old, she is totally feral still, a way of life she chose and one we respect,it doesnt mean we love her any less but I think it means we worry about her so much more.
-
That doesn't sound good, but sending positive thoughts that she'll turn up later Teresa. Know how much this will be causing you anxiety. :hug: :hug: Feral or not, as you say, doesn't mean she doesn't have a place in your heart.
-
Hettie was probably annoyed you went away for the night and left her, Gracie Dirty Face is the same, she packs her bags and goes off for a good week if I am not at home for one night, it is like she is telling me off. I am sure she will be back soon :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Come on Hettie, get yourself home. :hug:
-
Hope she turns up soon.x.
-
I was going to ask who Hettie was, Teresa. Does she come back to you for food, is that how you know she hasn't seen her since Sunday? So sorry to hear this-i think a lot of people on here know how i feel about ferals :Luv2: :Luv2: Hoping she'll turn up soon. :hug: :hug: to you.
-
Come on home Hettie , your Mum is worried. :scared:
-
Hettie is home, she came with the rain.
Shirley she lives in our greenhouse and has done since June 1998, she even has a special blanket which her Aunty Pav got her. Our greenhouse is full of cat beds for ferals.
-
Yay!! :yayyy: :yayyy:
-
Yay!! :yayyy: :yayyy:
What Sue said. :)
-
Another Yay from me ;D :hug:
-
"Hettie is home, she came with the rain."
Fantastic news Teresa, so pleased for you and Hettie ;D ;D ;D :hug:

LOL Sounds like Cramar :Luv2: :Luv2:
(Still can't get the hang of this purple quote business :rofl: :rofl: )
-
A yay from me to x
-
Thats great news.x.
-
Am so glad Hettie is back - those special ferals do like to worry us don't they ;D
-
Oh Hettie, sweet pea you made my day for coming back :) :Luv:

Had another update on Christopher this afternoon, he is settling very well with his new sister and even playing pawsies with her.He has met his new vet and was no trouble at all, vet did detect a grade 1 heart murmur which worried me in view of his late sister Robyn, however new vet is fully aware of what happened to Robyn and says the same as my vet that we do not need to worry and that he will monitor Christopher carefully in order to detect any changes early. Christopher now has a new name Edgar.
All cats well so now that Hettie is home Paws Inn has returned to being a happy place again.
-
How is everyone doing at the Inn today ?, how are all the kittens ?, is Bojangles behaving herself ? :Luv2:
We need more pics, so Claire R if you are reading, get the camera out at the weekend :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So glad Lily let you party in peace and is doing well with her babies now. :hug: to all at the Inn and a (gentle) smacked botty to Hettie for worrying you.
-
I wonder how the new babies are ngetting along?

-
I just :Luv2: that Marigold

We had Andy our vet here today as we had too many to take to the vets. Daisy the beautiful tabby girl who came in with Lily from Bolton appears to be pregnant, I suspected it and vet says he is almost certain she is; however Bluebell shows no signs so she has been vaccinated today and is booked in for spay on monday along with Maisie and Pepsi. Pepsi`s 5 kittens Korky, BlackJack,Midnight, Blackberry and Bramble also had their first vaccinations as did Bossy Boots Peanut Pokey Paws ( told vet just to write Pansy on vac card for short ) :evillaugh: Lily had both vet and me in pleats she watched as each cat was brought to examination table and then started rattling her pen door as if to say "heh dont forget me, I want some". It was so lovely to have a vet visit and all cats fit and well.
Sadly 10 minutes after vet had left I had a call from a woman who had found a cat on the road, she said if I didnt take it she would put it back on the road because she was busy and she certainly wasnt paying for a vet. I took the little cat and had to rush her to the vet; I have seen many horrific sights in my years doing rescue but this little girl reduced me to tears:
Despite being shorthaired she was a mass of lugs having not been able to groom herself for many months, the most putrid stench came from her mouth and her poor little fragile body was so emaciated, unable to eat she had starved for so long. Andy examined her while I hoped against hope we could do something to help her, I called her Violet Forget Me Not and managed to give her a little kiss as Andy told me she was riddled with cancer and needed PTS. It is heartbreaking when PTS is the only kindness you can give. I held her and told her how very beautiful she was as she left this awful world.
I sincerely hope these pictures do not distress anyone.
-
Oh the poor little thing - at least the last words she heard were kind ones. :hug:
-
Aunty T for a fleeting moment this lovely little soul knew the touch of Aunty T and Paws Inn and became a someone not a noone and for that I am so greatful to you, passing to the Bridge with a name and she will be mourned here at the Clan when I say a prayer for all the lost souls and the ones who get the final dignity
T you are a very special lady and this is why you do what you do beaciuse above all else like us here at the Clan you truely do care :hug:
-
Poor Violet :( At least she was spared from any more suffering :hug:
-
So sad.x.
-
I just knew that my brain was totally unreliable, I forgot a very important update, Dell Boy has gone to the most wonderful home, we had an update the yesterday, he is eating well, using his tray and most importantly enjoying the good life relaxing on the settee :)
-
What great news for Del boy - another Paws Inn baby with loving new slaves ;D
-
That's wonderful news, another babe in a wonderful new forever home, thanks to Paws Inn ;D
Well done Teresa ;D
-
Poor Violet. At least she knew kindness from someone before she went to the Bridge. :RIP:
Good news about Del Boy though. And the kittens are lovely. :)
-
:'( Poor little Violet
RIP sweetheart, god bless xx
Good to hear Del Boy has found a lovely home
-
Poor Violet. :Luv2: :Luv2: After having such an awful life recently that woman threatened to put her back on the road!!! >:( >:( What is wrong with these people that they haven't got a bit of compassion for an animal in such desperate need???? >:( >:( Thank goodness she contacted the right person in you, Teresa! :hug: :hug: RIP little Violet :Luv2: :Luv2:
I found a poorly stray recently, very skinny, bony, disorientated and took him to my own vets. He needed lots of tests to find out what was wrong with him, which i couldn't afford, but the nurse contacted the RSPCA and they asked if i could take him home until the next morning. I had him in my spare bedroom, gave him lots of cuddles and he was collected as promised by a lovely Inspector. I'd advertised him in my local paper and his owner picked him up the next day-she told me he had liver cancer and was 14!!!! Two days later, she was knocking my door to tell me he had escaped again and would i keep a look out for him!! >:( She'd had him from a kitten but there wasn't one poster anywhere.... I went looking for him myself in dense bushes but never found him and, after a few days, the owner stopped answering my texts/emails... :(
Great news about Del Boy! :hug: :hug:
Kittens are just beautiful!! :Luv2: :Luv2: One of my mom's carers who lives near me, took in a stray a few weeks ago and she (the cat!) gave birth to 4 kittens on Sunday :Luv2: :Luv2: She's keeping the mom and one kitten and has homes for the other 3 already. Of course, they're all beautiful and not all as lucky as these or the one's that end up with you! Why don't people neuter???? It makes my blood boil !!!!! >:(
(This is the above mommy and her babies :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
I echo Liz's thoughts Teresa. :hug: You gave her compassion and a loving touch at the last. Bless you for that. :hug:
On a happier note, the babies are just beautiful, although I confess that I too have been smitten with the magical Marigold. Am still chuckling at "Bossy Boots Peanut Pokey Paws"...... AKA Pansy :rofl:
-
I am sorry to hear about Violet, but she had someone who cared at the end, and was allowed to go with dignity. RIP little one.
Gorgeous pics of the kittens, and really pleased to hear about Del Boy.
-
So sorry to hear about Violet, you did all you could and you gave her dignity :hug: :hug:
You will be pleased to know that Bossy Boots Peanut Pokey Pansy Paws is now going to be Pepper Pot !, I knew I would find the perfect name in the end :Luv2:
-
Shirley - omitted to mention that Tigger and her babies are adorable. ;D
-
Aren't they just, Sue!
-
You will be pleased to know that Bossy Boots Peanut Pokey Pansy Paws is now going to be Pepper Pot !, I knew I would find the perfect name in the end :Luv2:
;D that's what we call our Pepper - Pepper Pot, well.....1 of th names - we have many!! :rofl:
-
It seems Darth Vader has booked himself into the Inn and stolen Hetties posh green blanket too, seems these feral recognise quality when they see it, Darth Vader was on the brink of death with an injured leg when I first encountered him 2 winter ago,he had at that time taken himself upstairs in Barneys Bunker and was suffering from horrendous cat flu, I gave him a dish of food heavily laced with antibiotics and Bisolvin, he ate the lot then hobbled off, I hadnt realised his leg was injured when I fed him, anyway he has been feeding here ever since, he is totally feral but I must admit I have a soft spot for him especially as he has gone from a skinny cat to a big chunky one.
A few more terrible pics.
-
Love that top piccie Teresa. Very des res. Darth knows which side his paws are buttered. :) And of course the lovely Bluebell and Delightful Pansy.
-
RIP Sweet Violet. :'( :'(
I hope gorgeous Hettie dont mind D Voder taking over her green blanket, cos her new PINK blanket should be with her by Monday and Millie agreed to throw one of her stinkies( From the shop) for her :evillaugh: ;) X
Teresa Thankx for helping little Violet. :hug: :hug:
-
Poor Violet. Thankfully her last moments were ones of pure love from you Teresa. Thank you for doing that for her.
It looks like all your residents are thriving on your love and kindness. If only poor Violet had made it to you sooner. You still might not have been able to save her but she would have got the best chance there could be, of that I am sure.
Bluebell is such a stunningly beautiful kitty and her wee Pansy is sure to grow into a stunner too.
Lily's bambinos look like they are very contented. The little black one with white toes reminds me of Emily (RIP) when she was that small, she used to like sleeping all bundled up with just toes peaking out.
The Greenhouse Dez Rez looks like it is missing only 2 things to me... a swimming pool and palm trees. It looks like a 5 star feral cat holiday home. No wonder Darth has moved in and put his beach towel on the best sun lounger. If I were him, I would of too!! :rofl:
-
It is a lovely sunny day at the Inn today and to celebrate the sunshine Lily's kittens have opened their eyes to have a look!!!
We have been on serious cuddling duty (jealous or what!!) and thought you might like to see some pictures of some of the residents.
Enjoy.
Cxx

And more.....
-
And now Lily and her babies....
-
They are all soooo gorgeous!
-
And more....
-
Last one....how cute is this!!!

:blow kiss:
I'm going to have to go for a little lie down after looking at those beauties :Luv2: That last pic of Marigold is just too cute :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
I wonder what she could be dreaming of...
-
What a gorgeous bunch. :) And that's definitely what Marigold's thinking, Helen. ;)
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: Sweetpea :Luv2: :Luv2:
Am very jealous of cuddling duties :Luv:
-
I wonder what she could be dreaming of...
How on earth do I quote a picture, exept to say Aunty T wishes that Marigold could become little sister to Lu and Riley.
-

I honestly couldn't think of anything I'd like more but I'd be so worried about Lu, he's such a sensitive little soul and I'd hate for him to feel frightened or worried in his own home :(
She is aboslutely stunning though, she even has the pink nose that I need to complete the set :Luv2:
-
I shouldn't be looking at this thread because I'm in France and its costing me an arm and a leg to download so many pics but its its oh sooooooo worth it. Still :Luv2: Marigold but Lewis is giving her strong competition and the picture of the two of them together is just brilliant. Glad to see Korky and litter mates are thriving.

Apologies ladies, I think Paddy has forgotten his manners this morning. Marigold is very sweet. In fact she sleeps like a little cherub. And has the most adorable pink nose - not unlike Paddy's :Luv:

Gorgeous cats, I do love the pics of Blackberry.

Beautiful babies :Luv2: :Luv2:

Wear old clothes because you will be forced to sit on the floor while kittens run over you :rofl: I went down to summerhouse yesterday and ClaireR was lying on the Pen floor cuddling kittens, I swear she was asleep.
-
Ooooo I want kitten cuddles, I will be bringing my cat napping basket and partner in crime (Kirst you best bring a basket too :rofl:)
-
Awwww what gorgeous little kittens!! :Luv:
I love that Darth Vader visiting the inn. :rofl:
-
Oh my I think the Scottish Air would be so good for Aunty T so the Paws Inn babies can relocate nearer the Clan - I am so jealous they are all so :Luv2:

Pepsi, Maisie and Bluebell have all been spayed and microchipped today and are currently being collected from vet by OH; Pepsi and Maisie are fine but vet has told me that poor Bluebell has taken it hard and struggling to wake up.
All other cats and kittens fine and baby Pansy Bossy Boots has taken charge of all the summerhouse kittens.
-
Awww poor Bluebell :( Hope she'll soon feel well again and Pepsi and Maisie are fine :Luv2: :Luv2:
Lol at Pansy :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
I have just caught up and am sorry to hear that Violet came into your care so late, Teresa. At least you were able to end her awful suffering.
Lots of happy little faces there, by the looks of it: I hope that Bluebell wakes up properly in time to have a nice restoring supper this afternoon.
-
rip poor violet
daisymac please bring sweetpea back for me when you visit aunty t!!
-
How's the lovely Bluebell this morning, Teresa?
(And no, am not even gonna sneek a peek at Marvellous Marigold. :doh: See? My eyes are tight shut!)
-
Hope Bluebell is feeling much better today
-
Oh... I hope Bluebell is ok. :hug:
-
I hope Bluebell is fine this morning :hug:
-
I hope Bluebell is fine this morning :hug:
me too xx
-
Great news Pepsi and Maisie are doing well. Really hope Bluebell is OK this morning. :scared:
-
And me! :Luv2:
-
Bluebell is fine today, sorry for late update been really busy trying to Pen juggle to squeeze in yet another one as well as seeing human vet for a variety of tests.
-
Great news! Hope you're ok :hug:
-
Thanks for the update T, and hope your visit to the human vet went well today :hug:
-
Glad Bluebell is OK, hope you got on OK with the Doctor xx
Who is the new resident ?
-
Today has been a very emotional one, our latest little arrival is a 12 week old girl who is badly affected by cerebral hypoplasia. Coming so soon after Minimopsicals death it has been quite a shock to the system so I will tell her story when I feel less tearful.
-
This as far as I am concerned is why the world is round, the full circle of life and this little baby has found you T and she will now be safe :hug: :hug: :hug:
She is absolutely lovely, so pretty, just shown her picture to Steve who is all ohhhs and ahhhs, check my handbag when I leave Paws x
-
She looks angelic :Luv2: I too think it's fate that she found her way to Paws Inn :hug:
-
I hope you feel that darling Minip had a paw or 4 in bringing another special girl for her Mummy our Aunty T to love :hug:
I now have to figure out how to transport Paws Inn to Scotland - I have a nice Paddock waiting just got to figure out how to get you and the house and paws Inn here :shocked:
-
What a lovely girl. And I agree, this little one found her way to you for a reason. :)
-
She is so cute, and she is obviously with you because of all your experience.
-
I think that darling Minimopsical might have had something to do with this from the Bridge ;) :Luv2: :hug:
Everything happens for a reason hun, same way as another FIV came into Woking just after I'd lost Max, they seek out those who are best placed to help and care for them :hug: :hug:
-
Daisymac never mind your handbag I`ll give you a cat carrier.
Liz I really love Scotland but Paws Inn loves Cheshire :hug:
I havent named her yet as Earieme (eerie me ) is all I can think of :rofl: I have no doubt that she was guided here. Been putting her through her paces this morning and watching how she copes very carefully, she is already stretching her back legs out for balance and when she plays football her front paws seem to miss the catch and she seems suprised when back leg hits ball instead.She is fascinated with the dyson but not so keen on her toys, very early days yet. Going to be tough on her like we were with Minimopsical and encourage her to do as much as possible for herself and hopefully one day we will be ab;le to pop her into someones cat carrier.
All the other inmates are fine, have a new helper joining us on Saturday so hopefully will be able to set Claire to work with the camera so that Aunty suepoo can keep her eyes closed :rofl: and Aunty dawn can drool over Sweetpea.
Incidentally new helper is Julie who adopted Bill and Ted who older members will remember from Catchat Merseyferals about 4 years ago, so will be nice to hear all about them.
-
oops put duplicate pic in
-
She is SO cute :Luv2: :Luv2: What is cerebal hypoplasia, tho? :hug:
-
I am in Love :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:blow kiss:
Good news about the new helper ;D
Can I put a request in with Claire for lots of pics of Marigold when she gets her camera out please :wish: I've been racking my brains of a way to see if Lu would feel threatened by a new relative but I guess the only way to find out would be after the event :(
-
Shirley C.H. is an absence of the cells in the brain which control movement and balance, it is caused whilst in womb often as a result of mum cat being exposed to panleukopenia whilst pregnant. Cerebral Palsy is the human equivalent. Our sweet Minimopsical was born that way and had almost 6 wonderful years with us.
Helen I will ask Claire to take lots of Marigold esp for you :hug: Sometimes you need to look for the positives in life and far from Lu being threatened he could gain an ally for when Riley pounces from dark corners :hug:
-
I wish I shared your optimism Teresa, he is such a sensitive soul and so easily gets freaked out / frightened (complete opposite to Riley!). He and Riley love each other and I know he's definitely not frightened of him, my fear would be that a new cat might pick on him when they were older/bigger and that the very place where he should feel safe and secure is where he was frightened and threatened :(
I keep coming back to this thread and looking at her pics though, she is absolutely stunning and I would be honoured to give her a home if deemed suitable. I'm just not sure I can take the risk :shy:
-
Please take loads of pics of them all for me, I still have to work out who to cat nap :rofl: :rofl:
-
Thanks for that Teresa-i wont ask what panleukopenia is-i'll google it! :-: Will she stay with you? Such a shame for the little sweetheart but it seems Mini had a wonderful life with you :hug: :hug:
-
Helen :hug: :hug: I will joke about with you,I will tempt you all I can but I wont ever push a kitten onto you despite the fact that I deemed you one of the most wonderful homes in the world when you set up Tiggys lovely blue tent. :hug:
Daisymac with you its a case of how many :rofl: dont forget when you come Steve will be pre occupied with the football :rofl:
Shirley its feline infectious enteritis. I am hoping that this little one can be rehomed as in truth I am not a good candidate to home a kitten :rofl: I will assess very careful and keep her here for as long as.
-

Ooo yes didnt think of the football thing, I could take 10 more babies into the house and he wouldnt notice if England were playing :rofl:
I am excited about choosing, or rather a kitten choosing me :hug:
-
I am panicking that I won't be able to leave empty handed! :evillaugh:
-
Helen :hug: :hug: I will joke about with you,I will tempt you all I can but I wont ever push a kitten onto you despite the fact that I deemed you one of the most wonderful homes in the world when you set up Tiggys lovely blue tent. :hug:
:shy: I still have that pic as my screen saver, she did love her tent :)
I don't smoke anymore but I remember that feeling inside when you really wanted one but you couldn't have one. I've got that ache in me now and am feeling quite teary as I would honestly love nothing more than to give her a fantastic life here with me and the boys but I'm torn as I'm so worried how it might affect Lu :shy:
-
Awww Teresa, i wish you luck with her :hug: :hug:
-
what a lovely newbie T, she looks like my Star must have looked as a baby - yes more pics of sweetpea please :Luv2:
-
Aunty T our new HP little poppet could have a home here - my OH is away that much not sure he would notice a newbie she is just so :Luv2: Wehave had most things here at the Clan and have the floors that are easily cleaned and she would have lots of brothers to play with - the girls would play but only when we aren't weatching - they are ladies you know not the hooligans we know and love them to be ;D
Can we Paws Inns northern branch if you won't move to Sunny Scotland ;)

You are so lovely Liz cant you adopt me instead ? :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I am panicking that I won't be able to leave empty handed! :evillaugh:
make sure you pack a cat basket :naughty:
-
:Luv: :Luv: isn't she just gorgeous bless her!
-
Daisymac adoption can be arranged for a suitable fee!!!
Just to add if folks think feeding 10 tins of wet food, 3kgs of biccies, 22 grit boxes at least 4 times a day, playing ball with the Clan doggies Sly and Sunny for a t least 2 hours ad day and working full time and OH away for 14 to 14 days at a time then adoption maybe considered if you could cope with the chores - the job is my rest phase!!!! :rofl:
-
Aw, Eerieme's lovely, bless her. :Luv: ;D I agree with the others - Minimop's definitely got a paw in this. :Luv2:
And okay - I confess I have sneeked another peek at the delightful Marigold. :evillaugh:
Liz, I think I might be persuaded to make the move north to you. Chores no problem. :evillaugh:
-
Teresa, little miss NoNameWobblePants is utterly gorgeous! :Luv2: :Luv2: I hope she grows stronger and a little more steady under your loving care. I agree with your technique of making her try to do as much as she can herself. It's might seem harsh to some, but it is the only way she will learn ways around her problems and find her own limitations so that she can live as good a life as possible.
-
Forgot to add the outside mob to the regeime here at the Clan
We would of course vet all prosepctive incommers :rofl:
-
All I can say is it's a good job I'm so far away as Hobbes is still on the look out for a new brother or sister- Marigold yum and Sweetpea yum :Luv2: :rofl:
-
Today has been hectic and rather emotive; had a visitor who had Suzy an older cat from me some years ago come to tell me she has sadly been PTS; while I was busy trying to offer words of comfort the phone rang and it was news that Christopher was coming back to the Inn;poor boy has been totally stressed out by a "marauding visiting entire tom " woman kindly removed litter tray against all advice given once Christopher started going out and basically this tom terrified poor Christopher to the extent he was afraid to go out so he now needs toilet training again. Anyway Christopher is back in his old Pen and purring for England.
Worming day for the older kittens and trying to tell Pepsi`s 5 apart is an absolute nightmare but job done.
The tiny kittens are thriving and getting more beautiful by the day, they will soon start trying to leave the nest and explore.
Have got lots of pics of kittens for rehoming on my Catchat pages yet today I have received an email asking if I will be looking for homes for Daisys kittens after they are born !!!!!!! I can only presume the ones we have pictured on the site are not pretty enough , when I have the inclination I will reply and say all rehomed.
Still not named little C.H. girl think I may be having difficulty because I wasnt really ready for another special case, but then again maybe I just needed a kick.
Bit of human interest , I have 3 Grandsons with daughter expecting her 4th Son in September, youngest son and partner found out the sex of their 1st child today another boy due in October; I am delighted.
-
Poor Christopher :( At least he is back where he is guaranteed the love and care he deserves :hug: Sorry to hear about Suzy too :hug:
I wonder whether your kitten emailer won't be ready to adopt for a while yet and so the little ones that are already born will be ready to soon for them? I know when I lost Tiggy I was emailing rescues to see if they had any suitable candidates even though I knew I wouldn't be ready to home them for several weeks due to a 3 week holiday in the middle.
:1st place: on your human news too :)
-
Sounds like you have your hands full at the inn T congrats on another grandson we found out on monday we r having a girl x
-
Glad to hear about your grandchildren-to-be, we found out ours (due early Sep) is a little boy :)
Big hugs to all the kitties xx
-
Aw, Teresa. :hug: :hug: A bit of a roller-coaster day.
Poor Christopher, but I'm glad that he's back with you, where he's safe and less likely to stay stressed.
I reckon you have to consider yourself well and truly "kicked" Teresa. :evillaugh: :hug: And lovely news about your soon-to-be-here Grandson. :)
-
Congrats on the grandson news Auntie T - you nearly have a football team there for the five aside!
Christopher is back where he needs to be so he can get some Paws Inn special care and get a really lovely owner who will heed advice give!
Hope all the babies are doing well aand that Aunty T and our new special girlie are doing well to :hug:
-

Oh Aunty T I now feel like I have am having kitten overload - I got to cuddle up with 4 lovely kittens today aged about 6 weeks - they are going to a special fosterer tomorrrow at my old branch of Cp and and were all black and white and purry and hissy at the same time :Luv2:
-
Just a few of the many pics Claire took earlier today.
Now that the babies are trying to walk round we have discovered that Morse seems to have a deformed leg, so trip to vet on Monday, he is not in any discomfort.
Claire has named new CH kitten Twinkle, we are concerned about her eyesight in one eye so will have her checked out too.
Maisie will be going to her new home tomorrow.
-
Gorgeous, gorgeous!!! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Hope Morse and Twinkle (lovely name!) wil be ok :Luv2: :Luv2:
Great news about Maisie :hug: :hug:
-
What beautiful pics ;D
Great news about Maisie ;D

Lovely photos, they are all gorgeous, but Lewis is great, love his little white feet. :Luv:
Nicky

I love the little strip on Lewis's head :Luv:
Twinkle is a lovely name, is it her left eye, as it looks it bit different in the pic? Hope all is OK, and also with Morse's leg :Luv2:
-
Well, a set of piccies to bring a big grin to my face this morning ;D So pleased Maisie's going to her new home today.
Keeping fingers crossed for Morse, bless his heart.
sending little wiggley fingers for Sweetpea, Morse, Marigold and Lewis. :Luv:
-
Hope all goes well for Morse and Twinkle and best of luck to little Maisie xx

Good luck for the vet visit and glad that another one is going to a wonderful home

Hi,
Just been catching up on all things Paws...I often drop by this thread but end up in tears when I read about the sad cases that Teresa and others deal with and end up going for the tissues rather than posting a reply :(
I'm really sorry to hear about poor Christopher, especially as he looked to be going to a loving home. Poor boy.
Scamp (formerly Chico, son/daughter of Pepsi) is absolutley fine but seems to have turned from a kitten into a sleeky gorgeous cat overnight. There's definately a bit of 'foreign' in him/her (see other post for explanation re sex!) and he/she's got a beautiful exotic look and is longer in length already to that of my other black moggy Scruff. Scamp will be six months later on in June and will obviously be going for a trip for the little operation very soon.
I'll post some more pics soon but am currently on the sofa under a blanket and being sat on by two cats and I'm far to lazy to go and switch the PC on which is where the pictures are saved!
Hope everyone's having a good Sunday,
S.
-
Well I am slowly stumbling across more and more now I am back on Purrs and am so happy to have come across this little thread...dedicated to the wonderful Teresa and all the wonderful work she does with her wonderful furbabes :Luv:
I have only gone back through the thread a little bit...EMOTIONAL is all I can say!!
Bless Minimopsical for sending you a little present inTwinkljavascript:void(0);e :Luv:...Mini knew Twinks would be in the right place :Luv:
Looks like you are inundated with kittens as usual every year...I wish I could come up and help you T...feel like my donation is nothing :(
Now that I am back on Purrs I do feel a little helpless and really wish I could do more but no one is local to me (obviously I'm doing my Petsearch stuff and have donated some stuff to my local CP and all the money from the dog training classes I go to with Esco does go to the dog rescue...I guess its cos I'm not hands on)
Anyway...T you are my hero and I'm so glad I can keep up with you here and of course see all those wonderful furbabies xxxx

Been to see the vet this morning and he said I look better than he`s ever seen me, had to remind him he was supposed to be checking 3 cats :rofl:
First was Morse and the deformed/injured leg, I laughed as Dave said leg fine and whatever had caused the severe bend has righted itself, so worrys over.
Next was Twinkle, Dave is concerned over her and agrees probably Cerebral Hypoplasia but says these symptoms can also be a result meningitis type infection so he has given 2 week antibiotic and Lysine to see if there is any improvement before he confirms C.H. Good job she is isolated.
Next on table was Pepsi who had been sick overnight and refused breakfast, decided to take her to be safe just incase of infection after spaying; no temperature or sign of infection so injection to settled things down and hopefully she will soon be back to normal.
Bluebell went to her new home yesterday afternoon.
Maisie went to her new home yesterday evening.
Pepsi has been reserved, home checks completed and she will go to her new home on 25th June.
All other inmates beautiful, happy and well.
-

That has made my day :)

...and the icing on the cake ;D
-
All pretty good news. Hope the treatment given to Twinkle helps her. Great to hear Pepsi has a home lined up and I know that if it's through Paws Inn it'll be a five star abode. :)
-
Lovely update, Teresa :hug: Hope the abs help Twinkle! :Luv2: :Luv2: Glad to hear you're looking well, also! :hug:
-
Very good news all round Teresa ;D :hug: :hug: keeping fingers crossed for Twinkle, in particular.
Bluebell has a new home! :yayyy: Maisie has a new home :cheer: Pepsi will have a new home very soon.... :dance:
-
So your vet does humans to - perhaps this is where you went wrong :rofl: ;)
So glad that all went well and perhaps Miss Twinkle will prove us all wrong - she is just so :Luv2:
So glad on the homing front good news to
How is darling little Christopher - bet he is glad to be back with Aunty T and his litter tray :hug:
-
That's a wonderful update T, made my day ;D :hug:

Glad to hear another good update
-

Too right. They don't put the thermometers in the same place either!
Glad to hear all is well at the inn. :Luv:
-
Oh Auntie T how is you all at the Inn - has our second little girl shown signs of having her baby and how is dear Christopher and the Ninja's and of course our darling little star Miss twinkle :Luv2:
-
Korky and Bramble gone to their new home today.
Its Saturday and Claire has kindly taking pics so
First lot
-
As you can see Twinkles weight and condition have improved but still brain problems.
Marigold looks less angelic now she is on the move.
-
Sweetpea so beautiful
But Morse and Lewis are stars
-
Lewis is thinking of becoming a poser when he grows up. Amazing what a difference a week makes.
All are well and happy and as usual we are working hard with our rescues and coping with a feral colony too.
Liz, in answer to your question Daisy hasnt produced yet and we do have some concerns about her despite her appearing happy and well, prefer not to post anything yet, she is as you know in excellent hands. :hug:
-
Lovely pics, they all look so happy and healthy.
Love little Lewis :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Lovely pics as always and Twinkle is sooo beautiful, I do hope she continues to improve. I have to admit that I've changed my allegiance from Marigold to Lewis and Morse. :Luv2:
Such a shame that Christopher's new home didn't work out but glad that he's happy to be back at the Inn.
So, Korky and Bramble have forever homes. Do you know if they'll be keeping their names?
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: all of them!!! Can't wait to see them all on Saturday!! ;D
-

Carol you will be delighted to know that they will both keep their names so your Korky`s namesake will remain a Korky, though ladies 4year old son kept getting mixed up and thinking he was Porky, anyhow a few explanations of kicking K and Korky is Korky :rofl:
-
Aherm. Afraid that Marigold's tail says it all - "I is norty - I is luvverly - I is reddy - is yoo?" :evillaugh: She still has my heart :Luv:
-

If young Korky is anything like his namesake then the son has got it about right. :rofl: In fact I can't believe we never made the connection.
Forgot to mention in my previous post I hope Daisy is OK. :hug:
-
sweetpea :Luv2:
-
Some of our ferals
-
Just testing
My Tulas new bed
Olly
-
Just gorgeous, Teresa-i love ferals! :Luv2: :Luv2: Do they let you fuss them? Mind you, i'll find out for myself on Saturday! :yesss:
-
First pic still testing Tulas new bed.
Pics 2 and 3 Olly testing hois new bed
Last pic Tula roughing it under busters bench.
Vet coming here tomorrow to do 2nd half vaccinations and check up on others. All inmates very happy and looking forward to their visitors on Saturday.
Shirley you will indeed find out for yourself :rofl:
-
Olly and Tula are BEAUTIFUL! :Luv2: Hope they won't be camera-shy on Sat-i've got the batteries charging! :rofl:
-
Olly's looking splendid in his Tula's new bed! :evillaugh:
-
I bought 2 identical beds one each for Olly and Tula who so often get overlooked, I pointed to Ollys bed and said this is for you and then pointed at the other bed and told Olly that was for Tula, bless him he spent ages in Tulas before popping into his own to fall fast asleep.
Normally Olly does not take a good picture so I am pleased with todays.
Shirley I am hoping you will take loads of pics, but I`m guessing that the real posers will be the teeny ones.
-
I don't mind who's picture i get-they're all beautiful! :rofl:
-
Lovely photos as always :Luv2:
I love ferals :Luv2:
your garden looks lovely too T :)
-
If I can't have a new kitty I shall take LOADS of Photos!!!!!! :wow: :wow: :wow:
-
Shirley hope you have a wonderful visit and on taking photo's remember to mark where everyone is to aid in the handbag napping mission :innocent:
-
LOL Liz, i will! :rofl: Really looking forward to it-just not the driving! My friend can't come after all ( >:() and she was driving...........Never mind, i'll get the satnav going, should be fun! :rofl:

No dates yet as |I have the logistical planning for the Clan Cats and the dogs borstal accom to sort and of course start arranging bribes for the pet sitter :evillaugh:
-
Don't know how you manage to find someone to look after your lot! :evillaugh: I had the chance of a free, 5 day holiday this year but had to turn it down cos of my TWO!! :rofl:
-

Of course I will Paddy, I will give Aunty T and big Snoozle for you, Sue I will pass on the big hug, have a lovely holiday :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Unkle Paddyyy Aunty T is so pleased to be getting a big snoozle from you, have just been stuck on Pen floor like an idiot yet again struggling to get up. Pepsi has just left for her new home and I went out to bag her up armed with a stronghold as she was due one soon, well stronghold done and Pepsi decided enough as I fell over trying to put her in carrier, it was all made worse by Pepsis new owner seeing my plight so very embarassing, anyway I eventually pulled myself up and got Pepsi in her carrier, good job I am always happy.
Andy vet came yesterday and did all the second half vaccinations, he checked over the tiny kittens and Lily and was delighted with their progress. He has confirmed that Twinkle is cerebral hypoplasia and he too swears Minimopsical had a paw in kitten finding her way here. Daisy had a very thorough examination and her pregnancy is progressing fine.
Olly thought he had found another new bed this morning, so wish the camera had been handy, I had been putting laundry away in bedroom and Olly knocked circular basket on its side and lay in it ontop of OH clean socks and handkerchiefs, as he moved the whole basket began rolling along the floor, poor lad shot out at great speed and think I can safely say he wont use that basket again.
Suepoo have a wonderful holiday you deserve it :hug: dont read other thread anymore so am way behind with everything.Please give Padster a special :hug: from me.
Looking forward to seeing the Catnappers tomorrow, have a safe journey everyone and make sure your bags are big enough for me to hide an extra kitty in then I could go on a world cruise, ok I can dream a little :rofl:
-
I think :drool; says it all ;D
Paws Inn really is a feline paradise :Luv2:
-
Sorry about your fall, Teresa, hope you're ok! :hug: Also sorry i've just missed the famous Pepsi, but glad she's got a home! :Luv2: As you can see, it's VERY early, but woke at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep! See you between 8-9am, if i don't get lost and if the petrol station's open-i'm running on fumes! :rofl:
-
Just wanted to say hope you all have a fab day and Teresa - don't forget yuo got a snoozle anna big hug coming - Daisymac has promised to deliver them, and I know she will :Luv:
-
Thanks Sue! Have a great holiday-going anywhere nice?
Grrr! So much for my early start-just been to fill up at Morrisons and discovered petrol station doeasn't open till 7am on Sat, 6am in the week!!! :doh:
-
Had a lovely day with Teresa and Rob, a lovely couple! :Luv2: Kirst and Daisymac arrived later and T put on a smashing lunch, even tho i'd taken my own!
Thanks for letting me come up T, i really enjoyed it! :hug: :hug: (Apart from the motoway being at a standstill for half an hour in this heat on the way back! :rofl:)
Did you have Pansy in the end, Daisymac? Nice to meet you and Kirst, too! :hug:
Photos tomorrow, tho not very good i'm afraid! The ones of Twinkle haven't come out at all cos she kept moving! ;D

I am just back, had such a lovely day, one of the best days I can remember for a long time. T has pictures of my new kitten, you will never guess which one I picked :shocked: I have a load of photos to post, but will try and do it tomorrow as I am a bit tired to get the leads/camera etc and start reszing.
Lovely to meet you Shirley and so good to spend some time at the Inn, thanks to all of you for such a lovely day :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I had a lovely day - and managed to come back empty hamded.............................. T wouldn't let me have the kitty I have fallen for! ;) ;) :evillaugh:
-
I can't believe all three of you have the cheek to tell us how wonderful it was and how lovely all the cats were and not supply us with a single photo between the lot of you! :naughty:
:waiting:
-
I normally take my photos on my phone and I can upload them easy, this time I took my 'real' camera and I am having a bit of a problem getting them on the Poota ! :scared:
-
We need names, photo's and all the specs for the bagnapping mission ;D I am now very jelous but hope that now that I have figured out where Paws Inn is and the baby sitter has plans to come for a holiday about Spetember that Auntie Y can fit us in for a visit -I just have to figure out how to convince OH and Aunty T that we need a Paws Inn baby or 2 here at the Clan and how to get said baby and any others that fall in the handbag :sneaky: back to Scotland!!! ;)
So who got who and where's the photo's we need to see them now ;D
-
I forgot the camera , sorry! :-[ :-[
-
Well I have a baby from Paws !, I cant have him yet as he is not old enough, but I did go to Paws with two instructions from Steve, dont get a long haired cat and dont get another boy ! so anyway, I took notice of him as always, and here is Kenny the Kitten !!! (aka as Lewis) photo stolen from T until I can get this :censored: camera working :hug:
-
So glad you listent o your OH like I do!
Kenny the kitten is gorgeous and will be going from one fab place to another ;D
-
This is taking ages with photos, I have to resize, so here are a few for tonight, I have more though
Hope this works
-
That's enough to keep me going :Luv2: :thanks:
I had a feeling it might be little Lewis, I scrolled back to see who had caught your eye ;D He is a little cutie alright :Luv2: Will his name be 'just' Kenny or will he have the added extras like his brothers and sisters?!
-
That's enough to keep me going :Luv2: :thanks:
I had a feeling it might be little Lewis, I scrolled back to see who had caught your eye ;D He is a little cutie alright :Luv2: Will his name be 'just' Kenny or will he have the added extras like his brothers and sisters?!
He will just be Kenny the Kitten, or 'Look at that Kenny Dalglish Bum' for short x
-
OMG i can't believe you didn't have Pansy!!! :shocked: She SO wanted you!! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Lewis aka Kenny is a little sweetheart though! :Luv2:
Your photos have put mine to shame!! :-[
-
More later but this one shows the pure joy of a new mum cradling her baby for the first time.
-
AWww thats a lovely photo! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
I`m not really sure how to mark yesterdays catnappers other than failed as all left empty handed :rofl: :rofl: however as friends they all scored full marks and yesterday was a lovely day spent chatting, laughing and relaxing with the cats; infact it was so good we are already planning the next one.
Claire Daisymac was put to work on the telephone and introducing Pansy to a lovely family who have adopted her this morning so Well Done Claire you are now officially one of our Rehoming officers and Pansy sends you a big thankyou for showing her best side to her new family :hug:
Claire spent lots of time choosing her new baby Lewis ok Kenny and the picture of sheer joy on her face as she cuddled him is wonderful.
Kirsty did her utmost not to fall for Twinkle and had great fun cuddling Lily.
First batch of pics
-
Next lot
-
and more
-
Lovely pics, I really has such a lovely day, I cant wait to come again, maybe we should make it a two monthly thing, so glad Pansy has got a new home, broke my heart yesterday telling her I was taking Kenny.
T you and Rob are so wonderful xxx
-
Twinkle is so adorable. :) All the cats are lovely and it looks like everyone had a lot of fun; Kirsty has some pretty amusing expressions in some of these photos. (No offence, Kirsty!)
-
I am head over heels in love with Twinkle - but I am no the right caty mummy for her si I will have to settle for being an honorary mummy! :shy:
As you can see I was very taken with Lily too! :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
Glad you all had a lovely day and the pics are great. I bet Twinkle is a real charmer- she's so beautiful. :Luv2:
Glad you're having Lewis Daisymac. I've already fallen for him and this way I'll get to see pics of him growing up wont I. ;D
-
Am currently pacing up and down like an expectant father on a maternity ward, Daisy our little tabby is ready to give birth, trouble is she is only having one kitten and it may prove too big for her to push through, she is showing all signs of labour apart from contractions and has been losing small amount of blood since 12noon, Andy vet has told me to give her till 3 then rush her in if nothing has happened,its going to be a long afternoon, incidentally last check revealed Daisy nibbling some biscuits :rofl:
-
Come on Daisy , you can do it!!!! :Luv2:
-
Bless her. One really big kitten, does that happen often? Hope she manages to give birth naturally without too much stress to her system.
-
Hope she's ok T, she's such a sweet girl :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
sorry I missed it daisymac stick sweetpea in your pocket for me when you go back :hug:
-
Daisy is having an emergency caesarian this evening
-
Oh No - sending loads of vibes for her - poor little thing. :'(
-
Fingers crossed everything goes OK for her and her little one :hug:
-
Poor Daisy. Hoping the caesarian goes well and she's recovered in no time; also sending vibes for the little one.
-
Daisy had caesarian 1 live baby born at 6.55 this evening, Andy found 2 mummified babies inside her. I am going to vets to bring her home in 10 minutes.
-
Oh, how sad. :( Hope Daisy and her surviving little one are OK. :catlove2:
-
:( RIP little ones xx
Hope Daisy and her surviving baby go from strength to strength :hug:
-
So sorry to hear this Teresa :'( Hope Daisy and her baby will recover well :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: :hug: to you.
RIP little ones :(
-
So sorry about the two other babies - you did say you thought there was more than one in there. Get well soon Daisy , and Daisies baby. :hug:
-
Sending lots of love to Daisy and her kitten :hug: to you too Teresa
-
Normally tucked up in my bed at this time but things not gone well with Daisy, she is still not awake properly and falling over each time she gets up; after over 2 hours of trying to milk her and trying to get baby to suckle I had to admit defeat; baby will climb on her but not suckle, have even put vital milk on her teats as a tempter, anyway baby is with me for bottlefeeding until mum is more awake, poor girl doesnt know whats hit her and totally ignores baby at moment if I leave them together I will find a crushed kitten before long. Hopefully she will accept him when she is properly awake. Kitten is feeding well from the bottle.
We knew Daisy was having problems and only expected one kitten,thank goodness I was extra vigilant today.
Anyway on Saturday during the Purrs peeps visit we were discussing Daisy and her kitten to be and named him then, thank goodness he is a he.
Introducing Daisy and her son Mac think you all know who they are named after :rofl:
-
Poor Daisy, at least she has the best Auntie in the world to look after her baby for a bit :hug:
I love the name Mac and have just seen his pic, what a stripy little tiger :Luv2:
-
Awwww Mac is a little beauty :Luv2: :Luv2: Poor Daisy (and poor YOU, Teresa!) Hope things are better this morning and Daisy accepts her baby-you must be exhausted! :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Aww, fingers crossed she accepts him today, must have been such an awful day for her yesterday.
-
Such a wonderful sight as Daisy was reunited with her son Mac at 7am, she did a huge purring dance whilst licking him at the same time; have just been back to check up on them and Daisy is half sitting with leg up as Mac appears to be suckling; want to leave them undisturbed for as long as possible before I pick kitten up to check he is indeed getting food.Got everything crossed for them as mothers milk is always best.
-
REally pleased to hear this Teresa
-
Fantastic news! :wow:
-
Awww so cute, I am really honoured to have him named after me, Daisy is such a lovely girl, I cant wait to meet Mac at the next Paws meet up next month xxxx
-
Fingers crossed Daisy and Mac go from strength to strength now :hug: :Luv2:
-
Wonderful news! Fingers crossed Daisy will continue to be a good mommy! :Luv2:
-
Excellent news, that both Mumcat and baby are doing well. Bet you're exhausted, Teresa.
-
Just checked up and Mac is warm and has a full tummy not suprising when he has his own private milk bar, Daisy insisted on checking my hands were empty as I closed the Pen door, so a protective mum, hopefully all will now be well.
Daisy was also spayed and microchipped yesterday so wont have to face the knife again.
-
So pleased that Daisy looks like being a good mum and just :Luv2: Mac.
Hope you're getting some well earned rest today T :hug:
-
Don't these cats bounce back well-a Caesarian and been spayed and she's being a great mommy! :Luv2: :Luv2: It would take us a month to get over that :evillaugh: So pleased to hear all is now well. Hope you're ok Teresa and having a rest in that lovely garden of yours! :hug: :hug:
-
What wonderful pics of Daisy and mac - nice Scottish ring to it - he could be a mac paws at the Clan!!! :Luv2:
-

-
Daisy and Baby Mac are doing really well, Daisy is now a very proud and attentive mum and Mac will be a fatty if we arent careful. Will try and get some pics tomorrow.
-

-
No fat just big boned ;D - thats Oscar, Shadow, and Wispa from the clan all big 6kg plus and then some boys :hug: :hug: :rofl:

Great news that Daisy and Mac are doing well :Luv2:
Really like Tula and Olly's new beds - meant to ask before T - did you get them locally or on-line ?
-
Only just catching up with this :)
I love the photo of little Mac stretched across his mum :Luv2:

A part of me wants to call him Mac 'n Cheese :evillaugh:

CHICO (SCAMP) UPDATE!!!
Hiya all,
Chico/Scamp's mother here...just thought I'd share the most recent snaps with you all...
In this hot weather what's the best place to chill if you have a big furry black coat? In the bathroom sink of course! I found him a couple of days ago lolling around in the (empty) basin and luckily had my camera to hand. He seems to be obsessed with sinks - both kitchen and bathroom - if there's a tap dripping then he'll happily sit for hours pawing at it. Bless :Luv:
Scamp also seems to LOVE playing fetch which is something I've not experienced before as a cat owner. Brilliant fun but as I'm self employed I'm not getting much work done as I'd rather play catch all day heheheh.
Hope all's well at the Inn,
S
x
-
he looks fantastic!
-
Gorgeous. :Luv: I thought it had been discovered Scamp was a girl though, am I wrong?
-
Gorgeous. :Luv: I thought it had been discovered Scamp was a girl though, am I wrong?
Ahem, nope, you're quite right Jack and have a house point for remembering :rofl:
You might recall that we'd had Scamp for a good few weeks before one of the vets pointed it out (first time we went to the vets the first one kept referring to Scamp as a 'he' lol!) and we'd got so used to calling Scamp a 'he' we thought we'd just carry on. As well as adressing Scamp by name we were often calling him 'boy' or 'baby boy' and we didn't want to confuse Scamp by suddenly saying 'girl'. Also, as T will tell you, he acts and looks just like a little boy :rofl:
The funny thing is EXACTLY the same story happened with our other cat Scruff, who's also been brought up as a boy. Needless to say I think the vet thinks I'm a bit thick!
No doubt I probably come over as sounding a bit like a crack-pot. In truth it doesn't matter to me what sex they are as long as they're happy. And once their bits are removed they're all the same anyway. Lol.
All the best,
S.
-
Was just checking. I'll sound like a crackpot now, but sometimes I have dreams and remember them as real.....only day to day things you understand, not really way out things. :evillaugh:
She's stunning. :Luv:
-
Scamp is the image of our baby Millie who is most certainly a girl ;) Scamp is a stunning beauty :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
The Paws Inn Polish is shining through there, what a gorgeous
boy girl cat :Luv:
-
:Luv: :Luv: Scamp :Luv: :Luv:
Just gorgeous :Luv2:

:Luv: :Luv: Scamp is gorgeous!

Beautiful pics of a beautiful cat!! Just stunning! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Aw thanks all! I feel like such a proud cat mother hehehe.
And thanks for not pointing out the slightly grubby tap! :rofl:

Hi everyone
You will no doubt know that Teresa is back in hospital, but work continues at the Inn and we have been cuddling as usual this morning.
I thought you might like to see some photos of the gang and also our newest arrival James - he was brought to us by a local vet who had looked after him after he had been hit by a car. No owner has been traced so we were asked if we could look after him. He has some eye damage and a poorly tongue but he has recovered well.
Enjoy.
Cxx
-
James
-
And finally one of Daisy and Mac
-
Lovely photos - I love Blackberry. What a cutie.
EDIT: Did BlackJack get a home yet? I do hope so!
-
Thanks for posting, Claire. I hope Teresa recovers quickly: I bet this weather isn't helping.
Meanwhile, lovely pictures as always. My heart has gone out to James :Luv:
-
Lovely photos Clare :Luv2: :Luv2: Can't believe how Mac has grown!!! :rofl: :rofl: Teresa did a wonderful job with him! :hug: :hug:
-
Thanks for the new pics Claire, please let Teresa know that we are all thinking of her and willing her to get better :hug:

Very pleased to see you posting Teresa but I'm afraid asking us not to worry is an impossible task. You mean so much to so many people (and cats!) so will be praying for a speedy recovery for you :hug:

-
Teresa so lovely to "see you" am hoping you are on the mend so we can start the escape plan with the extra large handbag
Asking us not to worry is like asking us not to eat Choccie!!!!! ;D
The Paws Inn kids look wonderful as usual and isn't James such a :Luv2: - I fear I may have to get the suitcase with wheels for my future visit :shocked:
-

JS to answer your earlier queries re Pepsi and kittens
First Chico was homed

Korky and Blackberry were rehomed together

Absolutely wonderful. :) Without you, I'm almost certain that Scamp would have been left to fight his infection without medical care and more than likely not survived.
So, Pepsi, Scamp and four out of the five kittens have been rehomed - and there's only Blackberry left.....hope the right home comes along really soon. And for the Ginger Ninjas too, actually.

Bramble is left, Blackberry has got a home x
-
Doh, sorry - momentary blip. Must've liked the name Blackberry!
-
I did forget to mention that I have a reserve on Lily after she is spayed etc ,she will be going to live next door to 2 former Paws Inn Kittens who are now 9years old (Tulas sons) small world. Rob did a follow up and went to see Pepsi in her new home and then cheekily popped in on BlackJack and Midnight who were all great fun, strangely they live quite close to each other and not terribly far from Chico/Scamp. Funny theres not many places that hasnt received or provided a Paws Inn cat over the years.
I should have mentioned that Marigold was removed from mum on vets advise last week as she was losing weight , she did go downhill but is now eating well and loving being in the house.
James Actually had a fractured jaw, split tongue and injured leg as well as the eye, we are hoping the eye wont need further treatment but he will always have reduced vision. Poor boy was very timid when we first collected him but I gather he is enjoying lots of attention in my absense.
Daisy and Mac looked wonderful when I last saw them and I am gutted that I missed the little fella opening his eyes, paid the vet bill last week over £1300 for June alone mind you it was £300 for caesarian, woth every penny.
Sitting her taking meds and have forgotten most of what I needed to report on other than to say Twinkle is doing very well, O yes treated myself to a sun lounger and Monica stole it and now I`m here so guess it will belong to the ferals now.
I do moiss them all dreadfully.
-
You should set up a 'Paws Inn' map :) Glad James is perking up and hopefully on the mend, as for Marigold being poorly :( try as I might I can't get her out of my head :Luv2: Did the vet say what might have been the matter with her?
I'm sure Monica will relinquish her your sun lounger back to you but only when you're well enough to go home and not before :hug:
-
When me and OH finally buy a bigger house with a catproofable garden I will be straight up there to get a PI kitty...we need some PI love down south too :)
I bet the whole PI clan are awaiting meowmys return as soon as she is better and not a moment before :)
-
such good updates T and can see you are missing your babies :hug:
Me thinks we need a Paws Inn webcam for Aunty T to share the special moments when she keeps going back to see Mr Dishy Doctor ;)
-
Great update Teresa- :rofl: at Monica nicking your lounger! Poor little James :( hope he continues to improve :Luv2: I'm not surprised you miss them all, they are so beautiful :Luv2: Hopefully it won't be too long before you're home with them :hug: :hug:
-
Fingers crossed you'll be back with kitties soon T xx :hug:
Those ferals are definitely spoilt! sunlounger eh :evillaugh:
-
I'm sure Monica will relinquish her your sun lounger back to you but only when you're well enough to go home and not before :hug:
I'm not sure about that.... ;) Wonderful updates, Teresa. I bet you do miss them - they all sound wonderful characters. What a brave cat James is.
-
Dont know if this will work
-
It worked....nope, Monica's not giving that up. ;)
-
Sorry Teresa - you've clearly had the last of that ;) :evillaugh:
-
Some I took last monday
-
:Luv: :Luv: love the photos! ;D
-
Ooh I just love that expression on Daisy's face (reminds me of Penny :Luv2:). Fabulous pics.
Hope Marigold and James are continuing to improve. I can imagine how you are missing them all T. We'll have to have a whip round for a new lounger for you when get home now that Monica has claimed yours.
-
they all look great T, love James and of course sweetpea!! what a tidy garden!!!
-
More beautiful photos! :Luv2: :Luv2: The garden IS so pretty-it's so relaxing being there too! ;)
-
Well I`m afraid I extracted very little news of the cats during visiting last night, main thing is all are doing fine and Marigold is now fit and well and gaining weight again.
-
Glad to hear that! :hug: :hug:
-
Anyone remember Max and Mabel, the 2 feral kittens that hid, stuck tongue out and hissed, these are original pics from last year; just received this update which has given me enormous pleasure, in fact after watching Helens Purrs videos and now this I`m blabbing like a baby but all good stuff
Dear Teresa and Claire
We thought you might like to see how Max and Mabel are getting on.
Last time we sent you some photographs, they were sharing a small cat bed on the window sill. This is still their favourite place and, as the new photographs show, despite outgrowing it, they manage to find a way to fit into it. As you can see, they love each other's company.
They have developed into two wonderful cats. Max is a big softie. He curls up on the sofa between us if we are watching TV and has begun to venture onto our laps. He has also begun to protect his territory in the garden - we saw him chasing after a neighbour's cat the other day.
Mabel also loves a fuss now and rolls over on her side if you start stroking her. She still loves to play with the toys she had at Paws Inn and supplements this by chasing anything that moves in the garden. She has a natural hunter's instinct and has brought in a few 'trophies' (including wasps, moths and worms) to show us. Although Max will sleep for hours at a time, Mabel is in and out of the cat flap all day. They both have healthy appetites, especially Max - in fact we look forward to the day when we can enjoy our own breakfasts in peace.
Both of them have developed strong, loud purrs and are confident around other people. They are very inquisitive when we have guests and do not shy away. We went away for three days recently, leaving a neighbour to feed them. They were absolutely fine , although they have been keen for a fuss since our return.
We hope your health has improved, Teresa, and that the sanctuary is going well.
Thanks again for Max and Mabel - they are a fine testament to the great work you are doing.
Best wishes
Alan and Gill
There are pics attached but not sure how to get them shrunk on here but will try
-
I was just watching the save a life video too and was racking my brains trying to remember their names! Funny how they were the ones that stuck out for me and then just minutes later you posted an update :)
P.S Feel free to email me the new pics to resize, can either post them for you or email them back - whatever you prefer :)
-
Thanks Helen , I have forwarded entire email and pics to you, you will note from time on email I only received it in last hour, how eerie is that.
-
Pics of the glorious Max & Mabel :)

How wonderful, what a lovely update :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
What gorgeous pictures - they look so, so, happy :Luv2:
-
What fantastic photos! Such beautiful cats who obviously adore each other! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Oh Teresa - doesn't that do your heart good? :wow: How adorable are they? As Shirley says they clearly love each other, and have just as clearly found paradise in their new home. What more could you have asked for? :Luv: :hug: :hug:
Helen - thanks for posting those. :) I love the topmost piccie where they're sitting upright looking at the camera, and then when you see them all snuzzled up and snoozing - :Luv2: Fab! just fab.
-
What lovely cats they have turned into, and wonderful to see them so close. I am sure these pics make you very proud T.
-
I certainly do remember them! and how great is it to read that T :wow: and those photos :Luv: :Luv:
(I also watched the Save a Life video yesterday and was sat having a good sob :))
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Now this is what Purrs is really all about!
-
My oh my, would you look at Max and Mabel now :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Its pics like this which truly make my day :hug:
-
Rob just brought camera with a few pics of cats for me as he knows I am missing them.
First pic is Marigold esp for her Aunty Helen :hug:
Next is Milly obviously very relaxed and not missing me in the slightest
Then comes my little Mac, well not so little, hes going to be a giant, this is the first time I have seen his eyes.
-
I bet that's lifted your spirits Teresa :) Love them all but Marigold is just too cute, she's so fuzzy! :Luv2:
-
Esp loved these two from day they appeared on Purrs. Latest pics are truly stunning :catluv: :catluv:
-
Marigold saying get me out of here, we didnt say much but Marigold was at deaths door just over a week ago, Rob may try to re unite her with her litter mates tomorrow, she is a very demanding little madam and with me in here and Rob at work the house is a tad lonely, think we need to get Twinkle to take over Minimopsicals old job and take charge of these little madams.
Mac`s pic very red eyed, tried to fix on puter but not good, I am dying to get home and pick him up again.
-
She's a celebrity... let her outta there :evillaugh:
-
Loving all these pictures Teresa.So glad Marigold is doing well now.
-
Lovely pics and so glad that Marrigold is on the mend, as for Max and Mabel - they are so stunning and it is so heartwarming to see how happy and content they look. A true testament to your love and dedication xxx
Get well soon T :hug: :hug: :hug:

(Nearly PM'd you last night re. my friends' stray,Tigger and her babies-she was spayed yesterday and i wanted some advice from the expert! Thought best not tho........ :rofl: )
You should have done, I am doing nothing but lounging around :rofl: Seriously Shirley I am always here :hug:
-
Wish i'd known-i had so many calls about these i felt they were mine :rofl: Vet had told her to keep babies away from mom last night but she was running up and down stairs to get at them! In the end, after advice from CC, i told her to put them with them and hope! She was ok in the end, i was shattered! :rofl:
-
ClaireR has been to visit this afternoon and apart from bringing wonderful choc, fruit and cookie supplies tells me that Marigold has successfully been re-united with her mum and siblings, after over a week away she was straight back to the milk bar along with Morse and Sweetpea, Daisymacs Kenny Lewis is the only big boy who no longer needs mums milk it seems.I can see we will have to work at making milk bar redundant as kittens will be 8 weeks old on Monday.
I feel much better for Claires visit and today we have decided that Paws Inn will be having a summer open day in August, watch this space I am now fit ,strong and ready to conquer the world , when I have worked out my escape :rofl:
-
Brilliant news! :hug: :hug:
-
Can you make it after the 20 August Aunty T then I can hopefully come - I have Sunny Harbour the first Weekend, CP Perth the second but am available on the third and forth weekends Husband baby sitting permitting - its only an hour by Plane!!!!
You seem very bright T can I have some of your pills please I have invited my 14y.o nephew to stay for a week - I will not play facebook and wine at 2am in the morning again! :rofl:
When is the great escape planned for so I can phone you to catch up and send you some picices of dear Haper who is now out of his pen - I know I'm a soft touch and curled up in the green object with Smudger and Ragamuffin - they are being so nice bless them :Luv2:
-
Liz , ClaireR is organising things and setting date, I think it will be nearer end of August.
Bright yes I am very bright, all cats doing well without me, sitting here eating choccies Claire brought me and the medicine is tiring but best ever.
Midnight will be 4 different nebulisers
3am IV antibiotics
6am another 4 nebulisers
8am Pills only 13
11am more IV antibiotics
lunch 2 nebulisers
1 injection
Pills only 2
Teatime
2 more nebs
7pm IV antibiotics
2 more pills and back to midnights nebs
In truth I feel better than I have in months , the pneumonia has as good as gone and I am coping without oxygen, when I escape they can have the wretched oxygen machine back, I intend to live life to the full again.
Life is very good. :)
-
Glad all is well at the Inn and so pleased the new meds are doing the trick. :hug:
-
On second thoughts Aunty T I stick with back pain and nice pain killers!
Am so glad you are on the mend - I feel a shopping spree coming on! ;) :rofl:
-
What a lovely update, I am so glad you are feeling so bright :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I have just cleared OH's schedule for AUgust and he will be home to babysit for every weekend - and says I can go to the Inn's open day - now just got to figure out how to get cats napped on the plane! ;D
-
Great update T, it's good to hear you're feeling so much better! :hug: :hug:
I've got Cramar's Open Day on 21st & 22nd August (takes a day to set up!) so last weekend in Aug would be good for me for your's!! ;)
-
No cat news so shall I mention that I had a wonderful sleep inbetween meds and have woken up with a badly bloodshot eye, could a cat have snuck in :rofl: :rofl:
Have a lovely day everyone :hug:
-
I shall be keeping my weekends in August free then! ;D
-
Glad you're feeling better T ;D
-
I shall be keeping my weekends in August free then! ;D
And Twinkle will be looking forward to your cuddles :hug:
-
:Luv2 :Luv2: :Luv2: Can't wait!
-
Sorry Kirst cant remember if these have been posted before
-
Todays pics brought in at visiting
modified as I forgot the pics :rofl:
-
Twinkle is such a stunner, you need to watch Kirst as I think she will be bringing a Twinkle size handbag this time xx
-
And some of Twinkle demonstrating that my kitchren is being used as a dumping ground for trainers in my absence.
Tomorrow I am going to escape if they do not let me go peacefully.
-
Teresa - this thread is bringing a huge grin to my face. All credit to you, me darlin'. ;) :hug: :hug:
-
Oooo Oooo Kenny, OMG I so cant wait to give him a snuggle, we are so looking forward to him coming here. Love all the pics, all the Paws babies are so special :hug: :hug:
-
I must confess to being worried sick, after Claire took the pictures she found Morse cold and lifeless anf rushed him to vets, Rob tells me he is now as right as rain, but I need to see with my own eyes, I need to go home now, sorry weepy tonight.
-
I wonder what happened? I'm glad Morse is OK now, regardless. I don't blame you for being weepy. :hug:
-
OMG, I hope you are OK, I dont blame you for being worried :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Glad he is OK - and no escaping unless you are fit missus!!! >:(
-
No wonder you're upset! :hug: :hug: Did the vet say what was wrong? At least he's ok now, thank goodness! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
No wonder you're upset! :hug: :hug: Did the vet say what was wrong? At least he's ok now, thank goodness! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Dont know, I have sent Claire a pm asking but she is offline. She spoke to Rob on phone but Rob being an old grumpy couldnt hear properly so just relayed half a story.
I know he will be fine and that Rob and Claire are doing everything better than I can for them but in truth it is getting me down being so useless.
-
You can't help being ill, Teresa-you felt so much better yesterday, don't let this worry set you back :hug: :hug: Fingers crossed you'll soon be home :hug: :hug:
-
Useless is never a word I associate with you, Teresa. Even if, as at the moment, you're unable to help out physically you have so much knowledge regarding cat rescue to share. Really hope you're improved enough to go home soon.
-
How frightening about little Morse, pleased it seemed to be a 'blip' and that he's on the mend :hug:
As for talks of escapes before you're well enough :slap:
-
Teresa, sending you a supportive hug this morning and a gentle "ppprrffppt" from Paddy. :hug: Hoping today is better all round
-
Hope that little Morse is still doing ok xx
-
Hope he has bounced back, you certainly aren't useless T, turn them into positive thoughts so you can get out quicker.
-
Hoping that little Morse is on the mend and that you are feeling better again T. It must be so frustrating for you but hopefully it won't be long before you can make your escape. Just been looking at all the pics and am in love with all of them :Luv2: Mac does have a special place in my heart though because of my love of tabbies :Luv2:
-
Think the sitting round waiting for snippets of news is the worst, am sure he will be fine. Keeping myself as bright as I can today.
Ann its so strange the second I set eyes on Macs mum Daisy something very special imprinted itself on my heart, somehow I knew she was pregnant almost like she told me, she would then have only been 2 weeks gone, more strange was the fact I always knew 1 kitten and little Mac well he is special and I cant wait to cuddle him now his eyes are open and he is becoming a proper boy. Think in truth they both remind me of the wonderful late Buster.
-
I imagine Buster will be having a bit of a chuckle to himself. :Luv:
I love the way Twinkle is trying out the trainers for size :evillaugh:
-
I imagine Buster will be having a bit of a chuckle to himself. :Luv:
Somehow I always picture Buster having a chuckle at us, he`s certainly with us in spirit.
I love the way Twinkle is trying out the trainers for size :evillaugh:
:rofl:
I think the trainers will be trying out the Bin for size when I get home, I will not tolerate a messy ship.
As to Twinkle becoming a great socialiser of orphans like Minimopsical was , the reports I have received sounds more likely she will be a pouncing daredevil like Pedro :rofl: :rofl:
-
a pouncing daredevil like Pedro
:evillaugh: reckon she'll still lick a few into shape!
-
:Luv: oooo Ya know i wonder why i wish i had a huge house!! hee hee! I wonder if it's cause i wish i could be mum to all the wonderful little ones and big ones! :evillaugh:
They all look gorgeous T. :Luv:
Really must get that cat napping team going again :sneaky: :shify: There are so many lovely cats on Purrs. :wow: :Luv: :Luv:
-
The news tonight is that Morse is very much brighter and has eaten well, he is now in the house with Rob no doubt being forced to watch Big Brother against his will :rofl:
I am told that Baby Mac is now tootling round his pen bless him.
Today has also been a good milestone for me healthwise and I am hoping to be going back to being a scrubber by the end of the week :rofl:
-
;D Brill news all round :hug:
-
So glad all is well at the Inn, for what I hear the skipper will be back at the helm very soon :Luv2:
-
So pleased that Morse is better, even more pleased that you may be able to break out soon :hug:
-
Yaay good news all round ;D
-
:evillaugh: Glad to hear all is good Teresa.
-
No real news this evening as Rob only arrived 10 mins before visiting ended and time was taken up instructing him on which people I have said I will help today, poor old Grumpy was half asleep and now hes gone home to sort out more. Please Please let me out tomorrow.
-
:shify: The file is in the cake, Teresa..... :shify:
Cake: :cake4:

So what's the latest word onna street? You out yet, Aunty T? :shify:
I am still here, being released between 4 and 5 this afternoon.
Had intended to post this at a later time and really it shouldnt be on this thread but it seems I have had a miracle all of my own.
I havent been myself for a long time and had been in terrific pain with swollen joints and severe headaches too, I have been on oxygen an in a wheelchair since last year. Basically this pseudomas which causes the pneumonia had gone through my whole body hence the reason I was so ill, I am now almost pain free and can walk, I have been taking myself off to the hospital shop a round trip of probably 400yards, I go alone, NO oxygen, NO wheelchair, I am normal once again (well apart from being a raving loony) mucking out here I come, shops here I come Yippee I am fit again with a life ahead of me thats now worth living.

-
I walked down to the shop this morning after breakfast, I had eaten 2 weetabix and a bread roll with jam; I treated myself to a bacon sandwich on 2 rounds of bread, it was glorius, ok I am not greedy it was the steroids that demanded the food :rofl: anyhow while at the shop I bought a thankyou card and 3 boxes of fresh cream cakes for the nurses to have on their break, had a struggle carrying them all back and it quite made the nurses day. Incidentally the steroids have since devoured fish and chips and lemon sponge with custard and already they are saying feed me feed me :rofl:
-
Oh T thats the most wonderful news ever. :wow: :hug: :hug: ;D
-
Teresa! You are going to saunter out this afternoon on your own two feet! :wow:

Ok I am home, managed to walk out of hospital as planned.Great fluffybanana up with medication so it was 6.30 when we finally left, but I am FREE.
Home coming hectic Little Morse still poorly and needed his mum, he refused to eat for Rob today, have sat him on my knee and he has had a good feed of adult smelly food and have also given him electrolyte fluid, he looks much brighter but I will be taking him into vet in morning.
Monica feral has an enormous lump on her head and I need to get the trap out to catch her to get her to the vet.
Phone jammed full with calls including some woman with a mobile number saying come and get these 3 feral kittens out of my garden, that was yesterday, phoned her and its a mobile on answerphone.
O the joys of being home and feeling needed again.
Had a quick inspection of all other cats and all looking fine, the improvement in James both healthwise and confidence wise is wonderfull.
Little Mac well he is stunning, huge and WOW.
Will try and get pics and full update tomorrow.
-
Ah well Teresa - like I say "There's no place like home...." ;) :hug:

Hi Everyone
Just logged on to give you an update on Morse and our new arrival.
We have been back to the vets with Morse this morning as he is hasn't eaten much. We have had the works done by the vet including an xray to check his lungs and airways and we have arrived back home with him. The little man has managed 5ml of food via syringe which we are very proud of him for and we have left him to have a little sleep to gain some strength. He needs your thoughts and vibes, but he is a little fighter. We have posted a photo of him this morning.
Other photo is of Dusty a new arrival today, she is about 5 months old and was passed to us via a link on cat chat.
Final photo is of the handsome James....he has had lots of cuddles today and wanted to show you all how handsome he is!!
Daisy and Mac photos (along with others!) will follow tomorrow!!
Cx
-
Thanks for the update Claire :hug:
Morse was one of the ones that I had a soft spot for along with lews (always the black ones with me :innocent: :Luv:) and I'll be keeping everything crossed for him.
Lovely to see photos of the others - another gorgeous black cat :Luv2: and Dusty (who I know about and was waiting to see) she is gorgeous! thanks again xx
-
He looks so tired, poor little thing :care: Have absolutely everything crossed that he can pull through this :hug:
As for Dusty and James :blow kiss:
-
Keeping everything crossed here :hug:
-
Come on Morse baby, you get better for us all :hug: :hug:
-
Awwww poor little baby-fingers and paws crossed here and sending vibes from the Midlands :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Dusty and James are gorgeous! :Luv2:
-
Poor little Morse - he looks so forlorn. Sending him lots of 'get eating and get strong' vibes and a big :hug: for his mum T.
-
I've been following dusty on catchat, she is just as lovely as I suspected she would be, so, so glad she ended up safe
-
Just a quick update, No real improvement in Morse I`m afraid he is still fighting for his life. He has now been given everything I asked for at the vets so its a case of keep up the care, the syringe feeding and the prayers.
Rest assured I am doing everything possible for him.
Monica`s giant head lump was an abcess which has burst, I suspect she had a set to with Darth Vader,so instead of trapping we are trying to treat with AB`s hidden in food.
All others well.
Me worn out, Not been to sleep since I got home yesterday.
-
Glad that you are home T but so sorry that little Morse is poorly - sending lots of love, huggles and healing vibes for the beautiful little one xxx
Please get some sleep T - if you burn yourself out you will end up poorly again and no one wants that to happen :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa - sending special healing snoozles for Morse, and asking you gently to take things easy and try and get some sleep on your own account. :hug: :hug:
-
Come on Morse , keep fighting!
-
Great news that you're home, a clever escape indeed ;)
Sending healing thoughts for Morse (get well soon) and Monica.
Momo & Cassidy send you some big sloppy cat kisses. They haven't been feeling well themselves lately (that will teach them not to chase and eat flies!) but luckily the antiobiotics the vet gave them for their dodgy tummies worked quickly and they are back to their usual selves now (a big relief). We've invested in a giant insect-o-cutor now and have to find somewhere high up on the kitchen wall to put it out of paws' reach!
It's good to hear that rehoming at the Inn is going well so positive news all round hopefully :)
Big hugs,
Carolyn, Alan & the Bump
PS Baby is due on 3rd September so not long now. When is your next grandchild due? I seem to remember it's about the same time as our little one :)
-

No need to worry about this old boot as long as cats are fine so am I. I have even fitted in quick trip round supermarket, no oxygen, no wheelchair today, its been a very hard day but hopefully I have climbed my biggest mountain.
Carolyn lovely to hear from you, hugs to the wonderful Momo and Cassidy.

Youngest son and partner expect their son mid October, then 1 will have my own Grannies 5 a side football team :rofl:
Please keep Morsel in your thoughts and prayers he is one very precious little character.

Morse sounds a lovely boy. Hoping his recovery speeds up and he's back to himself in no time. Also hope Monicas abcess heals quickly.
Great that you were up to a shopping trip, too.
-
...... as long as cats are fine so am I. I have even fitted in quick trip round supermarket, no oxygen, no wheelchair today, its been a very hard day but hopefully I have climbed my biggest mountain.
Oh Teresa, what are you? One very special lady thats what. I wont waste my time telling you to take it easy, maybe advising you to sieze the moment is more appropriate but then you're already doing that. :)
Please keep Morsel in your thoughts and prayers he is one very precious little character.
I certainly will. Sending the lovely Mr Morsel lots of stength-giving vibes. :Luv2:
-

Claire took those photos this morning and I am so proud of our little ones, they are all beautys. My heart went out to Daisy when I saw the fun she was having with the catnip mouse during her 5 minute break from motherhood. As for Mac he is huge and he is stunning.

Aw, so glad you're back home now T and feeling stronger by the day. Also delighted to hear that little Morse/Morsel's proving to be a little fighter :Luv2:
Blimey! if a 'newbie' to this site started reading this 'Paws' thread from start to finnish then they'd soon figure out they're on one hell of an emotional rollercoaster!
Pepsi's last bambino is utterly gorgeous and I can't believe she(?) hasn't been snaffled up yet! Pepsi sure does produce some 'stunners'! :rofl:
Wishing you T a super week and really hope it's 'onwards and upwards' from here on :hug:

Well its amazing what Johnsons lavendar baby shampoo can achieve a relaxed sweet smelling Morsel having a lovely sleep on his snugglesafe which has given me chance to update the Paws Inn website a bit, still got the Catchat one to do though.Been interupted by so many phonecalls, and yet another 2 black mums each with a litter of 5 black kittens coming in tomorrow, there is a 3rd adult who the owner wants to keep so I have agreed to pay for her to be spay and returned, thankfully care worker tells me this cat is not pregnant phew.
-
Oh T you keep mentioning my total downfall black cats - may have to drive to the Paws Inn open day with a large suitcase and several cat boxes!!! :sneaky:
-
Business brisk at the Inn as usual, then! ;)
Very glad Morse(l) is restored to frangrant relaxation. Tis a terrible business whenever there's trouble in the troosers department. Couldn't resist sneaking another peek at Daisy with her little mouskie. :Luv:
Mac reminds me of little Berlioz from the Aristocats (the little plumptious one :) )
-
Awwww really hope Morsel continues to improve, T :Luv2: :Luv2:
Another 2 moms and 10 kittens :grrrrrr: I wonder you don't go out of your mind, Teresa :Crazy: Thank God for you and people like you!! :hug: :hug:
-
Sending lots more positive vibes to the sweet smelling Morsel (trusting that he still is sweet smelling :rofl:). I do so hope he can conquer whatever it is that ails him. How is Marigold now? Didn't she have something similar a couple of weeks ago?
More black cats and kittens. :Luv2: Probably just as well that I can't make the Paws Inn Summer Social. :innocent:
-
[...]she needs fitnus instrukter now and zat iz mez Mr. Morsel.
Anyone remember Mr. Motivator off GMTV? Me thinks Mr. Morsel should be Mr. Morselvator :naughty:
Loving the photos Teresa, they're all looking lovely. Little Sweetpea has stolen my heart, she looks incredibly mischievous. :Luv2:
-

Marigold was very poorly,Morse seems to have collapsed just like Marigold did, however she made a complete recovery, because of this we are so much more concerned about Morse who seems to be being hit by one thing after another. Vet unable to get blood from either kitten to prove/disprove on what we are thinking.Mum and remainder of litter all well, we have had no illness going round at the Inn, so right now its easier for me to post as Morsel and smile about things. He is back on his snugglesafe sleeping soundly (wish I was).
-
Can we get Aunty T a Snugglesafe Pad sorted out then? Maybe then, she'll sleep! :evillaugh:
-
A further glimmer of improvement from Morsel who tried to wash his front leg and face, he has also managed to go to his litter tray and produce 2 solid lumps. Fast asleep on his snugglesafe but has been quite alert for about half an hour this evening.
Just need to point something out incase anyone has been checking our Website/Catchat homing pages, Lily and her 4 kittens and Daisy and her kitten Mac have been marked as temporarily unavailable, there is nothing sinister all appear healthy HOWEVER there is a very remote chance that these cats are Felv positive and until we are able to rule this out with proper blood tests it is wiser not to take further enquiries. We take our responsibility towards all rescues very seriously and will do the very best for them all regardless of test results.
We are fortunate to have excellent isolation facilities and practise good housekeeping so there is no risk of cross infection.
I have already spoken to Daisymac re Kenny and think perhaps a few :hug: may help her just now.
-
:hug: sent.
Hoping the results come back negative on the Felv tests. Hugs to all at Paws Inn; including Morsel. Keep it up, little guy.
-
I have everything crossed for all the kittens and Lilly and Daisy xx I know they couldn't be in better hands :hug:
-
Glad little Morsel is feeling a bit better :Luv2:
Everything crossed tests will be negative on Daisy, Lily and babies :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: :hug: to you T.
-
Oh T All this thank goodnes you have them in isolation and I agree theya re in the best place and hope you can test soon
Our thoughts are with you at this time and hope that all prove negative for everyones sake :hug:
-
Adding my thoughts and positive vibes for Daisy, Lily and the little ones, and sending :hug: :hug: for Daisymac too.
Paddy sends his very best "ppprfffppptt" for little Morse(l) this morning. :cat rub:
-
Fingers crossed they test negative, and hope Morse is still doing well.
-
Best of luck with the tests and hugs to all xx :hug:
-
Praying hard that those results are negative - lots of hugs all round I think. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Morsel held his own overnight and been to see Andy vet this am.
-
Fingers crossed Morsel continues to improve - :hug: to everyone.
-
Not good news Morsel has gone down since this morning but it could be the AB injection, he did go down after the last one; the poor boy has no resources to fight and he has pneumonia.Its taken almost an hour to syringe 9ml into him.He has fallen fast asleep on his snugglesafe and I am watching him so very carefully.
We have Lily the mother cat booked in for spay and blood tests next Tuesday.
-
Am praying very hard that little Morsel pulls through and that all tests are negative. Poor little boy he is fighting so hard but he must be exhausted. Sending lots of :hug: to you aswell T.
Hobbes is sending his very best purrs to you all too :hug:
-
Come on, lil Morsel. :-:
-
Please be OK Morsel, we are all fighting for you in spirit :hug:
-
Come on Morsel , we are all rooting for you. :hug:
-
Poor little soul, lots of love heading his way :Luv2:
-
Popping by to top up the vibes and to give a gentle stroke of encouragement to Morse. :hug:
-

I'm so sorry Teresa, you did more for that little man in 9 weeks than many see in a whole lifetime, he will know that, and how much he was loved by you :hug:
RIP sweet Morse, safe and sound on the Bridge with our other furkids :(
-
Am so, so sorry Teresa. :hug: :hug:
-
I am so sorry to hear this, I had truly hoped he could fight ths, but he had a wonderful mum who did everything for him. RIP little one
-
Thank you All for the support you gave to Morsel and me over the last few days,it certainly helped keep us going. :hug: I wont pretend that I am not broken hearted because I am, BUT for the benefit of all the Paws Inn inmates life has to go on with smiles and cuddles, thats the way Morsel would have wanted it. To that end I was out very early this morning cuddling and taking pics too sadly camera battery a bit flat so pics not wonderful but will post them anyway.
Within an hour of Morse being PTS the next little needy ones arrived, they were brought by a Social/child protection agency woman so even I am not permitted to know where they came from, all we do know is that they have been living in a coal house on a really bad estate.
First mum I have called Melody has 5 kittens all black approx 6 weeks old, the stench when they arrived was horrendous and diarhoea aplenty, not too worried as I am pretty sure its a worm problem and that has been addressed now.
The second mum who is also black I have called Grace, she is very timid but obviously protecting her babies, she has 4 black/white and black. Given time she will blossom.
We decided that Mac was old enough to have a scratching post so took some pics of that too, his mum really appreciated it.
-
How do I tell these apart, def need specsavers
-
And finally
Just for fun
Just realised I havent taken pic of Melody mum, next time.
-
Lovely pics, Teresa. Brought a smile back to my face (and yours i'm sure!) :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Mac's face just says it all! ;D
-
Ooooh Aaaah - lovely pics. :Luv2: I'll take Grace and kittens number 3 and 4 please (if only). Just love Mac's little (well, not that little) white tootsies.
-
Great photos, Teresa. :) I think you're probably right and Morsel would most definitely not expect his "old boot" ;) to stop doing what she does best.
Grace and her brood are stunning. Hope she feels less nervous soon and looking forward to pictures of Melody mum. :hug:
-
Wow you are going to be busy - Morsel will be looking down and saying' Mumty T doing what she does best , is very good' :hug: :hug:
-
Oh waht a stunning lot of Babies at the Inn, all safe from harm and with Aunty T on the case all will be bloomong soon :hug:
I know how you are feeling T the loss of one so young is devestating but he had the Paws Inn family and all of us here to remember him and just what you go through with everyone of the Pawsd Inn Babies :hug:
-
Bless all their little paws. They are in the best place now and I'm sure will go from strength to strength in your care :hug:
Not so little Mac is looking splendid :Luv2: Nice to see his mum teaching him the way to do things :)
-
And the circle is complete once more. :) Lovely pics Teresa. Little Mac is fab. :) nice to see his Mum's just a big kid at heart, too.
-
Lovely photos :Luv: :Luv:
-
Wow - what gorgeous babies! And just in time for the Paws Open Day! Large handbags at the ready ladies :innocent:

All the inmates fine which is just as well as its been a nightmare of a day.
Decided it was a sick bed day for me as have been overdoing things, seem to spend the whole day answering phone and trying to sort out ferals and strays. We are full to bursting here and cannot squeeze in anymore, of all the calls I got one girl needed vet treatment for an eye problem, I agreed to pay consultation etc at my vets if finder could hang on a couple of days till I could make a space, the owners did a moonlight flit 6 weeks ago ; this man fed 2 cats since ( one cat missing 2 days now) anyway cat to vet consultation and needs tube of eye cream but problem the cat has a microchip, this horrid woman has dumped the cat and when my vets contacted her refused to allow cat to have treatment, so now it is rspca case. Microchips wonderful until you hit a problem. Man is going to keep in touch and let me know when rspca respond and offer help if ever.
Special thoughts for Chico/Scamp who was neutered today.
O well another day done
-
Glad the innmates are all OK, I'm not surprised you've been knocked back what with all that you've had to cope with :hug: Shocking about the poor cat whose evil owner won't even allow anyone to treat it after she's abandoned him/her :Crazy:
P.S Has Scamp been neutered... or spayed ;)
-
How has that woman got the right to refuse treatment-she abandonded the poor thing :Crazy: >:( The eye must me really sore and will just get worse without treatment-i don't understand some people, just horrible! :(
Hope you've got a bit more energy today, T, you take care :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Aunty T - Paddy sends a bracing "ppprrfffpppptttttt" just for you this morning. :cuddle:
-
O Dear have I boobed, when I was in hospital I agreed to help a lady who appeared to have 2 strays,( the lady is good she adopted little long haired ginger Paddy from us) , said lady agreed to monitor the cats and do lots of detective work in a bid to find an owner, she thought at least one cat was possibly pregnant. Well got an email with picture last night of cat they think may be pregnant and she looks ready to drop so have replied saying that we will fit her in ASAP. The thing is where, I have tossed and turned all night trying to ram the square peg into the round hole jobby and my poor head is aching from the effort. Sadly the only interest and homes booked are for Lily and CO who cannot at this time go anywhere.
I need more Pens but I have run out of garden, though in truth I suppose thats a good thing. I have a couple of possible moves involving Christopher and James but will they play ball.
-
You'll find inspiration from somewhere Teresa. :hug:
-
Best of luck sorting things Teresa :hug:
-
Oh dear, I know how packed to the rafters you are, I know you will fit them in somewhere though :hug: :hug:
-
Hope you can find some space somewhere T, but please dont make yourself poorly in the process.
-
Well I huffed and I puffed and managed to fit half the square peg into the round hole :rofl: am sitting here like 90 year old pushing the oxygen; phone call just after I posted to say pregnant one caught so it was left to me to sort out marrying Christopher and James both are safe to mix otherwise I would never have considered it, James is 2-3 years older than Christopher and a tad bossy but I am sure this will be the start of a beautiful friendship and of course James now has an outside run.
Pregnant cat very difficult and aggressive so unhandleable at present and I daren`t risk being bitten because of medication so took what seemed forever to get her into the Pen, have told her she can settle in peace and quiet for an hour and I will look in later. The other cat is female and I have asked man to try and feed till Wednesday when hopefully Lily will be spay with an all clear blood result, I am using one collapsible in the house for Twinkle and really dont want to be using more.
Just please dont let this cat have all blacks, I can no longer afford spesavers :rofl: :rofl:
Pics when I have some energy.
I had to apologise to man for still being in pyjamas and dressing gown at this late hour :rofl: :rofl:
-
Oh gosh T, it really is non-stop isn't it! Please don't wear yourself out too much! Believe me, I'm extremely 'tempted' to being a few 'napping' bags round!
Chico Scamp's recovery is going extremely well thanks all. I was a bit worried that I might have found her in pain this morning due to the painkillers subsiding overnight but all sems fine. Phewf! Thankfully she bares me no ill will too...can't say that I'd be the same if my mum took me to the doctors for an op like that :rofl:
-
Delighted to hear Scamp is fine, wonder if I could sneak a playmate in your bag on Sunday when you arent looking :rofl:
Well midday and I am finally clean and dressed and eaten breakfast, not bad for someone who was up at 5am :rofl:
Christopher and James seem to be doing just fine so far.
I am supposed to be coming up with things for our open day, not doing terribly well at minute also got a multitude of kittens names to find not doing well at that,I need a boys name has to fit in with the 3 graces before I can start on next litter, what I need is tin of paint and number each one so I know who is who :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry not able to update before now.
Numbers increased again yesterday when Chelsea the semi feral I squeezed in on Friday gave birth to 3 gorgeous babies, I am not convince she is finished but time will tell.I am so pleased I went to so much trouble to make room for her. So far we have 2 blacks and 1 grey. The number of solid blacks at the Inn is getting out of control :rofl:
ClaireR I gather worked hard to do a move around yesterday so that Melody and her 5 could go into a big kitten Pen and from the pics Rob brought me last night they look so happy considering they had spent their lives in a coal shed. Grace the other mum still looks tired and sad but Rob tells me she is becoming very trusting of him and I am sure she will soon look brighter, her kittens are certainly growing and trying to open their eyes.
We also gained a new helper in Lil Scruff yesterday who was soon set to work scrubbing, So sorry Sarah but a huge thank you.
Yes best own up I have been in hospital since Saturday morning.
First pics coming up, not wonderful as Rob didnt want to disturb new mum.
-
And heres some of Melody and her 5 beauties, anyone got any hints on how to tell them apart :rofl:
-
Aw Teresa - gotta take things gently - I know that word's not in your vocabulary when it comes down to your own health, but please? :hug: :hug:
Beautiful babies though (even if the blacks are multiplying, bless them!) :)
-
Just noticed that Melody has some almost impercetible but beautiful shadow tiger striping! ;D
-
Sorry to hear you're back in hospital-you know you've done too much, don't you, but guess you didn't have a choice with all your new arrivals! Hope you'll be home soon! :hug: :hug:
Pics are lovely-Melody has a beautiful coat! The babies are adorable but i have no idea how you tell the black ones apart! :rofl:
-
They are so lovely, wondered when you were going to own up about being in hospital :hug: :hug:, I didnt want to put my foot in it by announcing it :shocked:
We could get some little Wooly jumpers for the black ones and put numbers on their backs so you can tell them apart :naughty:
-
Sorry to hear you are back in hospital T. New babies are lovely, and Melody has a gorgeous coat to say she has just had babies.
-
Aw Teresa - gotta take things gently - I know that word's not in your vocabulary when it comes down to your own health, but please? :hug: :hug:
Beautiful babies though (even if the blacks are multiplying, bless them!) :)
Agree with all that; please look after yourself Teresa. And the newcomers are indeed stunning! :)
-
It was an honour for me helping out yesterday and great to meet Claire and all of the imates :) My otherhalf said he was "secretly very disappointed" when I returned empty handed!
Melody's kittens are absolute beauties but I think you're right T - telling them apart will be a most impossible task :rofl: A thought's just occurred to me re names - as mum's name is Melody how about some musical terms? I've looked up an online musical terms glossary (http://www.classicalworks.com/html/glossary.html) and there's some very pretty names such as Allegra (means "A direction to play lively and fast" so very apt for a kitten!), Cadence, Rococo, Harmony, Tutti, Soprano etc.
Hope the recovery is going well T - will send you a PM later with full report but I'd better get back to work now!
S
-
What a great idea for the kittens names!
-
I think it was Captain Scarlet where the "angels" were called "Raphsody, Harmony, Melody and Symphony"
-
I had been thinking along musical names too, we know there are 3 girls trouble is both Claire and me are unsure on last 2, we think 5 girls but that would be strange.
I was thinking of Composers too like Dupussy (Dubussy) if there is a boy there.Be really good if we could make a catty names out of musical themes like Tuttipuss or Rococcocat :rofl:
Grace and her babies also have a theme, her 3 girls are Faith, Hope and Charity little boy still nameless.
Think Chelsea`s babies will be easy once they are sexed.
-
Gorgeous photos :Luv2: :Luv2:
Hope the recovery is going well T
me too xx

How about musical instruments
Fluteypuss
Cellopuss
Drumcat
Pussymbol
Harmonicapuss
Pianapuss
Ok better crawl back into my bed in disgrace :rofl: :rofl:
-
I Like Cellopuss - has a sort of T S Elliot ring to it. And I also like the idea of Drum-knott, as he's a character in Terry Pratchett's discworld series, and a very wise and dependable individual he is too.
Timpani, Oboe, Harp-o, Viola, Quaver and Crotchett........... ;)
-
Aunty Suepoo these names are much more fun looking good
Need either 5 girls or
3 girls and 3 unisex :rofl:

Must admit I nearly fell out my bed when I just read my PM`s another little Paws Inn kitten has a home with a lovely purrs member :yesss: :star1: :star1: :yayyy: :happy dance: and just for good measure :xmas 7: :rofl:
Come on then - spill the beans!
-
Ok who had a large handbag with them to get a Paws Inn babe and putting Aunty T back in her holiday home is not the best way but very :sneaky:
Who is it when are we being told pictures etc all required
I have a surprise bundle with a very badly broken leg he was in the trap this morning and off to the vets tomorrow - he is grey andwhite and called Charlie!!!!
-
Well Helen and Liz I cant say who its just not the done thing, however I can say that Blackberry is a very lucky girl who will be going to live with her elder sister from a previous litter who she hasnt met before, regular readers may now guess :rofl:
Hope Charlie fares well at vets Liz, what I want to know is How come I struggle to find names for days on end when yours arrives via trap and says "hi I`m Charlie" :rofl:
Told Rob to check Graces babies eyes as they should be opening, guess who is off to vet with kittens as well as 3 spays tomorrow.
lilys bloods tomorrow so everything crossed she has a home to go to if all well.
-
Oooh, I know, I know :wow:
:1st place: :censored: :sneaky: :shify: ;D
:crossed: for Lily's results :hug:
-
Just asked person to reveal herself and I couldnt have hoped for better.
Looks like i put my foot in it wrong pic, never mind :rofl:
-
Looks like it's time to make a confession.....I'm the lucky, lucky, lucky one who's becomming a Paws mother for the second time :)
So glad it's making you happy too T. I can assure you all that I'll post piccies and updates regularly.
It actually looks like Blackbery will be coming to us with another kitten the same age. Not another Paws one alas but a friend/colleague's unable to care for hers anymore (long story!). And both cheeky little black ones!
When my fiance and I moved into our new home in February we took our cat from our parents house where we'd previously both lived. When the summer months arrived it became very obvious that Scruff was missing outdoor access and was getting very down. It was with great reluctance that we decided Scruff would be better off back with my parents. They missed him awfully too. Happily he's settled back in with them like he'd never been away. I don't think the family of voles in the garden are very impressed with his return mind!
So that means once our new arrivals get here we'll have a total of three which is manageable for us.
Sending love and big :hug: to Charlie and Lilly and the girls who are having the speys.

Fingers crossed for Lily's bloods and the spays!
Great news about Blackberry, Lil Scruff!
Liz, poor Charlie-hope he'll be ok. Is he feral?
-
Am really pleased Blackberry has a home, she is such a stunner.
Fingers crossed for all the ops/bloods today
-
Oooo ouch, foot looks painful !
So glad about Blackberry, fingers crossed for the tests today, I have been waiting so patiently as I know T has, I just want to bring Kenny home with me :hug:
-
Adding my own good wishes for the blood results, and keep that foot warm Teresa. :hug:
-
Baby Charlie is no feral he is a purrpot - and off to the vets at 4pm
I have to say being a single kitten is so hard work - for me anyway!
-
........what I want to know is How come I struggle to find names for days on end when yours arrives via trap and says "hi I`m Charlie" :rofl:
:rofl: I'm like you T - never can think of the right name. With the exception of Korky all my cats have started out as one thing and then become another as their personality develops.
Hope the speys are straightforward and have everything crossed for Lily's blood test. :hug: to you
-
Have just been reading very start of this thread, when Pepsi and Chico arrived in March, I have had so much pleasure looking at pics of Pepsis baby grow up and when I think about it I am so happy because they went to their new homes in pairs, Blackberry who was alone is now part of a pair with Chico/Scamp and of course Pepsi is having the time of her life as an only cat. Life is good.
Have seen my consultant today and with luck I should be home late on Friday so will be able to devote my time to the cats again with renewed vigor, I cant wait to see my new babies first grey born at the Inn in a blue moon and I miss the event :rofl:
Wish I could get info on how Lily, Twinkle and Dusty are doing and more to the point waiting for these blood results is hard.
-
Teresa, words can't express how glad I am you stepped in when I posted for advice on Pepsi and Chico. I'd heard from a fair few Purrs members how good your rescue was and see pictures of the much improved states of cats that had been in your rescue.
It's amazing what a difference you made in those cats lives, and so many others.
-
Teresa, how did Dusty get on today?
-
Todays report and firstly for Janey
Dusty spayed, fitted with microchip and eaten her tea.
Twinkle the cerebral hypoplasia kitten has been spayed at 5 months , fitted with her microchip and has eaten her tea.
Rob took Graces babies to see Andy as their eyes would never have opened without help, Andy did the deed and released all the puss, hopefully Rob will cope with treating them now until I get home.
Finally Lily,( I pm`d Daisymac with the blood results first )
Lily spayed, microchipped and NEGATIVE Felv/Fiv, she has eaten and is recovering well away from her kittens, all being well she is off to her new home tomorrow evening.
This means that Kenny Dalglish (Lewis) can safely go live with Daisymac and Junior Officer Ripley, I am so happy and relieved but in truth the tears are flowing again for my little Morse.
-
Glad to hear Dusty is ok :) and the others of course.
but in truth the tears are flowing again for my little Morse.
:hug: I was flicking through the thread this morning to look for Blackberry photos and saw Morse, I had to quickly scroll past as I had a real soft spot for him :(
-
They'll be lots of tears for that little one, I've no doubt.
Good news about the results though. :)
-
So many tears for Morse, happiness for Kenny and the others :hug: :hug:
-
Brilliant news T, especially about Lily and her babies! :Luv2:
I know what you mean about little Morse tho-it was the saddest news. :(
-
Glad everyone is ok and the test results are clear.
Special thoughts for Morse...he was such a little character who stole everyone's hearts.
Hug x
-
So glad all the tests proved negative and everyone came through their various ops
Morse was a very special boy and will be very much missed by us all but especially everyone at the Inn
Hope Aunty T can escape the holiday home and be back where she belongs being Mummy T to everyone at Paws Inn :hug:
-
Great news about the test results :) Morse was such a special little boy, the angels needed him back :hug:
Fingers crossed for Friday :crossed:
-
Glad everyone is OK and negative test results - Morse was clearly too special for this world.
-
So pleased the blood results came back negative Teresa.x.
-
So pleased to hear the news about the test results ;D Little Morse may not have been with us long but he will always be remembered with love :hug:
-
Sarah (Lil Scruff) should have taken Blackberry this afternoon so just waiting for news that Sarah is rushed off her feet chasing kittens around.
Lily should also be arriving at her new home around now.

Aww Kenny is going to miss his mum :hug: mind you, bet she wont miss them much and will get a well earned rest x
-
Aww Kenny is going to miss his mum :hug: mind you, bet she wont miss them much and will get a well earned rest x
Kenny, Sweetpea and Marigold said farewell to their mum Lily yesterday morning.
Lily is actually going to be next door neighbour to 2 of my Tulas kittens who are now almost 10 years old, so she will be in good company.
-
So glad the test results were good ;D and fab news on the rehoming.
Little Morse will always be remembered with love and affection :hug:
Take care of yourself T - hope you are feeling better xxx
-
Blackberry and I got home fine and mother and baby are doing well :rofl:
She's amazingly affectionate just like big sis Chico/Scamp....but that goes without saying as I'm sure all the Paws kitties are so wee 'brought up' by T and Rob :) she was a little nervous at first but soon got over that. She's now asleep in the 'nursery' set up in the spare room. She's not met her big sis yet but has a blanket with her scent on and likewise Scamp's been sniffing the cat carrier. Thanks so much T for letting me become her mum :Luv:
Although we think Blackberry is a gorgeous name and suits her we're thinking of naming her 'Scrumpberry' as in 'Scrumptious Blackberry'. Our other black cats have names beginning with 'Sc' and even my friends' kitten who's set to be rehomed with us is called 'Scratchy' (from the Simpsons).
Will post some piccies soon :)
-
Sarah love her new name, am so glad she is being her usual affectionate self, really we must thank Claire and Julie for doing so much socialising.
-
I'm so sorry about Morse Teresa but glad the other babies are happy and well :)
With regards to identifying the all black kittens would non-toxic different shades of nail varnishes on their front claws help? I'm sure I saw that on a american rescue shelter tv episode once xx
-
Teresa - what a lovely day - so many babies going to their new homes (including the delectable Miss Marigold :Luv:). :hug: :hug: Hang on in there - not long til you get to go home too. ;)
-

I was thinking I need totally makeovers on them , perhaps 1 redhead, 1 pink, 1 purpleall over hairdo`s :rofl: doubt my eyesight could see coloured claws :rofl: but thank you for thinking about our little problem :hug:
Daisymac evidently Rob took Lily down to the summerhouse to say goodbye to Kenny, Marigold and Sweetpea, her parting words to them were " HISS GROWL HISS" in other words she was glad to see the back of them and be off to her new home.
The home I had in mind for Marigold and Sweetpea seems to have fallen through, my fault for being where I am.Will try harder when they release me.

Tried food colouring once useless on black coats, one litter of 5 I bottle fed were so alike I gave one a haircut, one a shoulder trim, and another a back trim with one other a tail trim, and lucky 5th one stayed as is :rofl:
-
So glad the test results are through and ok :wow:- Guess Mr Morsel was just too soeacial for this world. :(
:hug:

Hope you noticed that your favourite girl came through her spay ok.
-
Sorry to hear that Marigold and Sweetpea's potential home as fallen through. Perhaps it wasn't meant to be and it's a blessing in disguise?
Any news on your potential release date T?
Quick Scrumpberry update - so glad you like the name Teresa. I feel a bit bad about renaming her as you did so much for her and her family. As said in previous message her name in full is still 'Scrumptious Blackberry' so that will be used for official ceremonies :rofl:
She was a little confused at first over which was her bed and which her litter tray bless her but seems to have the hang of it now. She's been eating extremely well and is getting very confident in her new surroundings (sill just the spare room). At first when OH and/or I entered the room she'd cower in the corner (would come and give us a sniff and a snuggle within seconds however) but doesn't fear the door opening at all anymore. There's a gap of almost an inch of the spare room door where we've been letting the two sisters have a bit of a sniff. Scamp/Chico can tell there's something of interest behind the door and there's been a minor hiss which is to be expected but we're not going to rush further introductions.
Hope Lily's settling in is going well.
Have a good weekend all!
x
-
Think I am liking her official name even more;when you think about it Scamp did get to see her new born sister before she left the Inn I`m sure they will soon be climbing curtains together and running you ragged before they cuddle up together for a snooze.
Release date, they either release me today or I run, I kept clothes here and credit card this time so have proper means. :rofl:
Rob updated last night and is coping well with Graces kittens all bar one whose eye is causing concern,told him how to deal with it, so hopefully it will be OK till I get home later, they have been to vets.
He had me laughing about little Mac who is now eating solids, mum had been stealing all the food so Rob put dish in bed for her and dish outside bed for Mac, Daisy got wise to this and when she tried to steal Mac hissed his mum and raised a paw to her :rofl: he is one spoilt little man.
Am missing all the kittens/cats and longing to meet the newborns but for some strange reason I cant wait to catch up with Christopher and James now they have struck up such a lovely friendship.
Really must get naming committee to work this weekend.
-
Hope you get released 'officially' today T :hug:
-
Hope you get released 'officially' today T :hug:
Yes its official I am fit and well. Just sitting here waiting for prescriptions to come from pharmacy, I`m dressed, packed and ready. Bet it will be 8pm before I`m home.
-
;D glad to hear you're being released - hope you back home whilst it's still light so ou can inspect your various inmates!
-

I don't think the fact that it was dark would stop T from doing an inspection. :evillaugh: Glad to hear the escape is official. :hug: We want lots of pic now.
-
Well finally home and done full round of the inmates, all looking wonderful so I can sit and relax.
Managed to arrange a viewing for tomorrow morning but possibly taking in Chelsea`s friend that I couldn`t squeeze in last week.
ClaireR been this evening and attended to Chelsea`s kittens eyes and they look wonderful so I have been worrying for nothing.
Christopher and James are wonderful together but were pushing each other in front for affection.
All ferals came to see me except Hettie and Milly who were fast asleep in the greenhouse but looked up with an "O shes back".
-
Yay! Glad your home and have been able to do a "lap of honour" around all the furbabes :)
Please can you try to stay out for a little bit longer this time T...pretty please ;D

Oh thats great News Teresa.x.
They will be here for another 4/5 weeks yet until Mac is old enough for vaccinations.
More Good News Twinkle is Reserved, she will be going on 29th August to live with 2 former Paws Inn residents Bill and Ted.
A few more pics mainly for Daisymac of her new baby; also 1 couldnt resist of Monica and Wilma 2 of our ferals.
More pics later, really busy today but not overdoing things, just been for giant food shop (human) no oxygen no wheelchair :yayyy:
-
Excellent news T - at this rate Paws will be empty by Open Day!
I had a funny feeling little Mac wouldn't be 'left on the shelf' for long :rofl: are him and Daisy being homed together?
Scrumpberry and Scamp have had futher sniffs and Scamp's hisses subsiding so all going well. Will dig the camera out shortly.
x
-
I am so pleased for Twinkle and for Daisy and Mac, what wonderful news.
The pics of Kenny are stunning, I really cant wait to get my hands on that little boy, I say 'little' but he has grown so much since I last saw him.
Well done on the shopping T, no wheelchair and no oxygen, you must have felt completely liberated :hug: :hug:
-
Sarah Daisy and Mac are staying together.Glad the Scamp/Scrumpberry hisses are subsiding, will look forward to the pics.
Claire Kenny is huge and thinks he rules the roost, I put him in his place this morning by ramming (well not Quite) a milbemax down his throat :rofl: Andy vet coming out Tuesday to do a further 12 vaccinations including Kennys.
Heres some more pics, Sweetpea was very annoyed at me oover the Milbemax :rofl:
-
And a few more pics
-
And a few more pics
-
Set of pics on previous post, mum cat is Grace with her babies Faith, Hope, Charity and Job.
And final pic is a bit of a bummer but would appreciated opinions on sex please
-
Lovely lot of beauties :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: and my money's on a boy for the bummer :hee hee:
-
Just had a phonecall from Andy and Jan who adopted Pud the Cerebral Hypoplasia male kitten earlier this year, they had just noticed Twinkle on website and offered her a home, good job Julie put definate reserve on her this morning; the good thing is I now have a home lined up for the next CH one. They said Pud is absolutely wonderful, very very loving and great fun.
-
Welcome home Teresa great to hear you are doing so well :hug:
The photos are lovely and have put a huge smile on my face ;D so glad that Daisy and Mac are staying together and I am chuffed to bits that special little Twinkle has found her forever home.
Take care Hun and PLEASE dont overdo things xxx
-
Awww Twinkle has found her forever home - I'm really really happy , she's such a lovely girl! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
What fantastic news all round! :)
I think you should hand out Purrs business cards at rehomings so we can get their new owners to join and continue with the updates - especially whoever will be lucky enough to adopt little Marigold :Luv:
-
So pleased you are back home Teresa. :hug:
:Luv2: :Luv2: Hettie and :Luv: Kenny. :)x

Sitting here with nothing to do as ClaireR is busy slaving away trying to re arrange things to fit all the cat bedding in, our old bedding cupboard had to be converted into a catpen :rofl:
Chelsea the almost wild mum had a slight noise I picked up on yesterday and Claire tells me its been there all week, her eye is a bit watery this morning so she is obviously a flu carrier so need to watch her and babies who are a week old today very carefully.She is still pretty much unhandleable at minute and quite dangerous so I just hope things dont get any worse
Grace has turned into a graceful and gentle purring mum and her kittens eyes are really improving now thanks to Rob and ClaireR`s diligent.
We are carefully watching Melody`s kitten one of 2 runts, she is very quiet, its possible it is worm related as their bellys were huge, they had stronghold on 28 july so yesterday they had milbemax, my faith in stronghold is diminishing of late. It is also possible that it could be a bit of a viral thing as they were living in the coal shed with Grace and kittens who came in with infected eyes.
Twinkle has had a cuddle and play with her new mum Julie who is busy kitten cuddling outside .
Right ClaireR just banged on window I am to be put to slavery :rofl:
Pics of Graces babies, with post some of other kittens I missed out yesterday later.
-
glad to you are back home T, love that little faith! I've got a thing for unsymmetrical faces! Sweetpea looks like she may grow into a diva - how are Dusty's manners coming on?
-

She is almost a lady now :rofl:
few more pics
-
Only view these if you are a fan of Specsavers :rofl:
-
And finally.
-
Awww, teeny black kittens. :) Glad you're back home and I love that summerhouse, is that for the ferals?
-
Awww, teeny black kittens. :) Glad you're back home and I love that summerhouse, is that for the ferals?
The proper big summerhouse is mothers and kittens, its divided into 2 huge Pens.
The ferals use the greenhouse and the upstairs of the other chalet that has the outside run with Christopher and James in the basement.
The smaller pens are the isolation block in brick building.
There is another huge outdoor Pen which Ginga Ninja shares with his 2 pals.
What fantastic news all round! :)
I think you should hand out Purrs business cards at rehomings so we can get their new owners to join and continue with the updates - especially whoever will be lucky enough to adopt little Marigold :Luv:
That may be a thought for Purrs shop, purrsonalised biz cards :rofl:
-
I'm loving all these pictures. :Luv2: I have a soft spot for Grace and all her babies are beautiful, especially Job (its the black nose that does it for me :) ). And of course Marigold at play is irresistable. Oh, and mustn't forget Monica with her tongue out. ;D
-
Have really had enough of things this morning, all the time I was in hospital I had non stop emails from someone wanting me to take 2 cats, I didnt have room but moved heaven and earth to accomodate the pregnant one who gave birth 36 hours later, she is very wild and lacerated Robs hands so now I have to attend to her, this morning I felt so ill but managed her, and syringed extra feed into 2 kittens we are a bit worried about and I did Graces babies eyes. We gave the woman times when she could bring the other cat that goes with the wild one on both Saturday and Sunday, they said cat didnt show Sat am and they were going out SAt night, Sun am they were probably having a lie in, now its Monday and I am being barraged with one email after another, I have told her straight if this cat is wild she can go for spay and be put back, did she get the message no, emails asking what happens if we just leave her, feral colony of course, I feel as if I am being bullied into taking this cat when convienent for this woman, so have just sent I think 5th reply to her saying sorry need to rest offline;Also where the heck do these people think we get the money from it costs me over £40 for each spay and just lately we seem to be paying for rather a lot , Am I being mean?
Next email I am moving house and cant take my cat when can I bring it to you ? Replied saying sorry overloaded but gave good advice as to where to try and what to do,. another bully he replied ok I will just leave the cat when i move, have now asked for full details and had to leave emails well alone because its just so disheartening and horrible feeling bullied all the time.
-
Oh Teresa. People can be so :censored: :cuddle: Seldom the cats, just the people......
-
Thats one of the reasons we had to give up the feral cat charity.Taking cats in that we had no room for and no money for them because they expected us to help,even RSPCA used to give our number out.Don't feel bad saying no Teresa,you can only do so much.x.
-
Teresa, you aren't the baddie. People using the "oh, then we'll just leave the cat" or worse are the people at fault. They've taken on an animal (I'm not specifying cats, because people do it with all sorts of lovely critters) or fed it until it became what they see as an inconvenience and then can't be bothered to wait until a safe alternative to them having this animal is given. You're doing your best and there's only so much one rescue can do. The amount of help you've given cats this year and every year since you started rescue is phenomenal, don't let them distract you from that.
By the way, wanted to say that I love the idea of the chalet house being like super deluxe "apartment living" for the cats!
-
Well I have just about hit rock bottom, just been out to check on everything and found a dead kitten, have rung vet and told him to come here this afternoon instead of tomorrow, he said he will get here for 1ish.
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: Sorry you're having asuch a rotten day T. Thinking of you and hoping things improve rapidly and all the other inmates are fine.. :hug: And as others have said, do try not to give in to bullies however much you want to help their kitties. You've already done /are doing far more than most and really don't need the extra stress right now. :hug:
-
Lots of *Hugs* T
I reallt don't know what to say
It truely is a horrid Monday
Just know that you are doing all you can and more xxxx
-
Sorry to hear you're having such a rubbish day sweetie, please do not let those idiots get you down :hug: You do such an amazing job day in day out, but you can only do so much. There will always be morons out there who just threaten to dump animals etc, you cannot hold yourself resposible or accountable to any of them :hug:
You are a true shining star missus, and don't you ever think otherwise. If I hear you asking again if you're being mean, I shall have to tell you off for being a naughty Auntie T :) :hug:
-
Sending you :hug: T.
The idiots who are mucking you round and trying to bully you into taking more cats probably assume that you're funded by the RSPCA. It must be so frustrating... :censored:
So sorry to hear about the little kitten. Was it one of the litter who had slightly watery/crusty eyes? Poor little thing. And poor you. :(

-
Well I have just about hit rock bottom, just been out to check on everything and found a dead kitten, have rung vet and told him to come here this afternoon instead of tomorrow, he said he will get here for 1ish.

-
sending you loads of hugs, if you want me to repsond to the woman that keeps emailing you about the other cat send me the messages and I will sort :hug: :hug:

Ok managed to get my calm head on and heartbroken one shoved in that already overloaded bottle. I want so much to grieve for Minimopsical , Morse and now this little one but just dont have that luxury, just have to concentrate on the ones who can be helped.
Andy has been and examined every kitten and Mum cat, taken temperatures all kittens normal, mum cat has an enlarged lymph node so she has had antibiotic jab and we have some to give kittens if we feel we need them, Andy cannot at this stage find anything; He has taken the body and I have asked him to do a quick Post mortem. the kitten that has died is one of Melody`s 5 black girls, one of 2 runts.
On to the others, I am sure Daisymac will be relieved to hear that Kenny Dalglish has had his first vaccination along with his sisters Marigold and Sweetpea. Dusty has had her first vaccination, and James has had his vaccination along with a microchip, Christopher and Olly have both had boosters.
Andy was really pleased with the improvement in .Graces kittens eyes .
We also discussed some problems with Chelsea wild mum and Andy is going to give me Antibiotics to put in her food if I am still worried tomorrow.
Daisymac thanks for offer I have checked emails and no more from woman so far, just the man sending description of cat he plans to leave behind, big mistake hes also sent a picture. I always coped with everything in my stride and never moaned before but with being ill I will admit to feeling very useless and almost like I am being punished for being ill.
-
So sorry about little one T :hug:
Please don't blame yaself, you wonderful rescues are the heros' and time and time again take care of cats that very irresponsible and uncaring humans don't want to anymore. :( >:( I honestly don't know how all you rescues don't get soo upset with these people. I would loose my patience very quickly and prob say quite a few things and not get anywhere! You are all stars and all have so much courage.
My loves goes out to ya :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Not a realistic solution, but shame you couldn't send him a photo of you hooked up to your oxygen and a brief message saying "if you cause me to suffer a collpase from your heartless behaviour, I have your details and will pursue this all the way....." :hug: :hug:
-
:shy: A collpase is like a collapse, only worser. ;)
-
Can only echo what others have said T, you do so much and have helped so many cats and kittens - and people too - but there are limits to what we can all do. I've been doing the phone for 3 weeks and it's been a real strain to have to say we can't take anything in and although the answer phone message says we are full people are still leaving messages expecting us to miraculously find somewhere for these cats to go >:( People who resort to emotional blackmail are a nightmare because they know anyone in rescue will want to help so you end off squeezing another one in :Crazy:.
So sorry to hear about the little one. Please look after yourself T and don't let the :censored: get you down :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
:shy: A collpase is like a collapse, only worser. ;)
well that made me smile, hope it worked for you as well T :hug:

Thanks All, ClaireR paid a suprise visit this afternoon, she has been working away today so it must have been a 200mile journey at least for her, I would be lost without her to talk sense into me and help with the scrubbing of course, anyway I feel much better for seeing her.
I also called at vets to pick up antibiotics for tomorrow and when I paid Julys bill I had forgotten to pick up the itemised statement, going through it in the car I noticed Angel (3rd cat from coal house who I paid to have spay and returned)turns out Angel was castrated, had a call from Social worker this evening while Claire was still here, checking how things were going with the 2 mums and 9 kittens so I had to tell her that Peace had died, I also said about Angel being castrated, well she has told me that Angel is not only Melody`s son but also the father of her 5 kittens, so its still watch them all like hawks but it does make things more understandable.
Chelsea my wild girl has allowed me to stroke her 3 times today, always when she is eating, Claire was in Pens with me and I told Claire I needing to change bedding, well as quick as lighting pulled box out and shut pen, Claire put in nice clean vet bed and sexed them while I exposed their botties. 1 black male, 1 black female, 1 grey/while female.
Mum was fine till kittens cried but got box back in ok and mum is now protecting them.She`ll probably give me what for later.
All the other inmates appear fit, well and happy.

Aunty T you can only do so much, please put your wonder woman costume back in the wardrobe! ;)
Having had a brother and sister mating and then loosing Gem and 3 of her kittens to FIP can only keep paws crossed for the wild bunch, I have Beijing her gorgeous tortieness as a reminder of her Mum and of course have her father Brodie to :hug:
Our newbies are all doing well Miss Skye from Sunny Harbour is having sleeping partners for a week as Robins parents arrived score is Skye 2 fingers - Grandad 2 plasters :evillaugh: - he did advise it was all his fault ;D :rofl:
Baby Charlie has them mezmorised and the Clan Cats are putting on a good show with Turker bribery :shocked:
I can only echo that the ones with you T are the lucky ones and will blossom for you like roses or a good wine so please be assured you are doing a wonderful job and have just got out of your holiday home so please take care :hug:

Well mum cat had moved her babies to an oil store in a chicken factory, she had found an empty drum with reams of hosepipe around the top climbed in and made her nest right at the bottom. Set the trap in the store but the smell of the pilchards was lost amid the smell of the oil. Eventually I put a bit of food in a dish and put it near the top of the hose for her to smell and as she ventured out I scruffed the poor love straight into a crush cage, managed to lean in hole and could only just reach babies but got all 6.
Our little tabby mum is not the feral we thought but one very grateful skinny kitten, she has 6 babies that are about 6 days old, we think 3 girls and 3 boys 4 are black/white the other 2 tabby/white.
Ha Ha Janey see how efficient :rofl: I`ve been
-
Bravo Teresa! :wow: :wow: :evillaugh: You're indefatigable! A credit to the Royal Navy in a Horatio Hornblower kind of way. ;) ;D You will find the way!
They're gorgeous. poor Mum looks a bit scared yet relieved - and aren't her babies beautiful!
-
Poor little girl, she shouldn't be having babies at all, let alone at her age :(
Pleased that she is safe and sound at Paws Inn now though :) :hug:
-
Blimey! well done ;D and they certainly do look grateful you can see little mumcat with her tail up there, very happy :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
WOW T, do you ever stop!!! Such an amazing lady , thank God for you! :hug: :hug:
Latest mum with babies is very sweet-hope they'll all be ok :Luv2:
Sorry to hear the bad news but hope all are well now.
I've taken a tabby to the vets this morning on behalf of CP, after a lovely lady had coaxed her into the house a couple of weeks ago. Thank heavens she did-she was about 2 weeks pregnant so was spayed last week. She also had ear mites. She was so tiny-i would've thought about 6 months max but vet reckons she's about a year old! Doesn't bear thinking about if she hadn't been found........... :(
-
So glad you got them T and how happy she looks with her sheepskin blankie ;D
I have the boobs for wonderwoman!!! :rofl:
-
T you are amazing !, I am speechless that you have been out trapping today and you were in hospital 5 days ago !
Love the new babies, cant wait to meet them all xxx
-
How are all your charges this morning Teresa? :hug:
-
Teresa , you are amazing - she looks so happy to be safe and cared for. :hug:
-
Kittens are cuties, but Mumcat is STUNNING! I seem to have a bit of a soft spot for not only pure blacks, but also cats being allowed to have kittens way too young. :shy: She's got a lovely pointed face, hasn't she?
Hope all the feline family at Paws Inn are doing well and the same applies to the hoomans. ;)
-
Worried we havent seen you all day T, you best not be back in hospital :hug: :hug:
-
Oh I do hope not..............
-
I have just spoken to Teresa and unfortunately she is back in hospital, she was rushed in last night by ambulance, she has Pneumonia and is very weak and in a lot of pain, she is online and will try and post and reply to PM's but it may be a few days until she is up to it.
Do you know all T could say was at least the Mum and 6 babies were saved yesterday, I am full of admiration for such a special lady.
We are also not to worry as T has given specific instructions to Rob on what each cat needs :Luv2: she has also assured me she will break out before the Paws Inn open day :hug: :hug:
-
Oh No :(
I know you hate it in there Teresa but please stay in for as long as possible, seems to me that they keep letting you out too early and it's not doing your health any good :hug:
Can't believe you were out rescuing/trapping the same day... except I can because you're such an amazing person :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So sorry to hear this, i really hope she soon starts to feel better :hug: :hug: to you Teresa
-
Oh no. :doh: Hoping for a massive improvement and that Teresa feels a lot better soon. :hug:
-
So Aunty T is back in her other holiday home - me thinks there is an attraction - perhaps ferals near the kitchens and she is scoping the place again!
We are sending get well vibes for our Aunty T from all here at the Clan :hug:
-
Oh no....................... please ,pleaese get well soon! :'(
-
Sending get well soon wishes from me and the Ginger Tornado :hug:
-
How've you been today Teresa? Hope you're gaining some strength back :hug:
-
It sounds like you do a fantastic job and have had a lot on your plate! Only seen the last few pages ; The black cat and kittens is grogeous , as is the young cat!
Well done on all you do

-
Teresa, am sending you extra hugs and snoozles this morning. :hug: :hug:
-
Morning Teresa, hope you're feeling better this morning and all the furries are well under Rob's care :hug: :hug:
-
Morning T, sorry to hear you're in hospital again, but hopefully with a bit of cage rest you'll be breaking out and ship shape very soon :hug: :hug:
-
hope you are doing ok T, sorry to hear that you are back inside!
-
It was not overdoing things that got me back here but the extra strong length of elastic the nurses attached to me :rofl: seriously I have been told that even if I had stayed in bed the problem would have arisen however I will be home in plenty of time for Open Day, doc says maybe end next week.
The important updates
Rob tells me all the cats and kittens are doing well, I think he is quite enjoying caring for so many mums and babies,he is really smitten with the little mum and her 6 kittens we rescued from the oil drum on Tuesday, I suggested we call her Olive, turns out she is called Bonny, I told him she was skin and bone not bonny he replied she would soon be Bonny when he had fed her up :rofl: Even Chelsea the semi wild mum is being good for him. He tells me Grace and babies are fine and Daisy and Mac are wonderful.He is coping with medicine for Melody and her litter and tells me the 4 girls have been climbing the pen bars and running around like hooligans. All others are fine.
-
Make sure they don't let you out until you are properly fixed this time T...you can't miss the open day...I'm still hoping to come up for it.
Glad everyone at the Inn is ok, I can't believe how many babies you've got in now!! All those little black ones are like mini Soaps :)
I'm on the lappy so actually got to look at some of the piccies :)
-
Lovely update T! What a star Rob is! He deserves a few of these! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: See you on 28th! :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Sorry to hear you're back in jail T ;) get well soon but plenty of rest ya hear :sneaky: and keep us updated :hug:
-
Great updates in both respects. Good to know you'll be out again soon. :)
-
I'm so relieved to see your update T and I'm sure as are many other Purrs forum readers!
Scrumpberry and Scamp are currently chasing each other around the sofa and pictures will follow once they decide to stand still :rofl:
They will be joined on Sunday by Scratchy (my friends kitten whom I've previously mentioned who's coming to live with us) so hope they're not going to mind sharing a 'hot young man'! Scamp/Chico's met him before and they hit it off straight away so here's hoping all will go well!
Sending you stacks of :hug: and vibes,
Sarah
PS we have family over this weekend but I'd love to come over and scrub some more cages at the Inn sometime very soon!
-
Glad you are on the mend - now behave and make sure you gets well! :hug:
-
Sorry to hear you are back in hospital T, I do hope you bounce back quickly, and fingers crossed everyone is fine in your abscence.
-
The news from the Inn is encouraging, Chelsea has not eaten Robs fingers and seems to have reached an understanding with him, I hope so because I have told him he needs to get in and check 3 babies eyes. Graces 4 kittens have had their first taste of solid food today. Daisy and her son Mac are thriving; Bonny and her 6 kittens think they are in heaven they are so grateful for everything. Melody and her remaing 4 kittens appear to be eating well. Christopher and James are now happy to share a food bowl, Dusty at long last is eating wet food, Marigold,Sweetpea, Kenny dalglish are all fine as are Twinkle, Ginja Ninja, Noodles, Grasshopper, and all the adults both domestic and feral.
Been given some booze to use for prizes on Open Day which is a blessing so all in all things looking up.Rob is full of how wonderful Bonny is, he says the second he opens the pen she is there for a fuss, we werent able to get a box to put babies in so they are on vet bed and tend to roll about Rob says Bonny simply picks them up in her mouth and drops them ontop of the heap of sibling kittens.This little mum is something very special.
-
So pleased to hear things are A1 at the Inn, Teresa. Hoping things are also on the up at the hospickal. :hug: :hug: Daddy Rob sounds like he's doing a sterling job ;) ;D Paddy sends his love. :Luv:
-
Not good news, another of Melodys kittens was found dead this morning, vet called out yet again nothing found to be wrong.
-
Very sorry to hear this Teresa :( :hug:
-
Poor Melody. :( Sorry to hear that.
-
Lovely update yesterday, Teresa, but so sorry to hear about Melody's kitten today.. :'( RIP little one
:hug: :hug: :hug: to you
-
The not knowing the cause will be giving you cause for worry as well as the actual loss of the little one. Sending much love your way Teresa. :hug:
-
Not much i can say , but :hug: :hug: :hug:
Sleep tight little one. :(
-
The not knowing the cause will be giving you cause for worry as well as the actual loss of the little one.
Could it be because Melody's SON is the FATHER to the kittens, or have i misread that? It's so sad, whatever the reason. :(

It may well be the case ,yes Shirley you read it correctly, I have instructed Rob to arrange a post mortem; I take all my charges very seriously and this is just too much of a worry right now.We lost the smallest runt last week, yesterday it was the biggest brightest happiest girl of the litter.I am lying in bed worrying myself sick and waiting for tonights visiting wondering what I will face.
-
So sorry to hear this T :hug:
-
What awful news. :hug: So sorry to hear that.
-
A 3rd kitten has gone down and is hospitalised, vet is checking blood sugars this evening, it is looking as if it is something inbred. We do not hold out much hope for her.
-
This is so sad. I really hope the little one pulls through but can understand your cynicism. If Mumcat and Dadcat are so closely related, the genetics are likely to be weak I suppose. Really hope the little one can fight her problems.
-
:'( Very sad :hug:
-
so Sad, sending all the good vibes I can :hug:
-
sorry to hear about the little ones x x
-
Very sorry to hear this T :hug: x
-
perhaps this sad outcome can be used to persuade some of those careless owners who allow, or want, their cats to breed to think again >:(
-
So, so sorry to hear this, T. You must be devastated. :'( :hug: :hug: :hug: to you and Rob.
-
Sending you hugs x
-
Oh Teresa, i am sorry :(
Sending you :hug: :hug:
RIP little one.
-
So sorry to hear this Teresa :( :hug:
RIP little ones, taken too soon xx
-

You'd think wouldn't you? :(
-
So very sorry T. :'( :hug:
-
Sorry for the Loss T its never easy when they are so young :hug:
Having been through the heartache of a brother and sisiter mating and loosing Mum Gem and 3 of the kittens - Star, Cairo and Shanghai it was a devestating time here at the Clan but on the bright side I have darling Brodie her brother and my ginger chin warmer and gems most precious gift her surviving kitten Baby Beijing a.k.a Baby Gorgeous so sometimes they let some stay this side of the bridge
Hope you are feeling better today T and planning the big escape again - PS what is the attraction feral cats at the ward windows or a nice looking doctor! ;)
-
So sorry you're having such a hard time T. :hug: I have everything crossed for Melody's remaining kittens, especially the poorly one.
-
Rob just came in for afternoon visiting to bring me the bad news that little Minnie died this morning. Vet Geoff managed to take bloods which reveal a lack of white blood cells and point to liver problems, he has sent off the parts needed for post mortem and hopefully we will have answers by Friday.
Rob spoke to vet Andy re first kitten Peace who died last week, Andy did PM and results inconclusive but indicative of Leukemia.
Melody, Minxy and Marmite all appear well and are eating well.
More bad news Dusty who took a bad reaction to her vaccine is now hospitalised on a drip and having blood tests, though she is not in danger.
Thank you to everyone who has posted,it really is appreciated, its just so hard being here and unable to do anything.
On the plus side we have lots of babies who have all opened their eyes for the first time, 3 of Chelsea`s and 6 of Bonny`s, I am told that Graces kittens are having practise boxing matches and that Daisy and Mac are wonderful as are Sweetpea Marigold and Kenny and all adults and of course Twinkle.
-
I am sorry that Minnie didn't make it. The poor souls, if they'd had a chance anywhere I think it would be Paws Inn. Sadly, interbreeding can have tragic results.
I can only imagine how frustrating it is being in hospital while all this is happening.
Hope Dusty improves quickly.
Great to hear the good news too!
-
So sorry to hear about Minnie, Teresa.
RIP little sweetie xxxx
Hope Dusty soon recovers and lovely to hear some good news about the others :hug:
-
So sorry about Minnie, I hope Dusty gets better and is home soon :hug: :hug:
Are you still on course to be escaping on Friday T ? :hug: :hug:
-
So sorry to hear about Minnie and the other little ones - they had the very best chance possible at the Inn and although their lives were too short they knew love and TLC. RIP little ones xxx
Big :hug: for you Teresa lots of get well vibes coming your way and I hope you are all better soon xxx
-
sorry things are going badly T, hope the lovely dusty perks up soon

Love all the baby pics and cant wait to meet them, esp Mac, I fell in love with his Mum Daisy last time I visited Paws Inn
-
Awww - Teresa! How wonderful are they? I can't choose any favourite - they're all amazing! :wow:

So beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaautiful! I want the black kitties!!!
I would be a rubbish cat rescue. I would end up owning 500 cats!

LOL Daisymac, i'm sure you'll squeeze him in somewhere :rofl: He has grown a bit since we met him hasn't he :rofl:
Teresa, fab photos, such beautiful furries :Luv2:
-
Are Minxy's ears real? :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
*Giggles at the idea of a cat ear shopping....* They're all so lovely.
-
Beautiful photos of gorgeous babes :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
They're all lovely T :Luv:
Tan it looks like he's chomping on a little cigar :rofl:
-
Lovely pics T. Its Grace and her babies who do it for me, although I have my eye on one of Bonny's kittens as well. :Luv2:
Hope today is a good day at the Inn with everyone well. Sending lots of positive vibes for Dusty and her mumT to be back where they belong soon. :hug: :hug:
-
Are Minxy's ears real? :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Poor love was so undernourished she will hopefully grow into those ears one day, you can still see remnants of bald circles around eyes due to vitamin deficiency.
Tan you cant have Mac, he and his mum Daisy are Reserved, they will be staying together.
They're all lovely T :Luv:
Tan it looks like he's chomping on a little cigar :rofl:
I suppose he does look like Churchill :rofl: thats actually a lump of food, but just incase
:no smoking:
Carol when Grace arrived she was so aggressive, we decided just protecting her babies and I named her Grace, never has a name been more appropriate she has blossomed into the sweetest gentlest girl, as for her kittens well thats a different matter :rofl:
Daisymac stop worrying about Kennys size, we can get him kitted out with a saddle and you can ride him home :rofl: you see with a little thought everythings possible.
Its lovely that everyone is enjoying the pics. Thank you All.
-
Now Kenny with a saddle on and me riding him down the M40 would be a sight :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I love all the photos, cant wait to meet them all in the fur :hug: :hug:
-
No news tonight, visiting is as good as cancelled except emergencies only. It seems my ward is closed due to C.Diff. Ought to start a book on whether I get it or not, nurse said to me " you will be ok as you are in sideroom :rofl: thats exactly what happened at Christmas when they gave me Norovirus.
-
Cor T don't they know that your waiting for urgent updates on all the babies! You is a VIP!!
-
Just thought I'd post a couple of pics of Scamp/Chico and Blackberry/Scrumpberry for you all and of course for T.
My friends' kitten has taken up full time residence with us. Unfortunately she was a bit of a silly-billy and didn't think at first that her landlord might not take too dearly to her keeping cats in the property :doh: As well as that it appears that her daughter is allergic to cats so all in all she reluctanctly had to look at rehoming him. And as I adore black cats and have others of a similar age you can guess what happened!
So here we are... top pic shows Scrumpberry in the green box with Scamp showing off her op scar with new friend Scratchy (named after the Simpsons - he's thankfully not a 'scratcher') enjoying having a hug with his new big sis :hug:
Second pic shows an empty mango crate being mis-used! From left to right: Scrumpberry; Scratchy; Scamp (with eyes slightly open).
Sorry to hear that you can't have visitors at the moment T. Any news on a potential release date?
Sarah x
-
:Luv: :Luv: Argh! Serious black cat envy; what stunning feline babies. :)
-
What a Tonic, I love the pic with all 3 curled up together.It seems they wasted no time in getting to know each other.
Half hoping for release tomorrow.
-
How lovely to see all three of them so close after such a short time :) I predict you will have many years of treble-trouble fun ahead :Luv:
Fingers crossed for the imminent release Teresa :hug:
-
:shify: Aunty T - we want you out of there - Paddy says "befores dey be fecktin yoo wiv stuff". Quite. Couldn't have put it better! Hope the release day is still going ahead. Big hugs from me and The Padmeister. :hug: :hug:
Lil-Scruff - wonderful piccies. Aren't they just glorious kitties?!! :wow:
-
Crossing everything for a breakout -today!!!!
Lil Scruff , lovely photos - how on earth do you tell them apart! :Crazy:

Was just thinking Scrumpberry was born in one of those green boxes :Luv:
-
Fingers and toes crossed that you are out later today T :hug:
Definite black cat envy going on here too, absolutely beautiful :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Doctors just been, I am being released later today; just hope I am strong enough to cope with everything thats going on right now; usually I am so looking forward to going home, this time I feel scared of what may be to come.
-
So glad you are going home, you will be able to cope this time, just try and take things a bit easier :hug: :hug:
-
T so glad they are giving you time out for good behaviour!
You will get home and instill the special sprirt that has been missing from the Inn you will cope - its the way you are - your heart may break but in each break the is a special baby that has for however long its time had the special honour of being a Paws Inn baby who was wanted and loved even from a distance by us and by you hands on even if it was the staff!
You can and will go on Aunty T - its just you have more down hills than straight road at the moment :hug:
-
Liz is right, Teresa. :hug: :hug: Don't get yourself worked up. Concentrate on getting out. Pprrrffpppt? :)

Hi everyone,
I have been over at the Inn today getting ready for the Summer Open Day next weekend.
I have some sad news to share with you all - I am afraid that we had to take the decision to have Dusty PTS yesterday morning. She had been going down hill and the advice from the vets was that she would not recover. As you can imagine, Teresa and myself are devastated by the news and we are awaiting further tests from the vets to give us more of a clue about what caused this. The vets haven't ruled out FIP as it seems that the vaccine has had a really bad effect on her. We are awaiting the results from her post mortem as deaths like this are not common and especially not at Paws Inn. The one positive thing is that due to our isolation policy she has not been in contact with any other cats within the Inn.
We do however have some good news - Marigold and Sweetpea will be going to their new home tomorrow afternoon.
Cxx
-
So sorry to hear about Dusty :hug: :hug: :hug:
Pleased for Marigold and Sweetpea, Kenny wont be happy with me though, he will be on his own for a week until I get him on Saturday, but I guess he will need to build up strength to cope with JO Ripley who just wants to play with someone bless him.
T and Claire, thinking of you, see you Saturday x
-
So sorry , RIP Dusty xxxx :'(
-
Aw, so sorry to hear about Dusty :'( :hug: :hug:
-
We here at the Clan are so sorry for the loss of Dusty - if it was FIP then you have done the kindest thing for her as we did for our darling Gem :hug:
-
So sorry to hear about Dusty. :(
Glad that Marigold and Sweetpea will be off to their new homes soon.
-
I am so, so sorry to hear about Dusty, as you know T I had a huge soft spot for her, thank you for taking her in when she needed someone :hug:
-
Claire and Teresa, so sorry to hear the sad news about beautiful Dusty :hug:
-
Teresa. Am very sorry to learn about Dusty. :hug:
On a brighter note, someone is going to get a wonderful handful with Marigold and Sweetpea. :)
-
Such sad news about Dusty :( but great news about Marigold and Sweetpea ;D
Hope you're ok T, will see you on Sat :hug: :hug:
-
Thanks for the update Claire hun :hug:
:'( So sorry about Dusty :'( She will be a restful place now. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Hope you are ok T and all the other babes at the inn
:hug: :hug:
-
Post Mortem on little Minnie came back yesterday and again is inconclusive, cause of death was septicemia but cause of that not obvious, no diarhoea so unlikely it is a result of one of the digestive bacteria, Andy vet is still convinced Leukemia and will take mum in for blood testing but is refusing to spay her at present, so we are still no wiser.
Sorry just not able to find cheery words at present.
-
Only just caught up with this, glad that you're home Teresa :hug:
I am so sorry to hear about Dusty :'( :'(
RIP sweetie xx
-
Busy day today, could no longer cope with uncertainty over Melody so she has been in to vet and blood tested, Felv and Fiv Negative.Vet says her lymph nodes still up so ghe is not happy to spay or vaccinate for at least another 2 weeks. No results back on Dusty yet.
Daisy and Mac have been to vet and had their first vaccinations a few days early, the reason being their new owners want to take them home on Sunday, vet very happy with their progress so all being well they will leave us at 2 on Sunday afternoon.
Twinkle will also be off to her new home on Sunday and Of course Kenny will leave us on Saturday so that will clear 3 pens.
Looking forward to Open Day on Saturday and seeing everyone.
-
glad rehoming is picking up T, still can't believe the lovely dusty has gone, I'd been dropping her into the conversation with oh every chance I got, I hope you get some answers anyway
-
Just popping by to say hope you can get some answers soon, teresa. And to say how "jelluss" I am for all those lovely peeps who will be attending the Paws Inn Open Day, pockets open and at the ready :evillaugh:
Hugs to you Aunty T. :hug: :hug: Paddy sends a "ppprrffppppt" :)
-
Fantastic news about Melody and the rehoming ones-FINALLY something to smile about! ;D It's been so depressing, all over the country lately-lets hope this is the turning point for all the other wonderful rescues as well! :hug: :hug:
See you on Saturday T-hope the weather will be as good for you as it was for Cramar last Sunday! It was a scorcher!
-
This morning has been chaotic with yet more new arrivals, stray cat had gone into womans house through cat flap and given birth under sink unit :Crazy: woman brought cat and kittens here this morning and we decided to rush cat to the vet, her temp is high, and she was hunched up, she is disinterested in her kittens, was heaving fleas and earmites, so Cherry as we have called her has had injections of antibiotic and metacam and been treated for all her hangers on; hopefully the injection will kick in and she will take some interest in her babies all boys who are about 5 days old.
-
Oh poor little soul! :( Hope Cherry and her babies will flourish in yuor safe hands, Teresa. :hug:
-
I think I better run away, I promised not to take any more in and just answered another desperate call, 2 more kittens on their way here and nowhere to put them. I should add that I have also refused 3 cats already today so am using the word no when safe to do so.
-
Oh no, i spoke too soon on my last post! :( Hope Cherry and her babies will be ok (and the other two on their way!) :hug:
-
Does anyone know the best way to kill a telephone? I darent answer mine anymore, finally got a collapsible set up in living room for the 2 kittens who have been described as a health hazard, they were bought from a BSB 2 weeks ago and miraculously their arrival has caused the woman to become pregnant, naturally kittens are a danger to her unborn child, I tried to educate but gave up when I realised what a lucky escape these boys were having from such a vile woman.
Next one on the way is a tiny kitten found dumped down a country lane, yet another collapsible needed.
At least I will empty some Pens over the weekend and be able to do away with collapsibles.
-
In one respect I'm saddened to hear about all the new arrivals 'dumped' on you Teresa but on the other hand those really are the lucky ones as you just know they will have a bright future and the very best care :hug:
I know this will probably fall on deaf ears but PLEASE try and take it just a little bit easy!
-
Well tiny kitten thats so tiny he fits into the palm of your hand arrived and I couldnt take my eyes off the couples hands, man told me on phone his hands were small , my eyesight must be really bad because mouse sized kitten I expected is ginormouse about 10-11 weeks so we have called him Tiny, he is black :rofl:. The other 2 from this morning are now called Ant and Decibel (Dec for short) :rofl: Ant is black/white, Dec is Ginger/white.
Cherry the mother cat has still not eaten but she is now feeling well enough to feed her kittens, she is about 3years old and a dark tortie, her kittens are all boys 2 black/white and 1 ginger as yet unnamed, as they we born under sink unit I did think of Captain Plugwash, Sergeant Ubend and Private leaky sadly those names have been binned by someone with more sense :rofl:
This afternoon in a bid to escape the phone we took Ant, Dec , Tiny, Marmite and Minxy for their first vaccs so another job done.
Just realised its Open Day on Saturday and so far all I have done is fold some tombola tickets and buy some serviettes :rofl: tomorrow I will try harder.
Helen dont worry I am really taking things at a sensible pace and feeling stronger now than I did at the weekend, I think much of the latest medication is finally kicking in.
-
I cant wait to meet them all, you have to have the names Captain Plugwash, Sergeant Ubend and Private leaky they are brilliant :rofl:
-
Wow - all go isn't it! Glad to hear you're feeling stronger today T :hug: Not good hearing about the vile people mind!
Will be able to meet the new bubba's on Saturday? They all sound gorgeous - as does new mum Cherry :Luv2:
See you at the weekend all - looking forward to meeting some Purrs members face to face.
x
-
So glad they are safe hun :Luv:
Wonderful names ;D
I wonder how many little ones will slip into guests jumpers at the weekend! I would have to wear a big ski jacket in the hope you woun;t notice! ;) :evillaugh:
Love to all of you :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Tan - you can get special vests that you can use on aircraft - loads of pockets so you can get lots of things in them and therefore cut down on hand baggage ;) :evillaugh:
Teresa - I love the crazy names too :) Don't overtire yourself. You'll need all your energy to keep Daisymac in check tomorrow :lol2:
-
Been having a good think about these names and have decided that Captain Plugwash, Sergeant Ubend and Colonel Leaky are good, so mad as the names are they make me smile and thats important. Mum Cherry seems much brighter this morning and has eaten overnight and enjoyed a stroke, she is happily feeding her kittens now so huge sighs of relief.
Ant, Dec and Tiny are all bright this morning after their vaccination yesterday.
The really good news is that Melody`s kittens Marmite and Minxy seem really bright this morning after their vaccinations yesterday, we will continue to keep a very close eye on them.
Tan - you can get special vests that you can use on aircraft - loads of pockets so you can get lots of things in them and therefore cut down on hand baggage ;) :evillaugh:
Teresa - I love the crazy names too :) Don't overtire yourself. You'll need all your energy to keep Daisymac in check tomorrow :lol2:
Such a shame we have an offer on tomorrow only, free cat carrier for Tena ladies called Tan adopting kittens :rofl: :rofl:
I think Daisymac will think she is in heaven when she see`s all the babies, so no worries and I intend to set her to work along with certain other unsuspecting Purrs members :rofl:
I am not overtiring myself, I am pacing myself carefully and now doctors have found what else is ailing me and new medication has kicked in things are looking up and I do feel a little stronger each day, only trouble is knees swelling again but got hospital appt on 3rd sept so no problem.
-
Sooooooooooo excited for tomorrow - all those new babies to cuddle!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Aw, those names are great - maybe a little crackers but there's certainly nothing wrong with that (says the girl with four* all black cats with names beginning with 'Sc').
I guess when prospective parents come to view or when they get put up on the Paws website they could just be referred to their 'first' names is Captain, Sargeant and Colonel :rofl:
* Three at my house but reluctantly the elder one, Scruff, is with my parents where he can indulge in the great outdoors. We used to have another black boy named Skol (almost 'Sc'!) but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. Bizarrely it was within about 10 days of his passing that Scruff, the then stray, showed up and adopted us. I most definately think Scruff was 'guided' to us by Skol from beyond 'the bridge'. :)
-
Lovely update Teresa! Can't wait to see them all tomorrow! :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
Looks like you need a few of these!
Marmite and Minxy are just fab names.
-
Just couldnt resist taking some sneaky pics when I was fussing cats instead of getting ready for tomorrow.
Chelsea the wild girl is being rather nice to me lately. Cherry who arrived at deaths door yesterday is as bright as a button and growled when I went near her, a really good sign she is protecting her babies. Bonnys babies are so tiny and running round the pen creating havoc, we even had attempts at lapping solids this morning, they are just 3 weeks old so look really funny.
-
Wow, Cherry: :Luv: Love Olly, looks like a Kitler! :) Great photos.
-
well that was a good start put Ant and Dec and Olly in instead of Bonnys.
And now I dont know what i`ve put here :rofl:
-
Good Lord , look at the size of Mac!!!!!! :Crazy:
-
Beautiful photos-LUV Cherry! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
'Grace & babies' reminds me just what a handful kittens are - they look like mini-spidermen :evillaugh: :Luv2:
-
Lovely updates T. Glad you are feeling stronger, you'll need to be with all those little uns around. Ant and Dec are gorgeous and the sink family names are brilliant. :rofl:
Sending lots of good wishes for a succesful day tomorrow. I'd love to be there with me big discrete cat napping bag. I'd be spoiled for choice.
-
I only had time to take one picture yesterday and it describes Paws Inn wonderfully (overloaded with kittens/cats).
The picture is Bonny a young kitten of 7-8 months herself with 6 tiny kittens, a bit reminiscent of the old woman who lived in a shoe. Every Pen was full and 3 collapsible pens were in use and things were looking grim and we had Open Day as well; a wonderfully reliable catnapper in the form of Daisymac was first to stake her claim and catnap Kenny, another upstanding catnapper took Ant and Dec and then this morning Julie came and claimed Twinkle which left Daisy and Macs knew parents to collect them this afternoon. Open day brought in a much needed £570 which will go a good way towards the £900 plus we need to find for this months vet bill, special thanks to ClaireR, Lilscruff
and Daisymac for all their help.
An extra special thanks to ClaireR who has spent today scrubbing out Kennys big Pen and moving Grace and her 4 kittens into it, she then scrubbed out Graces Pen and moved Tiny into it and when Daisy and Mac left she scrubbed their Pen out hopefully ready for repair, we have now sterilised the 3 collapsibles and locked them away in the garage.
The phone I am hoping has a terminal illness, its ringer seems to have stopped working, I have no intention of investigating just yet :evillaugh:
-
So pleased the day went went with lots of Paws Inn babies off to start their new lives :)
Bonny is beautiful but looks exhausted poor thing :care: The kittens look cute but I bet she would rather they slept somehwere else :naughty:
-
She is lovely isn't she, but i thought the same yesterday, Such a shame these young mums have to go through this.
I took 4 kittens to a rescue today (must be the only one in the country to have space!!) They were nine weeks old and belonged to a young neighbour who i'd never seen before Fri. She'd knocked my door cos someone had told her i liked kittens :sneaky: The mum was about a year old, which not quite so bad as Bonny but, when i collected them today, i asked if she'd been out since the kittens had been born-'only once, for a few minutes' :Arrrrh: Hopefully, she ISN'T pregnant again as i've told her about CP's free neutering campaign at the mo and she's sorted that but won't have the voucher for 2 weeks!
-
Aw, hope your neighbour manages to get her cat spayed pretty quick Shirley. Unfortunately so many people are a bit too naive when it comes to these matters.
DaisyMac - how's that lovely little fluffball Kenny settling in?
-
Glad to hear that the Open Day went well! Sorry we didn't manage to pop along, things are a bit tight at the mo.
Can't blame you one bit for not investigating the phone. Hopefully it'll stay broken for a little while to give you some peace and quiet!
-
Having a few computer problems and using a T mobile gongle/dongle thing so the briefest of updates.
Tiny has been offered a home, he was spotted during Open Day and today he has been reserved to go on Saturday.New mum is a member of Purrs but we go back about 15-16 years when she adopted 2 beautiful kittens from me, the second died last year.New mum lost her dog Barney on Thurday and is now left with one very special cat who she adopted from me 6 years ago; her special cat is Snowball the beautiful white girl who mothered Minimopsical and appears on the photo with her on the castle, I know Tiny or Diesel as he will be called will have a wonderful life.
Working very hard feeding solids to Bonnys kittens as Bonny is too thin to provide enough milk; Cherry is much better and her kittens are growing well, Chelsea escaped her Pen while I was cleaning her at tea time and I shocked myself and her by quickly picking her up and putting her back ( she is almost wild)Grace and her kittens are happy in their big new Pen so touch wood all seems ok for now.
By the way Ali (Notsonewbiekitty) I had a visit today from lady who adopted Tachi and Vaders big brothers from previous litter, Larry and Rory the one ClaireR and I risked our lives for when we learnt what a sheep run was :rofl: both are well.
-
Awww pleased to hear that. I've just told Tachi (Vader's asleep) and he gave a little burrrept.
-
Good news is I have traced the owner of the posh sunglasses and Ant and Dec have settled really well in their new home; Bad news is I have to go and pick up 2 dumped kittens from a garden in a bit of a rough area, thats when I manage to sort some transport out.
Also need to sample cake I have just taken from the oven, the bread was superb, just need cake to cool :rofl: as you can see I am back on form :rofl:
-
Why do people dump kittens :censored:
-
Glad to see you back on form T. :hug: Hope the run of successful re-homing continues without too many new additions.
-
Am so glad the open day was a huge success, and that the Inn is functioning "as usual." You're on top form, Aunty T. :hug: :hug: ;)
-
Well the kitchen is adorned with a collapsible pen yet again, the dumped kittens of 8 weeks old are more like the 4-5 month old kittens from hell and hate each other, so we have had to split them up for now, they also have a jekyll and hyde nature with humans.
Taking Bonny and kittens to vet later this morning purely on GUT instinct that something isnt right, I have been giving her kittens solids since they were 3 weeks old last week and 4 of the 6 lap well with the last 2 lapping with encouragement, we have been overfeeding Bonny and got her to the stage that she leaves food now, but her weight is still dropping, hopefully I am just being over anxious but I would rather pay a vet to laugh at me and tell me I am worrying for nothing than miss something.
Will update on vet appt later.
-
Hi T hun
I love the pics :wow: :Luv: i just look at them and want to cuddle them all, just plonk meself down in the middle ... What bliss! ;D :Luv:
Hope Bonnie and little ones are ok. Sending over positive vibes for today's vet visit. :hug: :hug:
Now with these little imps .. would a extra large Tena help at all? ;) :evillaugh:
Sending loads of love over
:Luv:
-
Just back from vets and Bonny has been poked, prodded, listened to and had a thorough going over, vet cant find anything wrong but agrees with me that she needs a little something so shes had a steroid and vitamin injection, all kittens fine, a heart murmur detected on one of them but nothing to worry about just now. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.
Sorry to disappoint Tan but the only Tenas we use are the monetary kind :evillaugh: As for that photo out of all the thousands of pics I have taken over the years I think that one is my favourite.
-
Glad there's nothing untoward happening with Bonny, it must be exhausting feeding and caring for all those babies at her young age so hopefully the steroids and Vit jab will give her a boost :care:
-
One of my favourite vets believes vitamin b jabs are utterly amazing. Hoping that the kittens from hell calm down soon.
-
Aw, glad she's ok. Maybe the hot weather's getting to her. And confusing her too no doubt - who'd have thought it could be hot and sunny in August! ;)
Seriously though I'm so pleased that she's alright.
x
-
Relieved to hear Bonny passed with a clean bill of health, although imagine you'll still be fretting a bit, so sending big hugs for all :hug: :hug: It is indeed a wonderful piccie - "A Tangle of Kittens" (and I love the way Bonny's back leg is almost resting in blessing on the little one. :) )
-
:) Glad to hear that all is going well and that you all had a good day, sorry I couldn't make it hopefully next time :hug:
-
Finally sat down after settling in yet another 3 kittens. They were found in a red plastic recycling box this morning, lid sealed down tight so dont know how they managed to breathe, straight to vet with them for check up and all had first vaccinations, heaving fleas and earmites but whats new.They are 3 friendly boys about 12 weeks, its my guess they have been brought up in house with children and as children have today returned to school the kittens were put out for recycling while children were away; so at least their owner knew they would found and dealt with.
They were starving and have demolished everything in sight, dread to think what will come out bottom end, little fluffy black one has major lugs around bottom which will have to be cut away, he is called Bumty, other 2 are shorthaired black/whites called Barty and Binny.
needless to say I have now set up no 2 collapsible in the house, Hannah has given up her pen for the 3new arrivals
and she has moved into the house. I need my phone to be quiet, we paid vet £900 yesterday and I have run up over £200 since then with 3 more going in for vaccinations this afternoon.
Pleased to report all else seem fine, Cherry`s 2 black/whites have fully opened their eyes and I suspect her ginger boy will open his tomorrow. Chelseas babies have left the nest and started running round playing today, Bonnys babies tiny as they are have learnt to climb the Pen door today, all hard work but fun.
-
Crikey Teresa - it's like some celestial agency has put up the "vacancies" sign! :evillaugh: So glad the recycling babies were found safe and well. :hug:
-
Crikey T, you've got your hands full again :hug: :hug:
I love the names you come up with for these furries ;D :Luv2:
-
You do have your hands full dont you :Luv2: I so wish I could visit every weekend.
Kenny is doing fine, he is a right basher bates, he has no fear of anything, he even bashed the hoover yesterday whilst I was using it !
we need some photos of the new babies please :hug: :hug:
-
You really have got your handsfull, u do an amazing job :hug: x
-
How can anyone do that to little kittens??? Poor babies :( Hope they'll be ok :Luv2:
Good to hear everyone else is well :hug: :hug:
-
I cannot believe what I am reading! How casn people do something like that and move on with their life with no guilt. I moved back from the loo today and my leg whacked Effie and I was upset I "hurt" her. Who could do these things.
Imagine those that aren't found. :scared:
-
That's terrible - like other's have said how could people do a thing like that? Surely putting three kittens out for 'recycling' is as bad as chucking a cat in a wheelie bin? :Crazy:
At least they're now in the best possible hands that any cat or kitten could hope to be.
So glad to hear Chelsea's, Cherry's and Bonnie's babies are coming along well. Hope all the mum cats are too.
EDIT - also meant to add that I'm so pleased to hear Kenny 'Thumper' Dalglish is settling in well :rofl:
-
sorry to hear about these little ones T, I imagine you know what I think
-
Just want to say Red recycling tubs are for plastic bottles round here, they are emptied into a wagon with mess all around by one of the council workmen, so the kittens would have been emptied out into relative safety, ok not ideal but when you have pulled them out of awful places this was at least a thoughtful dumping.
Thoughts for Bonny who is now in vets on a drip, they cannot find anything wrong and have tested blood for everything, it will be monday before we get some of results later today for others, her babies are as bright as buttons and keeping me on my toes with hand rearing.Bonny has now seen 3 different vets who can find nothing wrong with her but now 2 of them admit that my gut feeling is right as her weight as dropped 0.2kg since Wednesday.
more later
-
Sending over good vibes and prayers for Bonny :hug:
-
Lost of positive vibes for Bonny :Luv2: Hand rearing 6 (?) babies must be exhausting! :Crazy: Hope you and them are ok, T :hug: :hug:
-
Aw, poor little Bonny. She's already been through so much in her short little life. Sending her big :hug:
-
Sending loads of vibes for Bonny xxxxx :hug: :hug:
-
Sending :hug:'s for all at Paws Inn :hug:
-
Adding my thoughts for Bonny too Teresa. :hug:
-
Latest news from vet is Bonny is on a drip, eating for England cost us a fortune in blood tests, we know Felv/Fiv negative, we also know low white blood cell count, kidneys etc normal, have sent off for various other tests including toxoplasmosis (as she lived on vermin/rabbits before we got her), infact vet went a very pale colour and asked could we test for that when she realised that Bonny had been wormed by the vet at the surgery, so all in all it sounds like Bonny is enjoying a good rest from these 6 little monsters of hers that are exhausting me, gone through whole pack of wipes already and had to be lifted from floor 3 times because my leg has had it, right now I need a good cry kittens are gorgeous and so is their mum.
Have also had results of Dustys Post Mortem through and it shows no connection to Melodys kittens PM, indeed the result says clearly no virus, so at least we know that we arent harbouring something dreadful and passing it round, we are just having a bad time of picking up cats with existing conditions.
6 little kittens now sleeping soundly. If i come back in another life it will be as a Tom cat.
-
We have all paws crossed here at the Clan for Bonny - the things mothers will do to escape their kids!
T please look after yourself - know the feeling my back is really bad today and spent the day walking like a 90 year old!
So glad you aren't harbouring any nasties - we have been through the toxoplasmiosis stuff so know how hard it is to diagnose :hug:
-
Hoping Bonny is better and back at the Inn very soon. Doing a great job as always, Teresa.
-
Its awful when you don't know what you're fighting but I'm sure it won't stop you battling on. As always you can only do your best and pray it is good enough.
-
Bit early to ring about Bonny,but her babies have enjoyed a hearty breakfast and a swim before a good massage with baby wipes,they are now sleeping soundly just as well because I am done for. It is crippling me sitting on floor trying to see to them and I cant get up, yesterday I saw specialist regards my joints and the miraculous cure I experienced which got me out of the wheelchair earlier this year was a result of me being on a massive dose of steroids, now the steroids are out of my system the pain and swelling have returned,at least we now have a definite diagnosis psoriatic arthritis, unfortunately the medication needed to help me will compromise my lungs further so I have been told the course of treatment but must wait 2 months to establish regular bloods because of dangerous meds I already take, so there we are a mad cat woman who gets stuck on the floor :rofl:
Hoping ClaireR will visit today definately need 6 kitten baths, am also praying for 4 more poops :rofl:
-
You must try and rest Teresa! Sending cuddles to all the babies in your care.
;D
-
Bonny is back home and eating well, she is not allowed to have her kittens back so is resting.
Heres a few pics of her babies keeping ClaireR and myself busy earlier today
-
Last 2 of Bonnys kittens and pics of Hannibal and his sister who were dumped earlier in the week.
-
The first 3 pics are the trio from the recycling bin yesterday, last pic is Olly.
-
They are all gorgeous, but especially Hannah, that sweet little face!!! ;D
-
Couldnt resist these
-
Glad to hear Bonny's back. Wonderful pictures too.
-
What great pics T...the fun never stops at the Inn does it!! Lots of hugs to you and all the furbabes :hug:
-
Well, what a lovely set of piccies to raise a smile this Sunday morning! ;D You certainly have your hands full there Teresa (literally!) and they're all gorgeous :evillaugh: So pleased Bonny is home again with you.
I need to keep those photos to show Paddy - although he feels the loss of dignity so much more, having to have a bath at his venerable age. ;) :hug:
-
Thank you, sometimes I wonder whether I should bother to post at all as I think the majority of Purrs people are not really into reading and commenting on rescue, been looking at old Purrs threads and stats and Purrs has changed so much that rescue almost seems out of place now. Anyhow will continue to update while the minority enjoy it.
-
T do you want to come and bath a couple of mine ;D
We are in full sticky burr mode and even my shorthaired cats are bringing them home - I now need 27 hours in a day to keep up withteh grooming and chuck in the dogs and folks won der why I look tired!!!! :rofl:
-
T I love your updates and read them everyday. Sometimes I don't post if its sad news cos I don't know what to say :(
I for one think of you rescue guys and all your furbabes every single day.
Sometimes I get frustrated that I can't help.
I think it is truly amazing what you all do.
-
I love the pics and the updates, they please people more than you will ever know, people also fall in love with your pictures and find themselves living with the babies a few months later :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Please keep up the posting! I don't post on your thread but its usually the first I look out for, I suppose because I'm not a rescue I feel like I'm intruding sometimes(not made to feel that way) if its about rescues in general. Its like a soap opera with cats. :)
I will reply from now on, I absolutely love your thread and often have a little tear for you when you have sad news.
Nicky
-
Love the bath pictures ;)
They all look like gremlins.
So very adorable!
-
T Hun my whole heart goes out to you and all the rescues for everything you all do. You all are my hero's and i love you all. :hug:
Wonderful pics :Luv: :Luv:
I just find it so hard to understand how anyone, anyone can leave little ones like that :'( why can't people be more responsible for any living beings in their care. I despise the humans who can't. :(
I just want to give a home to them all and show them with you how they are meant to be cared for and loved and not dumped and treated as rubbish. :(
Sending all my healing thoughts over for Bonny, Glad she is home.
Also lots of love over coming over for you and everyone at the Inn. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
This is usually the first thread i go to as well - don't you dare stop posting!! >:( :hug:
-
Fabulous photos, as always Teresa!! :Luv2: :Luv2: PLEASE don't ever think about stopping posting! :Crazy: As i'm on CC most of the time, don't always have time to come on Purrs, but, the notifications i ask for are from the rescues!!! You all do such wonderful things with these poor cats-how would they survive without you?? True, lately some of the stories have been really upsetting, but at least you've all done your best and they've passed in comfort instead of being left in someone's garden/street/dumped :( Don't ever think we're not interested-i for one need my daily rescue fix, even tho i don't post much! :hug: :hug: :hug:
-

Thats exactly how I feel. I always come for a look and admire how much work you do with so many little ones. Im so glad Bonny is home and feeling better
Please dont stop posting
love

I love reading the updates from rescues! True some of the stories are heartbreaking, but others are also filled with joy and love!! I think alot more people than you realise enjoy the Paws Inn updates, the number of hits this thread has had should give you an indication how many people enjoy it! ;)
-
:thanks: its good to hear that people aren`t bored with the thread, its difficult to know whether people find something interesting or not without feedback. There will always be sad stories but the majority have happy new beginnings and thats what we try to focus on. Everyone is welcome to post here.
Bonny is bright this morning and eaten most of her breakfast, her kittens have been angelic and kept bedding clean,all used litter tray well still 2 poops short, all going to food bowl of own accord and totally weaned at just 4 weeks , I am thankful that I began to get them lapping a week ago when gut feeling told me it would be wise to do so, no need for a kitten bath today, very little swimming in food, in fact these babies are going to be very genteel :rofl:
All other inmates doing well. I am currently trying to plan Paws Inn Christmas in my mind so I am prepared when ClaireR mentions it. Yes mince pies and mulled wine sound good. :rofl:
-
Yep, read this thread daily Teresa. I might not always comment, but it's good to know how all the residents are doing. (I'm the same with Liz's clan cats. Don't necessarily comment, but it's good to know how life with the clan is.)
Really pleased Bonny seems brighter.
-
Teresa, I'd be gutted too if you didn't post. The thing that I love about Paws Inn is that we hear about what goes on first hand, we see the results and we share your joy when things go to plan. Just as importantly, we share your sorrow when things don't go to plan. And, I hope, that at times we can help keep things going or on an even keel. :hug: :hug:
The funny thing is, when you wonder whether people get bored, the answer is a resounding: NO! I was at Jollyes today buying mega quantities of bird seed, when I saw two small cats at the entrance, one with a seemingly poorly paw. Immediately (well - okay - after giving it a little stroke, a chat and an ear-rub ;) ) I went to one of the assistants to ask if she'd seen the cats.
She told me she had, and that they come twice a day to be fed (even on Christmas Day when the Manageress comes down specially to give them their food). I asked about the paw injury, and she told me that it had been like that as long as the cats had been coming. The two always stay together apparently, but the one without the poorly paw was very nervous, and would run off if approached. Well, it worried me, all the way home, and I found myself thinking "what would Teresa do....?" In fairness the cats looked well cared for, flea free and healthy, but still I worry, and the first name on my mind was yours. :hug: :hug:
I shall be keeping an eye on these two little characters (the shop is located on an industrial estate with no discernable properties nearby to which these two could belong, but they looked too well fed to be out and out strays living rough.
You do such an a amazing job Aunty T, and inspire many of us to do better. :hug: :hug:
-
I will be there for the Paws Inn Christmas do !, Yay I love Christmas and I love Paws Inn so a real treat for me :hug:
-
Please, please keep on posting Teresa - I need my daily Paws Inn fix!
Glad to hear Bonny's back home and on the mend :)
Bumpty is :Luv: :Luv2: :Luv: !! I've never had a long-haired cat before, let alone a black long-haired cat!
I've just posted a message on the Paws Inn summer open day thread which I'll repeat in brief again here...if anyone's interested there are still some of the 'I love Paws Inn' t-shirts and aprons available from the summer open day. I print them personally myself but Teresa will verify that the proceeds go to Paws.
I don't wish to sound like I'm 'overly' advertising so if you're interested then send me a PM and I can send you more info/images.
If I've broken any forum rules then let me know and I'll ammend :)

I always read the updates here! only don't post, not sure why, I will from now on! the only thing is every time I read them I wish I lived closer to the Paws Inn so I could pop in and help out! (hence me volunteering at my local cattery, although I don't feel very involved there, there are loads of volunteers!) I have even checked on google map a few times to see how far away you are and strangely enough, every time I check, I still live aaaages away from the Paws Inn, the distance never seems to change, funny that....lol

Dont you dare stop posting T. Despite being many miles from home I always read this thread if I can. Trouble is, if the connection is bad it often wont download the photos or let me reply. Bumty is gorgeous. :Luv2: He loks smaller than his black and white companions or maybe its just the angle of the photo.

Yes Bumty is much smaller, than his brothers, they all fight for food terribly and poor Bumty was losing out, they are all lovely kittens but would take your fingers off for a crumb.
Just finished cleaning out and feeding Bonny`s wee ones, having difficulty getting them to take any liquid, they have decided that they do not want kitten soup and prefer to eat Hi Life kitten sachets, just insisted that they all had a few mls of milk because I am leaving them to fend for themselves till morning well 4-5am.Still 1 poop short and 1 naughty kitten wet the bed, cant really moan at that because they are only just 4 weeks.Was great fun watching 2 tiny kittens making a mad dash for freedom across the kitchen floor but it was tinged with sadness not having Minimopsical or Buster there to supervise I so miss my cat helpers.
Bonny ate a small amount of food at tea time.
-
Loving the kitten bath pictures. They almost look like they are enjoying it. :evillaugh:

Bonny is bright and eating well this morning, she doesnt seem to be missing her kittens at all; her kittens are doing fairly well,found 2 poops in tray this morning so think I can now assume they have all been. One of them is not eating terribly well this morning so a close eye is being kept, they were having a tootle round kitchen floor kicking a ball and rolling on an empty kitchen roll when all of a sudden we heard a giant crow squak squak and it got louder and louder, I thought Milly must have brought something home that was putting up a huge fight, so I hurriedly began putting kittens back in Pen, dear dear number 6 was missing, you`ve guessed he had ventured a little to far around the kitchen and got lost, funny I called him no answer but as soon as I chu chu chu he came running for food, goodbye crow :rofl: We are all looking a bit mucky this morning but have decided to leave them to clean themselves.
I currently wondering how it is that Olly eats exactly the same food as the other house cats but is capable of producing toxic wind that could be bottled and sold as a lethal weapon :rofl:
All inmates seem to be doing fine, I am contemplating what I will do about the phone as we have no room for anything not even mouse sized.
-
I knew I shouldnt answer the phone today, I went in the kitchen to do some baking, a fine array of cakes all in the oven so I slipped into frontroom for 5 minutes rest and you`ve guessed I answered the phone, what I need to know is where the heck am I going to fit one mother cat and 6x 5 week old kittens and another cat who is due to give birth now, these cats are 3 and 5 years and urgent. Must plan lots of square pegs into round holes and see if anything is possible, Rob will kill me.
-
Oh Teresa. Squawk Squawk! :evillaugh: So glad the little feller showed supreme good sense in getting himself located. :Luv:
Not so great news about the new arrivals, although I know you'll shoe-horrn them in somewhere (bless 'em). Very pleased to hear Bpnny seems to have picked up somewhat, and hoping the little poorly one doesn't take a turn for the worse. :hug:
Paddy says "I dun not gots enuff toesies ter cownt 'em all on nows. :-:" and sends a nig "pprofoffppppppttt" to his Aunty T :cat rub:
-
Just catching up with the fab photos on this thread now I'm back at work (still no work for us so might as well be doing somethig useful :rofl:), been trying to keep up to date on my phone but can't log in on there so can't see piccies :( Glad to know Bonny is improving and hope you manage to squeeze in the new arrivals. Kitten season is well and truly here :Crazy: Take care T and love to all at the Inn both human and feline :Luv2:
-
:Crazy: oh my goodness, sounds like things are more than full to the brim :Crazy: Many potential 'parents' lined up for any of the older kittens?
-
Anyone no the number for human rescue. Still trying to work out how to fit in the cat plus 6 kittens and the pregnant cat and low and behold another desperate heavily pregnant one added to list of pen juggling. I have refused so many adult cats today its unbelievable (none urgent), even refused a kitten but she is in place of safety. If my garden was bigger I would go and buy more cat pens but my garden is full of pens already, this is heartbreaking, people just do not realise how bad things really are.
I need to make 3 pens out of nothing and quick, we think we can maybe rehash 1 pen to make 2 if Rob gets to BQ on time but it wont be done tonight.
I feel like the old woman who lived in a shoe :rofl: seriously folks I am really so upset, no one else is taking in round these parts and if I solve todays problem, I`ll be faced with yet another, starting to get weepy and that just isnt my style.
-
It's so frustrating to see all the smaller rescues struggling and getting nowhere near enough publicity when larger rescues are doing sod all in comparison and getting all the praise.
Hope you figure something out Teresa. And stop answering the phone!
-
Just posted, but no idea where it went.
I was saying though, you can't help them all, Teresa. When "full" is "full to bursting" then you'll have to turn them away, heart breaking though it is. I hesitate to ask, but how many do you have now altogether? :hug: :hug:
-
Can't do anything to help with what you have to contend with, can only send :hug: :hug: :hug: your way. As Sue says you can't save them all Teresa, you can only do your best with what you have :hug:
P.S The bath pics are :blow kiss:
-
me too hun sending lots of these :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
T hun take a bit of time for you. I know it hard cause the cats keep you going and you want to be there for them but ya need ya rest too hun to be strong for them.
You know you can let rip on this thread and we will support you all we can
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Bless you Teresa - you really are one very special lady xxx :hug:
Take care of yourself and try not to overdo things - easier said than done I know.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

Thank you for looking after these little ones Teresa, but please look after yourself too :hug:

Oh T, i thought things were slowing down a bit after the rehoming following the Summer Social :( When does kitten season end-it seems to me like it's been going on forever as it is, so God knows how you feel! :tired:
Hope you managed to do some shuffling around! :Crazy: Take care of yourself too! :hug: :hug:
p.s.i'm taking a neighbour's cat for spaying this morning, so that's one less! :scared: She'd had 4 kittens and i managed to find a local rescue to take them last week and all have been rehomed! :wow:

Normal update will follow shortly when I have had a bath and dont stink of kitten food :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: To a kitten, no doubt you smell just delishuss! :wow:
-
Got everything crossed you find some corners for the new arrivals T (although I do agree with some of the others that a mute button for the phone may be useful, as hard as it is I know to turn a blind ear..)
I'm another who reads almost daily but doesn't post, I do love following the stories and pictures and it's always useful to know which creatures are looking for homes - I often get asked about helping people find a new rescue dog but if I ever get asked about cats Paws Inn will be my first recommendation.
:hug:
-
I think you need a 'tardis' pen for your garden ;)
Like everyone else I wish I could help but youre doing a great job. dont forget to look after yourself as well
:hug:

:evillaugh: To a kitten, no doubt you smell just delishuss! :wow:
Brilliant. :rofl:
Hope the re-jigging resulted in enough space.
-
Can't help with your impossible jigsaw puzzle T but I can send you lots of these. :hug: :hug: :hug: Try not to get too downhearted. You know you're doing a wonderful job but sadly, much as you would like to, you can't save them all.
-
Hope the re-jigging resulted in enough space.
Re jigging has been taking place in whats left of my brain all night :rofl: we have come up with a long shot plan but if it works we will be able to take in both pregnants and mum with 6 babies. Got to go and buy wood and other bits and bobs now and then real work can commence.
All cats happy and well, Bonnys babies need a bath :rofl:
Nothing to do with cats but I need to get everything sorted today, tomorrow my 4th Grandson will be born early due to complications.
-
Hope the arrival is happy and healthy and everything goes smoothly.
You and Rob remind me of the A Team...."It's OK. Just grab those toilet rolls and a can and we have an instant rocket launcher...." ;)

Its a wonder you cant hear Rob ;laughing from here :rofl: been to BQ and bought wood, hinges, staples etc so now he can go to work, lady with single pregnant stray has been on phone and I have promised her space by tonight,she says cat is making allsorts of strange noises, think early labour.
Given up on the idea of bathing Bonnys kittens again, baby wipes can take a hammering.
-
Just checking in to see how things are going. You and Rob are an amazing team, what would those kitties do without you ;D Goodness knows how you cope, we find it hard enough and we are lucky to have some great fosterers to help us, even we have to turn people away so I know how hard it is.
Sending you lots of :hug: :hug: :hug: and hope all goes well with the new grandson :Luv2:
-
no room at the Inn certainly doesn't apply in your case, T
hope all goes well with everything you have on hand at the moment :hug:

Hmm just picking out what tena's to send ya so you can use them with the wipes! ;) :evillaugh:

The mess was just too bad, I have spent almost 2 hours bathing the little monkeys and what did one do the minute my back was turned- swim in the food, needless to say all food now removed from pen, in future meals will be strictly served and I will need nice bibs :rofl: On the plus side 3 beautiful poops :rofl:
Rob still busy with wood, wire etc so guess it will be late by the time we are ready for pregnant girl.
-
Can you send me some wipes, Kenny just fell in the rubbish bin (because he is so nosey and needs to know what everything is) and got covered in chicken stew :rofl: :rofl:
Good luck with the wood and bits, hope all the new arrivals dont put you under too much stress :hug: :hug:

Teresa , you are truly amazing. The end! :hug: :hug:

Teresa , you are truly amazing. The end! :hug: :hug:

Just fed Bonnys little ones and have realised we havent had time to eat today other than a slice of homemade cake, going to go to bed as have early start tomorrow, Bonny at vets 9am and pregnant cat arriving 10.am and new pen still not quite finished, just cant get the staff these days :rofl:
Modified to add
Daisymac why have you got chicken stew in the bin ? forget that wretched diet you are just right as you are :hug: I hope you realise how dangerous a bin full of chicken stew can be to a cat, poor Kenny isnt used to roughing it, kindly put it in china gold edged dish in future :evillaugh:

Today is one of those days where I need a dozen pair of hands, vet appt with Bonny (recheck) at 9am, new arrival coming just after 10, still got to scrub out and move beds from former feral quarters in order to be able to complete massive move around to fit in pregnant girl, had 3 calls last night from finder who was worried she may have been in labour, I will reserve judgement until cat arrives.
I have my 3 favourite little ones in the world from 3 today ( these are of the human kind) so everything must be left orderley for Rob to deal with, guess I will be bathing 6 tinies again tomorrow :rofl:

Yet another calm, relaxing day for you....hoping all goes well. :hug:

Hope the day goes well T with all the new additions, human and furry. :hug:

Well very heavily pregnant girl sitting in pen in my living room waiting for completion of alterations which will free up her proper pen outside.Just had phone call to say that other pregnant one I have promised to take gave birth to 7 last night, so there are now 2 mums and 13 kittens waiting to come in asap.If current plan works we will fit all in within next day or two if it fails I will scream.
Back out to do a bit more work now.
-
Oh my goodness T handfuls galore there :Crazy: hope you manage to fit everyone in and enjoy your afternoon with your 3 favourite little humans ;D
-
:phew: Blimey, Teresa. I think you need to go into the middle of nowhere and let a big scream go definitely....
-
Good grief T, you'll have your hands full just doing a head count. How many will that be? Fingers crossed that the new ones are all healthy.
-
Goodness T - you really are full to the brim and spilling over. AND you still get time to bake homemade Bakewells! A Wonder Woman or what?!?!
For all those that use baby wipes on grubby kitties - Tesco have packs of 'Value' range un-scented baby wipes for 22p. They're very, very good and I would strongly recommend them. I got some Vale wet wipes once and they were utter rubbish but these baby ones are excellent.
Happy wiping!
-
...and breathe :Crazy:
-
You really have got your handsfull T :hug: hope the arrival of baby grandson went ok xx
-
Cooor Blimey Gov. Hey T i am sure there must be more room if you and Rob move out of your bedroom? :-: ;) :hee hee:
Hope Grandsons visit was marvellous ;D
Give my love and huge hugs to the 20 million at the Inn :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
If I were half the woman you are.....
-
Morning Aunty T. Am just checking in to see what progress has been made at the Inn? :hug: :hug:
-
Grandson has still not arrived.
Cat Pens new accomodation and Pen reshuffling has worked, very heavily pregnant girl happy in her Pen and if we bring Bonny into house in a collapsible Pen we have the 2 Pens we need to fit in mum plus 6 and mum plus 7 so feeling quite pleased with myself though somewhat worn out, Rob did most of the work yesterday but I also overdid things and that was before looking after grandsons. Hopefully today will be easier and I wont have to babysit. Did notice that bonnys kittens are in dire need of a bath again, think they like the smell of the lavendar johnsons baby shampoo.Desperately need to get pics sorted and update Catchat pages and Pawsinn site and start finding some homes, just not enough hours in the day.
If I were half the woman you are.....
You saying I`m fat ? :rofl: I think we both put rather a lot of effort into being mad cat women :hug:
Right got to go and scrun Bonnys kittens pen out now they`ve finished doing breast stroke in kitten food :rofl:
-
So the kittens arrived first then. :) :hug: :hug: Am not surprised you've worn yourself out. Paddy sends a revivifying "pprrfffpppt" for you. :catlove2:
-
Just cleaning little ones and one cheeky monster piddled on my kitchen floor :rofl:
Sue still have cat due to give birth any day so its still human v cat :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: Sheesh! Rank ingratitude....! ;)
-
I feel sick, contractions every 2 minutes.
-
OMG T, i wonder you're not insane!!!! :Crazy: Well done to you and Superman (Rob) :rofl: Hope mum to be (furry one and human) get on with it and willl be ok! :hug: :hug:
-
Just popping by to top up the :hug: and hoping that all is going as it should.
Love to all at the Inn :Luv2:
-
Me too :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope all is OK :hug: :hug:
-
I never ever want to relive the last 2 days but am delighted to say that new Grandson arrived just under an hour ago, I dont have any details yet, but have found the whole experience harrowing.
Cat still not given birth.
-
I hope everything is ok T *hugs* xx
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
First of all..... :phew: And then...... :cuddle: Followed by...... :cheer: :yayyy: :chicken:
What else is there to say, really? :hug: :hug:
-
Yay :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Still no kittens, so human won the race :)
Just finished cleaning out reprobates in kitchen and decided that baby wipes are useless today as the muck is too bad so guess who will be bathing 6 kittens again later, pity Julie Pinkbear isnt closer I could smuggle them in with hers :evillaugh: Think I will start wormer today, have held off till now on vets advice.
Poor Rob is having great fun doing all the mucking out and the altered Pen is causing chaos but we have 5 big kittens who are all much happier with their new surroundings and our isolation block is now totally an isolation maternity wing :rofl: must get some pictures as soon as I get time but I really need a bath as this eau de cat is sickly strong, strange I never noticed it when I used to smoke.
Hopefully will find out about my new grandson later today, though I already knew details like he will be called Tom, the important thing I need to know is about his little lungs as Margaret should have had steroid drip to prepare them for early birth: when Gavin phoned I was going through the trauma of having a 3 year old lock himself in bathroom and 6 year old giving me a plastic spoon to break him out, suprisingly it worked and I got the door open and 3year old Jack who was sat on loo, frowned at me as he announced "I am having a Poo" exit grandma but saved by the bell literally as that was when Gavin phoned and said gather the boys and put phoned on loud speaker, you can imagine the excitement and chaos that erupted, fortunately relief babysitter took over as I had to return home for nebulisers and so I leave you all with that happy picture. :rofl:
-
Congratulations to you and your family on the new arrival
I hope the kittens behave for you today
love

-
Congratulations on the birth of your new grandson!! ;D (Found out last night i'm going to be a great aunt-too young for that,lol, even tho i'm 57 today! Not due until May so a bit early to be getting excited! :rofl: )
-
Congrats T on the new human arrival...hope the latest batch of kittens arrival safe and soundly soon too.
And congrats to you too Shirley - May will be here before you know it though! So get knitting those booties now ;)
-
Congratulations on young Tom - just think of the fun you will have babysitting FOUR grandchildren. ;D
Glad the square peg in a round hole worked and hope you keep your phone disconnected for a while. :hug:
-
just think of the fun you will have babysitting FOUR grandchildren. ;D
No please No, show a little mercy, gosh just thought of the cost of a trip to toysrus, and I have another grandson due next month; anyone recommend a good one way ticket to somewhere :rofl: :rofl:
-
Congrats on the new grandson T, I'm sure the cats will be less trouble than 4 children (I don't know though :rofl:)
Congrats to you too Shirley, I became a great auntie 2 years ago when I was only 47 so definitely too young :rofl: it's great fun though and you will love it ;D
-
:1st place: Teresa on grandson number 4 :)

It never rains but it pours, just had Bonnys blood test for Toxoplasmosis back and she is positive, vet says she will need 3 weeks of treatment and then further blood tests to check she is clear. Her kittens are too small for blood tests so not sure whats going to happen about them yet.
I dont know if its because I am overtired but this has really upset me, 3 wretch consultations because vet couldnt find anything wrong and now all this worry just when I thought she was getting better, this is scary, its not only contagious to cats (though we isolate so no problem) the big worry is it is very dangerous to me and my wretched lungs.
Someone please give me something to laugh about.
-
Congrats on your Grandson sweetie :Luv2: :Luv2:
Not such good news about the toxo, I'll admit to not knowing a thing about that, but if its harmful to you, then most definitely take all precautions necessary :hug:
-
So sorry to hear about Bonny, I will give you a call tomorrow and make you laugh, I promise :hug: :hug:
-
Congratualtions on your new Grandson - and very sorry about Bonny xxxxx :hug:
-
Rob has collected medication from vet and I also requested that babies are treated too, so I have just given 6 little ones their first horrible dose and thats on top of panacur wormer and a bath earlier, Do they hate me yet? I think Chuckyegg might as hes just had his face scrubbed with baby wipes and been told not to be such a pig at mealtimes.
Rob has volunteered to give Bonny hers, will he succeed I wonder :rofl:
I was so upset earlier but putting things in perspective we are really lucky that we isolate everything otherwise things could have been horrendous. Just got to be careful I dont catch it now as I dont need any extras to take to hospital :rofl:
-
Sorry to hear about bonny :hug: hope all is ok with baby grandson x
-
Oh T! Glad you're feeling slightly more positive this evening. Big :hug: :hug: to you and Bonny.
x
-
T - please take good care of yourself. At least it's good the vet has been able to establish what's wrong, which is a good thing, and she can be treated, which is the next good thing. :hug:
-
Sorry to hear about Bonny :( Hope the meds can sort her and the babies out with no loasting damage and also that you definitely don't catch anything :hug:
-
Congrats on new Grandson Tom hun ;D
Sorry to hear Bonny has Toxoplasmosis :( She's in the right place to make her well again excellent call on your instinct thinking something wasn't right with her. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Keep an eye on you too hun. :hug: :hug: :hug:
how's the maternity wing doing?
:Luv:
-
:wow: Congratulations on grandson Teresa xx
Hope that poor Bonny is better soon :hug:

Hi all,
As some of you are aware, at the Paws Inn summer social there were 'I love Paws Inn' t-shirts available to buy (with the proceeds going to Paws) and I'm delighted to say that the shirts are now for sale online for those who are interested in buying one.
On the advice of Tan, I've created a specific thread about them here: http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,34234.msg608353.html
Or for those who want to be taken straight there then a link to the site to buy is here: www.muckypawstore.com/pawsinn
If you have any Q's then feel free to PM me,
Sarah
-
Hope Bonny and her babies will be ok, and, of course YOU! :hug: Wonderful you managed to squeeze everybody in! :Crazy: Assume pregnant mum hasn't given birth yet??
Thanks Sarah and Ann-probably won't see much of the baby anyway-never see the father! :rofl: Me knit????? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Congratualtions on the birth of your grandson Tom, Teresa :) Sorry I've not posted for a while, I've been in hospital for a while myself and my little boy Logan is now here :) He was born on 25th August but we had to spend some time in there (11 days in total) as he was having feeding issues. We are back home now though and getting used to being a family.
How you put up with being in hospital for such long periods of time I have no idea, I was going stir crazy after a few days! It's good to get back home and catch up on what has been going on at Paws Inn :)
-
Great news Carolyn, hope Momo and Cassidy are enjoying having Logan around :hug:
Thankyou so much for the T shirt help Sarah we sure are going to be needing every penny with so many in, worked out today we are using 5 boxes of sachets daily as well as a mountain of Royal Canin, not going to mention the mountain of litter we are using :sick:
Something awful seems to crop up most days, we have had to have a vet call out to Hannibal Lektacat this afternoon, vet thinks he has licked a slug clean :sick: so 3 injections and bill of £100 should hopefully put him right, if not back to vet in morning.
Annabel has still not given birth to her kittens, infact she is so happy she is prancing round like a ballerina , her kittens have dropped so low now its hard to tell she is pregnant from the sides.
Sophie is settling well with her 7 newborn kittens but what a shock we have had, noticed she looks rather like Bonny and then when we had a good look at her kitttens they are the image of Bonnys kittens only real difference is Bonny only has 6 and Sophie 7. Bonnys are also 5 weeks old now and being handreared due to Bonnys health.
Cherry kittens have really blossomed very quickly they are now touching 3 weeks and bigger and chunkier than Bonnys 5 week olds that I am handrearing, I hang my head in shame.
Chelsea almost wild girl is so lovable at times it just beggars belief, her babies are now almost 6 weeks I think, born 1st Aug and no matter how many dishes of food we put in Chelsea eats its and is determined to feed her kittens longer.
Bonny is finally starting to put a little weight on so hopefully this medication will sort her out.
Grace and her 4 kittens become more beautiful everyday and Melody and her remaining 2 kittens seem radiant now.
All the Ninjas, James, Christopher and adult cats and ferals seem fine thankfully.
Took pictures of some hope you enjoy, there are also lots of new pics on our website which ClaireR updated yesterday.
Pic of Sophie and babies the bedding has been turned upside down by Sophie on first 3 pics but as you can see new piece put down on pic 4.

You must be exhausted Teresa! Sincerely hope that kitten season is coming to and end :hug: Hope Hannibal is feeling better by the time you read this :)

Uncanny - those were the little ones that caught my eye too out of all that gorgeousness! :Luv:
-
Teresa - if I had medal of pure gold to give, you would receive it. Those piccies are fab. So many babies...... :)
-
LOVE Captain Plugwash! :Luv2: :Luv2: Fab picas, as always T. Hope Hannibal is ok-i get confused with all these names-is he one of the ferals? :doh:
Heartbreaking to think where all these furries would be without you and people like you! Amazing people! :hug: :hug:
Er, just looked at website pics-seems Hannibal is NOT a feral! :-[
-
Hannibal Lektacat is still off colour this morning, though for a cat who escaped his Pen, found a bag of catnip toys and stole 3 before dancing all over Robs leather chair, its not suprising that he is tired now, he has eaten a small breakfast and is currently zonked out.
Annabel is still dancing like a ballerina so no new babies.
Bonnys babies have completed their 3 days of wormer without any mishaps and are all eating well, just need to find time to chisel the muck from their faces :rofl: Bonny herself looking much better.
Forgot to mention that I found half an hour to meet my new Grandson Tom yesterday, at 7lbs 13 ounces he is tiny.
Anyway all is well with him and Margaret apart from the fact she has to inject herself each day due to high risk of thrombosis .
All at the Inn happy and well. :)
-
All at the Inn happy and well. :)
What a wonderful thing to read first thing. :) :hug: And Sue's right, you do such an amazing job; you and your team.
-
:wow: :wow: :wow: wonderful pics hun Thank you so much for posting them ;D

I just clicked on the rehoming link and can't believe how many there are in all :Crazy: Are you getting many enquiries for rehoming? If not I wonder whether an appeal in the local newspaper might be an idea? :hug:

Helen there are quite a few not picured like Annabel (pregnant) and the permanent residents ie ones with health issues or feral.
Rehoming is not existant at the minute,I gave up on newspaper appeals years ago, they never bring in offers of help, just more offers of unwanted animals.
-
Glad all is well with new grandson T as well as at the Inn. Sooooo many babies everywhere...I love Bumty...actually I love all of them but particularly Bumty :)
-
Congrats on the birth of your grandson Teresa ;D
-
Teresa, you're certainly full to bursting there, but very glad to hear that Tom is well, and that his Mum is being kept a good eye on (by you, if no-one else!) ;) :hug: :hug:
-
Been an exciting morning as we watched Annabel having a scan and caught our first glimpse of her kittens, shame it was in black and white :rofl:
Hannibal has had further meds as still not wanting to eat, if no improvement tomorrow xray. Was offered zantac but refused it in favour of antesepsin, little terror has just nibbled a little so will see what happens.
All other inmates well and 6 tinies all sporting mucky faces as normal :rofl:

Glad all the other babes are doing great hun ;D Now you just need lots of wondeful families for them :wish:
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Love the idea of the Dirty Half Dozen in your kitchen :rofl:
How exciting seeing the kittens on a scan, did you count them ?
Hope Hannibal is eating you out of house and home.
Kenny and JOR are best of friends and are currently running round and round the house chasing each other, I fear for my ornaments :rofl:
-
Wow thats a lot of kittens you have there - hard work but oh soooooooooooooooooo cute! :Luv2:
-
Morning Teresa
Just wanted to pop by and give snoozles to all at the Inn this morning, from me and The Padster :cat rub: :catlove2:
-
Sending gentle :catlove2: to Hannibal and hope he feels better soon and many many :hug: to all at the Inn

Kenny and JOR are best of friends and are currently running round and round the house chasing each other, I fear for my ornaments :rofl:
I only saw 1 kitten on scan as didnt have glasses on :rofl: vet saw more than 1 but I will keep you guessing.
Wonderful that J.O.R. and Kenny are at last friends.
Hannibal is eating well today and much happier, hopefully he will avoid slugs in future.
One of Bonnys babies still giving me niggles but am watching carefully, kittens finished toxo meds but Bonny may be on it for quite some time, she is looking good though.
Had people to look for kittens earlier today and have sent them home to discuss it, they wanted tiny but I explained that tiny will be the size of the vaccinated ones when they are ready, so its fingers crossed as they are discussing Bumty and one of his brothers.
Got people who took Winnie and Polly 4 years ago coming to visit this afternoon, wish they would add to their two.
My thoughts this afternoon are with Angie and Squirt they have fought so hard.
-
I was unaware slugs were so dangerous to cats. Glad Hannibal is OK, and of course the others!
-
Ooooh Bumty and Tiny :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: I thought Tiny already had a home lined up?
Sending big :hug: to the beautiful Bonny and of course the other inmates. :hug:
How long is it now til the next human arrival?
-
Ooooh Bumty and Tiny :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: I thought Tiny already had a home lined up?
Sending big :hug: to the beautiful Bonny and of course the other inmates. :hug:

I am confused Tiny went to his new home over a week ago.
-
Glad Hannibal is eating better hun ;D You haven't given him any liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti have you? ;) :evillaugh:
Great news Bonny is doing ok and i hope all her little ones will be healthy and strong :Luv:
Love and loads fo cuggles to the all the Inn's inhabitants :Luv: :Luv:

Doh! I got the wrong end of the stick there sorry T! :doh: Been freelancing at the newspaper this week and my brain is utterly frazzled!
-
There's a lot to keep track of at the moment Lil Scruff :evillaugh: Teresa - I don't know how you manage it (as I've said so often!) :rofl: :hug: :hug: Very glad that Hannibal is clearly feeling much better, but sending thoughts for Bonny's baby :Luv:
-
Hannibal is sleeping off the breakfast he wolfed down, I think hes recovered :)
Bonnys babies must have a bath as soon as I can find the strength, doing 6 of them is exhausting. The weak one seems much brighter and did a little run round the kitchen this morning so I feel happier, I can tell all 6 apart and have my own pet names for them but I cant remember which kitten has been given which name :rofl: :rofl: heaven help me when I name Sophies 7 babies who are identical to Bonnys, Bonny by the way is really improving now.
Cherrys kittens are huge, they are 3 weeks old and Sergeant Ubend is twice the size of Bonnys kittens who are over 5 weeks now. In truth he is so big he would dwarf Daisymacs Kenny who is another giant. All 3 of Cherrys kittens are beautiful but ginger is not my colour yet I look ay Ubend and find myself thinking Wow, the camera just wont do him justice.
All the other mums and babies are well as are all the adults.
-
Wonderful update, T, so nice to hear some good news! ;D Sorry the little ones are wearing you out-sooooooooo wish i was closer and could help! :hug: :hug:
-
;D ;D ;D Fantastic news hun :chicken:
Now talking about Gingies, That Sarg Ubend is such a stunner. I will be walking up to see him soon with a rather large coat with at least one rather large pocket just for him. Now it might take me a week to walk but it will be worth it to catnap him :sneaky: :evillaugh:
coor :wow: just look at the huge fella....
I Gone all "cooey" again!
-
reminds me of Marigold...... :Luv:
-
A great update from the Inn T, good to know that Hannibal and Bonny are doing so much better. Goodness knows how you are going to work out which one is which among all those kittens :rofl:
Sending lots of love and cuddles to all the residents :hug:
-
Woweeee all those kittens! They sure are keeping you on your toes T :Luv2: :hug:
-
Glad everyone is doing well at the Inn T, hope you're finding at least a bit of time to make sure you're doing ok too :hug:
Hope some wonderful homes come along for the (too many to count!) scrummy kittens, mums and others soon
x
-
So glad all is well at the Inn - it must be paradise with all those kittens :Luv2:
Just to add we have another kitten - I got him whilst being waxed yesterday a white boy about 8 weeks - no name yet but his mother and litter mates allegedly killed by some Jack Russells - not sure if its true as he has no problems with our doggies apart from being stalked by Sunny who is obsessed by Charlie and we have Miss Skye from Sunny Harbour on the growl sorry prowl so Sunny doesn't know which way to look or who to stalk :rofl:
-
Didnt manage to bath the 6 little rats yesterday, a case of the spirit being willing but the flesh being weak :rofl: just as well though as they had a food fight this morning and all got plastered again :rofl:
Annabel is still clinging to her babies, if she doesnt produce by early next week we will have to take her to vets for tin opener jobbie :rofl:
Hannibal has declined his breakfast this morning, think he may be being fussy but will keep a close eye on him, he is being a terror in all other ways including attacking my leather furniture.
I feel so sorry for Bonny all alone in her Pen in a maternity ward, wish she could have her 6 babies back, shes only a kitten herself and would enjoy the company but sadly she must stay isolated until treatment complete and a neg test result given.
All inmates happy and well.
-
Morning T hun
Glad all babes doing well :) and hope Hannibal eats some tucker this morning. :Luv:
Take care of ya self too hun :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Just went in kitchen to make some bread and look what fun I had
-
Yes they are all mucky little kittens who still think they are rats but happy kittens.
-
Brilliant pice T, but i've lost track-who's are they?? :rofl: Hope Hannibal starts to eat and really feel for Bonny :( How long is the treatment?
Take care of yourself too! :hug:
-
What lovely pics! They look like such a lovable bundle of naughtiness! I particularly like the one of the two black and white ones peering at the bottle rack :Luv: My mum would call them a pair of 'book ends'.
Your new boy sounds adorable Liz. But did I read your post right? - you got him whilst being waxed?!? :Crazy:
-
at least now they've found the kitchen towels they might clean themselves up a bit T :evillaugh:
-
Shirley those are Bonnys 6 babies that I have handreared.Bonny has 3 weeks medication then has to have more blood tests,if we are lucky her treatment will only last for weeks but we have been warned it could go on for months.
Sarah there are actually 3 of those black bookends and not easy to tell apart :rofl:
Trigger they have been stealing that kitchen roll for 2 weeks now and all they do is unroll it ready for me to clean the Pen and floor :rofl:
Gave them all a thorough wash with baby shampoo and they are as bad again :rofl:
-
Good to see them being proper little terrors :rofl: glad all is well at the Inn and hope you are looking after yourself too T.
Love and purrs to all as ever :hug: :Luv2:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Oooohooo - thanks Teresa - what fab piccies. :wow:
-
Love the pics T. They are gorgeous!
-
There are some very dirty and scrawny kittens here at Paws Inn, judge for yourself, think there will be about 3 sets of pics
-
2nd lot
-
Next lot are only 3 weeks old and have a proper cat mother, look at their weights and then look at bonnys kittens weights who have had to endure this old human :rofl:
Just proves kittens are always best with mum.
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
There all gorgeous T :hug: x
-
aww - reminds me of Alfie :Luv2:
How on earth do you get them still enough to weigh them. I've now got a digital scale from Maplin - the type used to weigh luggage so that I can pop them in an old handbag when I weigh them :rofl:
-
:wow: such great pics T Thanks so much for posting em ;D :Luv:
Little Sarg Ubend def looks a cheeky imp to me and i adore cheeky imps :evillaugh: ;D
Love the pics with the paper towels they look like they having loads of fun :evillaugh: and what a help they are unravelling it for you! :evillaugh:
Sending lots of love over to you all :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Hope you are keeping well T - loving all the pics, well, the ones I can see that is. For some reason its a bit hit and miss which download and which don't. My favourites are Bonnie's black and white babies investigating the bottle rack with their fat little tums and their cute little white feet all splayed out. :Luv2: Captain Plugwash is a stunner too.
-
It's exhausting just trying to keep up Teresa, have no idea how you manage in real life :Crazy: :hug:
-
Thanks so much for finding the time to post updates on here - you're busy enough as it is ten times over without remembering to take all of the lovely snaps but I really do love seeing the Paws updates.
The three 'Sc's send their love to Aunty T by the way :hug: They had their first encounter with a spider about 10 days ago and unlike their mum they seem to LOVE the eight legged freaks! We've had one appear in the living room or kitchen almost every night which provides endless entertainment for them end endless terror for me. Both myself and OH are way too soft to kill insects and we prefer to gently 'escort' them out in cups but unfortunately spiders are clearly a tasty snack round here and I dread to think how many legs they've all gobbled each :sick: Lucky our British spiders aren't venomous I guess. Going to try and scrimp some conkers tomorrow as alledgedly a conker in the corners of a room prevent arachnid invaders.
-
Lovely photos, a lot of cuteness for a sunday morning. :Luv:
Conkers in the corners do work at My Mums house, as long as My brothers little dog Alfie doesn't find them and run off with them!!
Nicky
-
Love the photos - lots of adorable , naughty little kitties! :Luv2:
-
naughty little kitties! :Luv2:
Trying to find strength to bath them yet again, they look like dirty little rats, I do miss Minimopsical and her school of kittenhood. Had so much cat bedding to wash the human washing hasnt seen the washine machine all week and my arms and legs are that swollen I cant even run away :rofl:
All furry inmates happy and well, human inmates miserable old boot :rofl:
Modified to say I stopped feeling sorrow for myself and 6 kitten bath/blow drys complete, cat bedding washed and 1 load of human clothes in wash trouble is I`ve just made flannels and towels dirty bathing kittens.
It is so lovely to see kittens looking clean for a few minutes.
-
I think I'm in love with Sargent Ubend! :Luv2:
Paws Inn really does have the nicest kitties. A couple of my friends are thinking about getting a cat to be friends with their current resident, I've been telling them where all the best cats come from! ;)
-
Clean and locked in a pen without food :evillaugh:
-
Suppose I will have to feed them soon.
-
Made my Sunday seeing these wonderful pics, love the sink babies, in fact I love them all :hug: :hug:
-
They're all gorgeous - love the weigh-in piccies. And Bonny - watching from her pen. She's a great little Mum, isn't she? So protective. That looks like a right little cage full of tigers on the recent batch of pics. Glad you're feeling stronger Teresa. Minimopsical will be so proud.
-
Sue the cage full of tigers belong to Bonny, she hasnt seen them for almost 3 weeks now as they are terrorising me in the kitchen, poor Bonny is away from everything though she can see other mums babies.
They are all filthy again :tired:
-
Bonnys babies look like little birds in a nest going"feed me mummy, feed me" :)
I love coming on the lappy so I can see all the piccies...you never disappoint T :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
I just can't stay away from this thread - such lovely piccies :)
Last night my better half and myself were trying to watch Match of the Day but we kept being interupted by black paws throwing themselves at the screen....I managed to take brief vid on the camera and will try to upload if poss. Scrumpberry (Blackberry) seems to have a full on crush on Stoke's Jermaine Pennant. She literally couldn't keep her paws off him throughout the whole of the highlights :rofl: makes a nice change from spider munching I guess :shocked:
-
:evillaugh: Where would we all be without cats and kittens? :Luv2:

OMG Daisymac, can't believe how he's grown! Just gorgeous! :Luv2: Lovely pics! :hug:
-
OMG Daisymac, can't believe how he's grown! Just gorgeous! :Luv2: Lovely pics! :hug:
I know Shirley, he is growing at a huge rate, I am currently thinking about emptying out one of the stables in the back yard so he can go and live in there when he gets to full horse size :rofl: :rofl: (that was a joke, I wouldnt put my cats in the stable in case anyone is worried)
-
:rofl: coo hun he's Huuuugeeee! So what saddle will you get for him? ;) :evillaugh:
Wonderful to see them both great mates. even if they have teamed up to became the "terrible Two! :rofl:
-
You've got stables???? :wow:
-
You've got stables???? :wow:
LOL, yes 10 stables, so one short for the cats unfortunately :rofl:
(we only rent though Shirley, so it sounds lovely but they are not ours in real terms)
-
So does that mean you've got 10 horses????? I'm a bit slow ..... :rofl:
-
So does that mean you've got 10 horses????? I'm a bit slow ..... :rofl:
No just ten empty stables, I am terrified of horses :rofl:
-
I am very confused now-doesn't take much :rofl:
-
I have really lost it, I know Kenny is black/white but why was I looking for ginger :rofl: They are a real credit to you Claire.
-
I have really lost it, I know Kenny is black/white but why was I looking for ginger :rofl: They are a real credit to you Claire.
Think they are a credit to you really T, JOR wouldnt be alive if it wasn't for you :hug:
Shirley the stables are just out the back of the house if we had horses we could use them, I guess this house would be perfect for horse lovers but we just wanted it as it is in the middle of nowhere and the cats would be safe, our cats are normal house cats though :hug:
-
daisymab i thought you had a snake slithering on the floor towards the cats :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Kenny is a beast - he's mahoosive! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Gorgeous boys and so nice to see them roughing and tumbling together like young boys should :Luv2:
-
Now, I don't have time to post muich just at the moment, but this thread inevitably leaves with a great feeling inside - and what do I find this morning? A Joonyer Offissur Ripley piccie :wow: Thanks Daisymac ;) :hug:
Aunty T - see what you did there? ;D :hug: :hug: :briggin:
-
JOR and Kenny have really cheered me up this morning, its interesting how JOR has such unusual markings, I notice in pic with snakey toy he is wearing a big black lizard on his back, when he was younger Aunty Suepoo used to say he wore his heart on his coat.
We were discussing the absense of starlings and sparrows yesterday, we have lots of swifts,blackbirds, robins, Prunes, finches, pigeons, even seagulls and buzzards but our poor starlings and sparrows seem to have disappeared, I think Milly must have been listening, this morning she came back with the biggest starling, now I know where they have all gone :(
We have a growing problem here, kittens are outgrowing our Pens, normally by the time they have outgrown isolation we have giant mother and kitten pens free, nothing is moving so everything is at a standstill and of course we have the black kitten problem causing major hold ups.As for the 6 in my kitchen they are now getting too big for the Pen they are in especially as they no longer think they are rats but big cats :rofl:
-
I do love JR's black cape ;D and little Kennys white spot by his nose :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
T your littluns brood of imps sound like they are getting more cheeky every day ;D :evillaugh: ;) Wonderful ;D
You'll have to get a bigger kitchen roll! :rofl:

-
I really need to stop looking at this thread! I already have my eye on one of those little kitties in the cage! :Luv2:
-
Nothing of interest to report this morning; all adult cats have paws polished and claws sharpened ready for vet inspection later. The kittens in the outside Pens are oblivious to the fact its needle time, while the 6 dirty monkeys in kitchen are their usual mucky selves. Will also be checking on Annabels buns, they must be overdone so are bound to be black if she ever gives birth, she had a scan a week ago which told us she was almost ready, so hoping she wont be another tin opener jobby.
Well thats it for now maybe we will have something of interest to say after vet has been.
-
So glad its a quiet day at the Inn and that all recruits are suitably ready for the vets visit :evillaugh: :rofl:
-
Andy vet is really pleased with all the inmates, he even laughed as the 6 muckspots in kitchen tore round like lunatics, I think he enjoyed seeing them as they are in the muck :rofl: Melody has at last been pronounced fit to spay and has been given her first vaccination, in all another 13 were vaccinated. Annabel been examined again and we have been told if no babies then caesarian Monday I am convinced she is waiting for 25th Sept, hope thats all it is. Sophie has been checked over as I was worried that she is not quite as attentive to her babies as she might be but vet said all is fine and we have 4 boys and 3 girls so I can now think of something rediculous to call them.
Flew over to Manchester to cash/carry for more litter etc so been quite a busy day. It is good to have a pleasant vet visit, hopefully all will be well tomorrow with no unpleasant reactions.Strange in rescue when everything is ok you worry about what will hit you next :rofl:
Must confess we bought a teeny scratching post for the 6 muckspots.
-
Haven't been on this thread for a few days due to being worked like a slave this week....guess it's more money to lavish on my puds though.
I am so, so pleased that beautiful Melody is deemed to be fitter now. She is such a stunner and has been through an awful lot. I bet you're delighted at her progress too T. Also great to hear that you yourself have been strong enough to go for a little jaunt out to the wholesalers. I guess it's not exactly Harrods but I know that a littlle trip out anywhere can be enjoyable when you've been stuck in for days.
So has interest in rehoming dried up for now? Or is it just that 'unsuitable' people are enquiring? I sincerely hope that interest hasn't waned just because the kids have gone back to school.
Super pics of your little smasher there DaisyMac. What a handsome little whopper he is!
-
:evillaugh: "Not exactly Harrods...."
Glad to hear all is tranquil at the Inn Teresa (well - that's a slight exaggeration witht he scruffpots on the loose, but you know what I mean! ;) :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So far so good after all the vaccinations but I desperately need something for my joints; those 6 little monsters in the kitchen decided to climb the rubbish bag while I was cleaning out their Pen, I was already struggling with pain trying to get up off my knees and then across the kitchen I spotted the solution to all my problems Helen`s Lu and Riley, O joy all I needed to do was beat the pain barrier and soon the boys would sort out my naughty muckspots. Well I used the cooker to help get myself up, tripped on the fallen kitchen roll which has now become too boring to be used as a toy but made it across the kitchen just as muckspots were emptying binbag on my floor, so I grabbed my prize and threw it to them, no not Lu and Riley the useless drinking straw :rofl: Muckspots finally back in Pen enjoying their beauty sleep while I am discovering more and more about old age. Final score Muckspots 6 human 0 :rofl:
Modified to say my "Harrods" outing, 20 x 30litres of cat litter, 200 bin bags, ruck of catfood no wonder I am done for before my time :rofl: :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: You sure know how to live it up, Aunty T ;) :hug:
-
I wish i could take that pain away for you hun. :hug: :hug: Can they do anything for it?
Little imps going for the bin bag! :evillaugh: Did the Lu & Riles Straw work?
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
aww bless ya. Maybe the joint pain will slow ya down at Purringo next week! :rofl: :rofl:
-
Afraid this joint pain is not nice psoriatic arthritis, can have meds for 2 months because blood has to be monitored weekly because of other drugs I am on and then when I get the drugs they could take 12 weeks to take effect.
The swelling is unbelievable and the pain terrible, I kneel down to attend to kittens and then cant get up, have even got stuck in the bath, I have a load of steroids and am so tempted to take them but darent. Oh well good job theres always kitten poop to take my mind off things :rofl:
Bonnys Purringo toy arrived today :thanks: Tan, it knocked me on my back it was so potent, fancy sending a cigar to a non smoker :rofl:
The Lu and Riley straw was total waste of time, Rob began building kittens little post last night and hes still not finished it, I cant moan he does all the mucking out apart from the 6 muckspots :rofl: Hopefully it will be done before morning.
Lil Scruff
you are long overdue a visit with big pockets.
-
Glad all feline residents are doing well, shame you can't share some of their boundless energy! :hug:
As for the drinking straw, you're obviously doing it wrong :evillaugh: Did you try flicking it like you would flick the ash off a cigarette and then boshing them on the head with it before throwing it loftily through the air? :naughty:
-
oooh T that sounds nasty hun. It's pointless me saying rest up to you but sending you hugs xx
-
I hope your pain eases soon :hug:
I do love reading about what youre all up to
love
Tab
-
Sorry to hear your joints are ouchy T hun :hug: :hug:
-
I wish i could help take the pain away for you :hug: :hug: :hug: Is there any rub in meds that you could use hun that might help?
Ah Helen i reckon T didn't use the boshing on head technique then! :evillaugh:
lol T Now would i really send a cigar to a somone who marvelously has given up the nasty weed. :evillaugh: Ok ya right i i would be that cheeky as long it aint a real one! :evillaugh: I think it was a narna i sent to Bonny :yayyy: but i have to admit our lounge does Stinky poo of very strong catnip with the stock cupboard open so i could easily popped a cigar in the envelope instead :-: :oops:
Hope she loikes it when Claire has the courage to pop it in with her :evillaugh:
Love to all at the Inn
-
Now I know that I really am a stupid blind old boot :rofl: of course it is a banana.I plucked up courage and took the BANANA that looks like a cigar :rofl: out to Bonny who is currently very busy playing with her Purringo winnings :thanks: Aunty Tannikins :hug: heres some pics. I think you will all agree she is looking much better and putting on much needed weight.
Now Aunty Helen head boshing is not my style so this morning I decided to give the 6 wee muckspots their first ever baking lesson and very good they are, in fact they have worked so hard they have gone into their pen to rest leaving me the ardous task of sampling the goodies :rofl: We have made a giant tray bake Bakewell tart and a Grannys magic sponge cake( Victoria sponge), both still in the oven;the 12 fairy cakes are still being sampled I was not sure whether to mark them 11 out of 10 after eating the first one so am now eating no 2 :rofl: superb.
-
I absolutely should NO be peeking on here while at work (I know, I know) but to see Bonnie so blissfully distracted is wonderful ;D
Am now dribbling slightly at the thought of Grannie's magic sponge cake and bakewell tart..... :drool;
-
:wow: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Wonderful to see Bonny enjoying herself ;D She does look loads better T thanks to you hun ;D :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Lol won't be long before she will be blissfully having a snooze with narna close by! :) they do stinky don't they! Ya wouldn't believe it but i have even more stinkie stuff coming in next month in the form of Valerian. Now that really does pong to high heaven!
Hmmm cakes sound lovely :) Did the littluns help with the fairy cakes! :evillaugh:
-
Oh look at Bonny with her banana ,she looks soo much better too! :Luv2:
The cakes sound lovely , lucky I am so far away or I may have had to come round and test them...............
-
What a lovely girl Bonny is and she looks very happy with her new cigar that is cunningly disguised as a banana :)
-
Oh bless her! She is a beauty!!!
-
Looks like Bonny loves that Banananananannanana!
-
Looks like Bonny loves that Banananananannanana!
Shes had the time of her life with it and I can def recommend them. She was so high on it her pill went in out in out half a dozen times before going down a soggy catnipped mess :rofl:
-
Lovely pictures :Luv:
-
Sorry to hear the pain is making it a bit difficult for you to do all you want to. You still do such an amazing job despite everything against you...its really admirable :)
I know you hate hearing things like that T but its true...your a superwoman!
Lots of love to all at The Inn
P.S. I'm glad some of the Innmates are earning their keep by helping you bake ;)

Good news Melody`s kitten Marmite went off to her new home which she will share with Harry a former Paws Inn resident of 3 years ago. Shortly afterwards Hannibal Lektacat went off to his new home where he will be an only pampered puss.
A very busy morning with Bonnys kittens, they have grown and became too big for their collapsible Pen, we are so full we have nowhere to move them onto ,and so our only option was to make one giant pen from two smaller ones, Rob worked really hard and soon our muckspots had double the space and were so happy with the new arrangements; Claire took loads of pictures and we sat for ages watching our kittenvision, it was wonderful.

Great pictures and hope you are feeling a tad better I am off to the Docs with my back and RSI hands as painkillers no good currently
On a lighter note our junior hooligans Charlie and Echo has their boosters today and Programme and have no ill effects
They are sending "kitten hooligan" thoughts to all junior members at Paws Inn :rofl:
-
They are just adorable!!!!!! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

:Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Finally been able to get on this thread, and what wonderful pics. Hope things are a bit better for you T.
-
You're right T - I am loooong overdue at the Inn! Will hopefully get myself 'straight' this week after freelancing for the last few weeks so will be in touch soon re a visit :) it's time to dig out the winter coat which means lots of extra pockets :evillaugh:
My OH has been tinkering with my PC and I used to be logged in automatically - for some reason his tinkering had logged me out and I was scracthing his head whilst reading these updates - what the devil is all this banana talk about I wondered?!? - then remembered you had to log-in to see pics and it suddenly all made sense :rofl:
So glad Marmite and Hannibal have gone to forever homes. How's the lovely Christoper and James getting on?
-
Hope all is well at the Inn, humans and furries alike. :hug: Sadly the latest pics wont download for me but I'm sure they're wonderful. Has Annabel had her babies yet? I seem to remember today the day if she didn't give birth naturally before then. Apologies if you've already mentioned her and I've missed it.
-
Hope you are ready for purringo tomorrow T, I am comin for ya!!!! :evillaugh:
-
Hope you are ready for purringo tomorrow T, I am comin for ya!!!! :evillaugh:
I wish someone would come and get me :rofl:
All the cats are fine and Annabel has just had another scan which reveals huge healthy babies so Andy vet wants to wait longer unless things go wrong, just as well as I was hit with yet another vet bill for £875 for only 3 weeks, told vet its not on, I have been reminded that I get 25% discount but what good is that when you`ve over 60 cats and only enough funds to survive another 3 weeks. Note to self "Time to pull socks up and stop moaning"
-
Glad Annabel is ok and her little ones. Looks like they are going to be big little ones then! :-:
Sending lots of love over to the Inn :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Blimey T that is a steep bill! :hug: :hug:

Blimey T that is a steep bill! :hug: :hug:
Afraid its that much every 3weeks lately.
I had a very emotive moment early yesterday evening when I was out checking Sophies 7 tiny kittens, I was checking eyes and full tummy when I spotted he had one , :Luv: :Luv: The tabby and white boy has the most beautiful and perfect Busters tabby beauty spot, I couldnt believe it and just for a daft minute I thought my Buster had come back, I think I am getting too soft and emotive to continue much longer.
Annabel is still dancing around like the sugar plum fairy with no sign of kittens.
Melody has been sick this morning so hoping its nothing bad.
6 muckspots have been treated to wormer this morning, they are all washing themselves after a fashion now so hopefully no more baths, they have a new favourite game, seeing how many can squash into one space in my wine rack, Sunflower discovered it to be a good hidey hole when wormer came out.
Will try and get pis of that beauty spot later.
-
guess where I`ve been

and

more

Julie is here cat cuddling today so I have given her the camera and asked her to get pics of some of the ones I missed yesterday.
Tan, been thinking you have a catproofed garden, lots of toys to play with in purrs shop and tenas to impregnate with catnip if cats get bored, so I will pop a first class stamp on Sergeant Ubend for you :rofl: right best do it while hes small enough to push through letterbox :rofl:
-
Forgot to mention that Marmite was returned this morning, she failed to impress the existing cat who left home until she moved out.
-
poor Marmite, you either love her or you hate her is what the other cat is muttering no doubt x

Really hope the rehoming picks up for you :hug:

What a lot of black/black/white beauties!!!!! :Luv2: :Luv2: Can't believe James and Christopher still there... :(
-
Oh my the handbag will now be a suitcase with airholes - you have some stunning babies there and oh the blacks are calling to me :shocked: :Luv2:
-
I love Christopher and James, if I win a toy at Purringo it will be coming to James x
-
Aww they are all just so beautiful!!! :Luv:
-
I want to come and live at Paws in. Grace is stunning!
-
I want to come and live at Paws in. Grace is stunning!
How soon can you move in ? I now have a single bed free in the feral cat room, you share with 4 :rofl:
Incidentally Grace is mother to Faith, Hope, Charity and Jobe and we think sister to Melody and Aunty to Minxy and Marmite, if you take the job lot I will throw Flora (with the white tash that you like) as an extra :rofl:
-
Deal.
Actually all the black cats there are gorgeous, well all the cats are gorgeous but I hate that black cats overlooked.
-
Deal.

Christopher has been here for 2 years now.
-
Stunning, each and every one of them. :)
-
What!! Oh my. I just flicked onto your website to see him. What a stunner he is.
That is so sad.
poor poor lad. Oh well I know how I will be giving a gift too at Purringo
-
Christopher has been here for 2 years now.
TWO years-just :Crazy: He's stunning! :Luv2:
-
Haven't been on this thread for a few days. What gorgeous, gorgeous pics. Believe me T, I am so, so, so tempted to catnap Christopher and James. They are both such handsome hunks :Luv2: :Luv: do you think they could cope as indoor only cats?
So sorry to that Marmite's been returned. I know you only home to good people so I can only assume that it was a heartbraking decision for them to make as well. Still, they didn't seem to give it that long. How has mum cat Melody taken to her on her return?
In case anyone's still interested then there's still some ' I love Paws Inn' t-shirts available (www.muckypawstore.com/pawsinn for details).
Hope all my fellow Purrs members are well :)
-
They are all so adorable Theresa :Luv:
-
Those who are very close to me know that I have been terrified of October arriving, well its here and got up this morning to find my 6 muckspots in a right mess, at least one had sicked all over the pen and 5 have refused breakfast. They had day 2 of wormer yesterday but I doubt that has caused it, a couple of them feel slightly warm so its going to be a trip to vet.
And Annabel has still not produced.
Forget Ides of March
Beware the Orrors of October
Roll on the merry month of May.
-
Haven't been on this thread for a few days. What gorgeous, gorgeous pics. Believe me T, I am so, so, so tempted to catnap Christopher and James. They are both such handsome hunks :Luv2: :Luv: do you think they could cope as indoor only cats?
T, did you miss this ?, glimmer of a new home for Christoper and James perhaps :Luv2:
-
Lol DaisyMac - OH insists that we should 'calm down with the cats' before we get anymore. I think if they all had outside access then it wouldn't be so much of an issue.
Hopefully we're going to do some serious work on the back garden next spring which will provide them with safe outdoor access and then I can cram them in to my hearts content! :rofl:
Seriously though I fear he's right.....for now.....in all honesty I really need to get my finances in order as I'm self-employed and need to make sure the correct cash flow is there. I really hate doing the 'sensible' thing but it's only fair on the furries to be like that I guess.
Hope your little man-beast Kenny has fully settled in :)
-
Sorry to hear the little muckspots are a bit poorly T, hope it's nothing too bad and they are soon up to their tricks again :hug:
And Annabel - come on get a move on girl :evillaugh:
-
The news on Annabel STILL pregnant, vet is in disbelief :rofl: If I hadnt seen the babies on the scans I would be convinced she had swallowed a beach ball.
Muckspots have all got normal temps but because of the toxo element Andy has given them all a course of antibiotics just incase. I realised I had made matters worse by overdosing on wormer, cruel me was counting a pound as a kilogram so poor muckspots have completed 3 days now at double amount,I did confess to the vet who I confess to telling off for doing the exact same thing to Bonny when he wormed her. He didnt get time to tell me off as I almost collapsed and had to leave Rob to deal with things as I left the room.
Good news is he does not want to go down the repeat blood test route with Bonny like one of his colleagues suggested, he will check her weight, condition etc next Tuesday and all being well is going to spay her along with Grace and Melody. I have been told muckspots and mum should be ok for vaccinations in about 2 weeks and he sees no reason why they cant become friends if one of my giant pens become available;as for rehoming providing they are not rehomed to pregnant women they will have the all clear, so a little ray of hope.
-
Good news that it's nothing serious with the muckspots. I confess I have trouble with kilograms, I still use pounds and ounces I'm afraid :rofl:
Annabel is obviously far too comfy and enjoying the attention, she's not keen to share it with any newcomers :rofl:
Positive news on Bonny and great that they are going to be ok to home, here's hoping some fab homes come along soon for all your babies.
Hope you are feeling ok now too T, please take care :hug:
-
Just been catching up with the kitten pictures, they are all so cute and lovable :) Big hugs to all of them :Luv2:
-
What a lovely load of new pictures to come home to! ;D
-
I have had a nother look today. T, I have so much love and respect for the work you and the other rescues do, I really really do. I find these threads positive and upsetting in equal does but am glad you are there!
-
I so wish I would win the lottery as I would love Melody or Grace to live here (even if Amber wouldnt :evillaugh:) They are so beautiful
love
Tab
-
Hope Muckspots quickly pick up and Annabel will be ok :hug:
[spoiler]Hunt -This wonderful stunning black feral lad is a huge loved part of a large Scottish family with mum Liz, Just read his story!. Careful though, he is a bit unhandlable! [/spoiler]
-
My little Muckspots ate their breakfast like a pack of hungry wolves and had the time of their lives running round the kitchen, think its safe to say they are feeling better.
Annabel is Still pregnant.
Got 2 lots of viewings lined up today, one couple looking for 1 black female ( think I have a very large selection of these) :rofl: the other people are coming to meet Faith and Joel fingers crossed.
Update Joel and Faith now reserved going early this evening.Next viewing midday.
-
Woohoo good news!! Do you think the people that want a black female could be persuaded to take an extra one or two...maybe even a whole family of blacks lol!! Good luck for Midday :D
-
How brilliant!! glad Faith got a home, which one is Joel? Can't wait to hear which black cats chosen!! :catplay2:
-
How brilliant!! glad Faith got a home, which one is Joel? Can't wait to hear which black cats chosen!! :catplay2:
Human error he is called Jobe. People thinking about 2 now but spoilt for choice so they have gone home to discuss it.
-
Oh I wondered if it was Jobe. Excellent!!
Which two did they like then T?
Do you think they will come back?
-
Wonderful to see fab pics hun
And oh dear Noodles is a stunner :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
I'm with Tab on this ... and i actually had a dream last night that i actually would like to be a mad cat woman wit a 1 acre of cat proofed land off the forest, a nice big house with the whole inside with beams and cat walks. I actually was dreamin of driving round all our rescues and adopting from each rescue ;D ;D ;D there are so many wonderful cats i would love to love. ;D
This dream then turned into a much bigger acre ground with a cattery place and a live in vet who does it all foe free :wow: ;D
hmm it's good to have dreams to wish for hey! Better start me driving lessons again 1st! :evillaugh:
So glad Muckpots are feeling better and darlin Annabel is def waiting for something! Give them all cuggle from me hun.
Home more good rehoming news later ;D Wonderful Faith & Jobe have a home ;D
Brill news about Bonny too hun ;D How is she today?
-
Si they genuinely liked Charity and Faith, Marmite and Minxy and Bumty and Co, so its anyones guess; I feel certain they will be back.
Annabel still pregnant, have been wondering is she could have been artificially inseminated by Great Dane, or elephant nuff said :rofl:
-
Think Annabel as Ann says is enjoying all the fuss hun and don't want to share! :evillaugh:
-
Fingers crossed the good rehoming spurt today starts a trend ;D
-
Poor Annabel, can cats have hot curries? :evillaugh:
-
Fingers crossed!!! (and Paws)
-
So glad things are looking up for some of the Inn residents :Luv2:
Tan - I am that mad woman you described with land and a lot of cats - it only takes 9 hours to cut the grass on the sit on lawnmower - we have 6 acres inc the paddock and then the woods! :rofl:
-
Just picked up call on answering machine mum and kittens in a shed and now its colder they need bringing in, why didnt they call weeks ago, they are in for a shock because I have no room.
Thought you`d all be thrilled to hear about Annabel
Still pregnant :rofl:
-
STILL?????????? :Crazy:
-
Just flying in as I know you are all waiting for Annabels news with baited breath
Still Pregnant :-:
-
:shocked:
-
Teresa, just popping by to give hugs to all Purrs inmates - hoomin or furry, and to tell you that it's not October if you don't want it to be - let's call it Octember instead ;) :hug: :hug:
-
The people who came yesterday have reserved Faith and Charity to go next Saturday. We have also had people here viewing this afternoon, we are hoping they have fallen for Binny and Barty so fingers crossed. I have someone coming to meet Christopher and James on Wednesday so it will be huge everything crossed for those lovely boys.
Annabel is very fat :rofl:
All inmates, happy and well, muckspots fully recovered from me trying to do them in with panacur :rofl:
-
Wow what fab news T!!! Fingers crossed for both sets of potential adopters but especially hope those people want to home Christopher and James :D
Are you sure Annabel is not an elephant in disguise lol??
-
T - I am confused. I thought Faith and Jobe had been reserved by one couple - now you say Faith and Charity? You haven't double booked have you?
-
T - I am confused. I thought Faith and Jobe had been reserved by one couple - now you say Faith and Charity? You haven't double booked have you?
Si I am a confused old boot, 2 of Graces went yesterday, 2 left reserved for next saturday.
Its Annabels fault still no babies.
The person coming to meet Christopher and James is a forum member, guesses fiver each into Buster memorial fund :rofl:Tan banned from guessing :rofl: :rofl:
-
I bet its little scruff like me she has a thing for wonderful shiny black cats ;D :Luv2:
-
Oh that will be cool for Christopher and james to get a home! woooohoooo!
-
I bet its little scruff like me she has a thing for wonderful shiny black cats ;D :Luv2:
Didin't lil_scruff's OH say no more at the moment, Liz-unless she's managed to talk him round?? :rofl:
Lovely updates T-so glad the rehoming seems to be going well :hug: :hug:
-
We have ways and means of getting what we want - :shocked: :rofl: :sneaky:
Mine just goes abroad or works away from home and comes home to whatever is here - am hoping this time it will be the last one Master Spyder :evillaugh:
-
Tis not little scruff :rofl:Anyway the person hasnt met them yet, maybe she wont like them, maybe she will fall for a different pair we shall have to wait and see, I will ask her permission to name her if she does reserve the boys on Wednesday.
Not sure if I should mention Annabel today so instead I shall move on to the 6 muckspots who are doing wonderfully well, eating me out of house and home and having such fun, talking of fun James was feeling a little on the naughty side this morning and when Rob left the kitchen roll within his reach he very frugally stole just 3 squares and had an absolute ball shredding it bless him.
Sophies 7 little kittens are like tiny dolls, little action dollskitties, far too tiny to do anything but wanting to climb mountains already.I still havent decided on names for any of them,probably just as well when I get so confused.
All cats/kittens happy and well.
Back to Annabel anyone remember Jabba the Hutt, thats what she looks like right now :rofl: :rofl:
-
Will be exciting news if more Purrs peeps are adopting from you T ;D ;D ;D
Shall wait patiently for news ............... nah, you know me...........TELL US NOW TELL US TELL US TELL US :rofl: :rofl:
-
These are for Si and to sort out my own confused mind.
Jobe and Hope went to new home Saturday.
Faith and Charity going to new home this coming Saturday.
-
Awww bless them! How cute! Hope they all settle in well and have a very happy life in their new 'forever' homes :Luv:
-
Poor Annabel - she must be fit to pop, bless her. Lovely piccies though :wow: All very dlishush lil puds :Luv:
-
I just love black and white cats. They are so gorgeous!
-
Alas it's not me viewing James and Christopher. I don't have any regrets in picking Scamp/Chico and Scrumpberry/Blackberry as I love them very much but now I know more about rescue and rehoming I do feel very guilty that I choose to have kittens rather than fully grown cats like Chris and James. Both myself and OH definately agree that the next feline addition(s) we have will be older black male(s) but only time will tell when that happens.
Poor Annabel! Are you sure she's pregnant T or just a bit on the chubby side? :rofl: Can cats be induced like humans can be? get some vindaloo in her supper tonight!
Glad the rest of the inmates are well. I really do love these updates :)
-
T - confused - No
Senile!
**runs!
Those pictures are goooorrrrggggggggggeous!
I am so glad I don't live near Paws inn! I would have more cats than you! :rofl:
Thanks for posting xx
-
Annabel resented being described as Jabba the Hutt, she is currently very busy cleaning off baby No 2.
-
Thats great news,Hope all goes well.
-
Yayyy well done darlin Annabel Hope it's not too painful love :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Yay! It's about time!! :Luv: Go Annabel!

Keeping everything crossed for Annabel :Luv2:
-
Hope things go well and its just a matter of overseeing for you.
-
Oh Gosh - she's podding! ;D Come on Annabel, sweetie. We're all rooting for you :hug:
-
Awwww hope she's ok-the babies must be HUGE!! :tired:
-
Hope all is well with mum and kittens.
-
Hope all is going (or has gone) well for Annabel. :hug: :hug: :hug: to all at the Inn

Today has been one of those days when your feet dont seem to touch the ground.
Melody, Grace and Bonny have all been spayed today and we are delighted to report that Bonny is up from a paltry 2 kg to 3.2kg.
Annabel did her ballerina dance as usual this morning then shocked us all by giving birth,she had 2 kittens when we left her just after 1pm as I had a hospital appointment, , just had a very quick peep and she has at least 3 in there, will be going in for feeding and tidy up soon so dont want to disturb her till then.
We called in Tesco on way from hospital as Whiskas sachets 2 boxes of 12 for £4 so we bought 30 boxes adult and 20 boxes kitten.
More later
-
A very quiet yaaaaaaay so as not to disturb the new mum ;D
-
A very quiet yaaaaaaay so as not to disturb the new mum ;D
New mum has just done a little ballerina dance in thanks for her tea and didnt bat an eyelid when I changed the bedding (something I dont usually do for first few days but it was very wet and dirty)
Considering vet scanned her twice and told us only 2 but possible 3rd one hiding, we are now on 4 and amazingly there is not a pure black amongst them.
-
well done Annabel!
-
awww well done annabel!
-
Awww congratulations!!!
Well done Annabel!!
-
Finally! :evillaugh: Hope the little ones are fit & healthy :)
-
yay!! Congrats Annabel.

Yay!!! Congratulations Annabel!!! :Luv:
-
Not one Black babe? :-: T you must be upset about that hun, being ya have no little blacks in at the mo! :-: ;) :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Lovely to hear she and her little 4 are doing well.
Sending love and hugs over to you all :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Yay for Annabel ;D
-
So pleased Annabel has delivered safely - am astonished there are no blacks, but dying to know what colours they are ;D Also pleased to hear that Annabel has done her little ballerina dance throughout - she clearly has an eye to a trim figure, post partum. ;)
Was also pleased to learn Bonny has gained "respeckabul weyt" as Paddy would say. :hug:
Hugs to you too Teresa - you must be exhausted after all the excitement. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Glad there is some good news.

Total chaos this morning, had a dash to vets with Annabel and her kittens also 2 of my muckspots. First of all muckspots , one has been sick unsure which but 2 refused breakfast so been checked over and given zantac injection.
Annabel produced yet another kitten in the night a rather large stillborn, this morning I thought she looked as if there may be another to come so Andy scanned her again .
Got lady due to meet Christopher and James in next few minutes and still not finished the work.
more later.

Poor Annabel. Hope she is ok.

RIP little one xx
Hope Annabel is going to be OK :care: Any news on the potential home for Christopher & James? :wow:
-
RIP X

Hello everyone
I’d like to reveal myself as Christopher and James’s secret admirer. I lost my beautiful black boy Woody nine weeks ago and while he is irreplaceable, these two :'( :'( :)equally beautiful black boys have just the right qualities to return me to mad cat woman status.
I went to visit them today; they purred a lot, I grinned a lot and Teresa and I talked a lot. And once I’ve sorted out carriers ‘n’ stuff they should be coming home with me next week.
:)
-
:wooooo: :1st place: Frances :wow:
Very sorry to hear of your loss :hug: So pleased that you've got room in your heart for these two gorgeous boys :) :hug:
-
Oh that is brilliant Frances, I was really touched by hearing how long Christopher had
had to put up with Teresa been at Paws inn so I am chuffed.
It sounds like you have a bit of a black cat thing going on (with Woody - RIP too) as another Black cat owner, they are great aren't they!
You do know you have to keep us updated on how they are don't you! :welcome:
-
Aww I just trawled back to have another look at their pics. they are soooo handsome!!
-
Fantastic news, Frances!! ;D I saw them at the Summer Social and when i went in June and they're gorgeous! :Luv2: So pleased for them and you! :hug: :hug: :hug:
Sorry about Woody :hug: :hug:
-
Hi Frances,
You've certainly picked a pair of gorgeous fellas there. They're both such lovely and gentle cuddlebums. So sorry to hear about Woody. So sad he won't be able to meet his new 'brothers' but I'm sure he's watching and grinning down on you all.
I'm a black cat fancier myself - I've three in total, two of which have come from Teresa. She certainly rears excellent cats!
It would be lovely if you could post an update on how they settle in.
x
So sorry to hear about Annabell's stillborn. That poor girl's really been through a tough time :(
-
So Frances - I see you've been "outed" :evillaugh: :hug: Well done on your choice of babies, and am very sorry to learn of you losing Woody. As you say, he can't ever be replaced, but these two will bring you love and character and pleasure which is unique to them, just as Woody was so very special in a totally individual way. Am sure he would approve your decision. :hug:
Teresa, hope the little muckspots are all doing well today, and of course the "byeeeoooteeful Laydees" wot "got dun" yesterday, as Paddy so charmingly phrases it. :innocent: Also sending little snoozles for Annabel and her little brood.
-
am glad you have fallen in love with them Frances - although having met them twice, I can't see how you couldnt'. I have a soft spot for pure blacks myself. Am sure Woody will be very pleased that you have helped two needy cats.
-
I am so happy for Christopher and James, they really are two of my favourite cats at the Inn, Frances you will soon be back on your way to mad cat woman status, they are great boys :hug: I have two Paws Inn boys and they are wonderful :Luv2:
So sorry to hear about Annabel's baby :hug:
-
Oooh yay! What brilliant news! :cat rub: :yayyy: :yayyy:
-
Wonderful news ;D It just goes to show that the right home is out there for every babe it just takes some longer to come along than others ;D
Sorry to hear about Woody Frances but I'm sure he would be pleased that you have found room in you heart for these two gorgeous boys. :welcome: to Purrs too
-
Thanks everyone for your welcome.
It's been very weird being catless - something that some of you probably can't remember! I think I confuddled myself by starting to look way too early; so many cats needing homes, who would be right for me (and me be the right person for them). Christopher and James just clicked and they've also taken to me.
I can't wait to get them home and will start a thread in Cat Chat to update you all. Photos too (I know it's in the roolz).
:)
-
Hi Frances and :welcome:
Congrats on your soon to be new arrivals :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:welcome: to Purrs Frances!
Many congrats on your new additions! ;D :Luv:
-
:welcome: Frances. It's great that James and Christopher will have a lovely new home with you soon.
-
Welcome to Purrs - thats two lovely lads you shall have coming to dictate their every need! :evillaugh:
-
Had a day of catching up today as Francis and I did spend a long time talking yesterday, Christopher and James are I am sure looking forward to going to their new home.
Annabel has settled well into motherhood and is proud of her 3 daughters and 1 son, for the benefit of Aunty Suepoo and others who are too scared to ask, 2 girls are beautiful black/white, the 3rd is a tortie just like her mum and little boy would do Unkle Paddyyy proud, he is a ginger.
Bonny, Grace and Melody seem to be getting over their spays very well, just need to find some wonderful homes for them.
Muckspots all eating well and seem to be ok again, I think they seem to keep getting sympathy sickness with Helens Lu and Riley :rofl:
Just had a phonecall from gentleman who came on Sunday, he and his wife are going to adopt Binny and Barty in 2 weeks time so I feel much cheered.
I took time out earlier today to visit my parents grave (something my health has not allowed me to do for a long time) anyway it hit really hard that all they had worked for in life had gone and I was left feeling really tearful and sorry for myself thinking why do we bother, came home and saw the muckspots all lounging contentedly in the kitchen and got the call offering the home to Binny and Barty , I realise all the they worked for hasnt gone, I`m still here.
Thankfully all the cats are happy and well and we now have 6 very lucky felines reserved.
Kirst keep meaning to tell you lady who adopted Twinkle has joined forum so hopefully she will update everyone in time, meanwhile Twinkle rules the roost.
-
awww T that is a lovely post.
Lots of love xx

So glad that all is well at the Inn xxx Brilliant news on all the rehoming

-
Not a lot to report today, all ticking over ok apart from Sunflower and Kiev Muckspot who didnt want breakfast, I think some of these muckspots may have me wrapped round there little paw though, feeling desperately ill this morning I was struggling on my knees trying to scrub their Pen and they did their very best to steal dustpan, cleaning cloths etc, then they demanded I hurry up and put the food in, 6 kittens = 3 dishes all put into a nice clean Pen and said muckspots dived on it, then Kiev said No thanks, followed by Sunflower, at first I thought they must be ill then I looked at the pouches, Tuna and Cod flavours, think I am being had by fussy kittens who are after all Chicken kittys :rofl:, so we shall see.Managed to crawl outside still in pyjamas and furry dressing gown covered in mucky cat litter and I couldnt stop coughing, Milly feral to the rescue up on my knee and rubbing herself all over my face and body ,even worse now I couldnt breathe, its taken me 3 hours to calm that cough.
With muckspots like these is it any wonder I havent time to go into great detail about all the others who are doing just fine.
-
Hey missus. You need this: :cuddle:
-
Where's that magic wand that cures all ills! I so wish i could find it for you hun. :Luv: Till then send you loads of hugs an thoughts of you and all at the Inn.
Little muckspots sound so cheeky ;D Just the way they should be to keep Auntie T on her toes. :)
Get some rest hun :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Frances and I did spend a long time talking yesterday
:-[ We did cover Life, the Universe and Everything and time just flew by!
:)
-
Do ya reckon you will change their names and if so what have ya been thinking of. :)
Thanks for the welcome Tan.
I think as they are now "grown-ups" I'll keep their "proper" names as they are and keep trying variations to see what they respond to. Chris and Jimmy would certainly will be easier to call them with.
However if they are norty boyz (surely not!) they'll be Christopher and James! ;D
:)
-
I feel so ill but got to share some more good news.
Tan you are just too slow at the old catnappin because Sergeant U Bend has been reserved :yayyy: by someone else, he isnt old enough yet but as soon as he is he will be going to live with 3 ex Paws Inn cats
Bill and Ted

-

Fasntastic about Sergeant U-bend tho (I do hope they keep the name! :evillaugh:)

Oh no, Angie, poor babies :'( What happens to them when rescues can't take them? :scared: Surley the Government should step in and do something, though what i don't know-even free neutering vouchers obviously doesn't work with some people! >:( Maybe give money to the independant rescues but if you've physically got no room, you can't take any more cats! Aaaaaargh!!!!! Would help with vets bills tho and you wouldn't have to go out fundraising all the time and be worn out! :tired: :hug: :hug:More great news on the rehoming front! :wow: Sorry you feel so poorly T, wish you'd got more helpers-can't you relocate Paws Inn to the Midlands? ; :hug: :hug: and try to have a little time to yourself-easier said that done ,i know with all those inmates! :Luv2: :Luv2:

Stop worrying I am looking after me, just working hard trying to find every possible home I can; only people with giant shoplifting pockets allowed here :rofl:
Even when the 7 reserved ones have gone we will still have another 50 here and its worrying me sick.I am becoming older on a daily basis now :rofl: :rofl:
-
50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blimey!
-
Ya know i don't think i have known a time since Purrs started that all the rescues are all at bursting point as they are now with so many kittens and cats in to care for and huge vet bills :( :(
I so worry about each of you and i so wish i had the money to help you, all of you. It really does upset me that the less unfortunate with money are the caring giving ones and the ones with the money the rich in this world are finding it hard to make the decision at which £5000 dress/suit to buy. Me .. I would wear a rag to give the rescues the £5000!
My love goes out to you all. The world would be such an awful place without you. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Teresa - you are not "old". Ever read the story of the Velveteen Rabbit?
There's a beautiful piece in the story where the velveteen rabbit talks to the skin horse about becoming "real":
"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
"I suppose you are real?" said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not said it, for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive. But the Skin Horse only smiled.
"The Velveteen Rabbit's companionship with the boy lasts until the boy falls ill with scarlet fever. The boy becomes too ill to play for a very long time; upon his recovery, he is sent to the seaside on doctor's orders. The doctor orders all the toys the boy has played with, including the Rabbit, be burned in order to disinfect the nursery. The boy is given a new plush rabbit and is so excited about the trip to the seaside that he forgets his old Velveteen Rabbit. While awaiting the bonfire, in which the Velveteen Rabbit will be burned, the Rabbit cries a real tear. This tear brings forth the Nursery Magic Fairy. She tells the Rabbit that he was only real to the boy, and then brings him to the woods and kisses him, making him real to everybody. He soon discovers that he is a real rabbit at last and runs to join the other rabbits in the wild."
Teresa - don't you ever forget how "real" you are to us. Yes? :hug: :hug:
-
Ya know i don't think i have known a time since Purrs started that all the rescues are all at bursting point as they are now with so many kittens and cats in to care for and huge vet bills :( :(
My love goes out to you all. The world would be such an awful place without you. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
We are all so full because of a number of things,but the problem will continue to get worse as a result of our own success; modern medicine/technology provides the tools and you wonderful people provide the support. More lives saved and a few extra hearts broken too.
Thank you everybody for All you do :hug: :hug:
Now Aunty Suepoo about that rabbit, loose in the joints and very shabby, sounds just like me :rofl: :rofl: its not the age thing that concerns me its the wearing out bit, I feel like a patched up model already :rofl:
-
You might be a bit "patched up" Teresa, but you've earned your "special" status. :hug: :hug: ;)
-
I hope that rabbit was neutered before being sent out to become a feral. :evillaugh:
-
I dread to think about what happens next in all honesty it is just too horrible thinking about it. :'(
-
I hope that rabbit was neutered before being sent out to become a feral. :evillaugh:
Just to save you all an added worry I was spayed on 21st January 1977 the day after my youngest was born :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: no ear nick needed on my release :rofl: :rofl:
-
Wow...Congratulations Annabel!!!
And...Congratulations Aunty T!!! You must be an aunty to sooooooooo many furbabies now.
Glad everyone is doing well, those naughty muck spots trying to trick you.
Oooo I nearly forgot...also great news on the new homes! I know its only the tip of the iceburg but its a start at least and hopefully the sign of things to come :D

Been a very busy day today and tomorrow is going to be busier as we need to have a major reshuffle, kittens growing at an alarming rate and needing bigger pens, whats new.
Poor little muckspots went to vet this morning, poor Julie was given directions and slip of paper along with the 6 of them and asked to take them for me as Rob had gone to cash/carry and I was stuck here waiting for Faith and Charity`s new parents. We are instructed to save several days poop, doesnt matter from which kitten just mix it all up and then send to lab as poop cocktail see if we can find any evidence of toxoplasmosis as kittens too small for bloods, it is starting to look as though it may be the Lu/Riley virus (sorry Helen :hug: do hope yours are improving).
Faith and Charity have gone to their new home and I was told they have been renamed as Puddle and Splash, so dont think my names were appreciated :rofl:
Today is a day that I put down to celebrate, a day when I have achieved something for ME not cats but ME and I promised myself a treat, well I`m too tired to celebrate but will share my wonderful news
Today is 1 full year of being a Non Smoker, I feel so proud, I can hardly believe that I finally found the will power.
-
well done Teresa in what you've achieved [in being a non smoker and the kittens!]. Personally I much prefer Faith and Charity
-
well done T - and I'm sure your lungs will be celebrating too
Splash and Puddle - talk about tempting fate :evillaugh:

Crikey, it's a busy thread this is :evillaugh:
Glad to hear things going well but sooo hectic, look after yourself too T and well done no ciggies for a year :hug:
-
Congratulations on your first no smoking anniversary! :hug: So proud of you!

We are all fit to drop, major reshuffle taken place with some very lucky mums and babies given the luxury pens and some less fortunate evicted to smaller ones.
Muckspots are all eating again this morning but I have a feeling that Kentucky will be next to strike, they are running me ragged thats for sure.
Chelsea(almost feral on arrival) has been moved to the summerhouse with her 3 kittens Dainty, Dodger and Dinky the grey pretender, they love it out there. Dodger has weepy eyes so keeping close watch and meds administered, Chelsea has always had trouble with snorting etc since she arrived here.
Some pics of Chelsea and kittens enjoying new Pen
-
Chelsea`s kittens.
Julie is busy outside with camera as I type so hopefully she will manage some of all the others including newborns.
-
Little beauties! :Luv:
-
The other lucky recipients of the luxury kitten pen in the summerhouse was Sophies and her 7 kittens, some of which are looking longhaired. I am ashamed to say I still havent named these yet.
-
Just realised Julie hasnt taken pic of mum Sophie.
Melody, Grace, Marmite and Minxy have been moved to smaller Pens.
-
Heres Cherry and her 3 little sinkers :rofl:
-
Suuuuuuuuuuuuper cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
I'll have the little tabby and white long=-hair please!!!! :naughty:
-
Heres Annabel with her new babies. On the day Annabel gave birth we heard the very sad news that Norman Wisdom had died, well only right that annabels only boy should be called Norman Wisdom :rofl:
Last pic of Bonny filling out nicely.
-
Loving all these pictures T (especially now that I'm back on broadband and can see them all properly). The change in Bonny is amazing - she looks so healthy and contented. :Luv2:
-
Annabel and her milkbar
-
Beautiful pictures, as always! :Luv2: Can't believe the change in Bonny since the Summer Social-she looks great! :Luv2: Well done you! :hug:
-
Lovely pictures Teresa . . . some suggestions for Sophie's magnificent seven . . .
seven dwarfs: Grumpy Happy Dopey Sneezy Sleepy Bashful Doc
seven sisters (Pleiades): Maia Electra Taygete Alcyone Celaeno Sterope Merope (you could use Zeus Poseidon Ares for any boys)
seven seas: Fars Larwi Harkand Kalah Salahit Kardanj Sanji
(locations of) the seven wonders of the world: Giza Babylon Olympia Ephesus Halicarnassus Rhodes Alexandria
(I really should be doing something useful, like cleaning the kitchen floor, but I'm easily sidetracked!) :naughty:
:)
-
Great pictures. I dont know why but I expected Annabel to be an all black not a tortie. Very cute
love
Tab
-
Love those pictures and think Norman Wisdom is a great name - a lovely tribute!
Frances, I thought of the dwarves immediately too. ;)
-
I'm starting to take this a bit personally now Teresa >:(
First there was Marigold, a one off maybe. Then Sgt U-bend, a coincidence perhaps. Now Norman Wisdom - this is victimisation of the highest degree, just as I get over one ginger stunner you pop out another one :Luv2: :evillaugh:
:1st place: on your anniversary :hug:
Seeing the pics just overwhelms me how many little lives you are looking after, hope you have a run on rehoming soon :hug:
-
T, am sending you lots of long distance snuzzles and a huge cuddle, my friend. You are, as always, amazing.
Missing you loads. xx
The Claw says you need to to visit us here in NY, she misses the taste of your blood ;) :evillaugh:
-
Oh noes - I log on, and it's cute kitten overload!!! :Crazy: :Crazy:
I love Sophie's "grumpy one" - and Dainty - and Dinky! (And I'm not even going to mention Norman Wisdom! ;) ) :Luv2:
-
Wonderful pics T (although unfortunatley my comp isn't showing me Bonny's pic). Good luck with them all, anc congrats on a year of no smoking.
-
Awww little Norman. :Luv: :Luv: I think my heart just melted.
-
Just catching up with all the wonderful photos :Luv2: such gorgeous babes all of them but Sophie's grumpy one and Norman W have stolen my heart :Luv2: :Luv2: Bonny is looking great, she reminds me so much of my Dylan, she has the same markings.
Well done on your one year anniversary too T ;D
-
Soooooooooo many cuties - all very lucky to have found their way to Auntie T! :Luv2:
Well done on your first year as a non smoker! :hug:
-
Wonderful photos, as always - many congrats on a smoke free year Teresa ;D
-
Morning Aunty T. Sending all at the Inn much love, and tons of snoozles - to be liberally administered throughout the day ;) :hug: Hope you're not feeling too bad this morning - you've had pretty Herculean tasks to perform this last week. :hug: :hug:
-
These pictures are absolutely gorgeous :Luv2: keep up the good work :hug:
-
Hope all is well at The Inn with both humans and furries. :hug: :hug:
-
Where you been T?? Hope you is not in the nasty hospital again!
-
Where you been T?? Hope you is not in the nasty hospital again!
Sorry the kittens captured me :rofl: honestly just couldnt take my eyes off them, I am ok just very overworked.
Sophie and her 7 babies have settled fairly well in the summerhouse but at just 4 weeks their toilet habits leave much to be desired so lots of extra work and litter training needed.
Chelsea loves her new summerhouse Pen too as do her kittens, she loves climbing on her scratching post and looking out of her window like an old fishwife :rofl:
The muckspots have really filled my heart with pride this last couple of days, they are really putting weight on now and looking like proper kittens, Sunflower went walk about on Sunday night, I hadnt shut the pen door properly so bless her she did it for me after she made good her own escape :rofl: Rob found her running round having the time of her life then hiding inside youngest sons trainer.Its not long ago that we made one big pen out of 2 smaller ones to accomodate them, think we need somewhere bigger again already.Olly keeps trying to pop in the kitchen to say hello but just as he gets his courage he turns and runs :rofl:
Annabel seems to have stopped her ballerina exercises for the time being, think she is enjoying motherhood too much.
All the other cats/kittens are happy and well hopefully we will soon find the homes they all deserve.
-
hiding inside youngest sons trainer
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Good to know life goes on as "normal" at the Inn :hug:
-
I want to come and live at the Inn :Luv2:
-
I want to come and live at the Inn :Luv2:
As previously mentioned the 4 ferals are prepared to share their room with any human brave enough :rofl: :rofl:
I think you need another visit with at least an overnight stay in order to appreciate the full pleasure of mucking out :rofl:
-
Oh noes - I log on, and it's cute kitten overload!!! :Crazy: :Crazy:
I have to cheat Sue - I come and look but don't log in so I can't see!
Had to look today though, they are all so beautiful and look so happy healthy and happy - all credit to you T
Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary of stopping smoking ;D
x
-
:evillaugh: Schmew.
Teresa - I was remiss and forgot to congratulate you on your being a year as a non-smoker. It's a huge achievement. I remember when my OH gave up and I was so proud. ;D Well done you.
Now, am I brave enough to spend a night with the four ferals.....? :sneaky: :shify:
-
Yet another busy day yesterday, fortunately we had a helper in the form of Debbie who adopted Bella, Pansy and Herbie a couple of years ago, she spent a full 7 hours playing with kittens and administering cat cuddles to all who wanted them and a few who thought they didnt, leaving me to so some much needed scrubbing and cupboard sorting.
All being well Christopher and James will be leaving us to begin a wonderful new live with Francis this afternoon, those boys so deserve a wonderful home and I wish them and Francis every happiness.
Chelsea is making good progress and actually allows herself to sit on a knee and be stroked now, she loves it in the summerhouse but is still a devil if she spots another cat, she is going to be very difficult to place.
Sophie too is happier in her new pen now and enjoys having the high turret to climb and get a break from her 7 kittens who seem to be learning what the litter tray is for at last, we are starting to lap solids too.
Yesterday was also a big day for me, since my illness began over a year ago Rob has done the mucking out each morning well apart from my dear Muckspots, yesterday I managed to do all the mucking out in the brick built Pens (5 Pens) as well as my muckspots so progress.Last Thursday after a great deal of thought I decided to use up a load of steroids I had accumulated, naughty I know but I had reached the wheelchair/oxygen stage again, I can truthfully say I am moving about easily and breathing better albeit temporarily,big difficulty is being unable to sleep have now been on the go since sunday morning but sometimes quality must come first.
Got someone coming Friday to choose one or two kittens to add to their family of Bailey and Preacher that they adopted from me about 3 years ago so fingers crossed for another happy home.
3am and the question is do I atttempt to sleep amidst the sound of the thunderous snoring or continue to sit her quietly awaiting the dawn chorus ?
-
I'd have plumped fr the dawn chorus, Teresa, but you do need to get some rest. It's great that you have some ease, but see if you can catch the proverbial "cat nap" or "Forty winks" for half an hour too :hug: :hug:
So pleased for Christopher and James. :) Well done Debbie for all of those cuddling duties :evillaugh: an exhausting job if ever there was one.
Chelsea's a very individual lady isn't she, bless her? Am sure someone will have a place for her that's just right, given time. :hug:
-
Lovely update Teresa, so pleased about James and Christopher leaving today, hope they have a fab life in their new home! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Sophie's kittens learning how to be cats-awwww! :rofl:
Fingers crossed for the possible rehoming on Friday! ;D
Hope you manage to get a bit of sleep later :Crazy: Haven't had much myself this week-my son's old infants/junior school was burned down on Monday night. He left there 20 years ago, but it was a wonderful school and i felt sick when i saw it :sick: Yesterday i found a dead cat which, thanks to the help of a young girl who picked it up and put in a black bag for me (have a phobia about dead animals) i managed to get to a vets to be scanned. Poor thing wasn't chipped....Not a good week for me so far :(
-
Aw Shirley. :( Sounds :hug: :hug:like you need hugs too.
-
Shirley look to the future, your memories will always be safe within your mind. :hug:
I may have been sat up through the night but I didnt even notice that Olly wasnt in his bed, Rob found him outside at 4.30 am cold but patiently waiting on Busters Bench for someone to rescue him, poor Olly he is an indoor only cat so his adventure must have been really scarey; he hasnt moved from his own warm bed since other than to eat breakfast.
Have couple of PM`s not replied to having a bit of trouble with slow message syndrome so unable to reply but messages received and read thanks.
-
Thanks Teresa, they will! :hug:
Awww poor Olly! Hope he's enjoying his home comforts again :Luv2:
-
Poor Olly. Bet he enjoyed his adventure a bit though! :evillaugh:
-
Glad that homing seems to be moving again and hope it continues. :hug:
-
I'm pleased to say that Christopher and James are now at home with me ;D ;D ;D. They are both a bit bewildered at the moment but have found their tray, food and water and the rest will come with time.
I'd like to say a huge thank you to Teresa for letting me have these beautiful cats. I’m in awe of the amount of work she and Rob put into the cats at Paws Inn and the love and care they invest is reflected in the happy and confident animals they rehome.
I’ll start a Christopher and James thread in Cat Chat once we’ve all had a chance to settle (and I’ve taken a few photos!).
:)
-
Awwwww that's so lovely to hear! :Luv: :Luv:
Cannot wait to hear more and of course....see piccies! :evillaugh:
-
Aw, that's lovely Frances. I'm so, so glad they've found a wonderful forever home :)
Sorry to hear you've had a bad week Shirley - Friday tomorrow so hope things start looking up for you over the weekend.
Hope poor little (or big!) Olly has recovered T. He's such a sweet gent isn't he?
-
:wooooo: :wooooo: for Christopher and James :wow: So pleased for you Frances, look forward to hearing (and seeing!) how they're settling in :)
Glad all feline residents are doing OK, doubly glad that Olly was found safe and well. It's probably just as well that you hadn't noticed he'd gone as you'd have been beside yourself :hug:
Glad the steroids are kicking in Teresa, shame about the after effects though :hug: Could you take Nytol or something like that with the meds you're on? :hug:
:hug: for Shirley too
-
Lovely news about Christopher and James :Luv2: -i expect it will take some time for them to get used to living in a home, won't it? Best of luck Frances and looking forward to their own thread in the future! :hug:
Thanks Sarah and Helen, i'm feeling better today thanks. My son's home this weekend and i'm having a night out on sat, so something to look forward to! ;D
-
So pleased that Christopher and James are in their new home, and look forward to hearing how they're getting on.
Teresa, topping up the cuddles for you too. :hug: :hug:
-
I`m absolutely delighted that Francis has adopted Christopher and James, both will always hold a special place in my heart, will look forward to regular updates.
We ended up taking Chelsea`s kitten Dodger to vet late yesterday afternoon for antibiotic jabs as he has developed very sore eyes, mum is a known carrier.He howled all the way there and acted like a true feral displaying claws in fine style, I was ashamed of him :rofl:
Annabels babies are little dumplings :Luv: 2 of them 1 black/white and the tortie have eyes open, the 2nd black/white is trying while little Norman Wisdom the youngest still has his firmly shut. I came up with 3 names for the girls and have forgotten them , they were all ballerinas :rofl: Giselle, ? ? guess I`m useless :rofl:
Still not sorted names for Sophies 7 who are starting to look like real kittens now and learning to climb on the scratching post, still doing stray poops but problem not as bad as it was.A couple of the tabbies are looking decidedly fluffy now.
Keeping an eye on Grace and Bonny who have turned their noses up at breakfast this morning, got a feeling it could be that they didnt like the turkey flavour :rofl:
All inmates happy and well.
People coming at 1 to look at Hannah and then people coming at 2 to look for 1 or 2 kittens so everything crossed.
-
Just taken a reserve on Captain Plugwash and Colonel Leaky and the people dont like their names :shocked: I cant think why, I think their names are so 8) along with Sergeant Ubend who will also be having a name change when he goes to his new home at the end of the month. People just dont share my good taste in names :rofl:
Got a vet appointment with Bonny at 5.30, she looks like she may be having a bit of a relapse so not taking any chances with her.
-
That's splendid news Teresa! :wow: (Although like you, I don't understand what's wrong with the names.....?) :evillaugh:
-
I didn't think the sink babes would have to wait long for homes - they're all gorgeous and I think their names are perfect. :Luv2: Did the lady turn up about Hannah?
Sending lots of healing vibes for Bonny and the muckspots and Dodger. I hope you have managed to get some rest T. :hug:
-
Great news about all the kitties :wow: not so great about Bonny :( Hope the vet visit goes well :hug:
-
Bonny been to vet and had couple of injections just incase, her weight is good now 3.3kg and vet not unduly worried but wants to see her again tomorrow if any further problems.
While Bonny waited in her carrier in kitchen an escape committee went into operation and we had a brief re union, filled me with tears, Bonny now back and very happy to be alone in her Pen enjoying peace and quiet.
-
and heres the rest
-
OH how lovely Teresa! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
OOH how gorgeous although she doesnt look impressed. I so wish I could adopt her
love
Tab
-
Aaaw (gulp) wonderful pics. :Luv2: I hadn't realised before what stunning markings Chucky Egg and Bonny have. Oh dear, am I becoming a fan of tabbies (on top of blacks, black and whites, and gingers. :innocent: Glad the vet doesn't think there is anything serious going on with Bonny.
-
You can almost hear her... 'I'm a celebrity, get me outta here' :evillaugh: You did a grand job on them Teresa :)
-
:Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Aw Teresa - they're fab piccies. Look at that little cheetah grabbing his Mum by her tail :rofl: NO wonder she was glad to be back in her own pen. :evillaugh: Hoping Bonny settles down and doesn't need any further vet visits.
-
Had a good chat to Bonny re her Muckspots and basically this was what she said
" Aunty T I trusted you with my 6 beautiful, innocent, clean tiny babies when I was so ill, you have been good and fed them and taught them to poop and piddle in a tray BUT BUT BUT they is big hoodlums now so you can keep them :rofl: :rofl:
-
Oh they are lovely pics aren't they? So glad to hear Bonny's on the mend - hope the vet's update today continues with the good news.
Have you many visits from prospective parents this weekend T?
x
-
Have you many visits from prospective parents this weekend T?
Only the one Sarah. So lets hope Hannah gets the home or if not Marmite and Minxy. Binny and Barty go on Thursday.
The good news is Bonny is as bright as ever and eating well so no worries after all.
Been out on hands and knees supplement feeding some of Sophies babies as they just arent all taking in enough nourishment, poor things got a dose of Panacur each this morning and were so relieved when they realised I had brought something nice for them. Of the 7 2 are black/white and 5 are tabby/white of those 5 tabbies 3 are going to be long haired, they are a very pretty litter but determined to keep pooping next to the litter tray rather than in it, one little girl watched me clean up this morning then stood and piddled in front of me :rofl: I shall win this battle yet :rofl:
Annabels babies have all opened their eyes now, though its fair to say Norman Wisdoms are only half way open, should have some helpers in form of Claire and Julie tomorrow so if so will set them to work with camera while I put my feet up and polish off the dollly mixtures :rofl:
Time to go feed the Muckspots yet again, theres something so wonderful about them yet so exhausting.
-
They sound exhausting but lovely T, make sure to rest yourself though!
-
Glad Bonny and the Muckspots are doing well. Fingers crossed for another homing tomorrow. Can we have a pic of Sophie? I don't think I've ever seen her. Maybe her offspring don't approve of your choice of litter or maybe they just like to keep you on your toes (or should that be knees :evillaugh: )
-
Glad Bonnie is doing well, lovely pics.
-
Got up to copius amounts of blood in greenhouse and no sign of Hettie or Monica so a worrying morning ensued. Claire spotted an injured Monica in the greenhouse just before midday and luckily we managed to capture her efficiently (for those who dont know Monica is pure feral and dangerous), straight to emergency vets expecting PTS as she looked and smelt terrible , thankfully vet thinks she will survive,she has beenRTA, fractured jaw and bad tooth which will be sorted and abscess, tomorrow xrays and treatment, he has kept her in and given pain relief and antibiotics today. Wilma is looking for her friend yet again, its only just 16 months since Monica fractured her pelvis in 5 places.
Anyway got some cheering pics of Muckspots walking over Claire anfd Julie and also some pics of Sophie and her gang of 7.

OMG so sorry to hear about Monica, hope she'll be ok :'( Thank God you were able to catch her to get her to the vets! She's a lovely looking girl and i saw her the first time i came to Paws Inn in June :Luv2: Not such a lucky black cat tho......poor baby :'( Lots of positive vibes for her :hug:
Brilliant photos of Sophie's beautiful babies :Luv2: :Luv2:

Sending positive vibes across the sea for Monica *hug*

A little good news Marmite and Minxy have gone to their new home together this afternoon.

A little good news Marmite and Minxy have gone to their new home together this afternoon.
:) :) :) :)
-
Teresa, am so sorry to hear about Monica - poor little soul - she's not had a good run of luck. May her fighting spirit see her through again. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Loving the pictures - which one is the little monster who was pulling his Ma's tail? He's a little smasher. I do think he's a little heartbreaker. :)
-
Poor Monica! Hope she's ok.
A little good news Marmite and Minxy have gone to their new home together this afternoon.
Also, they've been homed with one of my OH's co-workers so I can hopefully still update you with pictures once they are settled in. :evillaugh:
-
Sending huge get well vibes for Monica - and can you tell Claire I very much like her new hair-cut!!!! :hug: :hug:
-
Our ferals have all their paws crossed for Monica and her pal Wilma :hug:
The Photo's are of course wonderful and a total credit to the magic of Aunty T and Paws Inn :hug:
-
So sorry to hear about Monica. I hope tomorrow's xrays don't show any further problems and that she's soon on the mend. :hug:
Lovely photos again - Sophie does have a harrassed "unmarried mother of seven" expression on her face. ;D
:)
-
Oh no - that's awful news about Monica the poor little thing. I know she's a feral and not tame but you can tell so much that she loves her life at Paws - it's so nice to see the various ferals just chilling and doing their thing and pootling round the garden. Big :hug: and vibes for her xx
Fantastic news about Marmite and Minxy and a lovely to hear they've gone to an acquaintance of a Purrs member.
Lovely, lovely pics of Sophie and her brood too :Luv:
Hope you've managed to make time for a bit of relaxation this weekend T.
-
Fingers crossed that Monica will be OK :hug:
Couldn't get all the pics to load for me but it's obvious from the ones that did that you are over-run with cuties :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Lovely photos :Luv: :Luv:
:( So sorry to read about Monica I do hope she'll be ok :hug:

Morning Auntie T - just popping by to send snoozles for Monica, bless her. :cat rub: Know you'll be worrying too, so sending hugs for you :hug: :hug: :hug:

Fingers crossed for Monica today

Hope Monica will be OK :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Sending lots of positive vibes for Monica and :hug: for you T. Great news about Minxy and Marmite.

You have to live with a feral to understand the very special love and committment that goes with them; Monica has been with us for almost 10 years and been a proper little madam who only allowed me to touch her twice, once last year when she smashed her pelvis in 5 places and yesterday when I grabbed her for the vets.I think I knew yesterday that I would not see her again but the vet gave us a glimmer of hope. It was not to be our dear sweet fiesty madam has been PTS, Dave anaesthised her this morning to find out the extent of her injuries and bless her all I can say is her accident in some ways was fortunate, a massive tumour was discovered at the back of her mouth stretching into the throat, there was no choice. Poor Wilma is going to have to learn to live without her friend yet again. I am just so thankful that we were able to get hold of Monica and spare her further suffering.
A very special girl who despite rejecting us humans was loved always.
Pic is Wilma and Monica or Joined at hip as they have always been affectionately known.
-
Oh Teresa i'm so sorry to hear this, she was a lovely looking girl (have a pic from my visit in June) :Luv2: Thank goodness you were able to catch her-it doesn't bear thinking about how she would have suffered otherwise. :hug: :hug: for you and Rob
Sweet dreams little Monica xxxx
-
So sorry Teresa :hug:
RIP Monica, have fun at the Bridge sweetie - forever in your Mummies heart xxx
-
:'( :'( Teresa I'm so sorry and upset to read this, looking after ferals myself I have 2 especially regular visitors Frosty and Perdy and they are inseperable in fact all our ferals have one special friend. I do hope that Wilma will be ok :hug:
RIP Monica xx
-
Teresa - it's been said too many times this year, but once more - I'm truly sorry. :hug: Monica was - and is - a very special lady.
-
I am so sorry to hear this. From your posts I felt that Monica held a special place in your heart. I hope Wilma is coping too.
RIP Monica, loved always.
-
I'm so sorry Teresa :hug: At least this prevented her drawn out suffering with the tumour
RIP Monica
-
So sorry to read the sad news about Monica :hug:
:(
-
So sorry to hear the sad news about Monica :hug:
-
Sorry to hear about Monica but a least now she won't suffer anymore pain. Hope you are ok.
-
Poor little thing. It goes without saying that she had the best life a cat could wish for at Paws. Hope Wilma's ok. x
-
Forgot to say hope Wilma's ok .... :(
-
Night night and God Bless Monica, free from pain. As you say Teresa, the RTA was probably a blessing in disguise but that doesn't make the loss any easier for you and Wilma. :hug: :hug: x
-
RIP Monica, Sorry to hear your sad news Teresa.
Nicky x
-
So sorry to hear about Monica :hug: At least she was spared the inevitable suffering and was able to go peacefully :hug:
-
sorry to hear about Monica :hug:
-
I told Milly about Monica first and asked her to look out for Wilma and I swear both Hettie and Milly are watching over her, I went out to the greenhouse to tell Wilma how sorry I was that Monica couldnt come back this time and I swear the 3 cats clung onto my every word. Poor little Wilma after all the distress of last years separation and then the joy of a reconcilation, life seems so cruel.
For my part I am lucky that I have closure something that so often doesnt happen with a feral.
-
T so sorry for the loss of Monica, at least you have closure :hug:
Aunty T shared a wonderful bond with Wilma and her other ferals a relationship never easily won but worth the wait no matter how many backward steps each glance is a wonderful thing
So god speed Miss Monica a wonderful advert for a feral lady who will be sorely missed but always remembered as a Paws Inn lady
We are thinking of you all at the Inn - having lost our Cissy this year understand the dynamic loss they cause :hug:
-
RIP Monica. So sorry T. :hug:
-
so sorry to hear about Monica T - but glad too that you were able to ensure she went to the bridge with the minimum of suffering
-
So sorry Teresa.RIP Monica.xxx.
-
I'm so sorry, T. I remember the two of them locked together, where one was the other was sure to appear. The small consolation is that Monica is no longer bearing pain. Wilma will cope, she's a tough girl. And she has Hettie and Milly. Just a different type of companionship.
A hug for you too, I know you'll be putting on your brave face, but I know how much you'll be feeling this.
Xxx
-
I am really sorry to hear this, although it was a blessing in disguise with her tumour. I really hope Wilma will be able to cope, could you put some Rescue REmedy in her food or water? I hope your OK too. x
-
I've been thinking about Wilma and you T :hug: :hug:
I'm so hoping that Wilma will find another chum to latch on to. I know that when one our ferals Pebbles was sadly pts, a friend of next doors Tiggy he latched on to another feral and they are now the best buddies.
-
:thanks: All.
The wet weather means that Wilma, Hettie and Milly are in the greenhouse more so we are able to keep a better eye on Wilma who is so obviously grieving for her friend, those girls have been "joined at hip for" the last 10 years apart from the few weeks of confinement Monica endured after last years accident.
Finally got myself into gear with names this morning;
Annabel the ballerina has 1 boy Norman Wisdom, tortie girl is Darcey and black/white girls are Pavlova and Fontaine.
Sophie has 7, 4 boys and 3 girls which Claire suggested began with S , so
Black/white boy = Star
longhaired tabby/white= Skip
tabby/white sh =Sol
Longhaired tabby/white with beauty spot =Stig
Girls
Black/white= Sabrina
sh tabby/white=Serena
longhaired tabby/white = Selena
I`m bound to forget them all or put wrong names on wrong photos just to keep Si on his toes :rofl:
Bonny having another tummy do so have gathered poop sample for vets, was told take her back but she is happy and eating and its one consultation after another with nothing changing so today we will do things my way and see what a mess I make.
All else seem fit and well though little Sabrina was trying to vomit this am but after 3 days of wormer and a piece of woodbased cat litter in her mouth I would expect it. Now got 5 of 7 using litter trays, 2 still piddle and poop besides the trays currently 3 trays in pen.
:thanks:Janey, ferals are such a worry at least we have a colony here.
-
Just seen this, so sorry about Monica, RIP baby girl x
-
:thanks:Janey, ferals are such a worry at least we have a colony here.
Yes we have a colony too and that is a good thing. They are definitely as much worry as our own, well they are our own :hug:
-
Im sorry to hear about Monica but agree that its a blessing that you know what happened and she didnt just disappear which would be awful. I hope the other group up and help each other now.
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
love

Not sure if I am doing this right but here are some pictures of Bill, Ted and Twinkle and one of the cat that just turns up outside at meal times to be fed. Not sure what happened there only seem to have the picture of the cat outside lol.

Aw Julie - lovely!!! ;D (Well done - I still can't post piccies - am pootorially challenged :evillaugh:)
-
Julie lovely pictures. There are several people on here who will remember Bill and Ted as tiny mersey ferals.
Just flying in to say vet has phoned and they have found something in Muckspots poop, Campylobacter yippee, yes I am pleased because now they can have the proper treatment, this has gone on too long, good news No toxoplasmosis found in poop; have prepared a sample from Bonny this morning and taking that in later for testing but Andy going to start mum and kittens on treatment straight away, got to weigh them all now.
-
I am glad they have finally found out what is going on although I have no idea what that is. God luck with the weigh in.
Bill and Ted are definately not feral now they like there comfy bed too much, or should I say our beds too much as they have taken over both spare rooms and have a bed each.
Thought you might like to see how Twinkle's outside run is doing we are nearly there, or should I say Paul is nearly there.
-

-
......... vet has phoned and they have found something in Muckspots poop, Campylobacter ...
Ah that makes sense, I should have thought of it sooner. :doh: Bonny and kittens were found in a chicken factory weren't they and Campylobacter sp are common in raw chicken both on the skin and in the gut, so mum probably picked it up and passed it on to babies. Although less common than Campylobacter you can also find Salmonella and E. coli in raw chicken so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that they've got tummy troubles.
One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given is ' treat raw chicken as you would raw sewage.' :sick:
-
Forgot to add Welcome to Purrs Julie. :welcome: Lovely pics and that run for Twinkle looks great.
-
My ex had Campylobacter (sp?) years ago and said it was the most awful thing. Hope Bonny and Muckspots will soon start to feel much better soon! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Julie, i met Twinkle in June-can't believe how grown up she looks! :Luv2: :Luv2:
T, hope Wilma will be ok with Hettie and Milly looking out for her :Luv2: :Luv2: and you are too :hug: :hug:
-
Fab pics Julie - especially Ted - what a stunner he is. Really glad to hear that Twinkle is getting on well. We're hoping to make an out door run for ours (will be spring when we start probs) so might have to bend your ear a bit next time I see you at Paws.
Also glad to hear the Muckspots have been diagnosed with something which seems to be curable. I'm very impressed with Carol's detective work re the chicken factory.
Hope Wilma starts to bond with one of the other ferals soon.
x
-
Yes Ted is a stunner and knows it lol. You will have to bend Paul's ear I have been strickly there to supervise (well looking at it through the window, its cold out there). Not only has Twinkle settled in she has taken over and the boys have let her.
-
Glad you've finally got something to go on and that it can easily be treated :)
Julie - Bill, Ted & Twinkle are stunners - they'll only be enhanced by the gorgeous Sgt Ubend :drool;
-
I know I can't wait for him to join our happy gang, not long now.
-
Poor little ones, hope they are better soon now you know whats wrong.
I've had Campylobacter, it is the most vile thing. I was really poorly for a few weeks.
Nicky
-
Twinkle Pics!!!! Ande hasn't she grown up to be a gorgeous girl :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
So very sorry that you have lost Monica Teresa - be proud that for 10 years she knew love , shelter and kindness. :hug: :hug:
-
soooooooooooooooo you named 7 cats with names beginning with S and Simon didn't get chosen. Hmph.
-
So sorry Teresa :hug: :hug:
-
RIP Monica
I'm glad she had a wonderful 10 years with you Aunty T and you were able to make her end as comfortable as possible. I hope Wilma (and you) recover from losing her quickly and I'm sure the other furbabies will help with that.
I'm also glad that you had some good news today too *hugs*
-
soooooooooooooooo you named 7 cats with names beginning with S and Simon didn't get chosen. Hmph.
It was top of the list but had too many letters in it :rofl: another time :hug:
Muckspots are not impressed with their medicine, they are a little quiet this morning and I have been prewarned meds may cause diarhoea, they are not eating as muck as usual either.
I was amazed at their weights yesterday
Bonny 3.3kg
Chuckyegg 1.25kg
Kiev 1.05kg
Kentucky 1.10kg
Sunflower 1.05kg
Flora 900grams
Olive 800grams
I had hoped to have vaccinations done next week, this latest treatment means a delay and of course we cant home them just yet.
One of Sophies kittens left poop on floor again, at least its down to one now (unless of course the other pooper hasnt been yet :rofl:)
Have realised that Annabels babies are 2 weeks old now and no pics since birth, I really need to work harder.
Ground frost this morning made mucking out a very unpleasant task, lovely and fresh but very cold on the old knees esp the outside runs, roll on summer.
-
There are some fab names there T. Love them!
-
Another hectic day, Binny and Barty have gone to their new home, so as all too often happens 2 out and 6 in !
Little mum cat aged approx 6-7 months Lucy , she has 5 kittens age just 2weeks and no milk, been to vet and been given oxy injection in the hope it will stimulate milk production but it is doubtful, mum also low on calcium so looking like I will have to handrear this lot, bottlefed them earlier as they were starved but have currently left them with mum till about 8-9pm in the hope something will happen at the milkbar, currently mum is doing little but growl at them.
Named already 3 girls are Sunshine, Summer and Sunny, 2 boys are Sam and Simon
Hope you got that SI :rofl:
Pic also of Hettie in same bed as Wilma, well apart but same bed.
-
Good news about Binny and Barty but bad news that the space they left didn't stay empty for long...and another whole family!! I hope mum's milk comes through and you won't had the extra task of feeding.
Hopefully you've kept Si quiet now...hmmmmm how about one called Steff lol!!
-
Forgot to mention, had a laugh with Andy vet, he wormed Bonny woth a double dose of Milbemax which I told him off for, first results on faeces samples back today WORMS :rofl:
-
Oh T what are you like, so much for getting Bonny's, Chelsea's, Sophie's and Annabel's babies off your hands then having a rest. :hug: And they're all black. :Luv: Poor Lucy, she does look a skinny little thing. I have everything crossed that her milk comes through and she finds her maternal instinct so you don't have to hand rear another lot. :crossed:
-
Awww another cutie I want to cuddle
Now I would suggest Tabitha as a name but I keep meeting people who have cats called Tabitha :evillaugh:
love
Tab
-
Just went out to Pens to check on mum and kittens, and am still undecided on best course of action, mum was lay with 4 of kittens but 5th one was out of nest on pen floor, mum had known he was there but decided to ignore, have put kitten back with mum and will go and recheck kitty bellys later to see if they have had any food, at least mum is no longer growling at babies, going to be a long night. Good job I have this giant piece of homemade lemon sponge to hand. 5th grandson is due to be born tomorrow bet hes a couple of days late.
-
yay!!!!!!! Thank you very much! i love little Simon already!!!!
-
Its been a very long night with sneaky trips to Pens to check that Lucy was keeping her babies warm and fed, the decent wet food and cat milk combined with the oxy injection and kittens sucking like crazy seems to have done the trick and stimulated a milk bar production, kittens have food in their tummies though not quite as much as I`d like,trouble is if I supplement them mum will not be stimulated to produce more so will leave her to it and just keep up being very observant, dont worry I wont let them go hungry.
Bonny a bit disgruntaled with me not only did she get her medicine syringed down her throat I then stuck a milbemax down with my finger, she said to tell you all the service here is disgusting.
Muckspots what can I say, angelic, beautiful, all eating well and coping well on this campobacter medication and managed to put at least a dozen holes in my leg until puddles of blood ran down.
Cherrys kittens ran me ragged at mucking out time, they decided they didnt want to go back in the Pen and so it was a case of catch us if you can.
Sophies kittens are doing most piddle and poop in litter trays now but one likes to keep me on my knees with the odd suprise poop, they are a nightmare to clean out,climbing underneath me, ontop of me and generally trouble they remind me very much of the Kent city rollers litter.
Worked really hard this morning, all cats clean,fed and comfortable,all emails (replied to after a fashion :evillaugh:)
guess I deserve a nice soak followed by home baked bread.

I think you most certainly do!
Hope mum Lucy continues to bond with babies today.

Lovely (and funny!) update, T! :rofl: Lucy and her babies are SO beautiful :Luv2: Remind me of a foster cat Heather (Mikey) had last year-she was about the same age, black, with 3 black kittens and i've never forgotten her :Luv2: :Luv2:
How on earth do you find time to bake bread???? :Crazy: Enjoy your soak! And yes, roll on Summer!!! ;D

Shirley for the first time in months I am managing without oxygen, I`ve ditched the wheelchair so I now make bread, scones and cakes and enjoy doing it, I even made apple crumble with apples Francis brought me. Will confess to being a cheat I bought a bread maker for my bread :rofl:
-
Yum yum, wish i lived closer :rofl: Glad you're keeping well! :hug: :hug:
-
I have a bread maker, they are so good!
Hope you get some time to yourself to enjoy some fresh baked bread (mmmm....with lots of butter on)
Jen

Funny enough Jen I am tucking into a piece as I type and inspecting the teeth marks in the thick butter
-
Since when was using a breadmaker cheating? :innocent: I'll also fess up to using frozen flaky pastry. ;D
Glad to see all the cats and kits are doing well and that the S Club Seven now have names! Fingers crossed that now Lucy can relax and feel safe she'll be able to feed her kittens herself.
James and Christopher have settled in well though photographing them for their Own Thread has been problematic. Lots of "black cat in coal cellar" pictures or close-ups of backs of heads and bottoms as they won't sit still and pose!
:)
-
So glad to hear Lucy is feeding babies - I hope she can produce enough to keep their little tummies full. The muckspots drawing blood - surely not. ;D I think Cherry's kittens must know they're going to their forever homes soon and are getting in some practice at slave training. :rofl:
-
Hope it's full tummies all round at the Inn then T :evillaugh:
Sounds like they're keeping you busy, hope Lucy's milk bar continues, and that the rehoming carries on!

-
I`d quite like to hug and kiss my vet for being soclever and wonderful but he would probably run away :rofl: Lucy is holding her own and mothering her kittens who are all feeding from her, 2 are tiny and a little supplement might help but I need to create a good demand first in order to encourage a good supply, so am leaving kittens to cope entirely on her again tonight, the little mum is actually happy with her kittens now, in truth the noise from them was enough to put anyone off yesterday.
Had word that Binny and Barty are settling well in their new home, also had email saying Lily ( Daisymacs Kennys mum) is totally incharge of her humans.
Today has been good.
-
Mucking out has left me aching in places I never knew I had, its always harder when the weathers damp and this morning the rain has been torrential so you get a soaking going from Pen to Pen.
Little Lucy has fed her babies well overnight and all currently have food in their tummys, though she is behaving a little strangely this morning so still being very observant.Poor litttle mum and kittens so thin and Annabel with her 4 kittens who are same age is overweight as are her kittens.Will try and get decent pics this weekend.
Sophies kittens are determined that I should clean at least 1 poop up from floor every morning and its always tucked neatly behind the Pen door so I struggle to get it :rofl: still I am pleased with their progress and all are lapping well now.
Chelsea and her 3 are huge now, Chelsea has gone from wild to quite lovable but her boy Dodger has a behavioural problem, he can be like a wild screaming banshee when he wants :rofl:
Sergeant Ubend is off to his new home with Julie today, and then Plugwash and Leaky go next week and Cherry will be spayed.
Bonny has done a solid poop this morning hopefully all this medication and the extra wormer I shoved down her are working.
Melody, Grace, Bumty and Hannah are all fine as are the 6 Muckspots and all the rest.Still praying for wonderful home to come up for Hannah before Monday or she will be left on her own.
Just wondering what job to do next, even wrapped Christmas present this morning :rofl:Perhaps I should go make bread :rofl:
-
Aw, I feel so guilty on Hannah now T! Steff is adamant that we're only to have one more and he won't budge! I feel really sad for the poor little girl now. Have you any viewers coming this weekend? x
-
Aw, I feel so guilty on Hannah now T! Steff is adamant that we're only to have one more and he won't budge! I feel really sad for the poor little girl now. Have you any viewers coming this weekend? x
She will be fine stop worrying. She has too much white on her for your house :rofl: :rofl:
-
Thanks for putting my mind at rest T - I really was starting to feel truely awful about splitting her from Bumty.
If anyone's wondering what these last couple of messages are all about then let me draw your attention to a quote from T from early Sept:
He is sitting here waiting for his name change Scrbumty or Scrcallmewhateveridontcare a second boy would certainly even things out :rofl:
...let's just say T has worked her magic yet again although it took a few weeks longer than it should :rofl: :rofl:
I am delighted to say that Bumty will be joining myself and Paws babies Scamp (Chico) and Scrumpberry (Blackberry) as well as other little blackie Scratchy on Monday afternoon. New name, to fit in with the other 'Sc' puds, will be Scotch.
Current boy say's he CAN'T WAIT to have a little brother as his sisters keep trying to drape ribbons on him :rofl:
Obviously I can't wait to have him too, same for OH who's looking forward to having an equal amount of boys in the house as girls. :rofl:
-
Li lScruff I have an appointment for a viewing this afternoon, you best cross all fingers and toeseys :rofl:
Some action shots of Muckspots taken yesterday
-
Lil Scruff you are sooooo lucky being able to have ANOTHER one of Aunty T's babies...that is not fair...especially cos I loved Bumty ;)
-
ANOTHER Paws Inn cat Lil_Scruff? You're becoming very greedy :evillaugh: Congratulations!
Muckspots are :Luv: as always!
-
Lovely pics, as always T :Luv2: :Luv2: Hope you get a rehoming from this afternoon's viewing! How can you not with all the gorgeous furries! ;D
-
lovely pics and not a spot of Muck anywhere - or not anywhere the camera was pointing, anyway :sneaky:
now you've mastered bread-making, T, have you considered churning your own butter?
I assume, of course, you are already in possession of dozens of pots of homemade marmalade and jam :)
-
Bless them!!!
-
Bless them!!!
I am suprised that you have not in your Tannikins leadship position demanded that baby Simon is put up for inspection :rofl:
Trigger used to make all my own jams, marmalade and lemon curd but having hot pans on cooker with Muckspots around isnt a good idea, as for the butter 50 years ago I had little butter pats and used them wisely as table tennis bats :rofl: :rofl:
-
OMG the muckspots have grown loads!!!! I hardly recognised them!!!
How old are they now T? The ones I am attempting to trap are quite a bit smaller than that and I am trying to put a rough age on them...
They are probably the size of Sophies kittens in the pic you posted on the 17th of October...how old were those guys then?
-
Glad all is well at The Inn. Fingers crossed that Lucy is still feeding her babies. Lovely pics as always and such a pity that the gorgeous Ollie hasn't got his sea-legs. :Luv2:
Hope the viewing went well this afternoon and another kitty (or two) has found its forever home.
-
Steff those kittens were 5-6 weeks old in picture but small for their age. Yes Muckspots have suddenly sprouted and become clean little kittens that I am so proud of.They are just 9 weeks now Steff.
Carol you will be delighted to hear that Lucy is being a wonderful mum now she has a replenished milk bar and all her kittens are now content with full tummys.You never know she might have those special legs you speak of :rofl:
Viewing went well , the people were lovely but for once I cannot decide who they were smitten with the most, they really came to view Hannah but I have a sneaking feeling they have fallen for Bonny or even 2 of my Muckspots, time will tell,in truth as long as they have fallen for something it doesnt matter.
-
Thanks T, the kittens I am trying to rescue are pretty young then going by the size of your babies. I hope CP come back to me soon about borrowing a trap (see my thread to find out what I am going on about lol)
I hope these new potetntial parents make up there mind soon...maybe they will take Hannah, Bonny and two muckspots (if they are brave or mad) :Crazy:
-
:rofl: Steff just posted on your thread.
Rehoming is like trapping lots of patience needed :hug:
-
Got it, thanks T :hug:
-
Today has been a day of reaching the summit of the highest mountain, not the cats but the poor excuse of a human who cares for them :rofl: Its been close on 2 years since I was last well enough to drive a car and rescue has been very difficult as a result. This morning I got behind the wheel of my car and have driven about a quarter of a mile, I feel as if I have achieved so much and most importantly I finally feel as if I am recovering, for those who dont know I ditched the wheelchair almost 3 weeks ago and the oxygen was abandoned last week.
Cats all doing fine and wondering why their human has such a huge grin on her face.
Today the world seems so good.

Well done missus, so very proud of you!!!!!! Think you're allowed to have a huge grin on your face :hug: ;D

:wow: ;D ;D ;D :yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Well done T.
-
Well done, add about 299.5 miles on to that and you can come and see me :hug:
-
And me , and me!! Well done you , about time that loveLy car of yours got an outing! :wow:
-
Well was really happy earlier, and delighted with progress of the cats, I have vet coming tomorrow to vaccinate 17 so will be busy; just had a PM from someone on this forum and it makes me want to walk away.
Incidentally if anyone wants to see my food,litter and vet bills you are most welcome.
-
T, I'm pretty sure that the people for you and paws inn is much greater than those against.
Please don't lose your fighting spirit. Today is a positive day for you personally and you can also look back on all that you have achieved at the Inn.
Seriously T, don't worry about what others say and keep doing your thing :D
-
T just hold your head high, please dont let this get you down. :hug: :hug:
-
Couldn't agree more. If the person who sent the OM can look in the mirror and honestly say they have saved and helped as many cats as you have I will be very surprised.
-
awwww T x
People get a bit emotional about things and on all forums there are often arguements and disagreements>Private messages are often the undoing of most forums.
Perhaps have a word with Tan and/or one of the mods or you and the pm'er agree to disagree and try and clear the air>
-
Glad to hear your drive went well. That's such a brilliant milestone!
Hope your day got better later. Try to rise about it hun.
Tachi, Vader and Akamaru all send their purrs. :Luv:
-
So pleased to read your ealier post T, how wonderful!!! :hug: :hug: You haven't got as far to come to see me as Daisymac,lol! ;)
Can't believe why anyone would want to PM you, of all people, with a message that has obviously upset you so much :shocked: >:( :'( Easy to say ,i know, but just ignore it! You and Paws Inn have got so many people who think the world of you and what you do for your beloved cats-whoever it was isn't fit to lick your shoes!! :hug: :hug:
-
:car: :car: :car: ;D
The boys wouldn't normally post in here as they're not officially Paws Inn cats but I gave them special permission...
Took this a few nights ago and I just know it's what they were thinking :hug: Hope this brings a mini-smile to your face :hug:
-
That is the cutest picture ever Helen. :Luv2:
-
No idea what's been said to you Teresa, but it's clear that your rescue work is outstanding from every update read on this site and every post made by any visitors to Paws Inn.
-
Hey Teresa - not got much pooter access at the moment as home pooter is buttered. :censored: But, I just wanted to say that if Paddy was as good as Lukey and Riley "wiv pickchas" he'd have added his smiley face and all of his love to try and buoy your spirits again. What an increduble achievement - am so pleased that at long last you managed to get to drive that car of yours!! :wow: :hug: :hug: You keep on going, treasure and don't let anything (or anyone!) get in your way. :hug: :hug: :cat rub:
-
i am glad you have acheived so much personally, and ignore the PM, everyone knows just how dedicated you are
-
I agree with what everyone else has said T please don't let one person upset you, they are only one person after all. Those of us who watch in absolute awe at all you do for the cats and kittens in your care will always support you and love you. Those of us in rescue also know what the financial costs are and these are especially difficult for independent rescues like you. There are huge numbers of kittens and cats leading happy lives now because of you.
And well done on the driving too - onwards and upwards :hug:
-
Sorry didn't get round to posting yesterday T - as you can probably imagine I was run off my feet with a certain little puff-ball :rofl:
As some of you know, I am now the VERY proud owner of Bumty who's now called 'Scotch' (although Bumty is obviously his middlename). He is totally adorable and has settled in very, very well. On the drive home from T's he just put his head on his paws and went to sleep (mind you, his paws do resemble pillows lol). He is such a chilled-out cuddlebum bless him. Initial sniffs of other cat's belongings are going well too so watch this space for some pics :)
T - as others have said we all appreciate your posts so much so please carry on posting on here. I never learnt Latin at school but when someone get's me down my mum always says to me 'Illegitimi non carborundum' which, I've been reliably informed, translates roughly to 'don't let the bastards grind you down'.
Hope it went well with the vets visit. Did they manage the full 17 vaccinations? Want to say again how well all of the inn-mates are looking - especially the little muck-spots.
I really hope this post actually works as I typed a big long one out on Sunday and got lost somewhere in cyberspace. Argh!!
x
PS T - hope your trip to Manchester went well :)
-
Well done for your drive. Mega acheivement for you, were you scared? Think I would be after all that time.:)
So sorry someone has upset you, you do such a grand job and no-one has a right to criticise you for anything you do, your furries are lovely and look so well cared for.
Hope things get better for you.
Nicky
-
glad you are doing so well personally T as for the other things, let them wash over you
-
A huge well done T for reaching that summit :hug:
Dont let one narrow minded person upset you , it really isnt worth it Hun and the huge majority of us on Purrs know how much you do and how much you care, with everything you have has to endure over the last year most people would have given up on the rescue but in true Teresa style you have battled on and as I have said to you before - you are a true inspiration and we all Love you to bits xxx
-
Im glad you managed to get out and drive such a huge thing for you well done :hug:
No comments on the PM I dont know what was said or by who so Im not getting involved apart from to say youre doing a fab job and I couldnt do it so be proud of all those cats youve helped.
Lil scruff are you adopting all the paws cats :evillaugh: Cant wait to see pics of hes settling in
love
Tab
-
Morning Aunty T. Paddy sends his love. In fact, he was practising his singing earlier this morning - thought he was going to take off it was so loud. :evillaugh: He said he was "kroonin fer yoo" :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa , don't you dare leave this place over a PM form one viciuos individual................... I know where you liev remember..................... :evillaugh: ;)
-
Tab - I have been mighty greedy with Paws babies this year haven't I? :evillaugh: Fours enough now - two girls and two boys (only one of these a Paws baby mind). So I think I'll be leaving it at four lol.
On the subject of greedy here's what's going on in my kitchen right now....
(edit - from left to right: Scamp/Chico, Scotch/Bumty, Scratchy, Scrumpberry/Blackberry. Introductions went very well as you can see! New boy Scotch hated having to eat away from the others so we moved his food bowls closer to the existing brood over the day. The picture is today's mid-morning snack of RC kibbles).
-
Here's another quick 'shot of Scotch' :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: some silly person left a loo roll hanging about...
-
That pic is BRILLIANT!!!!
Excellent timing with the camera there! :rofl:
-
Now that I recognise! :rofl:
-
Very similar to the carnage left by Darwin after I left the kitchen roll on the floor last night....he looked massively guilty when I found him and ran off. :evillaugh: Smart little creatures; he knew he wasn't meant to do it, but it was too much temptation.....
Love the picture of all four black cats chowing down. :)
-
Big improvement in quality of pics on this thread recently :rofl: gorgeous pic of Lu and Riley and what can I say about those beautiful blacks, I am amazed that Scotch is in the middle after less than 2 days. Funny James carefully torn off a mere 3 squares of kitchen roll to play with.
Well I have been rushed off my feet last 2 days, vet came yesterday and 17 cats/kittens were vaccinated ) I would have been lost without Julie coming to help with all the lifting and fetching.
Sophie and her 7 kittens have been giving cause for concern with lack of appetite which we found out was cat flu, fortunately it has been picked up quickly and they have all been to vets this morning and had convenia and vitamin injections.
Tomorrow Hannah goes in for spay, shes only about 20 weeks but big enough,Colonel Leaky and Captain Plugwash are off to their new home in the morning and on Friday Cherry and Chelsea are in for their spay so all in all a hectic week and I`ve not had a minute to attempt driving since.
Lucy has been a bit fussy with her food this morning but she has been eating 4 sachets, 2 dishes R.C. dry and a full carton of kitten milk daily so I guess she`s finally feeling full.
Among the 17 vaccinated yesterday were Bonny and her 6 muckspots, what a great feeling that they have finally been done and are all now ready for rehoming.
I have just over an hour spare till next round of feeding and poop cleaning and am trying to decide whether or not to do some baking or have a catnap as been awake all night but the thought of homemade lemon cake is making me hungry. Grandson No 5 still not made his entrance, he was due last Friday.
-
I would like to point out the pm Teresa received was not vicious at all! I know that for a fact as it was my reply to one I got from Teresa. I am more than happy for it to be put on here .
Teresa made some allegations which I ask only if she had proof (these were not to do with me or any of my postings)
As yet I have had no reply!
I will not be made out to be sending vindictive pms!!
I am happy for anyone to see them.
I find this threat to leave laughable as it gets threatened so often and we know it won't happen but I have done nothing wrong!

Bunglycat I will not have Paws Inn spoilt by you.Please act within forum guidlines Paws Inn is a good rescue open to inspection by you or anyone.
-
:back topic:
:hug: :hug: for Sophie and kittens. Hope they are back on form soon. Glad all the others are doing well and three cheers to you for getting Bonny and ALL the muckspots fit enough for homing. What an achievement - they're sure to steel someone's heart, lets hope its sooner rather than later. :) And Cherry will soon be kittenless and speyed eh? :Luv2:
Have cat npa AND a piece of lemon cake T
-
A cat npa is just another way of saying cat nap in case you're wondering. :rofl:
-
This is what I mean!
I am not saying anything about your rescue.
I am actually baffled on why you continue to have a go at me personally!
This all goes back to you not agreeing with what I posted before.
If anyone is getting bullied it's me.
Can understand why lots of people have left Purrs now!
One genuine query is all I made.
Please post the pms I sent to you on here and I will do the same, let people judge for thselves!
-
mmmmmmmm lemon cake - can I go off topic and ask for the recipe? :wow:
-
Hi Bungly & T
Thanks for previously discussing any things that have upset you both by pm and not bringing it on the forum, however it is starting to appear on public view which do cause upset to others. If you have any or anyone has any pm's that they do not like, peas could you forward them to me and i will try and help. :thanks:
If there is anything anyone has been or is upset with, peas get in touch with me. :thanks:
-
Four GORGEOUS black beauties, Lil_Scruff-how do you tell them apart? :rofl: Lovely photos! :Luv2:
Teresa what an fantastic job you've done with Bonny and her babies, incredibly hard work for you, but you did it! :hug: :hug: Great news about all the others too, i don't know how you find the time to sleep and bake! :rofl: You are an amazing lady! :hug: :hug:

Hi
Sargent Ubend is home and getting on well with Ted and Bill, Twinkle was growling at him but she is just jumping on him now, which if you have ever seen Twinkle jump is funny, she usually jumps high in the air and by the time she comes down the other cat has already moved on, she does it with them all so looks like she is excepting him. He was at the vets today as he hasn't eaten wet food since he arrived but she says he is fine and gave him a vitamin shot, which he didn't like one bit. I have put on a few pictures of him settling in will try and get some of him and the others together but don't hold your breath, everytime I get the camera out one of them takes off.
Hope everything goes to plan with the speys Teresa and fingers crossed you get your grandchild soon. See you on Saturday.
Julie
-
Aw Julie - he's gorgeous!!!! He looks so adorable. Poor Twinkle, bless her ;) :evillaugh:
-
Phwoar Julie - what a stunner he is. A gorgeous little puff-ball aint he! So glad to hear he's settling in ok and that his eating habits are nothing to worry about. Twinkle is such a little bag of tricks bless her.
My two female cats were a little hissy at first with Scotch but it's only to be expected. It occurred to me that they might have felt extra threatened at first as sue to him being longhaired his tail is always puffed out which the existing cats could have taken as a sign of aggression. The hissing has pretty much stopped now and the girls are happily lounginng round right next to Scotch and rolling round showing him their bellies which I think is a good sign.
Shirley - telling them apart is easy peasy - especially the two sisters - Scamp's whiskers come out at a 90% angle from her snout and Scrumpberry's approx 93% :rofl: :rofl: who needs Specsavers with obvious differences like that aye?!?!?
-
what a babe!!
-
I am loving seeing so many ex Paws Inn cats looking so wonderfully happy in their new homes. Keep the pics coming ladies.
-
Perhaps it's just as well I didn't apply to adopt littleSgt U-bend - I wouldn't have been able to leave the house, he's just toooooo cute :Luv2: Has he got a new name yet?
Also, do you mind me asking what the black patterened thing in the background of the third pic is? It's really pretty! :)
-
Not a new pic as I cant find my camera lead, but a cute pic of my two Paws Inn boys
-
Kenny is huge and Ripley wow
Just thinking of other ex paws Inn ones, Christopher, James, Tachi , Vader, Akarmaru and a good few others.
-
Helen
No I haven't found the right name yet still working on it.
The patterned cover in the picture is a quilt cover, before I fell in love with Twinkle I bought a new leather suite so we had to cover it up once she arrived (well after she had put a couple of scratches on it), so we bought a few quilts and the covers are from B&M's they are black with the coloured pattern at the top it is very pretty.
Julie
-
Sgt U Bend looks like an Archibald Fluffbucket to me. Archibald was traditionally used for brave bold people.
-
:wow: :wow: oooo look - we gotta Ripley fix! ;D Cheers Claire! :hug: Aw, they both look so snuggley there. :Luv:
Tis a very pretty quilt cover Julie. :) The velcro cat was a particularly original innovation. ;) :evillaugh:
-
Another busy day, Chelseas kittens are still suffering after effects of vaccination. Hannah has been spayed and is fine. Lucy decided to throw up all over her Pen so keeping very close eye on her incase she needs the vet. 4 of Sophies kittens are being syringe fed by me which is very difficult to do in summerhouse but I dont want to take them away from mumcat. Captain Plugwash and Colonel Leaky have gone to their new home this morning and the icing on the cake Rob accidentally let Olly out this morning and he (Olly) decided that outside is a wonderful place to be, (hes obviously forgotten about his days as a stray when he was hit on the road) so I wasted a heck of a lot of time trying to catch him, after about 3 hours youngest son caught him and he decided to lacerate youngest son because the dog was around and he didnt want carrying in.So all in all another lazy day with nothing to do.
-
Poor Olly and poor son too! You were telling me on Monday how Olly seems to be yearning for a bit of outdoors again.
Hope Lucy and Sophie's four make a swift recovery.
DaisyMac - smashing pic there. I think we all knew it was inevitable that Ripley and Kenny would be firm friends :)
The four blacks send you :hug: T.
x
-
Sorry to hear all is not well at the Inn - hope Sophie's and Chelsea's babies improve soon and Lucy has just been over-eating or something straightforward like that. Good luck for the speys tomorrow.
Poor Ollie - I think he has a yen to travel ;) or maybe the competition from having the muckspots in the house is getting to him. I hope he settles down soon and starts behaving himself again. :hug:
-
Just thinking of other ex paws Inn ones, Christopher, James, Tachi , Vader, Akarmaru and a good few others.
Well since you asked... sort of.

Time for Akamaru's close up.
Right, that's your lot until I take some more. :Luv:
-
Aaaawwww!!! :wow: Look at them!! :evillaugh: Clearly "Large and in Charge" :rofl: :rofl: Contented cats, all, and a wonderful sight to see - especially Akamaru having his cuddle quota. :Luv:
Hope all is well this morning Teresa. :hug:
-
Fab piccies and they are all sooooo gorgeous. Nice to see they have taken over all the comfy spots in the house as they should :rofl:
Hope things are better at the Inn today T and that all poorly babes are improving :hug:
-
Gorgeous pics of gorgeous cats and look how wonderful Akarmarus eye is, so strange how Paws Inn cats all become such beauties, was thinking I left Baggins off the list hes another stunner as are Purdy and Sam and so many others.
Cherry and Chelsea are in for spay today and Chelseas 3 kittens have all been to vets with high temperature 104 plus, looks like bad reaction to Tuesdays vaccinations.
Sophies kittens are responding well to treatment but am still syringe feeding the 3 smallest until they get some meat on them.
Finally got the camera out to get long awaited pic of Annabels kittens and of course little Norman Wisdom proudly posed knowing Helen would be drooling over his picture.
Couldnt resist posting pics of Lucy proudly showing off her milk bar, I know Si is dying to know which of the kittens is Simon thats easy its the troublemaker :rofl:
The muckspots are creating chaos, yesterday they were the lucky recipients of some wonderful toys from the Purrs shop ( a present from 2 lovely forum people) well my sweet innocent babies loved the toys so much they began growling and trashing their Pen and generally behaving like a load of drunkards, needless to say we recommend toys from the Purrs shop.
Vet just phoned and given permission for the digital photoframe to go in, so big thanks to Angie for sharing the idea.
-
Chelsea and Cherry home and ok after their spay.
And the good news
I have a new little man in my life, he was born at 5.30 this afternoon.
-
:1st place: on the new bambino T. He was going to be called James wasn't he? Hope mum, babs, dad, nan and grandad are all doing well :)
Glad to hear the two C's are ok after the spay.
Fab pictures - love love love the black milk bar. Lucy's such a wonderful girl isn't she?
Scotch has firmly got his paws under the table here and has integrated himself so quickly and sends his Aunty T a HUGE :thankyou: for his rescue, love and care :)
-
Great news T!! I'm sure you've got nearly as many grandsons as innmates lol!!
Hopefully I will be having my first taste of rescue tomorrow (cats cooperation permitting)...may even name my shed "Little Paws Inn" in honour of you T because truly you have been my inspiration since the old Cat Chat forum days. I hope you don't mind :D
-
congrats on the new grandson T!
-
Super news Teresa :wow:
Love the piccies. Norman is indeed posing, and I have to say the photo of Lucy is adorable. She's very elegant, even when feeding her babies. A sort of "Audrey Hepburn" of the cat world. :)
-
Congratulations on the new Grandson T and glad the spays went well.
-
She's very elegant, even when feeding her babies. A sort of "Audrey Hepburn" of the cat world. :)
Yes "The nuns story springs to mind" Milk she has almost NUN again :rofl: Been checking babies tums and mums milk very regularly, this morning tummies were full, at teatime I discovered a kitten out of the bed chewing a food bowl, I made kitten soup and put the kittens to it, unbelievably all 5 began lapping like hungry wolves.They are only just 3 weeks!
Steff I consider that a great honour and wish you every success; do not be disappointed if you dont catch all of them tomorrow, these things take time, also cats are creatures of habit if you have been feeding at night thats the time they will turn up. Best of luck. By the way I have 5 grandsons now a long way to go to equal the cats.
Sarah glad Scotch has settled so well. Grandson is Timothy James, son and D.i.l great fans of pop group James.
-
Congratulations on your new grandson.
-
Congratulations on your new Grandson!
Lovely photos :)
-
Congratulations on Timothy James, give my love to Lisa xxxx
-
Congratulations - your son and DIL share my taste in music. :evillaugh:
-
Awwwww, many congrats T :hug: :Luv: :Luv2: ;D
-
Ahhhh, that's a lovely name. I remember now that Lisa was saying he'll be 'TJ' for short.
I have one quick Q though... "kitten soup"....? :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
-
strange how Paws Inn cats all become such beauties
I think you mean fatties in the case of my 3! :rofl:
Congratulations on your latest addition. That's wonderful news. Love the name.
-
I have one quick Q though... "kitten soup"....? :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
Well Sarah kitten soup involves a huge amount of work but as you know no effort is spared here at the Inn.
Firstly we take 1 brown hen(stolen from next door,plucked and O dear)
Gently poach in Royal Canin vital milk until tender,then put in blender with oodles of cream a little pumkin,and rice.
Serve in china dish with silk napkins. This is our speciality kitten soup for kittens rescued from Harrods.
Our normal kitten soup for average rescues is made by using Whiskas kitten supermeat, add some Royal Canin milk powder and hot boiled water to mush up to a sickly kitten soup which kittens love to bathe in :rofl:
Sophies kittens much improved again today, Chelseas grey kitten Dinky is very poorly still and is not out of the woods yet.
New grandson doing well, he weighed 8lb 8ozs, poor Lisa being kept in hospital for blood transfusions as baby came out too quickly ,turned and caused massive blood loss. The good news is that he looks nothing like me.
-
Congratulations on the new arrival!
-
Phwoar :drool; to all Paws Inn cats, past and present - icing on the cake is little Norman :Luv2:
:1st place: on grandson no 5 Teresa :)
-
Oh my goodness - poor Lisa! That sounds like an awful ordeal that she's been through. The whole idea of childbirth terrifies me totally - I think I'll stick to my little black feline babies instead!
I was starting to believe that you had rustled a hen from next door for a moment there T :rofl: I bet the 'standard' kitten soup is just as delish for them though. But, yes, I can imagine the mess it makes :tired:
Sending vibes to little Dinky :hug:.
-
Sophie and her kittens finally all eating for England and doing well; Chelseas kitten Dinky still being syringe fed but she is going to food bowl now and looks much brighter this morning.
Lucy appears to be having another bad baby day, have given them all kitten soup but one kept crying so into the litter tray I put her, tickled her fancy until she piddled and stupidly thought job done, into a nice clean bed with mum washing the kitten soup off babies while I was busy cleaning out Bonny and suddenly there was a loud growl a real dont mess with me growl, poor little kitten had done her first poop in the bed and made a right mess, of course now they are eating solids mum will no longer toilet them and mum was angry at said dirty bed. Flash forward all kittens cleaned off with baby wipes, clean bedding and Pen scrubbed yet again and where is Lucy? sat outside the bed not wanting anything to do with said kittens, also no milk there again, she is one very strange little mum.
Could have done without extra washing this morning as new washing machine going to be plumbed in later and need to get old one out, now old one is busy washing yet more vet bedding :rofl: I bet Pedro would have had much to say about the replacement :)
-
Hope the plumbing in goes well, Teresa. Cuddles to all at the Inn this morning. :grouphug:
-
We have had to rush to vets this morning with Lucy and Annabel and their 9 kittens. Lucy has a calcium problem yet again despite which can be rectified with suspension vet has prescribed.
Annabel on the other hand is very seriously ill with a temperature of 107.5, vets have kept her in, we are worried sick about our ballerina and have no idea what ails her but its most likely some form of virus.Her kittens are here with me for handrearing, they appear to be fine thus far.
-
Sorry to hear this T, am keeping everything crossed that Annabel pulls through, you must be so worried. Sending vibes for the kittens too and hope that Lucy's problem sorts itself out with the medication. Sending lots of :hug: :hug: to you all.
-
Not good news. So sorry Teresa, and keeping all fingers crossed for Annabel and for Lucy. Special shnoozles to the kittens too :hug:
-
Oh no, so terribly sorry to hear this T-you've certainly had a roller coaster of emotions up there the last few months :( Have everything crossed for Annabel and Lucy :Luv2: :Luv2: and lots of these for you :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Sad news, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for them all :hug: :hug:
-
Sorry to hear the news. I have everything crossed for Annabel and her kittens. Hope the medicine does the trick for Lucy and she is soon back to full strength and looking after her kittens again. :hug: :hug: :hug: for you Teresa at this worrying time.
-
Thinking of all at Paws Inn, human and feline alike :hug:
-
Vibes coming from here as well for Lucy and Annabel :hug:
-
Blimey T, mad busy as usual for you. Fingers crossed everything is ok with Lucy and Annabel and babies :hug:
Congratulations on your grandson

-
The latest from vet is that the metacam has brought Annabels temp down to 101.6, she is very poorly and will be staying at vets.
Norman Wisdom did a giant wee in the tray and Darcy obliged with a huge poop, they are all going to be swines to feed and I refuse to get a bottle out. I went and bought a mini food chopper and cooked chicken in desperation, they didnt like that either.
As for Lucy she doesnt like the calcium supplement I was lucky to get away with my fingers, her kittens have at least kept the poop off their faces so far today.
The muckspots think all this chicken is wonderful and are having the time of their lives practising their new found talent Growling :rofl:
Me not sure if I want to laugh, cry or runaway but its immaterial really as there is no choice but carry on.
-
Me not sure if I want to laugh, cry or runaway but its immaterial really as there is no choice but carry on.
I know that feeling well :'(
-
Am so glad you've managed to retain all of your fingers, Teresa and sending much love for Annabel.
Paddy says that "Lucy gots ter taeks d'medsun" if she wants to feel "rite gud" again. :Luv:
Well done Norman Wisdom. :evillaugh: (Boys! :innocent:)
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope Annabel is feeling better soon! Fingers crossed the vets can work out what is up and treat her quickly.
Hope Lucy is able to take a spoonful of sugar with her medicine and not a chunk of your finger!
-
Oh no T - so sorry to hear there's some poorly puds at Paws at the mo.
Sending lots of vibes to Annabel. There's 16 black paws crossed here for her.
x
-
Hope things improve tomorrow T. :hug: Sending lots of positive vibes for all, especially Annabel the ballerina.
-
Just popping by to give hugs to all at the Inn this morning. :grouphug:
-
Hope things are much better today. Can the vet not give Lucy an injection?
-
T we are sending lots of get well vibes from here at the Clan to all at the Inn :hug:
They have also mgot crossed pawd but are doing this on a rota due to hunting and other needs :shocked:
-
Only just read this - really hope there's been an improvement for Lucy and Annabel. Can only imagine caring for that many teeny kittens. :scared:
-
I hope theres good news for all today
love
Tab
-
Topping up the :hug: and get well vibes to all the poorly babes and the :hug: to you too T. Hope there has been some improvement.
-
Still waiting for proper update from vet but nurse said Annabel was brighter and eating when I rang early this am, so hopefully all will be well.
Meanwhile her 4 babies have exhausted me, thankfully they are now in a heap soundly sleeping.
-
oh T that beautiful little torti, she is adorable - wish I could have her :Luv2:
-
You mean you can choose a favourite...? ;) They're all adorable. (And hard work by the looks of them. ;))
-
we are torti fetishists in our house JS, its all I see lol!
-
Funny, but the little tortie caught my eye too - she looks so solemn and yet doggedly determined. :evillaugh:
Glad to hear the news Teresa.
-
oh T that beautiful little torti, she is adorable - wish I could have her :Luv2:
Thats Darcey Tuttle, shall I stick a first class stamp on her or to you want to collect her yesterday.
-
Incidentally did you all notice how I captured the poop purrfectly on camera :rofl:
-
Teresa you are a tempress - get thee behind me!
-
Darcey for me too, or Norman Wisdom but then the other two are :Luv2: too oh decisions, decisions :rofl:. It's a good job I don't live near the Inn that's all I can say :rofl:
Hopefully Annabel has turned a corner and will be back with you soon :hug:
-
Catnappers beware Darcey and Norman would like to introduce their bodyguard Cracker :rofl: :rofl:
-
Cracker looks like he could be easily swayed with a large meaty bone :naughty:
-
Gorgeous babies!! :Luv2: :Luv2: Hoping Annabel is on the mend now :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Annabel is home and currently under attack by four little kittens who are delighted to see her,Annabel has done a couple of growls and stolen all the kitten food but she has washed each kitten and thanked me for the shabby state I left them in, kittens all trying to get at the milk bar, will need to keep close eye on all but fingers crossed it works out ok for a happy reunion.
Vet no idea what caused her to be so ill and she is home without medication.
-
Great news :Luv2:
-
Aw, so glad she's back home although I bet you're finding it a bit frustrating that no cause has been found. Fingers, toes, and paws crossed it was very much a one off.
Cracker's such a loveable little chap isn't he! Has he met his new housemate/new baby yet?
-
Cracker's such a loveable little chap isn't he! Has he met his new housemate/new baby yet?
Actually new baby was in photo with Cracker and kittens but I cut baby out. Baby has been staying here since leaving hospital on Sunday,this morning I actually found an hour to cuddle him (baby not dog). Must admit bottlefeeding tiny kittens helps keep you up to speck with human babies :rofl:
Annabel seeems to be quite happy with her babies so far.
-
So glad that Annabel is home and keeping everything crossed that she goes from strength to strength xxx
Beautiful photos as always :Luv2:
-
Im glad Annabel is home and back with her babies. I dont know why but I fell for her at your description and when I found she was a tortie I really wished I had money and Amber wanted a friend.
Im glad you have time to cuddle baby as well and kittens. In fact I wish I lived closer I love cuddling both kitties and babies, even if I do have severe back and leg aches after being sat on by my friends cat for an hour this afternoon.....we wont mention the nail holes from when she fell off my knee :evillaugh:
love
Tab
-
So glad to hear that Annabel is back and feeling better. Any news on how Lucy is getting on?
-
So glad Annabel and Lucy are ok a bit worrying that they couldn't find out what caused Annabel to be so ill. Kittens look great your doing a wonderful job. Glad you got to cuddle baby TJ as well.
Julie
-
Glad Annabel is home, i had a similar incident with Tiger once, really high temp, went to the vets, couple of jabs, tests inconclusive and it cleared up in a couple of days. Glad she is happy with her babies though.
-
Both Annabel and Lucy have cared for their kittens well overnight, I am supplement feeding both litters which is hard messy work but mums lick kittens clean so no worries, it wont go on forever. Lucy very reluctantly taking her calcium and have noticed the vacant look is less and less and her temper is improving so its doing its job.
Gave my leg one heck of a knock and fell on a solitary piece of woodbased cat litter this morning whilst cleaning the Muckspots, they thought it was hilarious and while I was stuck on the floor crying they decided to pull all my clean washing all over the floor, Chuckyegg , Sunflower and Kentucky climbed on my kitchen units stealing the food put out ready for the ferals,in other words total bedlam.
No wonder I am exhausted.
-
Oh no! It sounds like you've been in the wars.
Naughty muckspots!! :hairrasin:
I hear chocolate is very good for taking your mind off injuries. ;)
-
Poor you, poor washing and poor ferals. :hug: :hug: :hug: I hope you have no lasting effects from your fall T, its surprising how lethal that woodchip litter can be, if it decides to roll under your feet then the cahnces are you roll with it. :-: I'm glad to hear that Lucy and Annabel are back on form - long may it continue.
-
Hope you are ok Teresa.
-
Blimey those muckspots are a handful :Crazy: hope you are ok T and glad that Annabel and Lucy are doing well along with all the babies :Luv2:
-
Oh Teresa. Hope you're not feeling too knocked out by your fall. :hug: :hug: Norty muckspots. >:(
-
Yet another rush to vets late this afternoon, Lucy very sick as a result of her calcium levels, have been supplementing kittens diet for over a week now but its no good vet has decided kittens to be taken away from her so thats it 5 little blacks for handrearing.
Vet also pointed out that it is quite possible that Lucy is already pregnant (her kittens are 4 weeks old) I think he prefers me with grey hair :rofl:
I am tired, I`m aching, I`m hungry and so behind with human things and I made the mistake of reading about male chicks so I need a good cry too.
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
T I might just join you in a good cry its that kind of day
I hope things improve for you and that Lucy isnt pregnant again
love
Tab
-
Teresa - offering a hankie and a shoulder if you need it. :hug: :hug: :shy:
-
OH dear, I was so hoping you wouldn't have to hand rear another litter and the thought that Lucy might be pregnant again just doesn't bear thinking about. Silly thing to say under the circumstances but do try to get some 'me' time. A poorly Mum T is just not what these kittens need and we dont want it either. Sending lots of gentle :hug: :hug: for your aching bones and a big bunch of these :summer flowers: to soothe your soul and lift your spirits. Hope Lucy will be OK.
-
So hope Lucy isn't pregnant again. :scared: Also hope things get a little less stressful (long shot, I know...) at some point soon.
-
It's just neverending isn't it :hug:
-
Good luck with handrearing, and I hope Lucy isn't pregnant, as it doesn't sound like she is well enough to cope with another pregnancy
-
It's just neverending isn't it :hug:
No its not, I just cant do this anymore,have spend last 4 hours on my knees feeding/cleaning and in agony and in 20 minutes its time to start over again.
As to Lucy being pregnant everyone on here knows that I have never aborted and fight for every life, however if it turns out she is pregnant God forgive me because I will terminate for her sake as she is too weak to cope. I have agonised all night over this decision.
-
Teresa, it sounds to me like you are being run ragged. I hope things get easier really soon.
On the topic of Lucy, I'd say that by terminating you are still fighting for every life. You are fighting for Lucy's life. I am not someone that would terminate if there was a choice, so I don't say that lightly. You also have to think about all the other little wards in your care, as it is, it is very unlikely that if Lucy does give birth to live babies that she will be in any state to look after them or that they will be very healthy kittens, which would take a huge toll on your resources with a very unlikely outcome of healthy full grown cats at the end of it. If Lucy were heath it would be a different matter but as you say, she is weak and ill and she needs you to fight for her.
-
Oh poor you T! I hadn't seen your latest two posts last night when I sent you the PM - would have sent more cyber hugs if I'd have known!
I can only begin to understand how tough a decision is deciding to get a litter terminated but, as Skully says, in the case of poor Lucy it could end up being the kinder option for Mum cat.
If you could do with my help over the next couple of days - whether it's kitten cuddling/ vet's run / muck-spot wiping / shoulder to cry on / etc then give me a bell or send me a PM and I can come by :hug: :hug: :hug:
x
-
T i'm sorry to hear how hard everything is at the moment as for Lucy I agree with what others have said, I know it isn't something you would normally do but really it sounds like the only thing to do in this case, her poor body must be wrecked
-
Oh T, so sorry to hear how things are at the moment :( I agree about terminating if Lucy is pregnant-there's no way she could cope with more babies so soon (not sure if a healthy cat could!) and you certainly couldn't! :Crazy:
I hope you manage to find time to have a rest today, but it doesn't sound like you will! :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I too agree with others,you will have to terminate to help with her life.Wish i could do half of what you rescuers do.x :hug:
-
Sorry to hear things are so tough, I hope things improve soon! A nice hot bath and a hot chocolate to get in some me time perhaps?
I agree with others, you have to think of Lucy's life as well as the kittens.
:hug:
Jen
-
Not much to add really except to send my love and lots of :hug:. I agree with the others re Lucy, it's not something any of us do lightly but she certainly couldn't cope with another pregnancy and the kittens would be unlikely to be healthy. You are thinking about Lucy as she is the one in your care and needing your help and although it's a horrible decision to have to make we know you will have Lucy's best interests at heart when you make it. My heart goes out to you T and I only wish I was near you and could help :hug:
-
when i worked at CP in Birmingham we had an 11 or 12 year old cat with her latest litter of 6 kittens. she suffered like poor Lucy and sadly was lost.
Lucy must be the first priority.
-
Indeed a heartbreaking decision to have to make, but you must put Lucy first :hug: :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa, just wanting to send you a hug. :hug:
-
Well all cats and kittens fed ,its been really tough going with Lucys 5 as the little boy been sick non stop, Simon and Summer have been gannets but Sunshine and Sunny are being really difficult, tonight it has occured to me that its the 3 smallest causing the problem, they have all been lapping for me for nearly a week so this is a worrying step back, I have given all 5 a dose of Lucys calcium supplement and tiny boy has had something to stop him feeling sick lets hope it works as I couldnt face vets yet again today.So far 40 minutes since feed and its still in his tummy.
Lucy bless her is so small and frail you just want to cuddle her tight and protect her forever, if only these idiots knew the damage they cause by not neutering , then again they are too mindless to care. She has had her calcium and managed to hiss at me and eaten a small tea.
Annabel on the other hand has stolen her kittens food twice, she is bright and so are her kittens, Norman Wisdom is the only one being awkward about taking solids now.
Muckspots are ginormus.
Sophies kittens getting fat.
Chelseas kittens much brighter
All others doing fine, Olly escaped again at 5am and refused to be found before 6am, it is OH to blame leaving door open in his mad rush to smoke >:(
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Can only echo the sentiments expressed about Lucy. You know you have to do what's best for her, even if it goes against a strongly held belief. I'm so sorry you might have to make that decision because of someone else being irresponsible.
Really do hope things calm down again soon.
-
Sending mahoosive :hug: :hug: :hug: to all at the Inn, especially you T. Your description of Lucy has brought tears to my eyes. :'( Poor little mite, I hope she will be OK and her little babies. :Luv2:
-
Just popping by to do a little cyber kittie cuddling :cat rub: :catlove2: Hope it's been a quiet night at the Inn.
-
I am sorry you have had such a hard couple of days, fingers crossed today is a better day for all at the Inn.
-
Just popping in to top up the :hug: and hoping that today is better for you. Poor little Lucy, your heart just goes out to her :hug:
-
Massive :hug: for you and :care: to all the little ones in your care :hug:
-
Been another heartbreaking day which began when I found tiny boy Sam dead in his litter tray when I went to give them their 6am feed. The remaining 4 have spent the last 5 hours at the vets to give me a break, Lucy was sick yet again so she too has spent day at vets being tested for just about everything.
Annabel and her kittens in for recheck at 4.20 so will pick Lucy and Kittens up at same time.
Chelseas kittens started pooping on pen floor a few days ago, I found out why this morning, Chelsea has been beating them up so have split mum and kittens just to add to the chaos. Tomorrow I need to do major move around and spring cleaning if I get chance, trouble is I havent decided who to move where ,all I know is that its time for muckspots to vacate my kitchen.
I`m afraid the doors to Paws Inn are firmly closed and I`m not sure if I even want to open them again. I have spent 22 years doing what I do and when I look at things now they are worse than when I started all those years ago; sadly I no longer feel as if I am doing any good anymore and no longer feel that I can make a difference .
-
:hug:
It gets harder each time you lose one. RIP Sam and hope the others pass with flying colours.
Take care of yourself - you must learn to say no and not overburden yourself - though a bit late for that.
I think we should all pack it in for a while and rest....
-
most of us don't make much difference in the grand scheme of things, T
but there are a lot of furry lives lived out in health and happiness because of you, and a lot of happy owners too
I think that counts for quite a lot :hug:
-
I think Trigger has summed it up perfectly T. :hug:
-
I agree Trigger has said it so well. So sorry to hear about little Sam, RIP little one. Not really much I can do that will help unfortunately except let you know I am thinking about you :hug:
Life can be :censored: sometimes.
-
Teresa, i've only been on Purrs/CC about 18 months max and in that time, you've never ceased to amaze me with what you do/have done for all the furries that have come into Paws Inn. You are a wonderful person and the cat rescue world is a much better place for having you in it.
Again, i agree, Trigger has summed it up perfectly and you deserve every one of these, and more :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Sweet dreams little Sam
Hope all the others will soon be fit and well.
-
:( Sorry about Sam, Teresa.
And never think you can't make a difference - you clearly have. Look at all those cats that would have had no chance without you. I think the doors might need to be closed - just for a little while though - you have so many to care for and it must be taking it's toll on you spectacularly. Those little muckspots need you to be OK, you know.
-
So sorry to hear about little Sam :'( :hug:
I think trigger has summed it up perfectly, I was going to post a similar thing that I saw on jezebel's signature. Just times it by several thousand cats that you've helped over the years :hug:
You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world.
I think JS is right that you need to keep those doors firmly closed. If and when you have the strength to re-open them, then so be it but you need to look after yourself and all the little ones that are depening on you at the moment :hug:
-
You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world.
Brilliant quote, just says it all!
-
T, after a week of doing a tiny portion of what you have been doing for the past 22 years I can completely understand how you must feel. I feel knackered from just looking after these extra two and the attempts at catching the rest and I have been very fortunate that thus far (touch wood) they have all been healthy with no problems. Having still not caught the mum and remaining 3 kittens I feel like giving up but know I have to help them. I thought you were amazing before but now having a tiny taste of your life myself I think your superwoman...but superwoman deserves a little break too.
I think closing your doors until things settle down is a good idea just so you can recoup and also recharge your batteries.
*hugs hugs hugs* to you and RIP little Sam xxx
-
So sorry to hear about little Sam.
T don't ever think you are powerless. Think of all the ones that you've helped so far. :hug:
-
I can only echo what the others have said - take comfort in all the good have have done and continue to do and take care of you xxxx :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So very sorry Teress - RIP little Sam xxx
Take care of yourself and dont ever think that you dont make a difference - you have made a HUGE difference to so many cats Hun and without you so many would not have survived xxx
-
Truely sorry to about little Sam and to also hear that you're (understandably) feeling a bit disheartened at the moment.
Teresa, you HAVE done an awful lot of good in the world - please remember that. Every single life which you've saved is a big and momentous achievement.
x
-
T, So sorry to hear about little Sam :hug: :hug:
"You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world. "
Lovely quote Helen.

Only found this thread last night and have read it from end to end , ive laughed , cried , but most of all been overwhelmed by the great work that youve done T , you may be at a low point on the rollercoaster at the moment but wherever it goes from here i just want to say that the world would be a much poorer place without all that youve done. :hug:
-
RIP Sam, sweet dreams.
Have a rest as much as you can and enjoy your new grandchildren as well.
Lots of work for you to move them all around. You won't be any good to them knackered out.
I always read your thread, don't post on it very often, moved either to tears or laughter, you have such spirit and it shines through in everything you say. The kittens and cats in your care look so great once they've been sorted by you, and go on to have lovely lives, being spoilt by their slaves.
Keep going for the charges in your care, and find the strength to say no for your own sake.
Nicky
-
T for every cat or kitten you have helped. For every owner who now has their beloved furry friend as a result of your actions. For every animal that has died in comfort instead of in a back alley in the pouring rain. For these you have made a difference. You are not God and can not, therefore expect success every time. Even He lucks out when people make the wrong choices.
However, I do think that after 22 years you deserve to take some time to care for yourself. So do so with our blessing if that is your choice. Personally I suspect you will be responding to the very next cry for aid and will continue doing that till you drop in your tracks.
Take care :hug: :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I am sorry you have had such a bad week T, and whether or not Paws Inn opens its doors or not, think of what would have happened to the thousands of cats you have helped over the years if it weren't for you, because we all know that some of them wouldnt' have even been touched by other rescues, but you are one of the true rescues who helps cats regardless, and I wish there were more like you. I dont know many rescue people who are still so active after two decades, or have as much devotion as you do.
-
Thinking of you T :hug: Hope you and all at the Inn are well and managing to get some rest amongst feeding and cleaning.
RIP little Sam

Hey T,
I read your message yesterday and actually felt that I needed to post as you sound so down and it made me want to reactivate my account to send you a cyber hug. You are an inspiration in most of us normal pet owners. You have looked and cared for so many cats and pick up the mess of those owners that do not consider the implications of bringing even one extra kitten into the world. You do that, even tho you should probably be taking it easy. I am not sure I could ever see you giving up because I believe you have so much love for what you do, however that love, at the current time, in such a horrendous situation, is being stretched.
I think the BBC documentary that was on the other week showed how the rescues are being stretched and I am not sure how you get through each day without being tested emotionally.
All I want to say is try and keep your chin up think of the cats you help and what would be happening to the cats that are not in your care. It's a big cross to bear and I don't know how you do it but you do x
I deeply respect all the work you do and the how you also manage to bring a smile to my face in your posts xx

:hug: :hug: :hug:

I spoke to Aunty T last week and she sounded down but I am sure all at the Inn are still her top priority
All I can say is she is a very special lady with a unique talent for helping out and having expanding walls in her home and her pens, she shares with me a very special love for ferals
So Aunty T if you are reading this all the Clan humans, cats and doggies send you special hugs, purrs and hisses from our home to all of you at the Inn :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
.....but I am sure all at the Inn are still her top priority
That is most definitely never in any doubt. Hoping you feel less down soon, Teresa.

Just wanted to send more of my very best wishes to you T and hope that you feel less down very soon. I really don't know how you manage to do what you do but I do know how grateful all of the cats and kittens you have helped over the years are to have been found by their Auntie T. Whatever you decide to do in the future please never forget those you have done so much for both feline and human. Me, Hobbes and Luna send lots of :hug: :hug:, purrs and kitty cuddles to a very special lady :hug:
-
Sending heaps of :hug: to all at the Inn -
Lovely to see you again Si - Im sure that T will really appreciate your message :hug:

You are an inspiration in most of us normal pet owners.
Simon's post says everything I'd like to say.
jezebel's signature You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world.
You changed Christopher and James's worlds when you rescued them and they changed mine when they came to live with me. I count that as making a difference.
:)

Sorry not been around,been so busy literally not had time to switch on laptop, Carol (wendolene ) came on Saturday and the poor girl was left to wash bottoms,groom longhaired kittens and goodness knows what cleaning,as well as providing a much needed shoulder for me to cry on, I do know that I couldnt have got through the day without her.
Lucys kittens are running me ragged and I am worried sick about them, Sunshine tiny girl is not expected to live but that doesnt stop us trying, vet thinks her "plumbing" (digestive system) isnt right, like Sam she is vomitting food back and is even refusing liquid from syringe now so life is very difficult and very distressing.I will not let any animal suffer needlessly and vet agrees that keeping Sunshine going is worth the try but if she gets any worse we will pts.
Simon I am delighted to see you back young kitten Simon was told to man the Fort during your absence, afraid he didnt make me laugh once, incidentally he is the greediest and biggest of Lucys kittens and such a gentleman.I will get you pics if ever we get back to normal.
Francis :hug: your boys are so special, we need pictures.
All for now :hug: to everybuddy

All my love is just being sent over to the Inn to you T, Rob and all the babes. You have changed their lives hun and so many :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Am so pleased Aunty Carol was able to lend a helping hand (and get some cuddling in too, no doubt! ;) )
I've never known you give up on a battle yet, Teresa. Too many tiny lives have benefited from your unbending care. :hug: :hug: Sending love to all at the Inn
-
awww bless you T. You do a wonderful job! See all you have to do is ask and I come running! :naughty: :rofl:
-
Mad busy and hope to post properly later but 2 bits of news Sunshine has made it through night and looks brighter everything crossed.
2nd bit is for Aunty Suepoo," Andy vet was giving me a pick yourself up pet talk" and was harping on about some of the little miracles, I told him about Akarmaru and how wonderful his eye is now, anyway Andy had to go one better and announced I saw Pedro last night, he is a huge handsome boy now, he told me that he still has attacks about once a month but is doing just great.
Will try and post properly later and reply to all the pms :hug: :hug:
-
Excellent news - Pedro was a real little trooper to pull through the way he has - and clearly went to a loving home where he has been given the best possible life. well done T.
-
Great to see you back T - oh how I did love little Pedro , I am so glad he's doing well!! :hug: :hug: :Luv2:
-
Glad your back T and great news about Sunshine (I love that name) :D
-
Hey T, I can't add any more than everyone else has already said :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh me little Pedro! Thanks Teresa - it's lovely to have news of the big chap he's become. :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: Hoping that Sunshine can emulate Pedro's example.
-
speaking of Sunshine, T, this lyric seems rather apt for Purrs without you
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
-
Good to have you back T. Fingers and everything else crossed for Sunshine and what great news about Pedro to hear he is doing so well. Topping up the :hug: :hug: :hug: , purrs and kitty cuddles to all at the Inn :hug:
-
how lovely to hear a pedro update
-
Awww yay for the Pedro update.
Akamaru's eye has gotten so much better that the locum vet didn't notice there was anything wrong with it at first when he went for his MOT recently. :Luv:
-

Glad to hear Sunshine is still fighting, and bet you were really pleased to hear such good news about Pedro. Hope things start to get a bit easier for you.

Its very wet and windy and I am sitting here like a drowned rat (now that I have finished mucking out) BUT I need to share a very special bit of Sunshine who this morning went to her food bowl and began to eat,ok she picked most pieces up licked the jelly and then spat the offending lump out but she pretty nearly filled her own tummy doing this, I only got 6 ml in with the syringe which she gladly accepted until syringe no 7 when she told me she was full. Need to point out that Sunshine has not wanted food at all and only way to get anything in has been with 1ml syringe so feeding been long difficult job.
Yesterday we invested in yet another collapsible pen as the one the babies were in was too small, room inside for scratching post, food bowls and very posh suede bed (ok its covered with soft fleece) anyway the kittens love it and Simon loves his scratching post," yes girls its all mine" or so he thought, his sister Sunny is bigger than him :rofl: and while Simon and Sunny are deciding who is boss little Summer runs up top of said post to claim victory :rofl:
Muckspots need to be evicted they are total hooligans who jump up on worktops,throw all clean washing on floor, puncture my legs, run up your back, lick yes lick your face and generally cause mayhem, even the poor dog doesnt loiter in the kitchen anymore, I will never understand why people want kittens.
All the other inmates dare I say it are happy and well, Annabel is having fun stealing her kittens solids and is back to her usual chubby self.
Wilma is coping very well without Monica but I guess Wilma knew about the cancer before we did.
Sophie and her 7 terrors are almost as bad as the muckspots now, I take 4 bowls of food, dish of kitten milk and water in and am mugged by the lot of them who have gone from scrawney things to fatties.
Cant remember if I told you that we had to take Chelsea away from her kittens as she was attacking them and kittens were pooping everywhere, well mum gone an extra tray and all is well again. Chelsea on the other hand is proving very difficult, she hates all other cats and is very angry with us for putting her in a smaller pen, we need some homes but it seems there are only unsuitable ones at present.
Had a scare with Fuchsia who went missing from her bedroom the other day, she didnt appear for food and Rob raised the alarm, decided she was dead somewhere in the room and began calling and searching, bless her as soon as she heard my voice she let out a little cry, she had somehow got behind the drawers of the bed which were bolted shut and got stuck, I had to remove everything to get her out, she was so grateful she repeated the performance the following day.
-
Oh Teresa, that's fab news! ;D Paddy reckons you can "gets der long-a-ways" on a plate of jelly a day. :hug: :hug: reckon he knows a bit or two about that. :)
The Muckspots are hooligans. Minimopsical would've had them licked into shape by now. She'll be rolling her eyes and having a quiet laugh. Very pleased to hear Annabel's regaining her beautiful figure after giving you such a scare. :hug: :hug: All in all, a wet and windy day, but one to be enjoyed, nontheless. :Luv:
-
Forgot the pics, not wonderful but pics
-
Sunshine truly is a little ray of sunshine isn't she, I'm so pleased :hug:
Have to say the Muckspots make me chuckle, can just imagine them running about like loons and keeping you on your toes :hug: :hug:
-
They look like a right handful T - such cute and mischievous faces ...
-
Thanks for the update. The kittens sound erm 'fun' :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
Im glad Annabel is ok and hope Chelsea finds a wonderful home soon
love

Aw, lovely update T.
So glad you're back on Paws...I was getting a bit worried that you'd left the site. I need to come kitten cuddling soon! Will send you a PM later on.

-
Glad to see you back Teresa and hope you are feeling a bit more positive about things :hug:
My local paper has a new section where they feature four cats in rescue who are in desperate need of a home, I know you said appeals had only bought more animals in the past but I wonder if it was done slightly differently from the past and similar to my local paper ie a little biography of the cats involved and what type of home they were looking for it might be more successful?
It's been running about a month and so far all 4 cats featured each week have found a new home :) I can send you a link if you'd like? :hug:
-
Lil simon! :Luv2:
-
So sorry to hear about Sam and everything else that has been going on, been really busy and not been on for a while. You can never say you don't make a difference just look at these four of mine, where would they all be now if it wasn't for you. So a big thank you from Ted, Bill, Twinkle and Harvey. :thanks:
May be with you tomorrow if not definately on Sunday.
-
Loving your cats Julie! :Luv2:

Thanks Sheryl, yes I had done that before I rejoined : )
I was going to drop her a PM here but didn't have enough views but now I can but she has gone :(
-
Teresa hasn't left....She's just renamed herself "Account Closed"
-
I'd assume she's only done that as members have to get their accounts closed. Sorry to see this Teresa, your rescue work is amazing to follow.
-
Has she told you this Michelle? It is a real shame for rescue if she has gone. :'(
-
Very very sorry to see you go T - I'll miss the Paws updates and pics. Will have to get of my but and come and see you soon. I don't blame you for leaving as I've seen quite a bit of unpleasantness on this forum :(
-
This is a very sad day for Purrs and I think it such a shame that someone who devoted so much of her time and her life to rescue cats (isnt that after all what Purrs is all about) has felt that she had no option but to leave.
IMHO it is getting to the stage where there is too much nastiness and I can see a lot of other members following Teresa
If you are reading this T - take care Hun, I will miss reading about the Paws Inn residents and I am sure that a lot of us will miss you xxx
-
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!! Come back! :(
-
Totally clueless as to whats gone on but personally I try to support whoever I feel is morally right. I know that T does so much more than I could and all respect goes to Paws Inn for that. I so wish I could help
love

I have just realised I have two profiles!!!! EEK!

Two profiles means you have to do double the bids in the auction! :naughty:

Hope it's a fab day and lots of dosh is raised, Paws Inn currently has over 50 cats/kittens looking for homes - by my calculations that's 150 odd pouches, over 12 boxes, of cat food every single day :Crazy:
Will be buying my tickets after payday and we'll be there in spirit :hug:
-
Just a bump for this, 4th Dec... be there or be
square elsewhere :evillaugh:
Payday has finally arrived so have bought our tickets, hope everyone has a fab day :hug:
We are opening our doors to supporters on Saturday 4th December 2010 between 1pm and 5pm to raise much needed funds for the rescue. We are currently in dire straits and have extensive vet and food bills with very little funds to pay for them.
Visitors will have a chance to meet some of the current residents at the Inn and learn more about the rescue work that we do and how the money raised will go to help many more cats in need.
The social will include a raffle plus cat gifts and toys etc and other fun games. Perfect for Christmas presents.
Mince pies and a glass of mulled wine is included in the admission charge.
If you would like to visit then please email pawsinn@aol.com for contact details and directions.
Admission is £5 for adults and £2.50 for children (includes refreshments).
We look forward to seeing you or if you can't make it then a donation would be greatly appreciated. We hate to ask, but we do really need your help to survive.
Many Thanks
Paws Inn Cat Rescue, Weaverham

This is going to be a long post, but Teresa emailed me the updates on Paws Inn as I was desperate to know what was happening in that wonderful place, it is so lovely that she is still keeping these updates:
At the Inn
Minus 3 this morning and mucking out begins as normal, poor cats cant understand why your fingers are purple and you keep dropping everything.
The Muckspots are huge now, bouncing all over me, its so hard to imagine that only a few weeks ago they were so tiny and frail as Kiev is busy savaging my hair yet again, Olive who I hardly hoped would survive has turned into a greedy little gannet always first to the food, Chuckyegg, Kentucky, Flora and Sunflower all take great delight in running me ragged, I can tell by the amount of purrs.
Sophie and her 7 little trouble makers are also growing at an alarming rate and are all such bundles of fun, Star and Sabrina the 2 little black/whites have the most perfectly formed piglet tails you could imagine, Serena and her brother Sol are explorers and take every opportunity to try to find an access point into the Pen next door as they think the Muckspots have much more fun.
The 3 longhaired kittens Selena, Skip and Stig look more like they should be adorning a chocolate box each day.
In the living room chaos reigns as Simon, Sunny and Summer treat the furniture like a giant toy and Simon realises the babies swinging chair is a huge fun place for a kitten to ride especially when you can sit on Nurse Betty (cuddly toy cat) at the same time, poor little Sunshine is not so good today we may go to see the vet later on, somehow I am convinced this little one is on loan.
Chelseas kitten Dinky is very displeased when I attempt to stick her pill down her throat and manages to send it back up before showing me teeth and claws, it doesn’t work and soon pill No 1 is safely swallowed, we will attempt pill no 2 in a few minutes when her litter mates Dainty and Dodger have calmed down a little, they seem to think they are in for medication too, they will be relieved to know its just for Dinky who appears to be yet another cerebral hypoplasia girl.
Annabel’s little family are growing fast, 7 weeks now and getting to the stage where they want to investigate the world, Norman Wisdom is definitely the ring leader followed by Fontaine. Pavlova is busy doing her ballerina steps while Darcy Tuttle is busy lounging around looking beautiful.
The adult cats are patiently waiting for breakfast with the exception of Chelsea who is busy with her usual routine of “I hope you have something different for me, something a little special “ yes Chelsea is a fussy madam.
We had a visitor later this morning a lovely lady called Anne, 15 years ago she came to us and adopted a little ginger boy called Russell, just over 3 years ago she adopted Andrew another of our bottlefeds to keep Russell company, today she met and fell in love with Norman Wisdom who will be going to live with the family when he is old enough, cant help but think what a wonderful life he has ahead.
Caught little Sunshine weeing on my carpet this afternoon, think her problems could well be kidney related, have put her on antibiotics and given her some vitamins, meanwhile keeping a very close eye on her. Have since been to vet who has given more antibiotics and vitamins, he agrees it looks suspiciously like kidney problems. The remainder of the day has been spent trying to organise heating and dehumidifier for cat pens, old dehumidifier broke down and water began dripping from ceiling, ended up buying new machine as well as an oil filled radiator to heat the summerhouse, at least now I am spared the shame of an appeal for cat umbrellas.
7.30pm and have been on the go since 5am and still more maintenance to sort outside before allowing baby Simon and his rabble to wreck the living room again, not that it needs wrecking its full of things I am supposed to be getting ready for next weeks Christmas social, O dear starting to feel like a failure in many ways but in my heart I know the cats think differently.
Sunday 28th November
Little ones in living room all played for an hour and tortured me while I used nebulisers,they are sleeping soundly with full tummys and I`ve just spotted one huge lump in the newly cleaned litter tray best get that out. Sunshine is brighter today and playing a little, poor girl is very weak on her back legs.
Its so cold I don’t want to face the journey down the path to the summerhouse but I know Sophie her 7 and the 6 muckspots have my feeding and cleaning duties timed to the second so best go and face it. Don’t know why I worried it was only minus 7 and I was numb to everything in no time, the inmates were all ecstatic to see me or rather the banquet I had prepared for them and dived in like hungry wolves. We have set up a new oil filled radiator which should hopefully provide more cosy living quarters for them.
By the time I reached the Isolation block I was considering a change of name to Mrs Frost, thankfully once in the Pens I soon began to warm up.
Dinky did her usual trick of spit the pill out, its not easy to pill a cat at the best of times but when your hands are blue with cold it’s a nightmare and painful when the fingers come in contact with the teeth.
Melody, Lucy, Chelsea, Dodger, Dainty Annabel and her 4 all enjoyed a hearty breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed showing me how much cleaning they had made for me. Its funny I hate washing up but each morning we have around 100 - 120 cat bowls to wash and it’s a pleasure to do, warms the frozen hands nicely.
Must start making things for Saturdays social.
8.30pm and I am able to sit and relax, the rest of the work can wait till tomorrow, have 23 bags of rum truffles all bagged up nicely as well as some bags of sweets, tomorrow I must try to do some baking and some wrapping of raffle prizes and sale goods, that is after mucking out of course. Just remembered Dinky and possibly Sunshine vet appt at 10.30am so that must be done before any social prep. Think I need several of me.
Monday 29th
The cat pens were as warm as toast this morning so new heater and dehumidifier doing their jobs, just need to be a contortionist to squeeze into tiny working area I have allowed for myself.
Just back from the vets with Sunshine and Dinky, Sunshine has been sick this morning so she has had a couple of injections. Vet agrees that Dinky`s walking is getting worse and he has injected metacam just to see if it makes any difference despite the fact that her problem appears to be neurological.
1st December it’s a wonder I have any fingers left after doing a marathon worming session, lost count of how many pills after 24 but fortunately I list each cat as they receive the precious pill.
Seem to have spent hours answering phones to idiots wanting kittens for Christmas presents, Tuesday 7th Dec.
Last week was hectic getting ready for last Saturdays Christmas Social, many of our wonderful supporters braved the terrible weather to come and we raised a massive £960 which has thankfully covered our November vet bill.
The last 3 mornings have seen us clinging onto anything that doesn’t move while navigating along the sheet ice to the cat pens, getting to the summerhouse has been death defying but once inside it is so snug and warm and full of happy kittens and of course one mother cat; on a good note 2 of Sophies kittens are off to their new homes on Friday as is Norman Wisdom; Melody went to her new home last Friday.
Vet will be coming on Thursday to do yet another round of vaccinations, possibly 16 not counted up properly yet.
Sunshine is making good progress but is another little one who cannot walk properly, she reminds me of a spring lamb with her little leaps into the air but then when she somersaults backwards she reminds me of Minimopsical, I so hope she will outgrow this but somehow I fear I have yet another disabled little one. We are pretty certain that Dinky has some sort of brain storage disease, X-rays, blood tests have failed to find a cause for her inability to walk.
16 vaccinations done on Thursday, only little Sunshine pronounced unfit to vaccinate but she is currently doing ok, she so reminds me of a very young Minimopsical. Debbie came to help with today’s vet visit and seemed to spend most of her time laughing at Sunshine, Simon, Summer and Sunny as they did their very best to destroy my Christmas tree and then fought like crazy using my tree baubles as footballs.
Saturday 11th December, my poor tree could take no more, the kittens are 9-10 weeks now and not only into everything but climbing everything, I was so proud of my little tree and eagerly waiting for the grandchildren to visit and admire it, the tree has received major surgery this morning and hopefully it will survive till Christmas now that the 4 kittens have been moved to the kitchen. Bonnie has been brought into the living room and I saved the arm of our leather settee with seconds to spare, these cats are proving very hard work.
Thankfully Bonny has been reserved to go in January.
Sophies kittens Skip and Selena went to their new home yesterday, Sophie seems quite happy to be down to 5 kittens. Got a family coming to select 2 kittens at midday but they will not be going to new homes now until January.

Same here :(

Thanks for posting that Daisymac. I'm another one who desperately misses T's updates. :(
-
I had the an email update from Teresa a couple of weeks ago, it was so lovely to hear the care she is continuing to offer those cats. She manages to always tell their story so well. She is hopefully going to email me some pics of little Simon if he sits still long enought.
Teresa is a remarkable lady. She offers a fantastic rescue and it was a shame she was driven away from here, and loses valuable extra publicity for Paws Inn.
-
How wonderful to hear all these updates - I really miss them (and her) too. I sincerely hope that one day she will come back..............
-
I am so glad to hear an update from her, I really dont know how she manages.

Here is a pic that T sent me of an Agile Kitten loving Christmas :Luv2:

Here is the latest Paws Inn update, hot off the press, T sends them to me as she knows I love them, so thought I would share as I know she is missed.
Sophies kittens Skip and Selena went to their new home yesterday,
Sophie seems quite happy to be down to 5 kittens. Got a family coming
to select 2 kittens at midday but they will not be going to new homes
now until January.
Sunday 12th December
Another morning of struggling on ice to reach the summerhouse but the
cats are all warm and comfortable oblivious to the cold outside unless
of course they climb up and look out of the window.
Sat in kitchen watching young Sunshine playing alone this morning,(her
litter mates had all gone to sleep) what a little star this sweet girl
is turning into. I realise I am far too attached to her already and its
frightening as I cannot give the long term commitment this little one
needs, the same applies to Dinky; as heartbreaking as it was when dear
Minimopsical died I at least no longer had the worry of her out living
me, now I fear I have a double worry.
Wednesday 15th Dec.
Debbie has been out in the summerhouse playing with the muckspots for
the last hour,her kindness has been rewarded by Chuckyegg who decided
to leave a 3inch long scratch down her face, have suggested she changes
her name to scar face.
Weighed Sunshines litter today, trouble is I didn’t have glasses on and
couldn’t read the scales but I am assured that Sunshine is now up to
800grams, Summer is just 2lbs, Sunny is 2lbs 6ozs and Simon has finally
taken the lead at 2lbs 8ozs. Sunshine has had as much fun as her litter
mates today kicking her little ball and dancing round the kitchen.
Had a call earlier to say how wonderfully well Melody had settled into
her new home, lady spent a good 15 minutes telling me how delightful
Melody is, I am just so happy that Melodies “time” has come and her
days will now be filled with the happiness she so deserves.
Looks like Lucy will need a trip to see the vet tomorrow, a large wound
has appeared where she had her vaccination, it doesn’t seem to be
bothering her but its over an inch in diameter so best to have it
checked out.
Thursday 16th Dec.
Lucy has been to the vet, Andy says it is a reaction to her vaccination
and one which he needs to report , he is not worried about it as it is
clean and showing no signs of infection, he has given an antibiotic
injection though as the wound is so large. Lucy was unperturbed by the
attention and was quite eager to get back into the waiting room to
continue growling at the dogs.
Lots of snow blowing heavily this afternoon and it made feeding time
difficult, told all the cats how lucky they were to have such warm
surroundings, its occurred to me that the cat pens are warmer than the
house.
Out in the summerhouse I learnt the importance of always keeping calm
when I found one of Sophies kittens hanging 3 foot in the air with his
neck through a dangly toy, fortunately he had only just got into that
mess and was clinging to the toy so no weight was on his neck otherwise
we would have lost him, needless to say toy has been cut down.
Vet nurse gave me some Sheba cat food which had been left for me, its
not a food I normally use so decided to try the very fussy Chelsea and
Grace with it, both foils gone in minutes, I will never figure cats out.
The wee ones in the kitchen are becoming excellent footballers and
little Sunshine seems to be mastering the art of the backward flip,
what a joy it is to sit and watch them. Though I was rather displeased
this morning, whilst I was stood at sink washing the mountain of cat
bowls kittens were supposed to be playing,instead cheeky Simon ran up
my leg puncturing a vein the pain was bad enough but feeling a sudden
hot sticky gush of running blood made things even worse. This is
happening a little too often.
Saturday 18th its 11 years today that I lost my feral boy Luke to Fiv ,
during his years with us Luke became very much a house cat enjoying his
creature comforts.
Everywhere is covered in a thick carpet of snow, Rob had to clear the
path for me to get down to the cat pens to muck out but by the time I
had finished the snow had come down again. Milly bless her is delighted
with the icy covering and is pouncing about like a big child, whilst
the other cats are happy to peer at it from a window. I cant remember
seeing it this bad in the 24 years we have been here and the sky is
full of it. I worry myself sick thinking of all the poor strays having
to cope in such conditions.
Young Sunshine maybe small but my goodness she is solid, she’s always
first to the food bowl and last to leave.
Dainty and Dodger are responding well to Zylkene and much less nervous
now.
Sunday 19th Dec,
Thanks to the playfulness of the muckspots mucking out was a total
nightmare this morning, how can it be possible to scrub 2 scratching
posts and kittens mess things up quicker than you can clean, not only
that my poor trousers were soaked when I knelt in some spilt goats milk
and then got a covering of wet cat litter, finally when the bowl of
cold water was knocked over me I just couldn’t take anymore and the
tears came along with the words “I cant do this anymore”, before I knew
it Chuckyegg and Kiev were nuzzling as if they knew they’d gone too
far, such dear, sweet manipulative kittens, guess I’m proud of them
really.
The wee ones in the kitchen weren’t much better, their latest game is
jumping onto the full dustpan after I have finished sweeping to see how
far they can scatter the contents, Simon currently thinks its fun to
climb everywhere and anywhere especially up my legs which are now
covered in huge craters.I really need a cat to educate all of these
unruly bottlefeds, the late Buster and Minimopsical are really missed
in this department.
Monday 20th Dec
Warmest Temperature today minus 7degrees, heating is on full 24/7 but
its still not enough to stop water freezing. Ginga Ninjas making do
with Snugglesafe and so far seem to be coping alright. Really worried
about one of our ferals Milly who has refused to come for her afternoon
meal, found her on top floor of the bunker sitting shivering, after a
quick check she seems unharmed so have given her a heated pad and
wrapped her in a fleece, will go back in half an hour to check just
incase a vet is needed though I don’t know how I will get her into a
carrier. Snow and Christmas may seem magical but in truth its just one
massive worry and these are the lucky ones who have us to feed and
watch over them, seems so wrong that so many people are wrapped up in
buying toy mice for their cats totally unaware of the sadness going on
in the real world; if only I could help more.
-
All go still....as expected! Teresa really should make a book out of all these; I know people would buy it.
-
I for one would!
Lovely to read an update. Thanks for sharing.
-
Lovely update - thanks for sharing Daisymac.
Its interesting that Chelsea's kittens Dainty and Dodger are responding to the Zylkene. I read somewhere that it in someway mimics the feelings that cats have when they are feeding from mum so only works in those that have had a positiveexperience with their mums which is not the case with Dainty and Dodger. Obviously the article was wrong.
-
I dont know how T copes with it all. Im sure I would have had a breakdown before now.
I love hearing the updates
love
Tab
-
Here is the latest update, straight from T's hospital bed :hug: :hug: :hug:
The good news is that Milly is fine, I put her in a cat carrier and took her into the kitchen to get a proper look at her, she demolished a dish of double cream and then asked for more before requesting permission to go outside again.
Tuesday 21st
Muckspots have managed to break one of their big scratching posts in the night, I had a terrible job removing it from their pen while they had the time of their lives bouncing over me and the broken post.
Sophie’s lot think that life in the muckspots pen is wonderful and each morning do their best to join the muckspots, good job I do headcounts.
Bonny had a visit from her new mum today, she met Cracker the dog head on without problem so should be fine when she goes to live with her new dog next Tuesday.
2 very annoying calls from drunkards wanting Christmas kittens late this evening, I am so sick of wasting time fighting these idiots off.
Wednesday 22nd
Another day of snow and paths needing clearing so we could get down to the pens, the kittens think its wonderful and spend hours climbing up to peek at the magical snowflakes falling dancing outside their window.
Friday 24th
Kittens have been good today and allowed me to get on with household chores, I don’t believe I have found time to wash bedroom curtains in between spud bashing and preparing a banquet fit for cats and humans alike . Each year I carefully decide which of our rescues will be given the honour of eating the first slice of turkey, this year I have chosen Sunshine probably because she has fought so hard to reach Christmas and also because she brings the biggest ray of sunshine into every heart she meets.
Saturday 25th
Our Christmas day begins as usual by mucking out all the cat pens and wishing each of our little ones a happy Christmas, sadly there are no presents for the cats this year as vet bills have been high and money is tight, our rescues don’t seem to mind, they have enjoyed a hearty breakfast and know they are loved and of course have roast turkey to look forward to later after Sunshine has passed it fit for the cats.
Each Christmas I make each of my charges a promise that next Christmas they will be in their new forever home, sadly we have a few stragglers that I have failed this year but we keep trying.
Little Sunshine demolished her turkey and more, so did the other cats, a special mention must go to Grace who was so grateful for turkey anyone would think you had given her the moon. Milly the feral has been coming into the kitchen demanding fresh double cream each afternoon and while I’m at it she says “ have you seen how cold it is ? Best feed me an extra sachet and make it salmon flavour.
Christmas day is a day when our thoughts go out to those loved and lost over the years, too many to mention but Minimopsical, Buster, Cringle, Iris, Cleo and dear Monica all had memorable times here. Thankfully Hettie seems to have taken Wilma under her paw since Monica left and even Milly is being kind to her.
Sunday 26th
Human it seems is useless, after mucking out the summerhouse she collapsed in the snow revealing human flu, you just cant get the staff these days.
Tuesday 28th
Human very ill, Bonny off to new home at 11am. Not surprisingly Bonnys pen was filled by 11.15 by large ginger cat who clucks like a hen, dear me did I really say that ?this flu is bad.
Sunday 2nd January
Human in hospital so I am only able to relay information given that cats are all well and happy. Chuckyegg and his sister Sunflower went to their new home together this morning and Simba the ginger boy was finally claimed, not a penny offered towards his keep and what’s more husband gave a cat carrier away as woman was going to put him in boot, somehow I think this boy will end up in care again.
-
Oh my I love these updates but do wish I could do more to help
I hope T and everyone at the Inn is ok
love

Oh god, the poor ginger kitty. I can't believe they were actually going to put it in the boot and thought that was fine! There are some weird people about.
Hope you are feeling stronger T and that you get better soon.

Thanks Daisymac for relaying the update.
I hadn't realised Teresa was in hospital again, tho I see she has been posting today. Get well soon! :hug:
Christopher :Luv: and James :Luv2: would say hello but they're spark out on their huge cat bed my bed, currently their favourite place. ;D
:)

Feels really good to be home and able to write an update. Been so busy today, have rehomed 2 of Sophies kittens Serena and Sol,and the really good news Grace has been reserved and all being well should be off to her new home tomorrow.
We have been busy settling in the 7 little bottlefeds who have spent the day pooping for England :rofl:they were evidently born on 23rd Dec so are 2 weeks old so not too difficult.
Sunshine and her gang were so glad to see me last night and today I ventured down to Summerhouse to see Sophie and babies and of course my muckspots who recognised me instantly, they all look really happy and well.
Ninjas also looked happy and well, not been to brick Pens today as I am on light duties but think tomorrow I am back on normal slave labour :rofl:
Have taken loads of pics this last few weeks will try and post some soon.Couldnt resist this meercat called Simon :rofl: and a couple of the very scrawny Bonny taken aweek before she left for her new home last week.
-
can't believe you've come out of hospital to 7 bottlefed babies! well I suppose I can - that Bonnie is my Oscars twin sister!
-
How are the Ninjas still there?! They're stunners! :Luv:
-
:) Am so pleased Grace has been reserved - and loving the piccie of your little Meerkat :rofl:
Am so pleased you're home again, and I don't suppose there's any use whatsoever in pleading with you to remain on light duties, but me and The Padster are sending you super duper shnoozles to make sure you start the day off right. :cat rub: :hug:
-
The Clan are sending purrs and hisses to all at the Inn and special ones for Aunty T who is no doubt up to her armpits in little bottle feeding babies so we ask that you please take care of yourself and no more hospital visits for a while we need our updates on the Inn residents :hug:
-
Stayed up all night with bottlefeds and its best nights rest I`ve had in a long time, catnapping is so painless :rofl: pleased to report that bottlefeds (already been nicknamed the houdinis are doing well), we had awful problem with their poops yesterday but that does seem to be resolving itself now; ok so why the Houdinis I hear you ask,this idiot decided they could start off in a big collapsible pen being as it was already in the living room,in the middle of feeding last night I could hear terrible squealing coming from the kittens who had been fed so said to Rob to check as I was busy feeding others, one little one had stuck his head through the bars and got stuck fast, Rob was panic but as I`ve said before a calm head sorts thing out quicker so after a fair bit of relaxation out he came :rofl: needless to say babies are now in a smaller pen.I must admit I am really enjoying feeling useful again.
Going out to outside pens for spot of mucking out in a few minutes wonder if I will enjoy that.
Got a very special helper coming today hope she remembers to put card in her camera this time :rofl:
Please everyone stop worrying about this old boot, I am at my very best when being useful.
-
Please everyone stop worrying about this old boot, I am at my very best when being useful.
We know that. :hug: But we can't stop caring any more than you do about the little ones in your care, missus. ;)

Bonny is looking lovely and Im glad shes got a new home.
I hope the houdinis are behaving for you
love

Great to see you back and having fun!!! Lovely photos and update! (All my icons have vanished so "hugs hugs hugs")

:evillaugh: Those Houdinis will keep you on your toes................. along ith all the others! :hug: :hug:
-
Took a pic today and just knew it would make aunty Suepoo smile, I am a proud proud human today for little kitten age just 2weeks today went to litter tray and left a present, I dont ever recall managing to achieve this at such a young age before.
Also posted pics of staffie dog Cracker who was last night stimulating kitten to toilet for us, just shows how gentle staffies can be in the right hands.
-
OMG some 'grey babies'! :Luv2: :Luv2: What a gorgeous photo! Cracker is a sweetheart isn't he? :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Don't know about Suepoo but made me giggle!!
Do love Cracker , a gentleman of a dog. :Luv2:
-
:evillaugh: Yep - it did indeed make me giggle. :)
Lovely babies. :Luv: And what a darling Cracker is. ;)
-
What fabulous updates :) I spy with my little eye a new grandchild next to cracker the kitten licking dog too ;D
Am I alone in thinking the litter trained 2 week old's offereing looks like crispy chilli beef from the chinese?! :sick: :evillaugh:
can't believe you've come out of hospital to 7 bottlefed babies! well I suppose I can - that Bonnie is my Oscars twin sister!
Bonnie is Lukey's tummy twin too!

Well rehomings didnt go quite as expected and Sol and Serena are still here, but Simon and Sunny got the home in their place. Poor Grace`s new owner failed to show but this morning 2 of my muckspots Kiev and Olive have left for their new home. 7 dwarfs are thriving and become more adorable everyday, I am on my 3rd tin of Royal Canin milk already but 7 kittens feeding day and night every 3 hours uses lots of formula. Now got 2 pooping in litter tray bless them.
Taking Annabel and her 3 and Summer for 2nd half vaccs at 5.30 also taking Sunshine in hope that vet will consider her strong enough for first half, she is cerebral hypoplasia and fairly severe.
oops posted in trigger happy way when not intended, must be all the snow :rofl:
-
Awww good to hear the 'dwarfs' are thriving and at least some rehomings, even if not quite as planned! :Luv2: :Luv2: Good luck with Sunshine at the vets! :hug:
-
Hope it goes well
I would be interested to know more about Sunshine and her problems -OK- have just read back over old updates -poor little girl but sounds like she's a fighter .
-
Would this be any good for the little ones? http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,36069.0.html
Poor Grace but sounds like she had a lucky escape if they are the type of people who agree to rehome a cat then just don't turn up >:(
-
Poor little Grace, waiting all that time and then when somebody shows an interest they go and stand her up. :( :hug:
Glad the 7 dwarfs are still behaving themselves. :hug: Two pooping in the tray now. :wow:
I hope Kiev's new slave has plenty of hair and a tough scalp. :rofl: (for those who don't know he's adorable and ultra-friendly but likes to use his humans as a climbing frame and when he gets to the top he perches there and has a nibble :evillaugh:)
Hope the vet visit has gone well and lovely Sunshine was able to have her first vac. :Luv2:
-
Vets went well all vaccs complete and Sunshine has now had her 1st half vacc but on vets advice we have left out the leukemia part.Annabel, Sophie and Lucy all now booked in for spay and chip next Wednesday.
Hope it goes well
I would be interested to know more about Sunshine and her problems -OK- have just read back over old updates -poor little girl but sounds like she's a fighter .
Sunshine is cerebral hypoplasia and fairly severe but not as bad as the late Minimopsical was, she copes well and currently can manage litter tray very well, she will always need to be indoor cat, she does have difficultly climbing and isnt really going to cope with stairs but all things considered she has a good happy life ahead and should cope just fine. We also have Dinky born August another ch kitten.
Would this be any good for the little ones? http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,36069.0.html
Thanks Helen but I only use Royal Canin vital milk, fussy old boot arent I
Carol must tell you that it was Kievs ability to give such a wonderful head massage that got him the home :rofl: going to feel naked in the morning not having him all over me :rofl:7 dwarfs still being good and getting lots of piddles in tray now, little grey said to thank you for being so wonderful with her bottle :rofl:
-
I think its telling that these little CH kittens find their way to you - who better to care for them eh??? ;)
I definitely think there is a little tabby girl on the bridge pointing them all in the right direction! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Am so cross for Grace's sake. >:(
So you were right Teresa - poor little Sunshine, although I don't think it'll hold her back too much, bless her. :hug: I agree with Helen - not very reliable people by the sund of it.
-
So glad that you are back with us T :hug: :hug: :hug:
Have missed you and the Paws Inn updates so much xxx
-
..... little grey said to thank you for being so wonderful with her bottle :rofl:
:naughty: My attempts at bottle feeding proved what I've always known - I'm just not cut out for motherhood. :innocent: Teresa fed six while I was struggling with the one and then had to take her off me and do it herself or the poor thing would have starved to death. :-[
Glad Sunshine was deemed strong enough to have her first vaccination. Hope she's fine wth it. :Luv2:
-
:evillaugh: Carol - we all gotta start somewhere...... :hug:
-
So glad this thread is up and running again. And that T's up and running again after the flu too :)
Not so delighted with Tiggy's Mum's comment from the other day I was looking forward to my Chinese takeaway tonight although I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment ;)
S
-
Just catching up with this. So glad to hear that the rehomings are going well.
Has Kiev gone to a beauty parlour? At least that way he could charge for his head massages!
-
Mutiny at the Inn :tired: yesterday we moved Sophie to a Pen of her own as she is in for spay on Wednesday, she responded by going on hunger strike however she cant resist a carton of milk so she is now sorted, her 5 remaining kittens are all happily playing with remaining muckspots Flora and Kentucky so we moved Annabel and her 3 remaining kittens to the other summerhouse Pen as we had been getting a little bad language from Darcey Tuttle, well after almost killing myself doing the extra work the foul language spread from Darcey Tuttle to Pavlova and Fontaine and this morning I realised Annabel was the instigator, I watched Annabel steal 4 sachets of food from 4 seperate food bowls,( its not a worm problem )and then smack each kitten when they went to lick empty food bowls,Annabel also has 1 teat with a touch of mastitis, needless to say Annabel has now been re Penned on her own, hopefully the 3 kittens will learn to be friends again.Grace has now been moved into a collapsible Pen in the living room .
The 7 dwarfs are keeping me busy, (still night feeding), they are really good and I have got most of them piddling into litter tray at just 16 days, we still have to stimulate for poops and some piddles, but all things considered I am proud of them.
Summer and Sunshine seem to be really happy that theres just the 2 of them left together now Sunny and Simon have been rehomed, we have tried them with a new toy in a bid to help improve Sunshines coordination.No apparent bad reaction to Fridays vaccinations.
Will try and get some pics when time permits.
Milly has finally tired of her daily dish of double cream :rofl:
-
Now have visions of lots of little kittens running abut with cutlasses and bandannas on.................... :evillaugh:
Hopefully a spell in 'Time out' for Annabel will help restore order :hug:
-
:evillaugh: Mutiny indeed. Purrfidy, in fact. ;) :evillaugh:
-
how old is Sunshine now?
I found with boris his coordination seemed to improve a little as his muscles strengthened -the truth is it doesn't alter much but the body is able to support itself better which all helps
-
I am really hurting too much to do justice to the beautiful girl I need to tell you about.
Our beautiful feral girl Hettie was the first ever feral cat we released here 13 years ago, she took over our greenhouse and shared her food with cats and foxes alike over the years. She never allowed us nearer than 3 feet from her and in all these years we have never been allowed to touch her, she never asked for anything other than regular meals and several beds to be left in the greenhouse for herself and her friends; I must admit she took great delight in receiving 2 beautiful blankets from Pav which she loved to curl up in. Hettie took Wilma under her wing after Monica died and this afternoon Wilma came running to the house in a very agitated manner letting me know something was wrong. I found Hettie collapsed and crying in the greenhouse.
Somehow I managed to get Hettie in a cat carrier without distressing her and rushed her to the vet. Hettie was 18years old and sadly her time had come, she lay on Pavs pink blanket and allowed me to hold and stroke her while she slipped away. I feel so honoured to have shared this beautiful brave girls life who was loved by so many of us from a distance.
-
I'm so, so sorry to read this Teresa. :( Hettie was a wonderful age and that's all down to the love and care given by you. Lots of these :hug: :hug: :hug: to you. You've had a hell of a few months! :'(
Sweet dreams little Hettie :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
sorry to hear about poor Hettie. She's with her best friend again now :hug:
-
Oh Teresa. :( Poor Hettie. How touching that Wilma came to tell you something was so very wrong with her friend, and knew that you would help. :hug: :hug:
Safe journey, Hettie.
-
You gave Hettie had a life she never dreamt she would ever have -try to think of that -I'm sure she wouldn't want to see you so sad.
Sweet Dreams little lady
-
so touching that the 3 foot between your helping hand and Hettie for so much of her life shrank to nothing at her passing, and you were able to see her on her way :hug:
-
I'm so sorry to hear this, Teresa. I think what you had with Hettie was just amazing, because unlike a lot of people what mattered to you was allowing Hettie to be the one to choose the boundaries in the relationship. (I think a lot of folk, not the majority on here clearly but in general feel they have the right to choose an animals comfort levels and it saddens me.)
I'm glad she got to live with someone that embraced her purely for being the wonderful individual she was.
RIP Hettie. Loved always.
-
You gave Hettie had a life she never dreamt she would ever have -try to think of that -I'm sure she wouldn't want to see you so sad.
Sweet Dreams little lady
Very well put and can only echo this :hug:
RIP Hettie, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx
-
I'm sorry to hear this Teresa but as others have said the life she would have had without you would have been awful
-
Oh dear T, what awful news. So upsetting for you and of course it'll be upsetting for poor little Wilma.
:hug: to all,
S.
-
I can only echoe all of the beautiful words our purrs family members have already put. Massive hugs to you T xxxx
-
T so sorry for the loss of Hettie you gave her a wonderful life with you and at the end she shared with you the most special thing she had she let you hold her fro her final journery a very special feral with a very special Mummy :hug:
-
I'm so sorry T :hug: :hug:
Sweet dreams little one :hug:
-
I'm so sorry about Hettie :hug: :hug: :hug: She knew she was loved and she loved you in her own way. I'm glad she let you hold and stroke her at the end. My thoughts are with you and poor Wilma who must be feeling the pain too. :hug: I remember how pleased you were that day back in October when you looked out of the window and saw Hettie and Wilma sharing a bed for the first time.
-
So sorry Teresa :hug: and thinking too of Wilma.
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Wilma and Milly amazingly are lying together on Hetties bed and this morning a strange tortie vacated the bunker at 5am, strange happenings indeed, I will have to investigate whether or not she has an owner.
The mutinous kittens have settled down and become friends again and everything seems to be back on track apart from Chelsea who decided it would be good fun to lacerate Robs hand this morning.
The 7 tinies (still unnamed) have been to vet this morning, nothing really wrong just one with poor appetite and all veering towards constipation.
Phones driving me mad with incessant ringing, think perhaps I will have a look at some paint charts and choose colour scheme for isolation block which I need to decorate.
-
So very sorry to hear that Hettie has gone - I know how special she was to you. :hug: :hug:
-
Wilma and Milly amazingly are lying together on Hetties bed .
Aww bless, that's wonderful that they're comforting each other. Amazing creatures. :hug:
Sorry the tinies had to visit the vet and hope they're back on form very soon. Glad the mutiny seems to be over but :smack: to Chelsea, she is a very norty girl. I hope little Grace is enjoying her new position indoors.
Take the phone off the hook and put your feet up - you deserve some R&R. :hug:
-
So sorry to hear of Hettie's passing. A truly beautiful feral cat if I ever saw one.
-
Cruelty at the Inn
7 kittens forced to share 1 tiny tray, the poor things havent even got a grain of litter in the tray. :rofl:
-
Thats kitten abuse that it! I think I shall have to come and rescue them immediately! ;) :evillaugh:
-
Thats kitten abuse that it! I think I shall have to come and rescue them immediately! ;) :evillaugh:
Too late Kirst, I'm on my way :naughty: :car:
-
No wonder they're veering towards constipation :rofl: :rofl: (you know I don't meant it)
Best wishes to Sophie, Annabel and Lucy for tomorrow. :hug: Hope they don't give you any trouble in the morning T. :hug:
-
One of those kittens is really long! I thought it was two at first. Gosh, they look hard done by..... :evillaugh:
-
Don't they just bring a huge grin to your face?! ;D They're lovely little kittens.
-
:'( So sorry to read about Hettie and hope that Wilma will be ok, glad she is with Milly. Many of our ferals getting older now and I'm always concerned they'll be ok.
RIP little Hettie xx
Gorgeous little black/grey babies :Luv: :Luv:
-
:rofl:
Many of our ferals getting older now and I'm always concerned they'll be ok.
RIP little Hettie xx
The hardest part in caring for true ferals is the worry that the day will come when they need help and wondering if they will allow themselves to be caught, after all a trap is useless to a cat that doesnt want food. In truth I have spent the last 5 winters worrying myself sick about Hettie. You have to live amongst ferals to realise that so many can and do just disappear and die. I am thankful that both Monica and Hettie allowed me the final favour of helping them.
Lucy, Annabel and Sophie all been spayed and chipped today and all ok, Rob is collecting them from vets after work.
7 Dwarfs still unnamed think I like it this way :rofl: 6 of them eating for England, the seventh being a picky little madam. They will be 3 weeks tomorrow may try swimming lessons in kitten soup :rofl: perhaps not, will see how much strength I have tomorrow.
All big kittens having great fun and doing well.
-
Yes indeed Teresa. It must be a constant worry, when you care for them all just as much - indoor/outdoor, domesticated or feral. :hug:
Am so pleased all went well at the Vets :)
-
After being nicknamed the seven dwarfs I do hope they eventually get named the proper seven dwarf names ;) I'd feel mean having to pick a "Dopey" though.
Life at the Inn always goes on but I hope you have had a little time to think of Hettie T and I hope all her friends are ok and not missing her too much. I do still worry about the two feral adults (Tia and TwoFace) that I released at the farm. Part of me wants to ring and check they are ok and the other part of me doesn't just in case something bad has happened (like they disappeared or something) :(
-
Steff my advice make the phonecall and hopefully you will be reassured and if God forbid things have gone wrong you get chance to put them right and more importantly we all learn from mistakes :hug:
Hettie has provided me with lots of happy thoughts and lots of tears, she was so special and I am so grateful she gave herself to me at the end.
Now these dwarfs, daft as it sounds I need the luxury of choosing their names myself and I need to base their names on their characters, I have named one so far and believe me Dopey, grumpy etc dont come into it :rofl: :rofl:
-
Glad the spays went well and trust the ladies are home now. :hug:
Looking forward to hearing the names of the seven dwarfs when they get them. :Luv:
I hope you are looking after yourself as well as the kitties in your care T. :care:
-
Looking forward to the naming of the magnificent 7 I think they are just gorgeous and so lucky to be Paws Inn babies with Auntie T for a Mummy
The ferals bring laughter and tears and Hettie seemed to bring both - we will remember her with a smile a rare thing in deed a feral lady with a wonderful human Mum :hug:
-
Glad you are feeling better x

I am really hurting too much to do justice to the beautiful girl I need to tell you about.
Our beautiful feral girl Hettie was the first ever feral cat we released here 13 years ago, she took over our greenhouse and shared her food with cats and foxes alike over the years. She never allowed us nearer than 3 feet from her and in all these years we have never been allowed to touch her, she never asked for anything other than regular meals and several beds to be left in the greenhouse for herself and her friends; I must admit she took great delight in receiving 2 beautiful blankets from Pav which she loved to curl up in. Hettie took Wilma under her wing after Monica died and this afternoon Wilma came running to the house in a very agitated manner letting me know something was wrong. I found Hettie collapsed and crying in the greenhouse.
Somehow I managed to get Hettie in a cat carrier without distressing her and rushed her to the vet. Hettie was 18years old and sadly her time had come, she lay on Pavs pink blanket and allowed me to hold and stroke her while she slipped away. I feel so honoured to have shared this beautiful brave girls life who was loved by so many of us from a distance.
OH No , Teresa. I am so so sorry i missed this .
Beautiful Hettie :'( :'( :'(
RIP Sweet girl. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope these will bring a few much needed smiles to everyone :hug:
-
:evillaugh: They certainly did - how on earth did you get them all to gaze so adoringly at you, all at once - altogether? :wow: Wunnerful. :Luv:
-
what fantastic photos :Luv2:
-
I love they way they all look so surprised! :evillaugh: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
The little one at the back looks "proper pugnacious!" - a right little radgie-gadgie as we say in these parts. :evillaugh:
-
Awww what wonderful pictures :hug: :hug:
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: No need to wrap them, I'll just pop them in my bag ;D
-
Was food involved? ;) They remind me a little bit of these guys from Toy Story..... :rofl:
-
Oh wow, that piccy of them all together is just gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
OMG cuteness overload!!! Georgeous! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Hope you're ok T :hug: :hug:

What great pictures!
I'm so sorry to hear about Hettie T. :hug:
-
Been a very hectic couple of days nursing sick kitten, realised I have only been to bed once in over a week but as long as cats are ok it will be worth it.
Will do proper update tomorrow but thought it was time I let you know the dwarfs names :rofl:
Pin Cushion
Fussypussy
TigerLily
Betty Bumtious
Florrie flanket
Gertie Gannet
BigBoy who will probably become fluffybanana a Leaky
All I will say is that names are very apt :rofl:
-
Aww the kittens are so cute - just adorable :Luv:
I was wondering if they are a special type like a pedigree or cross or something as their faces look sort of flatter than our kittens. Sorry if I am naieve but I'm new here!

The kittens are just very young moggies and their faces arent flat at all, probably trick of the camera.
-
Those names are terrific! :)
-
Loving the names! :evillaugh:
-
Great names!! :wow:
-
Hope all is well with the kittens and with you T. :hug: Love the names, especially Bettybumptious. ;D
-
Loving the names! :evillaugh:

Just popping by to administer hugs and to ask how all are doing at the Inn today? :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I went over to Paws Inn yesterday to update Teresa on Christopher :Luv: and James's :Luv2: progress - it's hard to believe it's already been three months.
Bearing in mind I don't really do kittens, the cuteness of the dwarfs is even greater in the fur than in their photos. Plus they took a big step forward in their education when, having refused to stop digging up their paper tray liner, they were switched to litter. Much excitement, digging, poops and pees.
The remaining muckspots, who were tinies when I first went to meet Christopher and James, and Annabel's kittens, who had only just been born, now seem huuuge in comparison.
:)
-
Aw, what a lovely update Frances. I'm long over due a Paws visit myself too!
Hope James and Christopher are well. Did you stick with those names or change them?
Some of you may remember that my last Paws baby was Bumty (who I initally renamed 'Scotch' but quickly became 'Bear' instead), well it was the little mans 'snip snip' day yesterday but is bouncing round all over the place today as if nothing ever happened bless him.
Will try and get some new pics of my 4 little sooty faces soon :)
S.
-
It's great to catch up on how former Paws Inn occupants are doing in their new homes. :)
Teresa - sending warm snoozles to you today from me and Paddy :cat rub:
-
Lucky you Frances! ;D Did you forget to take your camera though? :evillaugh:
Glad Bumfty Bear's op went OK :)
-
Im glad to get an update. I was a bit worried that T had gone quiet but then she has her hands (and house and garden!) full
love

Morning Teresa
Sending little snoozes and hugs to all at the Inn this morning. Am feeling very honoured, as I had a little snuggle of my own from Paddy this morning, which is always a treat. :) :hug: :hug:
-
Loving the 7 dwarfs names...much better than the originals :D
Hope all is well at the Inn :) Little Paws Inn is doing good down south :)
-
How's everyone at the Inn Teresa? Can't help but worry when we don't hear from you in a while :hug:
-
Just sending my love too all at Paws Inn too - hope all's well T.
x
-
Was wondering too. Hope things are running smoothly at the Inn, Teresa.
-
Teresa's chest is giving her "some jip" at the moment, but the little uns are doing well, and all are fed, watered, cuddled and cleaned at the Inn as per usual.
-
:hug: for T. Hope you are feeling better soon hun.
Love to all at the Inn.
-
Teresa hope you feel better soon. :hug: :hug:
-
Get better soon, Teresa. It's always nice to read Paws Inn updates you write. :)
-
Best wishes to you T and all your little furries! Hope you're feeling better soon. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Get better soon T - we needs our Paws Inn fix!! ;)
-
Hope you feel better soon T,
Love from Sarah, Scamp, Scratchy, Scrumpberry and Bear x
-
Sending you love T.
Si, Effie and Ella x
-
Sending a big hug :hug:

Hope you are feeling better soon Teresa :hug:

Wishing you all the best Teresa, hope you're feeling much brighter soon x

I spent a lovely day at the Inn yesterday and yes, I did remember my camera and even put a memory stick in it this time. ;D Trouble is , I was too busy cuddling to take many pics. :innocent: I can report that Teresa’s chest is indeed giving her ‘some jip’. Hospital was threatened but she insisted she had to stay home to look after the dwarfs and on seeing them the respiratory team who were assessing her agreed. So, nurse and physiotherapist come regularly to rough her up (literally – ouch) to try to clear things and she is staying positive and doing a wonderful job looking after not just the dwarfs but all the other inmates too.
And the cats……………
Re-homing has been slow, as evidenced by the fact that 10 kittens are now old enough for spay/neuter and are being ‘done’ this week – another bumper vet bill. Kentucky ( :Luv: I want , I want) and Flora, the 2 remaining muckspots will then go to their forever home along with Grace. Fingers crossed that it works out for her after the last disappointment when her prospective slave failed to show. It will be a big upheaval for her what with the move and getting used to the muckspots and the 2 resident dogs. The couple are very experienced cat people though so they’ll take it slowly.
Sol and Serena, Sophie’s 2 short-haired tabbies will also go to their forever home after the vet visit. They too were ‘homed’ previously but the new parents changed their minds after a couple of days and swapped them for 2 of Lucy’s so fingers crossed it works out this time.
Sophie has been homed and the really good new is that Sunshine, Lucy’s lovely CH kitten has been rehomed with her sister Summer so that’s all of Lucy’s brood gone. Lucy herself is still waiting bless her – I was tempted to pop her in my bag she’s such a friendly little soul and only a kitten herself. :Luv2:
That leaves Annabel and her 3 ballerinas and 3 of Sophie’s litter, plus Chelsea and her 3 kittens who need special homes. Then there’s the long timers and the ferals…. it never ends.
And now the bit you've been waiting for ............................. the dwarfs
What can I say? They are utterly, scrumptiously, gorgeous and :wow: so grown up – unrecognisable from the scrawny little waifs T took in less than 4 weeks ago. Sadly, the little grey boy Pin Cushion didn’t make it, :'( (he got his name as a result ofinjections on his numerous vet visits) but the others are thriving and a tribute to her dedication. I don’t normally ‘do’ very young kittens but I’m seriously in love with all of them. :) They used the litter tray from an early age and they even eat cleanly too – apparently they have never needed a bath (contrast with the muckspots :rofl:). Don’t know whether you can tell from my lousy pics (they move too fast for me :doh:) but most have ‘ghost’ stripes which are getting more prominent, especially Big Boy c-ock-a-leakie Niagara.
-
and more...........
-
and a last one for good measure
-
great photos!
-
lovely kitties
glad to hear Sunshine is with her sister in their new home
do you have any info/update on Dinky -all I know is he /she ? is CH and blue ? I don't want to bother Teresa while she is so unwell
-
Thanks for the photos and updates. I hope T is feeling better very soon
love
Tab
-
Tagalong, as far as I know Dinky's CH is no better but no worse than it was, although because she is caged its not so easy to assess. Perhaps the vet will have something to add when she goes in for spay this week with her litter mates and the other kittens.
Sorry, I don't have a photo but if you go back on this thread to mid august (around page 23 I think) you will find one of Chelsea's kittens when they were very young. There may be later ones but I'm not sure. She is grey with some white and I think its more of a browny grey than a bluey grey, but definitely grey. Some people think she is ugly but I don't.
-
thanks -tbh I don't know anything about how affected she is Teresa was beginning to tell me about her when she wasn't feeling so good so I don't want to be a pain :-[
she had told me more about Sunsnhine but nothing about Dinky except she was about 5 months old -will go look at the post -thanks :thanks:
-
Lovely photos... :)
Sorry to hear Pin Cushion didn't make it. :( RIP Little One.
-

found her as a baby and on page 12 -how could anyone call her ugly :( she's a sweetheart .
Eye wise she doesn't look typical CH but it is more noticeable in some .
Is she quite small for her age ?
-
Would just like to say that anyone thinking Dinky is ugly needs a serious eye check :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
She's beautiful :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
totally agree - :Luv2:
think she is an attractive colour too almost chocolatey -yum :Luv2:
-
Thanks for the update and photos CarolM. I'm sooo pleased that Grace has found a new home, being rather partial to beautiful black cats myself, and that so many of the kittens have bagged a human.
The dwarfs seem to have doubled in size from when I saw them only two weeks ago!
:)
-
Carol lovely pictures and update thank you so much,think I will have to employ you as official photographer.
Frances the dwarfs have indeed doubled in size, they are simply wonderful and enjoy getting up to all sorts of mischief.
Had picture of Sunshine and Summer in their new home sent me this morning so thought I would share.
7 Kittens neutered today , all ok and happy to be home; another 3 in tomorrow including Dinky who in truth has been described as not being a pretty cat but what difference does it make as long as someone loves her, we are all different and its whats on the inside that counts and believe me inside Dinky is a very sweet loving little girl.I do find it sad that the thread has turned into a what Dinky looks like ,Tagalong I will tell you all about her when I am a little stronger.
Pincushion died on 16th January, Andy vet believes he had an intersusseption, not even a miracle could have saved him.
Just to clarify something, during the past 23 years over 5000 cats/kittens have passed through Paws Inn, each one has received top quality care and will continue to do so.
-
what a lovely photo so glad they are together.
sorry I didn't mean to turn it into a 'what does Dinky look like'-just couldn't find a pic :-[-and was a bit confused which sex Dinky was -hadn't read the old posts back far enough.
Alll your babies look very cared for to me and sorry to hear about the baby -intersusseption is horrible -RIP little one.
-
What a lovely picture of Summer and Sunshine. :Luv2: Thanks for sharing. It must be so rewarding when you see them settled and happy like that and know that without your help it would be a very different story indeed.
-
Tagalong you didnt turn it, you are interested in Dinky and her condition :hug:
Carol you know me so big headed I`m unbelievable :rofl: :rofl: Guess I`m just a very proud meowmy.
-
meant to say glad all went well at vets today and hope all goes smoothly tomorrow too -I know it's a worry with any op on any cat but I know the added risks with CH cats.
-
:thanks: for the lovely updates Carol and good to see you back Teresa :hug:
No need for any further discusssion, I'll take big boy :naughty:
-
oOooo look at all the piccies! Every single one of them is adorable. Dinky too. (Sorry Teresa to mention it again, but she is :Luv:)
5000 opportunities for perfect love and care and you've met each one head on, T. :hug: :hug: If you are "big-heided" (and I beg to differ) then you've every right to be. ;) Just don't go leavin yer vest off, wummin. :evillaugh:
-
I am off to the Inn on Saturday to have some much needed catch ups with T and some cuddles with the babies, so I will try and remember my Camera :hug: :hug: and try and forget to take a cat basket, Steve has said he is moving out if I get anymore cats.. erm actually, what girls have you got available T ?? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: cats are far less hassle than a husband
-
You be sure to give T a big hug from me xxxxx
-
Hi T,
Just wanted to echo other's views that the pic of Summer and Sunshine is gorgeous and so heartwarming to see them in their new forever home :hug:
Wow T, 5000 inn-mates - that is truely fantastic and you're very much an inspiration. I must come and see you soon - and all of the current inn-mates too of course!
x
-
Just to clarify something, during the past 23 years over 5000 cats/kittens have passed through Paws Inn, each one has received top quality care and will continue to do so.
the 2 that live with me are wonderful, mind you if you had kept Kenny for much longer he wouldnt have fitted in anywhere at the Inn, his bum is now so big it gets stuck in the cat flap ! :rofl: :rofl:
-
OMG Summer and Sunshine are sooooo cute and look so tiny! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Dinky is beautiful! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
5,000! What an awesome number to have helped....and you continue to do so. They all look so healthy and happy. :)
-
his bum is now so big it gets stuck in the cat flap !
:oh noo:
Why hush your mouth sweet child, tis just that the cat flap has shrunk!!! (The very idea, that his bum would be that big...... :innocent:)
-
Lovely to have updates, and photos too. You are an amazing lady to do what you do even though you're chest is giving you 'jip' again. 'Jip is my dads best word for anything that makes him feel rough'.
Have a good day, hope the babes are ok after their ops.
Nicky

Actually Claire I have an extra female since vets phoned to say that todays 3 neuters are all fine and ready for collection, please please can someone get me a magnifying glass and pair of specsavers for Christmas, at 6 months old poor Dodger has become a girl :rofl: :rofl:
Today Serena and Sol now renamed Psche and Eros left for their new home so Sophies 7 are now down to 3. It will seem strange waving farewell to another 3 on Sunday.After reading the plight of poor Kenny and a bum thats too big for a cat flat :rofl: I have decided that when I do future homechecks I must measure all catflaps and bums; it does seem that Paws Inn is turning out some whoppers lately, I can only blame Royal Canin and Whiskas.
Must admit I adored the picture of Summer and Sunshine and had really expected to keep Sunshine here with me but in truth it wouldnt have been practical and I could not have provided the committment she neeeded.
The dwarfs are not really dwarfs anymore and I know I will have to keep checking Daisymacs pockets and bags all the time she is here, Saturday should be great fun, we arranged it last July with fish and chips on the beach, I think not :rofl:
Had a male nurse here with me for over 2 hours today, he was very nice :rofl:
Nicky your dad sounds rather like my late dad, think next male kitty I take in will be called Jip :hug:
Val heres a pic of Dinky taken way back in september, she is more browny grey now.
-
So pleased to hear the ops all went well .
Thanks for pic of Dinky she has changed colour in the other pic !
-
............... at 6 months old poor Dodger has become a girl :rofl: :rofl:
Oh dear :rofl: :rofl: :see: I knew that magnifying glass of my mum's would come in useful one day. ;)
Glad all went well at the vets.
-
OOps poor Dodger :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Glad things are going ok especially for all the furry purry's youve helped over the years. What a number of lucky puds!!!
On the topic of Dinky Im not sure any cat is 'ugly'
love
Tab
-
Oh - hey up - spring's in the air and Aunty T has a glint of mischief in her eye - that male nurse had better watch out! :evillaugh: :hug: :hug:
I love the expression "a bit of jip" - it has a certain "does what it says on the tin" air about it. :) Good name for a kitten. ;D
I knew a cat once who looked like James Cagney. I wouldn't say he was ugly - he was very definitely "different" and had an extremely rogue-ish demeanour, but I preferred to think of him as "characterful" - he was an old trojan, bless him. At rainbow bridge now, and never really "belonged" to anyone, so long as we knew him, but he would happily sleep on our kitchen roof next to the chimney breast, and would come for a head rub when he saw you out.
-
Awww Dinky is just so , well , Dinky!!!! Perfect pocket size me thinks! ;)
Enjoy Claires visit - I would put money on it she doesn't leave empty handed ...................... :shify:
-
Teehee, I bet Dodger will turn out to be a right little tomboy at least.....Scamp (Chico) is here on my knee and says there's nothing wrong these days with being 'gender confused' ;) :rofl:
Dinky is such a cute little muffin pie :Luv:
Love the name Jip by the way - it will make a great kitten name - kinda like a mix between Pip and Jinx.
x
-
Just thought I'd share this pic I've just papped of my two boy cats Scratchy (R) and Bear(L). Scratchy is my only non-Paws baby but he's lovely none the less!
Bear was 'Bumty' whilst he was at the Inn. He was found dumped with two others in a recycling bin on 'bin' day during the first week in September so it's T's and my belief that the kittens were acquired as 'toys' over the long summer holiday and as soon as the kids went back to school the cats were chucked out :( >:( as you can see he is semi long haired and T had to do some careful trimming round his back end when she took him in as there were a few lugs and knots hence his name.
Teresa, you do such amazing work and I can't thank you enough as all of our cats give us so much happiness :hug:
As you can tell from the pic Bear's settled in very well with us and loves his brother very much - so much so they like to play at being Siamese twins :evillaugh:
He gets on equally well with is two sisters who are both Paws Inn expats - recent pics of those two will appear soon!
-
Oooh lovely pic of Bear and Scratchy. Bumty was one of my favourites at the Inn - so friendly (and handsome of course). :Luv2:
-
Well I had a fantastic day at the Inn on Saturday but sadly forgot my camera so cant show you any pics :-[
I met all the inmates, have to say the tiny kittens are adorable, I wish I could have more cats because I would so have a pair of them, they are so friendly and so clean, T has them all eating solids, cleaning themselves and using the litter perfectly, they were given a couple of new toys when I was there and they were great with them, so lovely to see them playing and kicking the what not out of a catnip mouse !
I have to say if Kentucky wasnt already reserved I would have taken him home with me, I have never met such a loving cat, I was nearly in tears when the new lucky owner came to pick him up, omg I SO wanted him, he was huge, but honestly the most lovely natured cat I had ever met, got to stop gushing about him or else I will cry again :'(, but he has a wonderful home along with two other lovely Paws babes and his new human parents were so lovely.
T and Rob were as always amazing, had a lovely lunch, loads of homemade cakes and generally I felt so welcome, I really think I want to live at the Inn, T do you fancy 11 new inmates and a new human lodger ?
-
Plus another human and another pud?
-
Well I had a fantastic day at the Inn on Saturday but sadly forgot my camera so cant show you any pics :-[
oh >:( ;D I was hoping for Dinky pics -never mind you'll have to go back again ;)
-
Dinky is seriously cute !, if I had pictures you would be up at the Inn tomorrow catnapping her, she is a babe x
-
What a lovely pic of Scratchy & Bear :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Glad all is well at the Inn, Daisymac I think you did amazingly well not to come home with another cat - isn't this the first time you've managed it? :naughty:
-
No pictchas! :shify: Hmph. Bet you woz too busy cat cudderlin, and eetin cakes! >:(
Sooooo envious....... :evillaugh: :hug: It's so good to see Paws Inn babies going to their new homes and seeing how totally "at one" they are when they get there. :Luv:
-
For Tagalong.
Sorry no time for updates at present.
-
:Luv2: :thanks: Teresa -Witches indeed ;)(my hubby calls me a witch -mind you at one time I did own a Magpie who was hand reared and unable to fly -a Black oriental and a Toad !!)
they are all looking lovely -hope all recovering from ops well

Claire you do realise I forgot to pay you for the reference :rofl: Also you did turn your nose up at my posh spare room, however the offer is still there if you are prepared to get up at 5am and muck out :rofl:
You did take pics of someone on your phone, and in truth you were too busy cuddling Gertie Gannet each time I looked :rofl:
I have just pm`d Tagalong with the news that she has missed out on Dinky who has been reserved tonight, she is going to live with Pud another CH cat we homed just over a year ago.
Seems all the extra hard work is paying off as Dinky will be the 19th rehoming since January 2011. Last week was chaotic with 10 cats neutered , well in truth they were all kittens from just under 5months to 6months, all recovered very well and more quickly than adults do.
I have actually got 2 empty Pens in isolation now but I intend for it to stay this way as Rob is busy doing maintenance, we have one Pen with badly damaged mesh on doors that need replacing, we have bought paint and 3 new roller blinds as well as new vet bedding to bring everything up bright and cheerful for the cats; Rob has been applying some undercoat today and trying to entertain the cats at the same time, it will be lovely to get the job done as last year we had too many inmates to risk repainting.
Thought I would share this picture of Sunshine and Summer in their new home.Also a couple of other recent pics.
-
Lovely pics as always - I usually get up at about 5 to go to the gym - mucking out spounds more rewarding , can I has the spare room :naughty:
-
Great pics as usual and wonderful news that gorgeous Dinky has a new home with Pud.
-
Lovely pictures Teresa and great that Dinky has been reserved. I still can't get over the fact that she has two sisters - Dodger is so much bigger than either Dinky or Dainty. Good news on the rehoming - I hope the empty pens stay that way - at least until the decorating is done. :hug:
-
:wow: :wow: :wow: I love coming on and seeing the delishuss piccies!!! :evillaugh: Absolutely brilliant news about Dinky! ;D
19 new homes since January is wonderful news Teresa, and I'm another one who hope those pens stay empty long enough to be spruced up and made shiny new again. :)
Ah yes - nearly forgot - Paddy sez "dun't fergets yer vest Aunty T - iz cowld terday" ;) :hug: :hug:
-
That's great news so glad Dinky has a home with another CH kitty and with someone you know -I 've pm'd you back :)
-
19 rehomings - that's fantastic T. I know how you throughly vet the prospective parents so it goes without saying that those 19 homes will be nothing but the best! I know I only managed to pass the test by the skin of my teeth ;D
Lovely pics as ever - Wilma's a got a very regal air about her hasn't she - you'll have to put a portable telly in the feral's greenhouse for the royal wedding for her to watch. :rofl: She looks so comfy in that bed too.
Also am loving the dwarfs - as cute as buttons the lot of them.
Will be in touch soon for a visit if that's ok T. I'm without a blimmin car at the mo as my breaks have packed in. Apparently they're a vital part of the car too :rofl:
Hope all's well with you

-
Dinky went to live with Pud and his wonderful humans on Friday evening, by Saturday morning I had received email and pictures saying she had taken all of 20 minutes to settle in.Her sister Dainty is showing signs of being just like Dinky since her spay, wobbly walk etc so vet visit soon.
Clare came yesterday and busied herself with the camera so here goes.
-
Star, Sabrina and Stig are the remaining 3 from Sophies 7 kittens.(other 4 homed)
Darcey Tuttle, Fontaine and Pavlova are Annabels 3 remaining kittens. ( Norman Wisdom homed)
-
The question is do I show off the dwarfs :rofl:
-
Yes please, yes please!!! I will go on the lappy specially, just to see all the kitten pics :)
-
Think thats all the kittens.
Got a new arrival coming at 11am will probably get camera out later, pics I took of adult cats for website and catchat last week were terrible so need to do more.
Redecorating of Pens is slow, Rob has finished all the walls but we need to get gloss done and some repair work.
Got someone coming to view kittens tomorrow so fingers crossed again.
Must give an old resident a mention:
Harry as Carol Wendolene knows has been a resident at the Inn for a long time and I have been increasingly worried about his nutrition because he would disappear for a day or two and didnt seem to eat. Harry went missing 12 days ago and I fear he has gone forever especially as Grace spent her last night here furiously digging under her bed. Didnt I mention it Harry is a spider and despite being afraid of them I have protected him for months !
Its still only February and I`ve done my spring cleaning and for the first time ever seem to be ahead of myself with time to notice the beautiful snowdrops, life is good.

Well done getting your spring cleaning done so early, I should get my spring clean done this week but 2 lively moggs are very untidy with their toys. I keep telling them no pocket money until they've tidied their room but they don't listen!!! :rofl:
We've got some pretty snowdrops as well. Thought i'd dug them up when I attempted some gardening, but lucky I didn't. Bluebells survived too I hope.
Spoke to my dad this morning and low and behold he says he has 'jip'. Made me chuckle, but he says I'm heartless madam! Tried to explain why it amused me.
Can't see all the photos, lappy too slow but the ones i can see are beautiful.
-
Oh my word - such a surfeit of fabbie kittie photos!!! :rofl: :rofl: :Luv: :Luv: Thank you soooooo much Teresa. Aren't they all such beautiful babies?! :wow:
Am very sorry to hear that Harry the Spider might not have made it through to spring. :-:
How cute is Stig? :Luv2:
-
I have looked and looked at Newgirls bits and no matter how hard I try I cant make her a boy so the name Jip will have to wait a while longer :rofl: :rofl: Nickynoo Dads are the heros of this world treasure him and his Jip :hug: Need to think of a funny female name now.
Anyway heres some pics I missed earlier
-
Lovely photos indeed! :Luv:
Very sorry to hear of the probable demise of Harry. I hope he's happily catching flies wherever he is now.
-
Some lovely pics. Glad things are going well.
Hope you are well

OK thanks. Meant to tell you that Simon and Sunny have settled wonderfully together in their new home.
-
You had me going for a minute there Teresa – I was racking my brains to try to remember a cat called Harry. :rofl: I’ m sure he’s just stretching his legs now that it’s a bit warmer and seeking out those flies that you don’t have in your house. ;)
Lovely update indeed. :) Glad things are going well but shame about Dainty. :(
DodgerDora eh? ;D Love it.
Sue is right about Stig – he’s gorgeous, I really thought he would have been one of the first of Sophie’s to go.
Nice to see Sabrina looking so relaxed. She always looks very wary (if not downright terrified) when she sees me. I don’t think she’s ever going to forgive me for the indignities I subjected her to when she had a runny botty.
Hard to believe the dwarfs will be ready for homing soon. :shocked: Would you believe that all the pictures are showing for me - except the
ones of Newbie and the lovely Lucy. Looks like I’ll have come over and see them in the flesh. ;D
-
Beautiful pics as always. The dwarves are sooooooooooo cute, seem to be all legs :rofl: All the cats are so pretty tho :Luv2:
My mom and dad's last dog was called Gyp! ;D
Hope Rob manages to get the pens finished soon. Good to hear you sounding well, T :hug: :hug:
-
Harry`s Home :cheer: ,had to interupt a phone call from a good friend when I spotted him on the wrong wall, so he isnt lost in Grace`s tummy after all. :rofl:
-
:phew: what a relief.
I told you he was just out catching flies - he looks bigger to me.
-
:phew: what a relief.
I told you he was just out catching flies - he looks bigger to me.
He looks bigger to me too also a bit darker, please dont let it be a pregnant Harriet .
-
If he is a pregnant Harriet I hope she doesn't go AWOL after giving birth. Handrearing spiders - now there's a thought. :rofl:
-
Eeeeeuuuuurrrrghhhhhh!!!!!!! Horrible thing! :sick:
-
Spiders don't last long in my house, they get chewed up and spat out, I tell the cats 'if you're gonna bring em in, at least swallow the things!!'
I love Bigboycockaleaky, he's very cute.
Teresa My Dad will always be a hero to me, even if he is a pest sometimes.
Nicky
-
lovely kittens especially Stig and Sabrina
-
Im glad harrys ok and even more glad he's with you not me!!
Oddly enough living in a flat the only times Ive had spiders have been in the last year. First when Mogs died and second when Amber was in the cattery so Im guessing she was taught what to do with spidies. She knows what to do with moths..... suck and spit em at my feet :rofl: :rofl:
So many wonderful cuddly babies you have there... If i had a choice I would have annabel but having 1 nortie tortie it wouldnt work but I love her dancing
love
Tab
-
Harry's alive!!! :wow: So pleased. :) "If you want to live and thrive, let a spider run alive....." ;)
The Dwarfs are all "legs" aren't they? Beautiful! Just loving all the piccies. :Luv2:
-
Welcome home Harry!!!
Can I have Darcy Tuttle please?? The alluring look she is giving the camera is totally irresistable!!! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Newgirl certainly knows how to get attention, 4am this morning and a very distinctive yoodeling coming from isolation block, we have decided to call her Heidi.She is a terrified wee thing about 5 months at most,however a lost purr was found on production of a piece of roast beef :rofl:
Milly decided to honour us with her presence last night, well in truth I think it was more a case of her wanting to check on the progress of the Dwarfs,anyway quick pic managed, still so many to get photos of its never ending.
Harry has gone on another adventure and now I know where I refuse to worry about his welfare any longer, unless of course he finds his way to my bed,we have a small hole in ceiling that was used to pipe oxygen to my bedroom.
Harry's alive!!! :wow: So pleased. :) "If you want to live and thrive, let a spider run alive....." ;)
Just love that but so hard to live up to.
Kirst Darcey Tuttle is all yours uness of course she is chosen with Stig this afternoon.
-
She's lovely! :Luv: Loving the photos and updates. :)
-
She's lovely! :Luv: Loving the photos and updates. :)
You would have loved the pics I received of 2 of Pepsis kittens at weekend, sadly I cant begin to resize or do anything with them.
-
I'm sure I would - stunning family, Pepsi and her little ones. I'm still grateful you stepped in to help them. :)
If you want me to have a go at resizing to put them on here I will. :)
-
not sure if this will work
-
Heres the other of Pepsis kittens, sisters and half sisters to 2 of Lil Scruffs
-
If this one works it will be a miracle, but she was an old favourite and this pic was sent recently.
Anastasia
-
Oh shes lovely - what a proper little princess! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
You're right, I do love them! Anastasia is stunning. :)
-
Aw, what a lovely surprise to see Pepsi again :Luv2: Pepsi was mum to my two wasn't she?
I really do lovey your updates and pics T - you manage to take some really great snaps. I LOVE that one of Tigerlilly - you've really captured such a cheeky little look on her face :Luv:
x
-
Well, lots of :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: but then tentatively scrolled down and caught a glimpse of Harry :hairrasin: - if there were cat pictures below it I'll have to miss them out as a split second of seeing Harry was enough to send shivers down my spine and could scroll no longer. Just shows what a truly great person you are Teresa to love all creatures as you do :hug:
-
Have removed pic of Harry as best pics of kittens are way below where he was. I dont love spiders but I loved my late dad who insisted we didnt harm them, he called all spiders Harry or George :rofl:
We have rehomed Lucy this afternoon :cheer: but the home I had lined up for Stig and friend has not materialised, sadly the couple wanted pretty only which did not include Darcey tuttle, so selfishly I decided Stig was best off here.
Lil Scruff the pics are not of Pepsi but 2 of the kittens she gave birth to here, so they are sister and half sister to your two.Claire took the pics not me, I`m useless.
-
Yay for Lucy! :chicken: As for Darcey not being pretty enough - one word - specsavers! :Crazy: Stig is most definitely better off at the Inn :hug:
I feel bad about Harry now :-[ Was pleased to be able to scroll down and see the other little beauties though :Luv2: My spider issues mean that Harry will probably appear in my dreams now so he's not gone for good :scared:
-
Darcey Tuttle is beautiful! And that Stig - well....... :Luv2: :Luv2: Wise decision, T. :hug: :hug:
Good news for Lucy though ;D
Me dad was the same Teresa - I recall when we were young, and there was a mouse loose in the bedroom. We were making a fuss about "what if" during the night (what if it gets in the bed..?). Our dad wasn't daft, and he knew we were inherently fond of all creatures, so he handed my sister a hockey stick, and me a tennis racquet, and told us when it popped its little nose out anywhere, we had to whack it good and hard and kill it. Well, the looks on our faces! We just crumpled, at which point Dad said "quite right...." and explained how if we whacked it and killed it (which he knew full well we wouldn't) somewhere there would be a sad little mouse family, whose baby didn't come home that night. Waaaah! Waaaaah!
:innocent:
-
is Darcey the torti - they want an eye test - I'm indignant on behalf of all torti cats
-
Lil Scruff the pics are not of Pepsi but 2 of the kittens she gave birth to here, so they are sister and half sister to your two.Claire took the pics not me, I`m useless.
Sorry T, just re-read the caption under the pic. Doh! I was so pre-occupied with all the cute pics and failed to read properly :rofl:
They both look so happy playing out in the snow...I kinda feel bad at times that mine are strictly indoor catsbut there's no way I want mine going near to the road. We've plans to make a (rather large) enclosure this summer so they can have a bit of outdoor access.
Can't believe the prospective parents didn't go for DarcyTut but at least I guess you've weeded out some 'below par' owners :evillaugh:
:wooooo: for Lucy though :hug:
x
-
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: for Lucy and :bum: to prospective adopters who see cats as a fashion accessory.
Hope Heidi is settling and didn't wake you in the night with her yodeling.
-
. . . he called all spiders Harry or George :rofl:
All the spiders that sauntered across the room when I was growing up were called Horace. Sometimes his siblings would make an appearance, variously Boris or Norris. Thinking back, I guess there must have been a Doris somewhere :rofl: . . .
:)

Took young Heidi to vets for 1st vaccinations this morning, the whole car journey and time in vets waiting room was spent deep in conversation, Ello, Allo, Ello infact Heidi never shut up until we put her on Andys table and he tried to check her mouth at which point she seemed to superglue a zip across it and did her best impression of being feral :rofl: undeterred Andy gave her a thorough going over aged her same as I did 4-5 months and ruled out all chances of pregnancy, 1st vacc done and she can be spayed in 4 weeks.
While at vets lady said "Teresa ?" I replied "Yes" she said I have Poppy with me, panic set in I have now had more than a couple of Poppys, she told me that yesterday she had Dylan Poppy`s brother in for his booster, now why did she take them in separately - simple- they are giants a little like Daisymacs Kenny :rofl: these cats are now almost 7 years and she adopted them as 10 week old kittens, Paws Inn cats are indeed whoppers :rofl:
Had a good chat to Andy about poor Dainty who definately has some brain damage which Andy agrees has been worsened by her spay, he is going to have to read up and try to find possible things it could be as nothing about her is text book.Her staggering gait is much worse now, she appeared totally normal apart from behaviour before her spay.In the meanwhile she is having vitamin supplements and Kalm Aid and is very busy killing her ready cooked chicken :rofl:
Tomorrow should be a lovely day with Auntys Carol and Debbie coming to cat cuddle and keep me company, things are indeed good.
-
...Heidi never shut up until we put her on Andys table and he tried to check her mouth at which point she seemed to superglue a zip across it and did her best impression of being feral
The resemblance to my former foster Penny is not just just physical then :rofl:
-
how lovely to bump in to a former charge, must really warm your heart
-
Lovely pics -hope Harry is scurrying about happily
Sorry to hear about Dainty-I do know that aneasthesia can make CH type conditions worse sometimes but it does seem a bit odd.
I don't think she has this :-:-but I never knew of it so thought I'd post it anyway -found it while trying to help someone with a cat with mobility problems

Just thought I'd post this pic from a couple of hours ago. I'd been working really hard on my business all day and found these lazy lumps all flat out on the sofa. Thanks to the flash on my phone they really do look like a group of stoned teenagers :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
Poor little Dainty. I'm looking forward to meeting her and giving her a :hug: might I be able to pop in for some cat cuddling one day next week T? Don't worry though - I'm not after another one. Just yet. :rofl:
x
PS if anyone's curious then the text on the cushions reads 'one cat just leads to another'... teehee. The line up, from left to right, is Scamp; Scrumpberry, Scratchy, Bear.
-
Sorry to hear about Dainty Teresa, hopefully it won't affect her too much and you can still find a fab home for her :hug: How lovely to bump into your former residents (well at least one of them), I bet with the amount of cats you've rehomed over the years they're everywhere in Weaverham and beyond!
Just thought I'd post this pic from a couple of hours ago. I'd been working really hard on my business all day and found these lazy lumps all flat out on the sofa.
Love the lazy lumps pic little Scruff - good job you don't have a black sofa!
-
Sending some gentle hugs for Dainty and you Aunty T. :hug: :hug:
Lil Scruff - love the piccies - and the cushions! ;D
-
Lovely pic Lil Scruff, the 2 furthest left are Pepsis kittens from 2 different litters. Will be great to see you next week just let me know when so I am home, got vet appt 9.30 next Thursday.
Going to give dwarfs baking lessons now as last time they fell asleep and ended up covered in sponge mix because I was busy looking at them instead of my electric whisk :rofl:
Dainty is happy enough inherself, she has never been right, always wild despite being born here which vet put down to a brain disorder even her mother beat her up regularly.
Tagalong thank you for the link, I know its not that Andy is convinced it is genetic but what.Time will tell and until then I will continue to have a soft but distant spot for her.
Sue time the Paws Innn mob sent their Unkle Paddyyyyy speeshul hugs :hug:
-
So pleased to see the piccy of Anastasia. :Luv:
-
hello my name is bill I am 6. to night I am staying with gran I have cuddled and have fun with the cats.
I found a cup for carol wendolene to have coffee and a spider was running round inside it, :rofl: Carol let spider go on floor, she was nice and funny :rofl:
I fed the cats I was grans helper I helped her we are happy for you come to gran school and see cats all 8) :wow:
I go to bed now
-
:evillaugh: Sounds like a good time was had by all. :hug: :hug:
Unkel Paddy very much appreciated his speshul hugs and sends a whiskery "pppprfffpt" of pleasure in return. He says he hopes the lil dwarfs "dunt gets baeked inna pie" given they were liberally dusted with sponge mix. ;)
-
I lookeyed at all the piccies when I was on the lappy...love love love :D
T, did you get my message about the ferals I released on the farm ? It was good news, really good :)
-
Morning!!! sending some big squeezy hugs to all of the Paws Inn furbabes to get Friday off on the right note. :cat rub: :cuddle: :cuddle: :cuddle: :cuddle: :catlove2:
Paddy had extra prawns in honour of it being a Friday and was wondering how the baking went...?
-
Steff yes I did get your message about the ferals, so sorry only just realised I havent replied as it was when I was really ill (whats new :rofl:)
Aunty Suepoo kittens slept through cookery lesson yet again and I got carried away and made far too many cakes.
Young Grandson Ted is coming to stay tonight and I have promised he can help me bake in the morning so what I am going to do with all these cakes I dont know :rofl:
Little Heidi the new arrival is still very scared but quite relaxed around Rob who worships her, she reminds me so much of our dear late Buster.
The dwarfs are no longer dwarfs but mad maniac kittens who thoroughly enjoy creating havoc in the kitchen, they are 8 weeks now and have been booked in for 1st vaccs next Thursday.
We had a lovely day with visits from Carol and Debbie and think its fair to say we laughed a lot largely due to an unexpected invasion by grandchildren and a lovely cat cup Bill found for Carol that came complete with its own pet :rofl:
Carol had a wonderful time fussing madam Chelsea who thoroughly enjoyed all the tummy rubs without lashing out :shocked: I will admit to buying a large bottle of Kalm Aid at vets and telling some of the cats it is Vodka, has a wonderful effect :rofl:
Dainty is still staggering but Dodgerdora is becoming much more loving now she doesnt have to pretend to be an alpha male :rofl:
All other cats/kittens doing well apart from Olly who threw up from one end of my stairs to the other after pigging out on kibble.
-
Hope you are ok T
-
I can confirm that Madam Chelsea was indeed on her best behaviour when I visited the Inn. She treated me to lots of her 5 star headbutts and enjoyed her cuddles. I did wonder whether she was just teasing when when rolled over on her back but I tickled her tummy anyway and lived to tell the tale. :rofl:
Little Heidi is lovely and is definitely Daddy's girl. Rob does a very good impersonation of Mr Grumpy but when you see him with the cats and kittens you realise what a big softee he is. (Don't tell him I said that T).
I can't tell one black dwarf from another so I might have to have all four. ;) Only kiddling sadly.
-
Hope you are ok T
I`m doing ok thankyou Simon and cats are all doing well :hug:
This morning I really resorted to slave labour, 4 year old grandson stayed over for first time and I decided to let him help with mucking out, the dwarfs thought the extra ball playing was wonderful; we went to the summerhouse which is divided into 2 giant pens holding 8 large kittens in total, Ted thought litter tray cleaning was not for him and decided to talk to kittens instead :rofl:
Carol as you know I have difficulty telling the blacks apart now their haircuts are growing ; could you not manage 4 blacks and the 2 greys, its not much to ask :rofl: :rofl:
-
I thought you might have been poorly (again T) when I rang :hug: I just wanted you to know that I had rung and received really good news and it was thanks to you spurring me on to ring. If you hadn't, then I probably still would have been worrying (unnecessarily as well),
Glad you had a helping hand from your grandson today :)
-
Get them hooked early eh Teresa :naughty: I buy my nephew cat books/toys etc to try and get the cat gene firmly installed ;)
-

Was very ill when you rang hence me rudely not returning your call sorry :hug: Please dont anyone start worrying regards my health, I really am doing ok, just need to lose abit of weight :rofl: :rofl: and I will probably live to be 200.
Have received beautiful pics of Lucy in her new home, I was moved to tears when I saw them and thought of the sick wee thing that first came to us with her kittens, its so lovely to see such a difference, will post when I can find a way of shrinking them.
On pins waiting to find out if Chelsea has done enough to secure a home, wonderful people, lovely home and Chelsea actually wrapped herself around the mans little finger considering they had come to view Annabel; Chelsea is a very difficult cat but so loving when you have earned her trust, my heart goes out to her.So fingers crossed and watch this space.
-
Chelsea sounds like TT, now that I've gained his trust he is such a fusspot :)
Fingers crossed she worked her charms and these nice people offer her a home :D
-
All fingers , legs and 5 sets of paws crossed her for Chelsea! :Luv:
-
:crossed: for Chelsea!

Going to take a lot of posts to post these one at a time but I cant resize them, thick old boot I am :rofl:
Lucy renamed Sable
-
next one

next

more

Wish I could find one of the old pics of her when she first arrived
-
Beautiful pics as always Auntie T x
-
What a beautiful shiny girl :Luv2: The Paws Inn polish that you so lovingly apply hasn't come off in her new home :)
Love her collar too ;D
-
Wow - stunning pics!! I agree - she looks fab in her new collar. :wow:
-
Thanks Helen, Sue and Simon.
This morning I have had enough of the world and grey kittens,ever since I took the dwarfs on I have been driven mad by people asking for one grey kitten, well this morning its come to a head, non stop phone calls, emails and blind knock on my front door; nowhere is my address advertised; instructions on web clearly state to email full details to us; it also states that these kittens are to go in bonded pairs; to date I have had over 200 people wanting Bigboy and not one wanting his black sisters. Even when little Pin cushion was dying I had a vet nurse trying to reserve him. People just have no idea of what rescue entails. I dont see grey I see 6 kittens with loving eyes who look on me as mum and trust me to do the very best for them; each and everyone is as beautiful as the other. All these calls/emails take time to answer, time which could have been better spent. Rant over.
-
It must be so frustrating for you T
Just shows how shallow people can be :(
-
Oh T that makes me so sad. It doesn't surprise me, people just do not see the beauty in black cats and kittens. I look at Effie and I see a stunning cat but I have been outside with the girls and people will see Ella and state how beautiful she is, whilst Effie is sat there getting no fuss!
I do know one thing, that if anything ever happened to Ella or Effie, my next cat would be black, because having a black cat has made me appreciate their beauty,
-
All of the dwarfs are lovely, it is a shame people cant see that the colour of a cat makes no difference to the personality, Teabag is grey and although a sweet boy the grey fur is a nightmare, it shows up on everything, where as with a black cat.... :rofl:
I would be really tough and only home in pairs, but not the two greys together, one black and one grey !, I wish a pet food company would make an advert showing how beautiful black cats are then maybe the people out there would start to learn !
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
I think I'd be inclined to put reserved against the greys on your website/cat chat pages. That might reduce the calls and hopefully the people who do still enquire will want kittens and not fashion accessories. If they get as far as being invited to view and you approve of them you can say the homes have fallen through. :sneaky:
Lovely pictures of Lucy/Sable. I'm so pleased she's found a wonderful home.
My fingers are still firmly crossed for Chelsea and they're starting to go numb - I hope you hear somethng soon. :wish:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
As someone who has grey cats I feel a bit of a hypocrite (in my defence there were only greys & tabbies to choose from!) BUT, hand on heart, I couldn't care less if they had warts on their noses, one ear and patchy fur - it's their little personalities that make me love them so much :Luv:
I think Carol's idea of a reserved marker against the greys might weed out the shallow humans amongst us :hug:
-
I dont see grey I see 6 kittens with loving eyes who look on me as mum and trust me to do the very best for them; each and everyone is as beautiful as the other.
Quite right. Not one of those kittens is unattractive. And I can categorically state that Jack was one of THE most handsome cats I've ever seen and probably ever will. Black cats are so under-rated. Rant away as much as you want!
(I'm sad to hear the vet nurse was so insensitive. :tired:)
-
Helen a hypocrite, NEVER in a million years, I wouldnt mind if the people wanting them had a Lu/Riley Tiggy type home to offer, think thats half the problem I am just too fussy and overprotective :rofl:
I even had an email yesterday from someone wanting Stig aged over 5months and Bigboycockaleakyniagara age 8weeks, no doubt they would have made a very attractive pair who would have hated each other.
Taken Carols sound advice and marked both greys Reserved.
-
Oooh it doea make me cross - when i offererd to take Jerry and Giz I had never even seen them - all i knew was theere were two little ginger brothers who needed a home. I have black , ginger , red point , lilac point - I think i need a tortie to complete the set :)
-
Good idea to mark as reserved. Hope that works for you, and you don't have to waste any more time. Sure you must have some more baking to do?!
My little Poppy(in avatar) is the lovliest, most affectionate girlie you could wish for, she is very beautiful. God help anyone who doesn't agree. :rofl:
As Daisymac said advertisinf using black cats would be great as we all know the power of advertising.

-
Dainty and Dodgerdoras Pen was covered in bright yellow bile this morning,on closer examination it was clear that Dodgerdora is the culprit as she lay looking very forlorn in her bed. Dainty on the other hand ate her breakfast.
Had a hectic time bagging the girls up for the vet as Dainty is as good as wild down to brain issues and other things, decided whatever one has today the other will likely have tomorrow so both will see Andy. Dainty very kindly lacerated my hand and reduced me to a panting wreck, however both girls are now sat in carriers ready for the journey in fifteen minutes :rofl:
All else seem fine.
-
I hope D and D get on ok at the vets and its nothing sinister, bless them.
Glad everyone else is ok :)
-
Good luck at the vets, Teresa. :)
-
Andy has done a lot of research and says there is a cerebellum problem that is progressive, says it is so rare it doesnt seem to have a name. Dodgerdora has something going on with her brain right now, her eyes have changed and are so wide, poor girl is also having an unpleasant reaction to her internal spay stitches and her tummy is very sore, she may need to be re opened. Both girls been given injections and back tomorrow if need be. Andy has said that there is the tiniest chance that this could be mild panleukopenia or dry FIP the only things we havent yet tested for because the results would not be conclusive.Thankfully these girls have been isolated from Day 1.
Modified to add that their mum Chelsea didnt get the home, husband wanted her wife didnt.
-
I'm so sorry to hear the news Teresa. Do you really mean Dodgerdora or is it Dainty that is having the unpleasant reaction? Either way, I'm sending lots of positive vibes for both girls. :hug: :hug:
I was so hopeful that Chelsea had found her forever home. Ah well, at least she's managed to charm one person (two if you count me)
so she just has to try again - practice makes perfect. :) Did the couple not offer Annabel a home, since it was her they originally wanted to see?
-
Poor D & D, hope they will be OK :hug: :hug:
Aww Chelsea, we all kept everything crossed for you young lady, keep the charm going and you will get a upser home very soon xx
-
Carol it is Dodgerdora having the reaction, thats all 3 with brain problems;if she needs opening up again that will put more stress on her, so sad and such a worry but fortunately I take these things in my stride.
Got the appt at 4 this afternoon to check my cords out will let you know the result.
The people who were taken with Chelsea sent a lovely email saying that they will come back to the Inn at a later date, so all is not lost.
Dwarfs appt for first vaccs has been brought forward to Wednesday.
-
Hope things get better for the poor little tinkers.
good luck capturing the dwarfs! You must have it off to a fine art, I still have to trick my 2 into the carriers, or manhandle them in.
Nicky
-
Good luck with your appointment T, let us know how you get on :hug: :hug:
-
Good luck with your appointment T, let us know how you get on :hug: :hug:
No worries I`ll be fine, especially as its got me out of afternoon feeding and cleaning, poor Debbie has the wonderful task of doing it all :evillaugh:
-
Thinking of you all T and sending lots of love over. :hug: :hug:
-
Best of luck this afternoon T - what some people will do to get ut of mucking out eh................. :innocent: ;)
-
Sorry for the confusion T. I somehow missed the post that you made prior to the vet visit where you describied Dodgerdora's overnight deterioration. :doh: Hope she has improved and doesn't need opening up again and that Dainty hasn't come down with the sickness, whatever it is. Sending them both my love. :Luv2:
I wonder if Chelsea knew they were all poorly and that was why she wasn't a very good mum. Mind you she was fine with Dinky wasn't she and Dinky was the one who showed the most obvious damage.
Hope the appointment went well. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Aunty T - me and Paddy send much love and a "ppprffffpppt" for you and all of your Paws Inn charges. :Luv:
-
Carol, Chelsea always beat poor Dainty up and didnt really like Dodgerdora that much, she began beating Dinky after vaccinations when Dinky developed her problems, its all very strange.No further sickness today,appetites still reduced but am not as worried as yesterday.
Had a busy day today and just finished settling in a new arrival who is obviously pregnant, not thought of a name for her yet but maybe she will produce a Jip :rofl:3 guesses as to what colour she is and what colour her kittens will be :rofl: She looks beautiful against her new pretty pink vet bedding.
Unkle Paddyyyy we just love your speeshul "ppprffffpppt" and we are all hoping that mouf of yours is ralling round and not givin you too much jip ( there he is again, good ole Jip I say ) Take care Paddyy and no wurrying Aunty Suepoo or I might have to send 6 dwarfs round to make youz lauf.
-
Sorry to hear both kitties are poorly -the only thing I can think of that is rare is Lysosomal storage disease and yes I think FIP can produce neurological symptoms too.
I always though the FPV virus went after 6 weeks -not sure if they can reinfect theirselves but thought you got immunity to it .
I really hope it isn't anything like these and both make a speedy recovery :hug:
-
Just been having a quick catch up with this thread as been working like a crazy lady the last few days. Very sorry to hear Dodgerdora's not too well.
I too can never get my head round this 'anything but black' policy some people have. Mind you, I'm an 'any colour as long as it's black' kinda person so I guess I'm a bit biased. I think here on this site we all agree that all cats are beautiful - even the amputees missing an eye and with half a tail...they are to me at least :hug:
So what's the story behind the new arrival (or have a missed a post)? Any pics?
Love to all at the Inn

Will get some pics of new arrival when I can, she has been stray since Christmas in a really rough area, woman who was feeding her thought it was biscuits making her put weight on, anyway she decided this little cat shouldnt be sleeping outside in a box any longer and called me.
We have already been to vet with her this afternoon, vet says she is due within a week, I told him I wouldnt be suprised if she produced overnight. Vet has been given the task of finding a name for her, he will let me know when I take 6 Dwarfs in for vaccs in morning.
-
So sorry to hear about the poorly kitties. Andy sounds like a wonderful vet, it's lovely that he's so willing to research these things.
Can't wait to know the name of the new girl!
-
I love hearing about your babies human and feline.
For your new arrival how about 'snowdrop'? Its not colour related but my favourite flower fairy poem
Deep sleeps the winter
Cold wet and Grey
Surely all the world is dead
Spring is far away
But wait the world shall waken
It is not dead for lo
The fair maids of february
standing in the snow
I was taught that by my Gran and Grandad and even now years later to be its a sign of new life nd new hope
love
Tab

Aww that's lovely Tab :)
-
Tab that is lovely and I am sure one we can use the name Snowdrop for one of the kittens when they arrive, sadly I have to take whatever name Andy vet comes up with for mum.Anyway this morning she is eating for England.
The Inn seems a brighter happier place today with Dodgerdora diving into her food before climbing ontop of the scratching post to enjoy tummy tickles, her eyes are still wide but not as bad and her spay wound though still aggravated seems less so. Dainty is her usual aloof self but eating well.
Heidi who we rushed to vet yesterday afternoon with a high temperature is thankfully back to normal, Andy felt she was fighting the vaccine and I am inclined to agree, she too has eaten a hearty breakfast.
Poor Stig came to me this morning and said "Oi look ere, you didnt groom me yesterday and I got this dirty spot on mez pants "so job done he allowed me lots of tummy tickles even though his 5 pals were all trying to get in on the act.
We are off to vets in about 20 minutes with the dwarfs for their first vaccinations, doesnt seem 2 minutes since I took them on; I am so proud of them.
I have more slave labour today, Jack age 3 is staying overnight this time, hope he is good at mucking out :evillaugh:, this is all Daisymacs fault of course because we made the spare room up for her visit and then she couldnt wait to run away :rofl: :rofl:
Guess I better do some more cake baking.
-
Glad its a brighter day at the Inn, so pleased the dwarfs are coming on so well :) :)
Dodgedora is the most brilliant name lol, I love that you come up with such original names for all your charges ;D
-
So pleased things are brighter today at The Inn - pity we can't say that about the weather. Looking forward to hearing new girl's name and seeing pics. I'm assuming she is Korky-coloured and you will have yet more kittens to make you wish you'd been to Specsavers. ;D
Hope the dawrfs have been well-behaved at the vets. :Luv2:
You really do like work don't you - I hope Jack enjoys his stay. When do Tom and Tim get their turn? :)
-
Andy has named new arrival Lark, poor man has come up with names for entire litter who are all evidently female :rofl: he has thought so much about names he has forgotten about male species, Basically the names he came up with for kittens were all names after rival vet practices nearby, Willows, Holly, Abbey etc :rofl: since our vet is ARK vets best he could do come up with is Lark. His plans are already scuppered because we will use Snowdrop and Jip.
All dwarfs passed fit and well and given first vaccs; Fussypussy fainted not once but twice bless her.Also got Andy to resex them all, nothing has change still 1 boy and 5 girls :rofl:
Carol think Tom and Tim will have to grow some :rofl: Lark is indeed Korky coloured, its so weird she is in Lucy`s Pen and looks so much like Lucy although older.
Clare pleased you like the name Dodgerdora it was hurriedly changed when Dodger went in for castrate and was found to be female :rofl:
-
I think Andy should stick to the day job. :rofl: I've no objection to his names for kittens but Lark makes me think of a joke. :-: Or perhaps its because I'm not a morning person that the name doesn't appeal. :evillaugh:
Call me stoopid but I didn't realise that cats could faint. :shocked: Poor old Fussypussy - I hope she's OK now. Give her a big :cuddle: from me.
-
Pleased that you have had a better day today. Have fun with your little helper.
I like the name Lark, I thought of a bird first not a joke.
I love the name Snowdrop and the poem was lovely.
There must be a Jip due along with all the girls Andy vet is expecting.
Nicky
-
Glad everyone survived the vet visit ok!!!
Clare pleased you like the name Dodgerdora it was hurriedly changed when Dodger went in for castrate and was found to be female :rofl:
Love it :rofl: :rofl:
-
How strange I posted a reply last night and its gone, perhaps the fairies have been :rofl:
Carol I have seen many a kitten faint, funniest was when vet was here and vet nurse saw it and thought kitten was dead, we couldnt stop laughing at her, in reality vet nurses are rarely present for first vaccs so a faint is fairly new to them. Fussypussy along with her siblings seems fine today, all eating well and wondering why they got chicken yesterday and not today, I so need to find them homes now otherwise they will have to be evicted from the big brother kitchen :rofl:
Lark looks as if she has swallowed a huge rugby ball, she sort of waddles across her Pen to make sure she gets every morsel of food offered, yesterday was funny she preferred cat food to chicken, she has obviously survived on scraps. I am determined she will have a Jip. I must confess I love her chosen name.
Since Monica and Hettie`s deaths Wilma and Milly seem to have bonded well with both feeding in the greenhouse and often sharing a bed, this could be due to the increasing presence of Darth Vader who seems to have taken control of the upstairs floor of Barneys Bunker, really will have to trap him , he needs neutering and de matt badly, have left him this long as he was so ill before vet would have insisted bloods and pts, at least he now look healthy just very scruffy.
We are currently very carefully assessing our ferals and may release some of them to live freely along with Wilma and Milly and sleep and feed in the greenhouse, sad in a way as I would love to grow tomato and cucumber again :rofl:
All other cats happy and like the humans enjoying life :)
-
You don't want veg in the greenhouse lol, much more suited to growing toasty cosy ferals :naughty: :evillaugh:
I never knew cats could faint either :rofl:
-
Me neither - and yummy tho cucumbers and tomoatoes are they don't purr and leg rub so ferals much much better :sneaky:
-
Me neither - and yummy tho cucumbers and tomoatoes are they don't purr and leg rub so ferals much much better :sneaky:
Who says ferals purr and leg rub :evillaugh:
-
I bet yours Purr at dinner time................. OK leg rub may a bit of wishfull thinking............. :evillaugh:
-
Kirst you have reminded me of the time I did a load of feral trappings, neutered and returned them took5 feral kittens in and was given donation of
1 courgette:rofl: remember that
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I hope you like courgettes - I would have pushed for a marrow at the very least!
-
Kirst you have reminded me of the time I did a load of feral trappings, neutered and returned them took5 feral kittens in and was given donation of

That's a bit ungreatful - What was the marrow with that? :naughty:
-
T, my ferals purr and leg rub...now :)
-
T, my ferals purr and leg rub...now :)
There not living in my greenhouse :rofl: Well Done Steff
-
So, what's wrong with calling your greenhouse occupants Tomato and Cucumber? :evillaugh: I've often thought if I was going to come back as a plant I'd quite likk to be a tomato plant, with little hairy green leaves, and grow nice little fat juicy flavoursome tomatoes. :wow: You might not be able to eat yours, but I bet they'll be totally delishuss in their own ways. :Luv:
I confess am another who didn't know cats could faint, bless them. :evillaugh: Forgive the laughter - tis directed more at me than any fainting kittie. :hug: :hug:
-
Do you all realise how bad this laughter is for my poorly lungs :rofl:it leaves me gasping for breath, not to mention the extra wrinkles :rofl: Sue hairy green leaves would look splendid with your hair colour :hug:
Well at least we have enlightened people on cat faints this week :rofl: you never know it may just save someone having a heart attack :rofl:
Pics of the enormous Lark, not very good as I need Specsavers just be thankful the cats on the pic is what I say :rofl: also managed to catch Olly and Tula in the act of doing what they do best. :rofl:
Got lovely pic of Aunty Carol Wendolene taken by Bill age 6, let me know if you want me to post it Carol.
All inmates and humans happy and well
-
Lark is ridiculously handsome! Love the other two lounging on their bed too. ;)
(I'll admit, I didn't know cats could faint either. But it makes sense; I suppose most animals can.)
-
When I scolled down I thought you had cat napped my Noodle, but even he is not quite that tubby :rofl:
-
I went into the kitchen to make myself a coffee just before 11, its the dwarfs fault they needed another cake making lesson :rofl: the smells that are coming from the kitchen are magical, I am so hungry but the cooked ones are too hot and the oven is full with lots more waiting to go in. What are the dwarfs doing Sleeping :rofl:
Still not had coffee.
When I scolled down I thought you had cat napped my Noodle, but even he is not quite that tubby :rofl:
Tula has an excuse she suffers from a rare ailment (Love of food ) :rofl:
Lark also has an excuse shes been a flusey and has kittenbuns in oven :rofl:
-
Ooo cakes ;D Hey T they won't be too hot after sent in post to me! ;D :sneaky:
I think i have something in common with darlin Tula! :evillaugh:
Love to you all :hug: :hug:
-
Tried to get a drink an hour ago and naughty Olly shot out the door while I was checking on Lark; still not had a drink .
Searched for Olly without success, so got camera out as I was walking round and managed to capture the normally elusive Grasshopper.
Also got Ginja Ninja and Noodles enjoying the spring air.
-
Then I spotted this black Tomato for Suepoo :rofl:
Then I realised I was being watched by some of the nosier kittens :rofl:
Best go and have another look for Olly.
-
Lovely pics, hope Olly comes home, the naughty boy !
Like Tan said, I also suffer from the same problem as Tula :rofl:
-
Ooooh what a lot of lovely pics. I especially like the nosy kittens :Luv2: and the gingers look so relaxed. Lark looks like my kinda gal but thern yupu know my weakness for blacks. I hope she's not going to be an Annabel and keep you waiting around for those kittens. I bet she's waiting for 1st March.
Got lovely pic of Aunty Carol Wendolene taken by Bill age 6, let me know if you want me to post it Carol.
If you think the world is ready for it and I'm not picking my nose or anything equally embarrassing. :rofl:
-
Olly is safely in bed now. While I was looking for him i managed to snap a feral leg rub for Steff :rofl: also pics of Milly.
Finally lovely pic of Carol courtesy of Bill age 6, perhaps i should get him to photograph the cats.
-
Finally lovely pic of Carol courtesy of Bill age 6, perhaps i should get him to photograph the cats.
Probably a good idea because they would all come out looking grey and you know how popular greys are. :rofl: Repeat after me, Carol is not grey, Carol is not grey, Carol is not grey :rofl: Apart from that it is a very good picture - oooh vanity , vanity. :rofl:
-
Could I adopt Carol please!
-
You don't look grey, Carol!
And oops! Poor Lark, I thought she was a boy..... :shy:
Great photos. :)
-
Could I adopt Carol please!
Sorry Simon we know a good thing when we see one and are holding on to her :rofl:
And oops! Poor Lark, I thought she was a boy..... :shy:
Do you need to go to Specsavers , pregnant boy indeed almost as good as the female I took in for castrate :rofl:
Got someone coming to view 2 of my dwarfs early this evening with a view to adoption next week, not really fair everytime I knock something into shape someone comes along and adopts thems :rofl:
-
Possibly.... :shy: To be honest, I was just taken in by the lovely face and rather failed to notice the *ahem* rotundness of the other bit. :shy:
Hope the dwarf meeting goes well today. (That sounds a bit odd, but you know what I mean!)
-
Could I adopt Carol please!
:rofl: I'll expect more than a packet of Whiskas and a few Dreamies and I absolutely refuse to use that clumping litter. :rofl:
Hope tonight's potential adopters are good enough for the dwarfs T. Now I wonder who they will chose................................ ;)
-
Just wondering how did last night's visit went and whether Lark still hanging on to those babies. I need my Paws Inn fix because I wont be getting one for a while.
-
Yay....go Milly :) We can't have Aunty T shown up by a little upstart like me lol *goes off to get feral cuddles pictures :rofl: *
-
Just wondering how did last night's visit went and whether Lark still hanging on to those babies. I need my Paws Inn fix because I wont be getting one for a while.
One thing is certain Bigboycockaleakyniagara wont need sea legs :rofl: not sure which black sister he will take with him later in the week, but the male human loves the name :rofl: and the home will be purrfect.
Lark had me fooled earlier, she was lay in her bed looking really tired and I thought maybe, wnt out to do afternoon feeding and she almost mugged me for her food :rofl: Poor Carol its going to be an awful holiday for you not knowing the how many, the sexes and the black colour :rofl: I am instructed by all the inmates at the Inn to wish you happy holidays and to say "Please comeback soon" :hug:
-
One thing is certain Bigboycockaleakyniagara wont need sea legs :rofl:
Now why am I not surprised. ;D I did wonder whether Gertie gannet might go as well because they seemed quite bonded at one point
didn't they. I expect at least Chelsea, Annabel, Stig and at least one friend to be firmly esconsed in their new homes when I get back. :wish: :crossed:
-
Carol
I have just had a very rare brain wave; Gannets are seabirds. Does it therefore follow that Gertie Gannet would make an excellent seacat :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
I think Gertie would be a perfect Ships cat :Luv2:
-
I think Gertiegannet :Luv2: will have found her forever home before I get back from this holiday never mind the next. But somewhere out there is a ship's cat just waiting to show him/herself when the time is right. ;D
-
Carol - I reckon you like the perfect Ship's Cat's meowmy! :) How's Lark this morning Aunty T?
-
Lark is fine still pregnant but had trashed her Pen, maybe its because she is getting close, maybe she didnt like the milbemax, but piddle and poop everywhere. The name Lark really suits her fine early morning singing :Luv:
Must dash rushing round today and lots to do later.
-
Lark is gorgeous! Brilliant name.
I still have a soft spot for Ginger Ninja. :Luv:
-
Thankfully no new babies yet, had visions of being faced with a Leek, Daffodil and David when we really want a Snowdrop and Jip.
All cats /kittens doing well and Paws Inn is a very happy place.
Unkle Paddyyyyyy sending you some very speeshul :hug: :hug:
-
Leek is quite a sweet name!
-
Oh yes indeedy - I love the thought of a Leek. ;D
Paddy is very glad of his speshul hugs cos he's not too chipper this morning. He had a little sicki, but sez he's "alrite nows, fanks yoo" :cat rub:
-
All cats /kittens doing well and Paws Inn is a very happy place.
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: Sending more love and hugs over to you all at the Inn. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Lark is :wow: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
You have such wonderful names for your babes hun :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Proceedings at the Inn have been brought to an almost standstill this morning with one thing after another not going to plan.
Madam Lark decided to start giving birth just after 5am, the time we normal begin mucking out, needless to say her Pen cannot be cleaned as she is still very busy, last year was the year of big litters am hoping this year will be different but alas ....
Kept trying to use my nebuliser and phone kept ringing and I ended up spilling neb all over laptop and then laptop died for a while or at least until I turned it upside down and banged it hard :rofl: sad but true, afraid I am a no nonsense person.
Right need to go check on all these new babies who I refuse to go to specsavers for ( hint as to colours there :rofl:) also need to start counting :rofl:
-
Hope all is going well with Lark and her kittens. Can't wait to find out what colour they are :evillaugh: . Hope the day improves for you.
-
hope Lark and babes are ok, I'll put my money on black
-
5 in total, 3 all black and 2 black and white is where my money is going :hug: :hug:
Come on Larky you can do it xxx
-
Thanks Dawn and Jiji, Lark seems to have stopped at 5 babies. I will admit to being rather worried, although the babies appear normal size they feel very underweight. Lark is however being a very attentive and protective mum which she wouldnt be if things were very wrong,needless to say I will be watching closely.
I am amazed that there is not a single black amongst them.
Dawn and Claire best hand your money over :rofl:
-
EEEEk!!! Look at all those little tabbies! :wow: :Luv: :Luv2:
well done, Lark! :hug:
-
Aww well done Lark, lovely Tabbies, look like proper mackrel tabbies too :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
well done Lark -little brown tabbies -they look a good size visually -all look about same too -hopefully soon put a bit of weight on :Luv2:
-
Just popping back for another look. They are absolutely delightful little babies! :Luv:
-
What amazing pics! Hope the little monsters put a few grams on quick :hug:
I love that pic with the food bowl - and what I presume is Rob's tentative paw :rofl: - the little tabby tiger leg poking out from mum's care is too cute for words.
Probably for the best that there's no blacks in the bunch else I'd start plotting a catnap :evillaugh: ....although I must say that Lark is a stunner :shy: hope she's doing well after her exhausting day - and hope you're doing well too T!
x
-
Well done Lark, you have beautiful babies.
Hope you've managed to catch up with your usual routine and are feeling better.
IT Consultant, new string to your never ending bow. :rofl:

Forgot one very important piece of news, 4 of the 6 dwarfs are now reserved Bigboy CN and Tigerlily are going together Thurs next week, GertieG and FlorrieF are going on Sunday afternoon, just BettyB and Fussypussy to find humans for then I can have my kitchen back. OK I can dream :rofl:

Gorgeous babies and Lark is stunning! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Good news for 4 of the dwarfs ;D hope it's not long before the other two find a home.

Tab
-
Awww, am so pleased Tigerlily is going with her brother BBCLN :evillaugh: She's a very sweet little girl :Luv:
Well, I have my seat in the front row, got me juice and me popcorn :popcorn: and am now patiently waiting to hear The Announcement of the names. ;D :evillaugh: I can't wait.
Paddy asked me to mention that "alls dem li'l stripetty tails iz liek loads'er lil paddypillers" ;) :evillaugh:
-
Sue cant have you over indulgin with the popcorn :rofl: so
Jip in honour of dads everywhere esp Nickynoos
Snowdrop new life new hope as suggested by Tabs
Larkin from The darling buds of March May
Not sure whether 4th will be Skylark or Mudlark yet depends male/female ( Robs choice)
And finally my choice a forgotten flower
Larks Purr (Larkspur)
-
Pooh - me smilies is not workin! But I did lots of 'nana dancin and cheerleadin and wavin and larfin! :cheer: :narna dance:
Larkspurrs are lovely so that's just the most Ace of names! :wow: whey - I got a smilie back! :wow: Oh - there they are! Sneaky, eh?
Anyways. I think they're fab names. (Darling Buds of March :Luv:)
Just think what I started back then with "giving it jip" :rofl: :rofl: Nickynoo will be feeling so honoured for her Dad. :wow:
Sending big hugs to all at the Inn this morning :grouphug:
-
Great names for the new arrivals :Luv:
-
Well I have sexed the new arrivals, no glasses on and a senile old brain so all I remember is 3 of one and 2 of the other :rofl: thankfully they feel more substantial than yesterday.
The dwarfs have enjoyed yet another baking lesson, chocolate cake, coconut slice, almond slices, fruit slices and cheese scones,remarkably they are more interested in the chicken curry I have been preparing for tea :rofl:
The painting is almost complete and new blinds are up in the isolation block and I am really pleased with it, crisp, clean and bright; we do have another 4 sets of Pen doors to paint still but cant do them yet because we are so full , also new babies mean no paint.
I am supposed to be preparing photos and info leaflets for fundraiser in Pets at Home in couple of week and so far all I have done is think; Claire will not be pleased with me :rofl:
-
I am very touched by the name jip. Will tell dad tomorrow. Great names for them all.
Hope your not overdoing the baking, painting etc. I did some on Monday, flapjacks and coffee walnut muffins. Yum. Pete doesn't like the muffins so I'm wading through them! It'd a chore but someone has to do it.lol
-
Thank you for snowdrop. I so wish I could adopt her but I cant so I'll just think of her as new life and new hope and hope she and siblings get fab forever homes very soon
love
Tab
-
I waved a fond farewell to Florrieflankett and Gertiegannet this afternoon,it doesnt seem 2 minutes since I left that hospital bed to bottlefeed them, Bigboy and Tigerlily are off on Thursday so need to find somewhere wonderful for BettyB and Fussypussy as well as all the older kittens and adults.
Lark is proving to be a wonderful mother and is such a happy little soul, though her toilet habits are over enthusiastic to say the least, she loves to dig and dig and dig so we are thinking of giving her a giant litter tray.
All the cats/kittens with outside runs have enjoyed the lovely spring air, roll on summer.
Speeshul Paws :hug: for Unkle Paddy and Aunty Suepoo :hug: :hug:
-
Aw Teresa. One of those bittersweet times for you - seeing your little charges off to new homes makes the time seem like it's flown, even though I know it's what you wish for with each new litter you take into your care. :hug: :hug: Paddy is purring like a tractor at the thought of his speeshul :hug: He's had "shtaek" for brekfuss this morning and is getting ready for a little snooze.
Wasn't the weekend weather lovely/ So pelased the Outside Run Gangs were able to take full advantage. Paddy supervised the planting of some of his fayvritt violas and had a little nap in the sun while I worked around him. :evillaugh:
Good on Lark for being such a grand little Mum. Not surprising when she has such wunneful lil babies! ;D
-
As its raining I couldn't resist logging on to see how Lark is doing. Gorgeous babies. Glad there are pics cos this is costing me 50p per minute. :Crazy: Love the names.
-
Just spoken to Rob, Teresa collapsed today and has been taken to hospital by ambulance, I will keep you updated if I hear any news :hug:
-
Glad Paws is staying open.
I`ve alway`s had a weakness for black`s cat`s.
But there all beautiful.

I will try and call Rob tonight to see if there is any update and let you know :hug: :hug:
-
What a lovely suprise to see lots of people have contributed to the Paws Inn thread :hug: but your supposed to be reading about the cats not the old boot :rofl:
I am indeed very poorly but will survive,just dont know if I will ever be able to look helper Debbie in the face again, but for her being there on Monday I may not have made it temp over 40 and total collapse, poor woman even helped make me presentable for paramedic as I was not a pretty sight and smelt even worse :rofl:
One of the new inhalers they gave me 2 weeks ago has colonised and caused massive infection, so breathing very difficult, specialist told me not to worry it will be about 3 days of hell then I will start to feel better, also on treatment for horrendous mouth and throat ulcers this inhaler has caused and having IV antibiotics so lovely bruised arms again.In my own little side room again so all well apart from missing cats.
Bigboy and Tigerlily are off tomorrow evening, Rob brought paperwork in for me to complete this afternoon,am heartbroken that I wont see them again but the home is wonderful.
I am told that Larks kittens are thriving and gorgeous and all other cats/kittens doing fine.
Think thats about it except to say thank goodness for laptops and friends.
Rob is going to try and take some pics to bring in for me.
-
Phew! Good to hear from you, Teresa.
And great that Larks kittens are doing well. Good luck to Bigboy and Tigerlily too. :)
-
Go glad to hear you're on the mend T....I've been thinking about calling Rob today to see if there was anything I could do to help but was worried I'd be making a nuisance of myself - if I can do anything to help ie (if you need a pair of helping human paws at Paws or if I can do any shopping or anything like that) then send me a PM. :hug:
x
-
Lovely to hear from you Teresa, take care :hug:
-

Glad you're on the mend and hope Rob can bring you photos of the cats to cheer you up
-
Yay, you have your laptop, I told Rob to bring it to you on Monday but he said he would have to wait until you were on a ward. I have just called him and there was no answer so hopefully he is out busy feeding all the fluffs.
So glad you are OK, was really worried :hug: :hug: :hug:
PS. dont do anything like that when I am visiting, I dont do panic or smells very well :rofl: :rofl:
-
Great to know you're recovering! Keep it up! :hug: :hug:

Just thought I'd post a pic which I snapped of the two Paws sisters earlier on today. I'd posted one of the two boys a few weeks back and have being meaning to post an update of the sisters since. Scrumpberry (was Blackberry) is on the left and Scamp (was Chico) on right.
Both me, my better half, and all the felines here send their love to their Aunty T!

Ooooo Scamp and Scrumpberry are lush :hug: :hug: Just the tonic T needs I am sure

Lovely pics of beautiful cats, Scrumpberry looks so much like her mum Pepsi, Chico is gorgeous. As for Kenny he looks nothing like his mum Lily and I am beginning to wonder if his dad was a pyrennes mountain dog :rofl: Why does JOR always look so innocent :Luv:
No visit from Rob today as he had to be home to hand over Bigboy and Tigerlily, so no cat news :(
Sitting waiting for yet another canular to be put in, failed attempts earlier mean doctors job with possible use of foot again :sick:
Had emails with updates and pics from Olive and Kiev 2 of Bonnys that I handreared, they look wonderful and are doing well so really quite a cheering day.
-
Good to see you online Teresa :hug: Hope you can make good your escape ASAP :hug:
As for King Kenny, Pyrenees mountain dog sounds about right :evillaugh: JOR is definitely a Mummy's boy, both absolutely gorgeous boys :Luv2: :Luv2:
If that wasn't enough we're spoiled with another pair of Paws Inn beauties - gorgeous girls snuggled up in their bed :Luv: :Luv:

Glad you like the pics all! Daisymac - didn't mean to 'tread on the paws' so to speak and take away anything from your boys by the way! I'm sure you didn't think that though - just me being paranoid!

The wonderful ClaireR thankfully sprung me from jail this afternoon, she has even done all the afternoon feeding and arranged a kitten viewing for tomorrow afternoon when Debbie will be here to help, I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends.
Thought I ought to pretend to be doing some work so sat on stool with camera in hand snapping my contribution to these beautiful black cats, trouble is only 1 is black :rofl:
-
And a couple more.
Resexed babies 2 definate boys and 3 girls, the darker mackerel tabbies are the boys and Jip has white rear boots whereas Larkin has solid tabby boots. The 3 girls are all ticked tabbies and much lighter, Snowdrop has opened her eyes this very afternoon,she has a tiny white tip to her tail.
Just love the pics of Lark tending her babies
-
Glad you have escaped and hope you are feeling better soon :hug:
Lark looks as though she is a great mum to all those lovely tabbies :Luv:

Ps. A couple of kitties wanted to have a word.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/ickle_cutie_pie/IMAG0026.jpg)
Akamaru is ready to have a serious word with you if you don't take it easy!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/ickle_cutie_pie/IMAG0034.jpg)
Tachi is demonstrating exactly how the relaxing should be done.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/ickle_cutie_pie/IMAG0027.jpg)
Vader is demonstrating an alternative method (sorry the flash went a bit particular).
-
Teresa, glad you have escaped. The kittens are just adorable :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:welcome: home Teresa, I bet Lark and her babies are a tonic :)
Another gorgeous Paws Inn trio :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Akamaru and be subjected to a 'serious word' - he does look very serious indeed! :scared: Three beautiful boys :Luv2:
-
Tachi and Vader and Akarmaru with such a purrfect eye is the icing on the cake, bewarned ClaireR is still in love with him.
I have done nothing but lay down today, feeling terrible they should have kept me in hospital. Scared to eat/drink because I cant manage stairs.
Good news Debbie did the 2pm viewing and 2 older kittens Darcy Tuttle and Pavlova have been reserved to go next saturday.
-
:welcome: home hunnie, now you make sure you take it easy :hug: :hug:
-
Glad to hear you're home , but sorry you is so poorly you is confined to the sofa!!!!

Plenty of room on that chair so we thought you could tootle up here and adopt the Stig, he would look so pretty besides Stevie :evillaugh:
I have put clothes on today and intend doing some work, its the only way to beat this stupid thing.
Daisymac please give the mountain dog some cuddles and if you ever bring him to visit attach a barrel of brandy round his neck, hugs to JOR

and here is Mummy's boy JOR pulling down the kick boards in the kitchen AGAIN !, and then laughing at me when I tell him off :rofl: :rofl:

Just noticed how big his ears have got, can I suggest you stop pegging him on line to dry :rofl: :rofl: :hug:

Daisymac, too cute :rofl: :rofl:

Teresa , you are a wicked wicked woman - I would have the Stig in a flash if I could but we are up to our limit here atm sadly :((we have a few fighting and territory problems)
Rest assured when we are up for a new furbaby you will be the first port of call! ;)
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Swooonnn - more JOR piccies and more Kenny pics! :evillaugh: Dunno about Aunty T - but they're doing me the power of good too. ;)
I thought Stevie blends in beautifully with the soft furnishings - very tasteful, while Stig bless him has the most adorable suggestion of a Hercule Poirot moustache :wow:
-
Pleased to hear you've been "sprung." ;) Also LOVING the pictures of Lark and her babies - and everyones fur families. This is such a nice thread. :)
-
Awww Stig is gorgeous, T! :Luv2: :Luv2: Hope working does the trick! :hug:
Fab pics of JOR, Claire! :Luv2:

Blimey - I turn my back for a few days and you're off to that hospital again Aunty T. Hope you're on the mend. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Oops - for some reason the posts didn't all display or maybe its the jetlag but now I see you're home T. Thank goodness for that. :hug:

So many lovely puds on this thread!
I only joined this forum about a year ago and I confess to not knowing the stories behind Akamaru and JOR (know all about the lovely Kenny though! :Luv:) so will have to read some old threads and have a catch up!
Yep, Stig is gorgeous isn't he :Luv2: I'm seeing T tomorrow and looking forward to meeting him as well as all the other inn-mates inc Lark and her bambinos!

Ali just realised his grey splodges have gone, I won the bet Claire :evillaugh:
Sarah heres the original thread http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,27314.400.html with pics, will look forward to showing kittys off tomorrow.
-
Errrr....I don't think so - the black splodge was further back on his head ;)
Akamaru.......................I love you!
Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
Akamaru didn't want you arguing so he partly grew out of them so please you both. They are still there a tiny bit, but they are very faint.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/ickle_cutie_pie/100_2381.jpg)
You have no idea how long it took me to get that rubbish photo.
There is also one of him and Vader, just to prove that they are best friends now.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/ickle_cutie_pie/100_2361.jpg)
Looking back at those early pictures, it hard to believe that he is the same cat, especially given the size of him now.
Claire, he told me to tell you the he luvs you too.
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: So, how long did it take Ali? :hug: :hug:
What a lovely smiley face he has in the photo of him with Vader :Luv2:
-
Hi Ali
Thanks so much for the photo - they both look amazing!
I think I might have to admit that Teresa was right as it looks like he will be all white soon! Oh well - it was worth standing my ground for a while!
Hugs to Tachi, Vader and Mr Maru!
Cxx
-
Well they are still there for the moment, so you never know!
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: So, how long did it take Ali? :hug: :hug:
Too long!

Just realised I have forgotten to tell people that the Paws Inn team (or at least the best of it) will be in Pets at Home in Northwich from 10 am till 3pm tomorrow. The idea is to spread the good word and hopefully gather some much needed food donations so if you are able please pop along and give ClaireR, Debbie and Sarah(Lil scruff) a hard time :evillaugh: seriously they have banned me from going cant think why ;) cept to say Good Luck ladies I know you will do much better without me.
Claire has made a completely new information leaflet, only seen it via email, much better than I could ever do, hopefully she will post it.
Yesterday Lil Scruff earned her Blue Peter badge, gave her a bin lots of photos and fablon and she did a very pretty cat bin for people to drop food in with try and get some pics.
As for Debbie poor lady has done a lot of cleaning this week.
Talking of Debbie she told me that paramedic was amazed with my drawers, said I had the tidiest drawers he had ever seen :rofl: they did have my permission to be in them :rofl:
Darcy Tuttle and Pavlova off to new home together tomorrow.
-
err...tidy drawers??? :-[ Exactly what are we talking about here :rofl:
Hope the collection goes well and all the Inn-mates are thriving. :hug:
-
err...tidy drawers??? :-[ Exactly what are we talking about here :rofl:
Carol trust you, because I had collapsed so badly I lost all my clothes to put it politely, Debbie and paramedic needed to find knickers and pyjamas and both were so impressed with my tidiness. Thing is should I own up to having had a sort out a couple of weeks before :evillaugh:
Should also have given Tula (former feral) and Ollie a mention for entertaining paramedic on my bed :rofl:
-
good luck at PAH T's gang!

Hope the "sorry" case is now at Paws Inn getting the best of treatment and hoping that all is well need some moire picces of the ferals and ginger ninja's

sorry to hear this T :hug: :hug: hope its not another cupboard cat situation, they still haunt me
Dawn have you got a fly on my wall, cupboard is exactly what they are. We have given the poor cat a new name Lily. Lily and her daughter born last May lived together with huge overweight dog, Lilys daughter has litter of kittens just over 4 weeks, Lily gave birth on Thursday and became very aggressive now we know she was protecting her newborns but the owner locked her in a cupboard to protect her kids and the other kittens. Lily went ballistic and trashed the cupboard, owner padded cupboard with cardboard and left kittens on newspaper, Lily gave birth to a 5th kitten who we believe froze to death, owner told us she killed it, no way Lily loves her babies. We got her out and settled her at the Inn on Friday night.
Saturday morning she had not eaten or used tray and was just motionless so off to vets, vet emptied her bladder manually gave her injections of antibiotics, metacam and vitamins, Julie managed to spoon feed small amount of ad into her. She is riddled with fleas but vet not happy for us to attempt to treat before Mon/Tues. One of kittens was not doing well and I had gut feeling he wasnt going to make it.
When Claire and Debbie got back from Pets at Home Claire came to me and said she could see clear mucus on him, somehow I guessed cleft palette and Claire brought him into house for me to check, he had no roof of mouth whatsoever, so out of hours call out for pts , I called him Michael.
This morning Lily is a little more settled and has eaten her dry food overnight, her 3 surviving kittens seem to be feeding well.
Lily is just 2 years old,incredibly she had her 2nd litter just before Christmas and now she has litter NO. 3, she`ll not be having anymore. Someone is bound to ask what colour, Lily is longhaired black and all her babies are black.
Pets at Home not sure of exact figures but think ladies raised £34 and collected 10 boxes of sachets and some collars and dog treats??? Big thanks to Claire, Debbie and Sarah.
-
I am lost for words :'(
Just so glad they are with you now T
-
poor, poor Lily I'm glad she is safe now - are they keeping the daughter?
-
poor, poor Lily I'm glad she is safe now - are they keeping the daughter?
Sadly yes, I tried so hard for her and her kittens but she told me she had homes lined up for the kittens, did my best with a polite neutering speel, sadly couldnt do more. My guess is she is a BSB.
-
How incredibly sad, poor, poor babies :'( :'( I was going to ask about Lily's daughter too........ People like these don't deserve ANY animals >:(
Hope you're ok T :hug:
-
That poor wee cat :'( so glad that Lily and her kittens are safe with you now. So sorry you were not able to get the daughter and her kittens :(
-
What an awful situation, glad they are safe now at the Inn :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
How awfully, awfully sad. At least it's 'onwards and upwards' for Lily and her three now.
Fingers crossed the Scumbag ex-owner took at least some of your advice on board :hug:
-
What a terrible thing to have to deal with. at least Lily and her babies are safe now. :'(
-
Poor babies :( Thank heavens they are safe at Paws Inn now :hug:
I know it's better than nothing but can't believe only £34 was raised from the Pets at Home 'stall' - I know it's the credit crunch and everything but if the majority of people had just given 50p or a £1 then a decent amount could have been raised. Must be so disheartening for the Paws Inn helpers who gave up their time to do it :hug:
-
Poor cats/kittens and poor you T. Sending strength giving vibes to you all. :hug: :hug:
-
Thought I`d share these with you , Debbie took them this afternoon.
First lot Lark and her 5 babies just over 2weeks old
-
Now for an update on Lily, delighted to say she has eaten all wet and all dry food and is so much brighter and relaxed, she obviously feels safe with us.
Hoping Aunty Carol will help me with flea treatment tomorrow.
-
She is a lovely girl T, what a gentle face
-
Teresa, poor Lily :'( I approve of the name you chose for her by the way :Luv2: I'm so glad to hear she's settling down now.
Thanks for the new pics of Lark and her babies. I just adore tabbies :Luv: :Luv:
-
Blimey T, when you announced that Lark had had tabbies I thought they would be easier to tell apart than blacks but it still loooks like a Specsavers job to me. They are gorgeous :Luv2: - can't wait to see them.
Glad Lily is feeling better. I hope I'm more help with flea treatment than I was with bottle-feeding. :rofl:
-
I love Lily - that lovely auburn hue to her cot , and that trusting little face...................... :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
what a poor girl x i'm glad she's with you T x
-
Lovely pictures of mum's and kittens :Luv: Happy to hear Lily is eating now and she seems settled.
-
Beautiful mums and babies :Luv2: :Luv2: So pleased Lily is happy now-amazing what some TLC does :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: All down to you T :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I'm at a loss for words, that doesn't happen often!
Some people are just not worthy of any pets.
Lilly is gorgeous, poor little girl, she's looks content now she is with you. Hope all goes well for her and her babies.
Lark and her kittens are gorgeous. I would come and catnap her and a babe but too far away and OH would tell me off.

Aw, thanks for your kind words Tiggy's Mum - I guess it could have been more but personally speaking I didn't find it too disheartening - at least there was plenty of time for me, Claire and Debbie to have a good natter :evillaugh:
Although we were collecting money in a bucket I think the store preferred us to try and get food (as it's more money through the tills) so we weren't rattling the tin at evey possible moment which prehaps we should. Also, a lot of people there were buying large sacks of dry food which obvioulsy would be impractical for them to split. Some people who'd adopted Paws babies in the past came up to us for a chat and were telling us how their charges were getting on which was lovely and made it all seem worth it :hug:
Also with regard to the donations, remember it was Comic Relief on Friday and there's also been a lot of appeals on the TV for help with the Japanese disaster so I guess a lot of people are spent up at the mo charity wise.
What fantastic pics you've got there T! Lark's five are ludicrously cute and should be on the front of a box of chocolates lol. Lilly and her three - WOW :Luv2: you know full well my love for the blackies. So glad that she's feeling brighter today and she looks to be a fantastic mum cat. Hope to meet her soon :)
-
Sorry sorry to hear Lily's sorry. The poor mite. So glad she found her way into your care though. Please give her a stroke from me.
-
Two beautiful little families :Luv2:
Lil_Scruff - good point about the Tsunami/Comic relief, you're much more forgiving than me! :hug: Did you get many enquiries about cats for rehoming?
-
Oh Teresa. Poorl Lily. What a dreadful thing to have done to her. She's beautiful. And she looks very protective of her remaining babies (who have dark shadow striping in some of the piccies :Luv:) Am so pleased you were able to take her. Poor little lady. Very sad that they've insisted on keeping her daughter. :(
And look at lark's little cuties! :wow: :Luv2: Aren't they the bees knees? ;D
Well done with the fundraising ladies. As you say, difficult time for collecting, with the earthquake and comic relief, but none the less welcomed by Paws Inn regardless. :hug:
-
Two beautiful little families :Luv2:
Agreed. :)
-
morning Teresa. How are Lily and her babies this morning, and of course Lark's beautiful little ocelots? Hoping all is well at the Inn. Sending hugs for you and all :hug: :hug: :hug:

Hope everything is okay with you Teresa and all the furries at the Inn :)

Hope all is well at the Inn :hug: :hug:

Adding my hugs and Paddy's Purrs to the good wishes for our Aunty T :hug: :hug: :cat rub:

Just heard from T. The good news is that the babies are all fine , Lily is much happier, and Stig has been reserved. The bad news is that she is still poorly and if no better by Saturday its hospital again. Please continue to send your best wishes and healing vibes.

Everything crossed you won't end up back in hospital, T. Get well soon :hug: :hug:

Hi everyone,
I am here at the Inn and have been checking emails and there are lots of lovely pictures of some of the gorgeous residents that have recently been rehomed. I thought you might like to see the pictures.....Gertie and TFlorrie, Tigerlily and Bigboy, Kiev and Olive (Kev and Olivia).
Enjoy!
Claire xx
P.S Teresa is not great but is adamant that she won't be going back into hospital whatever I say.
-
And more......
-
Thanks for the pics Claire. Send lots of hugs to Teresa. :Luv:
-
Wonderful to see Gertie doing a credible impression of Shrodinger's cat on the clothes horse :evillaugh:
Hang on in there Aunty T. Much love from me and Paddy :hug: :hug:
-
Aww lovely pics and every one of them a hand-rear who wouldn't be here now but for their human mum T. And look how chunky Olive/Olivia is - you wouldn't believe how much effort went into getting food into her when she was tiny and not expected to survive. :Luv2: I wonder if Kiev/Kev is still giving his famous head massage. :rofl:
Like Sue said, hang on in there Aunty T. :hug: :hug:
-
I go misty eyed seeing them all so settled and obviously adored in their new homes so can only imagine how Paws Inn people must feel :Luv2:
Sending get well vibes your way Teresa, hope you can stay out of hospital :hug:
-
Get well soon T. :hug:
-
Lovely to see more pictures of former Inn cats in their new homes :Luv: .
Hope you are soon on the mend Teresa :hug:

:wooooo: just look at Harvey (Sergeant U-bend). :Luv2: Apparently Teresa has had some recent photos of his litter mates Captain Plugwash and Colonel Leaky sent to her and both are doing well.
I went to the Inn again on Monday and T is still poorly. Her main problem is her throat which is full of ulcers despite quite aggressive treatment. Swallowing is painful and the constant irritation makes her cough which then sets her lungs off into a full blown coughing fit which tires her out. It doesn’t help that she can’t eat properly. I took her some of my homemade soup and she made a valiant attempt at it bless her but I subsequently found out that when it comes to food our tastes are poles apart. :doh: I’ll have to have a rethink on that one.
The cats on the other hand are fine, with the little ones coming on in leaps and bounds. Lily’s babies have now opened their eyes (T came out to check – can’t leave such important things to rooky helpers :evillaugh:) and have been named after flowers. I think its Daisy (her eldest grandson’s choice), Violet and Rosebud but we changed our minds so many times there could equally be a Sweet pea, a Poppy, a Pansy, or a Nigella (think the plant Love-in-a-mist and not the cook ;)) Lily has a lovely nature, enjoys a fuss and being groomed and is very trusting in respect of herself but gets very protective if you approach her babies. :Luv2:
The vet who named Lark before he had even seen her must have been psychic. It’s the perfect name because she sings if you go anywhere near her pen – even if you just walk down the garden path without opening the door of the isolation block. She’s the noisiest cat I’ve ever met :rofl: but very friendly and a good mum. She shuts up when you let her out – well, you don’t actually let her out you just open the door to her pen and she’s off, but she keeps coming back to make sure her babies are OK. :) They are adventuring outside their bed now and T tried them with some solid food but the minute she put it down Lark re-appeared and wolfed it all down. :rofl:
The two remaining dwarfs (BettyB and FussyP) are no longer dwarfs – they seem to get bigger by the day and get up to all sort of mischief given half a chance.
Stig went to his new home at the weekend and Debbie and I did a reshuffle of the pens on Monday so that DodgerDora and Dainty are now in with Sophie’s remaining two (Star and Sabrina) and Annabel’s remaining one (Fonteyn). Dainty was thrilled to bits and ran around (with the occasional wobble), head butting the others who all seemed to take to her. DodgerDora unfortunately showed her bullying side, especially with Star who is a little timid (and I think missing his brother Stig), and Fonteyn did her prima ballerina bit hissing at DD but backed off when confronted. Their pen is at the bottom of the garden and T wasn’t up to going that far so she took our word for it that they will OK together. I hope we were right. :crossed:
Annabel is still as friendly as ever – why wont somebody adopt her? The minute I open her pen, whether I’m sitting, standing or squatting, she manages to sit on me and purr up a storm. She just loves her cuddles and playtime. :Luv2: Chelsea is still behaving and giving her famous five star head buts. Every time I go I so want to bring them home with me, they’ve both been in rescue for over 6 months now. :sigh:
Heidi is the only one who is giving slight cause for concern. She was given her name because she yodelled in the early hours of the morning on her first night at the Inn but she seems to spend all her time hiding (see photo), except at meals time, and is still very timid. She will let you fuss her but I think she just freezes with fear rather than enjoying it poor thing.

..and a couple more of Lark's babies and the indomitable Chelsea

Was it not chicken soup then? :evillaugh:
Sorry to hear that T is still poorly.
Thank you for the update.

-
Was it not chicken soup then? :evillaugh:
I did make chicken soup but it was quite chunky and my liquidiser gave up the ghost so I took the butternut squash and rosemary instead because I thought it would be easier on the throat. :-:
-
i hope T feels better soon x lovely pics :)

Bad news folks. T is worse and is on her way to hospital. :(
Hang in there T - we're all rooting for you. :hug:

I saw T yesterday and she really is very poorly. :( She has her lap top with her but isn’t up to using it and she wasn’t up to reading the Paws Inn thread that I printed out for her either but she’s seen the thickness of it, knows they are all good wishes and said to thank everybody.
I don't live close enough to be able to just pop in and see her regularly so I don't know when I will get any more news but I will update this thread when I do. Her husband doesn't use Internet and is obviously very busy with working, looking after the cats and hospital visiting so communication is quite difficult.

I managed to speak to Rob again tonight and Teresa is no better. She went downhill on Monday/Tuesday and was pretty much out of it but is more alert tonight. The doctors say her lungs are responding to the ABs but not as quickly as they would expect and they think there may be a secondary infection with something in addition to the pseudomonas. They are going to do more tests tomorrow.
She still isn't able to eat and the really bad news is that there has been an outbreak of sickness/diarrhoea on the ward which is the last thing she needs.
She really needs your prayers and positive vibes so please keep them coming. I'm hoping to be able to see her this weekend.
-
Not great news about the outbreak - must be very scary for Teresas relatives.
Hoping there's improvement very soon.

gosh how scary. wishing T a speedy recovery x

I went to see Teresa yesterday and when I walked in she was sitting up in bed eating a cheese toastie that her daughter had brought her. ;D Friday was the first day she managed to keep food down so hopefully she will get stronger now. She did then refuse her tea but having seen (and smelled) it I can’t say that I blame her.
She is still very poorly though. Infection levels in her lungs are high and the coughing takes so much out of her. She will be on IV ABs until at least this coming Friday and she needs 24 hour oxygen.
She says to tell you that she saw the Grim Reaper on Tuesday but she wasn’t really scared and her Tena Lady stayed dry. He asked her if she was coming but she told him she wasn’t ready yet. :phew: This is no joke. :hairrasin: The painkillers gave her hallucinations so they’ve now put her on a different one. Its not as good at controlling the pain but she’s happier with it.
Keep sending the positive vibes – she has a long way to go yet.
-
Thanks for the update Carol. Good to know that T's fighting spirit is still there and that she has made some progress however small. Sending lots more positive vibes from me and purrs and snuzzles from Hobbes and Luna xx

Managed to get hold of Rob last night and he says Teresa is slightly better but still poorly and not really managing to eat. She has been having blood transfusions because of severe anaemia but they had to stop them yesterday because her temperature went sky high.
The cats are all fine and the little ones are not so little any more. Apparently Jip is causing mayhem. :Luv2: :rofl:
Sending lots of positive vibes T :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thank you for the update Carol.
Teresa, get well soon :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thanks as always Carol :hug:
I know the following might sound sanctimonious (and apologies for that!) but as a regular blood donator I am aware that blood donations can drop over bank holiday weekends so I encourage you if possible, especially as T is requiring transfusions, to think about giving it a go over the next couple of weeks if you're able to.
If you've never done it then there's nothing to worry about. And that's coming from someone who hates needles!
Apologies if the above sounds like a lectur :hug:
S.
-
Not a lecture at all but good advice. Sadly I cant give blood due to having ME/CFS which is interesting as the government say its phsycological but they dont want my blood :shocked:
T I hope youre feeling better soon
love
Tab
-
They dont want my blood either, I used to be a regular donor until back in 1994 I had a blood transfusion after the birth of my baby, just in case they accidentally gave me CJD - charming !!
Get well soon T

Good point Lil_Scruff - if anyone is able to give blood then it can be 'for Teresa' :) :hug:

Teresa escaped from hospital last night but don't get too excited. I have been to see her today and even she admits that maybe she should have stayed put. :(
Her lungs are definitely improved but the nausea and sickness are very bad and she hasn't been able to eat anything at all today, and I suspect not for the first time.
She has no oxygen at home and although she is managing she says she misses it. :scared:
The cats are all fine and I will post some photos when I get time.

As promised some pics of the Paws Inn kittens I took on Friday. I will be away for an extended holiday from tomorrow so no further updates I'm afraid. If anyone hears anything please post on here because I will have internet access.
-
Oops - clicked on wrong button. Here are the pics of some of Lark's babies - now 7 weeks old.
-
... and some of Lily and her babies, now 5 weeks old. One is definitely going to be long haired and the jury is out on the other two. They
look black from a distance but close up they are almost tortie. I don't know whether the brown will fade because Lily is a browish black. You can see the colouring best on the one where she is grooming the kitten on my knee.
-
Awwww as always, beautiful Paws furries! :Luv2: :Luv2:
Hope you're feeling a little better T :rofl: :rofl:

Aww beautiful.

Lovely pics!
My long haired 'black' cat, Bear, has the same russety brown hue as the lil fluff ball being groomed by Lily. When you get the sunlight streaming through his fur at certain angles he's almost a ginger!
They are beautiful photos and thanks for posting Carol. Lily is lovely isn't she? She had the sweetest nauture when I met her whilst I was last at the Inn.
Hope you have a fab hol Carol. Are you able to take your furries with you?

Just wanted to let everyone know I spoke with Rob this morning and Teresa is unfortunately still very ill, and remains in hospital. She is having difficulty keeping anything down and is still on an intravenous course of AB's, which they can only give for so long before they have to stop and then re-start.
It's hoped she may be allowed home at the weekend for a couple of days, but will likely then have to go back, as each time they let her home, the infection redoubles its grip and back she goes.
Rob said she's not been up to using the laptop, although he will take it in tonight for her, just in case. Rob's got a lot of things going on at the moment, so hasn't been able to field emails etc, but is keeping up the routine of feeding and cleaning out etc.
I've said that we all send our love.

When you get the strength to read these messages I hope you will see how much we all care for you :hug: Really hope you can get on top of this horrid infection soon and start to feel better :hug:

Hope Teresa feels up to reading messages of support soon.

Well I`m still alive and hoping against hope that an escape plan is in the offing, doctor doing the rounds so I am hopeful. In truth I will never be my old self and have found it very difficult trying to come to terms with things. I miss the cats so very much and of course I have missed all my friends on Purrs;thank you all for your lovely messages.
During one visit Rob made me smile when he told me how Milly the feral bird chaser had met her match, she has always thought bigger the better, well she bit off more than she could chew the day 2 canada geese landed in the garden and Rob was greeted by the sight of her running for her life chased by the geese, I gather she still hasnt learnt her lesson.
Thanks to Carol I have been able to enjoy the pics of kittens who were newborn when I last saw them, huge thanks Carol, hope the holiday is going well.
Had some pics in mind to enter in cat comp but guess I`ve missed it, off to have a peep.
-
glad you are feeling up to posting, take care of yourself T :hug:

So glad to hear you're a bit brighter T - I bet there's going to be stacks of people on Purrs who are thrilled that you've been on :hug:
Fingers crossed the escape plan goes ok!

Sue, are you recommending alcohol as medication....? ;) Glad you're back home, Teresa. :)
oh yes, but it only works if you quaff it in black and white, in a smoke filled pub singing "a Double Diamond works wonders, works wonders, works wonders.....a Double Diamond works wonders so get 'em all in" whilst waving your ale flagon in the air in time to the music..... ;) Now - where's Teresa...? :shify:

Cat News at last..... Vet coming today to give vaccinations to Lark and her kittens and Lily and her kittens, my theyve grown; poor old Ivan the terrible has created a terrible smell in the cat room,seems hes been lying on his bed and piddling so convenia jab ordered for him for starters,for those unfamilar with our Ivan he is a feral who is allergic to most things so we darent even risk taking him the to the vets so its start with antibiotics and hope it does the trick..
I am delighted to say that Wilma and Milly have become best friends and curl up in bed in the greenhouse together, I cant help wondering what Monica and Hettie would make of it :)
Need to start work on finding some homes, we still have 2 of the dwarfs that I bottlefed in January, dear me thats Fontayne, Lily, Lark, Fusseypussy and Florrieflumptious all due for spay, I really have been slacking.
We desperately need to find purrfect homes for lots of adults and kittens, currently we cannot take any cats in .

Morning Teresa. Gentle hugs for you this morning. :hug: :hug: Ah - so Ivan the Terrible is living up to his name..... ;) Hope the AB's do the trick for him.

I have been to see Teresa this morning and I am afraid she is very ill, I have never seen her this ill before and really not sure she is going to be able to bounce back from this one. She has decided she does not want to go back in to hospital as nothing they have done has worked so she wants to be at home with her family. If anyone can give a home to one of Teresa cats that would be a great weight off her mind, as we all know she worries more about the cats than she does herself and just now she needs to be thinking of herself.
Sending Teresa my love and support.
-
I'm really sorry to hear this i hope she does manage to rehome some of the cats as i'm sure that would improve her peace of mind
-
We would take some of the ferals like Ginsger ninja and grashopper if this would help - the more unhomeable ones are welcome here we would need to do a transport run though under very strict cage rules
We are very sorry to hear the news but a prayer and good thoughts are being sent from all of us here at the Clan :hug:
-
So sorry to hear this news. :( Thought and prayers are with you Teresa, a wonderful lady who doesn't deserve this :hug: :hug: :hug:
Hope homes can be found for some of the Paws Inn babies asap :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Very ,very sad to hear this news - sending all my love and best wishes and prayers. :'(
-
Very sorry to hear this news, my thoughts and prayers are with you T. If ever we needed a miracle it's now. Love and purrs to you and your family xxx

Sorry to Teresa is still so ill, hope some of her cats can be rehomed soon. Thinking of you Teresa.

Julie, do you have a list of cats that need rehoming ?, I have tried calling Teresa but I got the answer phone which is not surprising as she is so ill, I am sure that between us all on here we can get homes for a lot of them. Liz at clan cats has offerred to take some already xx
-
Paws Inn website seems to be down but someone has updated a lot of the cats' details on Cat Chat.
-
Paws inn web site is now on - www.pawsinncatrescue.co.uk (http://www.pawsinncatrescue.co.uk) as the domain name ran out and was taken by someone else so i nipped in and brought another one for Paws in and we transferred her site to it.

I know she will be reading posts, she doesnt have the strength to reply but I am sure our thoughts and prayers mean so much to her at this time x

My thoughts are prayers are with Teresa and her family xx

For you Teresa - I know a lot of you are not religious but I hope she gets to see this because it will hopefully comfort her.
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
May He carry you Teresa. You know I will be asking Him to tonight. :hug:
-
that is lovely Kirst - T you are in my prayers :hug:

Teresa, you are in my thoughts and prayers, XXX

That is beautiful Kirst. T we are all with you, you will be in my prayers tonight and I am sending you all my love xx

For you Teresa -
God, grant me the strength of eagle wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on His spirit to carry me there.
You are , as always , in my prayers. :hug:
-
Teresa, I hope you manage to read what Kirst has posted and all our thoughts and that you can take some strength from them.

Ok then :evillaugh:
I know a certain youngling called Jip (see gorgeous pic below) where his new loving home is and my that lad is gonna be a right pampered lad ;D ;D ;D
Hopefully his new mum will join us and let us know how he is settling when she picks him up tomorrow ;D ;D ;D
Hmmm i wonder once she is there that there might be Jip and a sibling going?? Just look at his bro & sisters What do you reckon??
-
I am so saddened to read that Teresa is so poorly, thinking of all at the Inn and sending lots of love and healing vibes xxx
I so wish I had room for more furbabies :'(
Can only echo this :(
Thinking of you Teresa :hug:
-
I just wish i had a bigger house or i would find Roz with her van and bring em all home here! Gosh not sure if i still have me cat napping spandex rubber suit and if i can fit into it :-:
-
where is Jip going??
-
To a lovely lady who has brought loads of toys for him on the shop. Hopefully she will join us and let us know hoe he settles in :)
-
where is Jip going??
Jip is going to live with 3 other former Paws Inn residents, some of you may remember Bella and Pansy who lived on inches of deep faeces when we got them, and the third one is Herbie the tabby who was brought to me late at night after an RTA, his opening action was to diarhoea all over me and my hall carpet vet thought he was brain damaged. Well the wonderful Debbie came here for 2 and left with 3, a glutton for punishment she came back here as a helper and now we would be lost without her; I am delighted that Jip is going to have such a wonderful home and so happy that he is going to keep his name.
-
haven't been by on this site for a couple of weeks - some very scary sounding posts from a few days ago so I'm delighted to see you posting again T.
I would take another sooty face on but T slapped a ban on me having anymore :nawty: however, should the ban be removed then I'm sure I'd be an easy pushover :evillaugh:
Seriously though T if you have made the decision to wind down Paws Inn and good homes are unfortunately thin on the ground then let me know. I'm due a Paws visit so when you're feeling strong enough I'll pop by. x

Just to add if anything is in the harder to home bracket we have the space and the time - as I am already owned by a Sunny Harbour baby and a Paws Inn baby or 2 would join a very elite band here at the Clan ;D
To anyones OH who says no more - just get them away for the weekend - arrange for Paws Inn baby to be gotten during this time then the deed is done and if you get one the same colour takes them a bit of time to notice :shocked:

To anyones OH who says no more - just get them away for the weekend - arrange for Paws Inn baby to be gotten during this time then the deed is done and if you get one the same colour takes them a bit of time to notice :shocked:
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: just wonderful Liz hun ... made I dribble me coffee out larfin :-: :evillaugh:
-
so that's how you ended up with 52 Liz!!!

That did make laugh Liz, Took a while for steve to notice the tabby/torties, swear he still thinks there is only one of them and not three :naughty:

Lovely to you see you posting Teresa,do take care.x

Update from Debs with Jip's adoption and settling in ;D
The introductions didn't go too badly. Herbie, Pansy and Bella were quite good with Jip although I think they are a little bit scared of him. I put him in the cat room and fed him etc and within half an hour he was so giddy playing with all of his toys he didn't know what to do with himself! Bella hissed at him but only because he was playing with one of her favourite toys. Pansy hissed but only when he put his paw through the cage and tapped her, and Herbie spend about 15 minutes trying to hide from him when Jip started to follow him around! Hopefully they will come to love him. He really is such a lovable little thing, very purry and not at all frightened by the others.
-
I am afraid Teresa has been taken back in hospital, they wanted her to go in on Thursday but she wouldn't go but yesterday afternoon she had no choice but to go back in. They wanted to put her back on intravenous antibiotics.
-
Thanks for the update Julie...
Come on Teresa, hopefully the AB's can kick in and you will start to feel better.
Praying for you as always xx
-
Thanks for the update
Am willing those abs to work.

Topping up the prayers
Hope those AB's are doing the trick Teresa xx

I had an email from Debbie another of Teresa's helpers, she spoke to Rob Yesterday. This is what she told me.
Just to let you know I spoke to Rob last night. It seems that Teresa isn't too good. As she feared on Thursday they have been unable to find a vein in her arms to adminster the drugs so they have entered a line through her groin. She had a blood transfusion yesterday and I think he said she was going to have another today.
Sorry its not better news.
-
Julie, thanks for keeping us informed. Bless Teresa.

Thanks for the updates Julie :( :hug:
Always in my thoughts and prayers Teresa :hug:

One thing I know would be a great tonic to T is to find lovely homes for the gorgeous kitties at Paws Inn. There's something to suit most tastes so why not take a look at the website http://www.pawsinncatrescue.co.uk/rehome.php

Loads of hugs to T :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

cuddle cuddle, Teresa. Slipping an arm around your shoulder and hugging you gently. :hug: :hug:

I would love Ginger Ninja and Noodles and Grasshopper that would make 4 gingies and one gorgeous tabby but i know my lads wouldn't like it all in a small indoor/cat proofed garden :( They guard there area very well from all other cats.
T hun sending loads of gentle hugs and love over. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh gosh, how I'd love another sooty face here. We recently had my parents cat, Scruff, staying here for a month whilst my folks were away and now he's gone back I'm definately missing having five furries about!
Teresa placed a ban on me having anymore - I guess aquiring three Paws babies in seven months is a tad greedy!
We've got some builders provisionally booked in for the end of July to assist with the outdoor cat run which has been in the pipeline for ages. OH is unfortunately worried that we might have subsidence which would delay that and would mean a big headache to me and the cats if true!
S.
PS hope you're a bit brighter T :hug: :hug:

Popping in to top up the positive vibes and hoping for some good news.
Thinking of you T

I wish i lived nearer to Teresa (i'm in Chelmsford,Essex) i would pop in to give Teresa a hug :hug: then i'd hug some of those gorgous cats. Thinking of you Teresa.xx

I know that having to close the doors of Paws Inn will be breaking your heart Teresa but please try and think of yourself now and get well and strong - Love you special lady xxx

More News from Jip's new mum .............. ;D
Jip seems to have settled very well, he isn't scared of the others at all.
Herbie and Pansy seem to be coming round but still having a few hissy spitty moments with Bella but I suppose it's still early days. It's a good job the weather is fine so she can go outside to calm down! I think the problem is that he is too giddy and keeps running up to her. I suppose he's a bit unpredictable as far as she's concerned at the moment but I'm sure once he calms down a bit she'll accept him.
-
Hi just an update on Teresa, Debbie went to see her on Tuesday and this is what she told me:
>
> She seemed much brighter than I expected. I must admit that I was a

> they are a bit concerned about her potassium levels so have given her

>
> I think she was hoping that she may be discharged after the weekend so

-
sounds positive - thank goodness, any news on any rehomings?
-
Thanks Julie :) :hug: :hug:
Comon T's blasted infection... Booger ooofff!! So hope ya home at the weekend hun even though you will be comin home a bit more "wholy" than ya were before! :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Debs also has given me a further update on Jip's taking over settling in at his new home:- ;D :evillaugh:
Jip seems to be settling and I think you're right he likes to think he's the boss. Herbie has always been very protective of our bed. He sleeps on it during the night in the winter and when the weather gets warmer he moves to his own sofa bed in the cat room. He won't let Pansy or Bella anywhere near our bed and chases them off it they do.
For some reason he has spent the last week back on our bed - might have something to do with the fact that Jip is in the cat room! Last night I decided to let Jip sleep out of his cage, thinking he might sleep in one of the many cat beds that are scattered around upstairs. Guess where he slept, on our bed having pawed Herbie until he moved off to sleep on the bed box! I wonder how long that will last for before Herbie gets his own back? Bella doesn't seem to be hissing at him as much, only when he torments her, so keeping my fingers crossed that they become best buddies
-
Glad the news is more positive and let's hope they get to the bottom of this blooming infection. Good that they might eventually sort out a care package for her but why does it take so long for people to get things done. I wish I could have a Paws babe, those tabbies are so yummy xx Sending more hugs and purrs to you T and hoping you continue to feel better xxx
-
Was just coming on here to ask if anyone had an update .....so thanks Julie :hug:
Glad you seem a little better Teresa, rest and take all the nasty meds you are given or we will have to send the heavy mod in to hold you down :evillaugh:
Will keep you in my prayers as always x
-
Pleased to hear a more positive update, still praying for you Teresa :hug:
Lovely to hear how Jip is settling in too, the only thing missing is photographic evidence :naughty:
-
Hey Teresa, hope you're continuing to feel more comfortable, and sending extra squishy faberlush Friday hugs to you for snuggling round you. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Teresa sending lots of hugs from where I am. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Lovely to hear a more happy update - kep on fighting honey , and hopefully you will be back home soon. Sounds like Jip is settling in just fine - and is determined to be Top Cat ! :evillaugh:
-
Many many thanks for all your kind wishes :hug: Was discharged again last night, feel much better after blood transfusions but infection still high despite iv antibiotics so I`ll see how long I last at home this time.
Olly greeted me by running out of the front door nearly giving me heart failure fortunately it was raining and he has grown to love his home comforts too much. All cats are well, no decent homes turned up but then thats usual for this time of year when people are getting ready to go on holiday. Julie currently out in Pens doing much needed cat cuddling duties.
Sarah Lil Scruff vet coming on thursday to do second half vaccs so you can choose NO 5 as soon as you like, my guess you will fall for Violet and Buddy and Daisy :rofl:
-
Glad to see you are home under the guding paw of the kitties at the Inn hopefully they can help you not have to go back to your holiday home!!!
Hope you get your care package and get some wonderful homes for the Paws Inn babies - I still have my heart set on any awkward ones but may have to come for a visit with a very large handbag :hug:
-
That's 5,6 and 7..... ;) :rofl:
Good to see you're back home, Teresa.
-
Good to see you are back home Teresa, just wish those abs would work :hug:

good to hear you're home hun x

Paws Inn are holding our summer open day on 6th August 2011 from 1pm tp 5pm and we are opening our doors to supporters for the final time to thank everyone for all their help and contributions over the last 20 years.
It is with great sadness and after much soul searching that we have to announce that we have now closed our doors to new residents and we will fully close once we have found perfect homes for all our remaining guests. We need to continue fundraising to support our current residents until that time.
It is time that Teresa and Rob had a rest from caring for cats and spent some well deserved time to themselves. We thought that an open day would be the perfect way to celebrate all the lives that have been saved by the Inn over the years and give supporters a chance to share their stories (and maybe think about adopting another cat!).
As always, the open day will include a few fundraising treats for attendees. This will include a Paws Inn Visitor Book where the slaves of former Paws Inn residents can pay £1 and have the chance to include a photo of their gorgeous cat and some words about them. This will be a living memory of all the thousands of cats that owe their lives to the Inn. Please don't forget to bring a photo!
A delicious Paws Inn afternoon tea is included in the admission charge.
If you would like to visit then please email pawsinn@aol.com for contact details and directions.
Admission is £5 for adults and £2.50 for children (includes afternoon tea).
We look forward to seeing you or if you can't make it then a donation would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Paws Inn Cat Rescue, Weaverham

Hello Teresa
Hope you're still feeling improved. Sending much love to you and topping up the hugs and the cuddles.
I would love to be able to come to the open day and am investigating methods of travel to see if it will be viable. If I can't make it, rest assured I will be sending my love and praying for a beautiful day of blue skies and sunshine. :)

Cats all fine though finding it a little on the hot side. Vet coming thursday to do second half vaccinations and master Jip will be coming to visit too. Good news is that the convenia injection sorted Ivan the terribles wee problem out, considering his feral background he is a very dear old boy and everyone who meets him falls for him hook line and sinker.
Claire hope something can be done to help your back soon.
Aunty Suepoo that spare room is still available for you and Tess.
Hoping to have a visit from dear aunty Wendolene soon, she has a good effect on homing because every cat she falls for finds a home with someone else.
My stairlift will take up to 3 months and when Rob asked if I would still be alive then the social worker said he could always ring up and cancel if it wasnt needed :rofl: :rofl: put me in my place :rofl: :rofl:

Had a lovely day at the Inn today - :thanks: Teresa ands Debbie. If its true that every cat I fall for finds a home with someone else then you shortly waving goodbye to Chelsea, Annabel, Lily, DodgerDora, Star, Betty Bumptious and ermm............ all of them really. :Luv2:
Helped to get the kittens organised for vet Andy when he arrived to do their second vaccinations and naming no names, but one decided that HE ;) wasn't having any of it and drew blood - lots of it, and not just mine but Andy's as well. :evillaugh: His brother Jip and his sisters were well behaved though. :sneaky:
-
Hmmmm - A fiesty little one, eh? :evillaugh: Teresa, you clearly checked Aunty Carol's pockets when she left, otherwise they'd have been bulging by the sounds of things. :rofl:
-
I love Annabel myself, wish my lot were a bit friendlier!
-
I'm not looking, am terribly broody after seeing a little mitten somewhere the other day.
I will be attending the open day with no bags and no pockets!
Hope you're doing well T and have managed to enjoy a bit of the sunshine this weekend

Wheres our Rock :rofl: :rofl:
Cats are all doing fine and all recovered from last Thursdays vaccinations and wormer. Tomorrow Bettybumtious and Fussypussy are in for spay, so hard to believe they are 6 months already; on Wednesday Lark, Lily and Fontaine are all in for their spays :rofl:, thankfully I have managed to get transport with Rob, Julie and Debbie all helping out. I can drive but am unable to walk to car so am useless.
-
Oh! No You don't! Useful definitely, but never useless! Just a simple typo I am sure! :briggin:
It sounds to me like you have it all very well organised, and well in hand, well done to the helpers too. :)
Sit down and a cat will find your lap, you are never useless, as I said earlier just a typo. :briggin:
-
Never useless Aunty T, you are the knees they will want to sit on and that is good as it makes you stay still ;D
Hope all goes well for all they girls speys will be thinking of them and where has the time gone :shocked:
-
How can you be useless when you have managed to get all that sorted!
-
Hope all the speys went according to plan and all is well at the Inn with both furries and humans. :hug: :hug:
-
I dreamt about you last night Teresa :shy: :-: I visited Paws Inn. It was right by the sea and you were sitting at an oval table in a seaside cottage surrounded by pals having a right laff :). I popped my head around the door and shyly announced "I'm Rosella from Purrs"..............
"Come on in....We're all from Purrs" came back the response :)
Hope all is well. Just glad you are managing to stay out of hospital at the moment. You're input may not be too physical atm but your experience will be proving invaluable as always :hug:
-
Hope all the speys went according to plan and all is well at the Inn with both furries and humans. :hug: :hug:
Well Bettybumtious and Fussypussy were done on Tuesday all went well.
Wednesday Lily, Lark and Fontaine should have been done, however I got a phonecall from vets saying that they had a wrong cat, thanks to Julie and husband Rob poor Sabrina has been shaved and given an anaesthetic before vets saw spay scar and decided to scan the poor girl, thank goodness for the microchip it saved Sabrina from the knife, Lily and Lark have been spayed and are fine.
Today Fontaine the right one has been spayed and is fine.
All cats fine, Olly got me in big trouble the other night when he refused to come in, poor old me sat on Busters bench in back garden calling him, Milly (feral) on my knee and Tula sat besides me, I was stroking both when a little green eyed monster erupted and a cat fight broke out on my knee, where was Olly in the ruddy front garden , he is grounded.
Now Rosella which way to that seaside cottage, I hope its warm and the food is good.
-
Oh no - poor little Sabrina. :hug: I hope she's getting extra treats. You just can't get the staff can you. :evillaugh: She and Fontaine are similar aren't they but if in doubt I look at the tails - there's no mistaking Sabrina and Star's curly ones. :Luv2:
-
Love that dream Rosella :wow:
Teresa, sending big hugs to you and the occupants at the Inn this morning. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Just thought I would post some recent pictures of the cats hope you like them. The first post is of Teddy and Bill I got them from Paws Inn in 2006 when they were kittens, they have grown a bit since then.
Julie
-
This one is for Twinkle and Harvey (Sargent Ubend). I got them both from Paws Inn last year. Again they have both grown but as you can see Harvey quiet a bit.
-
One more of Twinkle as you can't see her face on the others and she is beautiful.
-
Simply stunning, the lot of them! :Luv: I see
Sgt Ubend Harvey is going back to his roots :evillaugh:
-
Anyone notice how Teresa's excellent care results in some enormous cats! :evillaugh: You're a star Teresa.
Lovely to see Sgnt U Bend hasn't giving up plumbing in his new life. :rofl:
-
Lovely pictures Julie, the cats are a credit to your excellent care, still think harvey should have kept the name sargeant U Bend that picture proves he is an excellent plumber :rofl:
Poor Carol Wendolene has spent the day sorting out poop :rofl: first Lily had the trots everywhere and brought up a huge fur ball, so Carol cleaned her and the Pen, then Lilys kitten Violet kept going to the tray and doing nothing; it ended up Carol taking us all to vets this afternoon, Lily had trots and slight temp which could be stress but Violet had high temp and was constipated so Violet had a microlax enema and you`ve guessed her long haired was soon plastered in poop which poor Carol had to attend to with wipes and scissors; Lily has been put in a pen away from her kittens as we think she needs a break.
The cats want to say thank goodness for Aunty Carol cos Aunty T is useless :rofl:
-
Thank you Teresa and you could be right about Harvey's name, its a race in the morning who gets in the bathroom first, he loves putting his head under the tap with the water running. Glad Fountaine is ok. Sorry to hear about Lily and Violet hope they are both ok now.
-
Sorry that should of said Fontaine, I really have got it in for her this week.

Had a lovely day at the Inn on Sunday and T made me a special tea because I will miss the open day on August 6th. Those who can make it will not be disappointed. :drool;
Bettybumtious and Fussypussy have been in their new home for over a week now, as have Snowdrop and Skylark. ;D Lily and her long-haired kitten Violet were re-homed together on the same day and are settling in well although Violet will have a name change because their Gran is called Violet and everybody calls the kitten Gran. :rofl:
Larkin was on his own in a big pen after the rehomings so Lily’s remaining 2 kittens were put in with him but were a bit overwhelmed so out they came and Larkin was put in with the older kittens. He was accepted straight away and is loving it. :Luv2:
We thought Annabel and Lark might share the big pen but introductions so far have been ermmm interesting. :evillaugh: Call it a work in progress but for now they remain segregated.
And now the bit you’ve been waiting for ………………..pictures
-
and more........................
-
If I was closer I would visit with a very large handbag they are all a wonderful credit to Aunty T and the crew at Paws Inn and all look so happy ;D
-
last ones ...........
-
Forgot to say, Larkin is as big as the older kittens despite being 6 months younger than the youngest of them. :Luv2:
The gorgeous DodgerDora here is the only one who dwarfs him.
-

Couldn't agree more Liz :)
Just need forever homes for them all now :crossed:
-
Aw Carol. Those piccies :Luv2: :Luv2: Fab one of DodgerDora - what a splendid face she has. ;D So photogenic. And Larkin - bless him :evillaugh:
So pleased you enjoyed the cat cuddling session, and sending more hugs to Aunty T.
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Oh I so want Larkin, he's just such a beautiful tabby boy - if only sigh....
The others are gorgeous too

If we all took one each then Aunty T could have regular reports and we would all belong to an exclusive club the Paws Inn Slaves as directed by Aunty T ;D
-
Another one drooling over the luscious Larkin here, I can't believe he has not found a home already. Everytime I see a pic of him I have to think of reasons not to attempt a catnapping :shify:
-
All lovely pictures!!!!!! :Luv2:
-
I could really do with some help in identifying the latest Paws Inn arrival, not sure whether he is a pedigree or not; all I know is that I was dragged out of my bed at 11pm last night to deal with him.He is longhaired and his underhalf is matted and he seems to have been stray for 3 weeks. I cant really post him lost until I know the breed so all help appreciated.
-
OOoo Teresa - he's handsome! He does have a pedigree look about him. Stunning. Bet he'll clean up beautifully. :Luv2:
-
He's stunning. Will google long haired breeds later for comparison. (Course someone a bit more "up" on pedigree will probably know. :))
-
Just had a letter to say that Polly a cat I homed in 2002 died last week and for some reason its hit me harder than most. Polly started life as a feral kitten and she and her brother were trapped by me in 2000, both had horrific cat flu and eye problems, I called them Huckleberry and Finlay and they took great pleasure in drawing blood in those early weeks. Huckleberry was blind and got a wonderful home with a Norwegian forest cat who had a huge outside run, he was the most loving. Finley was an adult when we rehomed her partly because of her nervous temprement but being black didnt help either, anyway that was september 2002 and we visited her regularly, she became a very spoilt girl called Polly.
So odd that I have 2 black ferals coming in today !
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I thought you weren't taking any more in hun. please make sure you are looking after yourself.
xxxx
-
He looks a little like a long haired silver tabby, which is odd considering the distinct lack of stripes. Valid point made on the post below though; you make sure you take care of yourself too.
-
Mr Stray is stunning, he could just be a regular moggy - I'm sure Edd has a very similar looking cat who isn't a pedigree - 'just' a beautiful moggy :Luv2: Hope someone is missing him and that they are reunited soon :hug:
Sorry to hear about Polly, very sad but she had 11 wonderful years between Paws Inn and her new owners - the alternative and what would have happened to her if you hadn't trapped her doesn't bare thinking about :hug:
-
How strange, I read a reply from Edd earlier but didnt have time to reply dont know where the post has been "magic`d to but thanks for your help Edd.
-
Sorry Teresa - deleted it as thought it did not add any value in identifying your lovely new resident. :hug: :hug:
Basically I said that people always think my girlie is a pedigree (maine coon type) and she may well be a cross - so just a moggie - long haired silver tabby or DLH silver tabby as the vet refers to her.
What was interesting about your new resident I thought was the shape of his eyes - quite distinctive.
-
Whatever he is, he's a beauty :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
as is DodgerDora :blow kiss: She looks like a puma. Really quite stunning .............
-
Teresa, :hug: :hug: for Polly.
OH MY GOODNESS, just how gorgeous is Larkin :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
And your newest arrival is pretty handsome too.
-
I think you have yourself a Burmilla!

Oh gosh - certainly looks like he could be! Excellent detective work madasacatter :wow:
-
Thanks madasacatter thats him.

Mother cat feral killed on road 2 weeks ago, a rescue I care not to name came and got 3 kittens who were evidently clinging to mums dead body, they were pts, a 4th kitten ran away. That kitten is living in a hedge, I am told it is so thin it will not live long but no one can catch it.
I couldnt say no and I bet you couldnt either. :hug:
-
Aw poor little souls. :(
-
Daisymac Tiffaney was my first thought too. Anyway lovely cat!

Just catching up with news at the Inn...

Spent 4 hours there and didnt see him, had huge tom in trap twice and only place available for us was staff smoking area, can you imagine how awful it was sitting in the midst of 7 people smoking :sick: I have been awake all night worrying myself sick, staff say between 6 and 8 weeks old, I am not fit enough to go on my own and so cannot go today so feel a right failure.
Helpers thin on ground this weekend so will try and cancel tomorrows kitten viewing so that I can go tomorrow with Debbie.
All other cats/kittens happy and well.
-
So not a failure Teresa. :hug: :hug: You've tried where others didn't. Please please be careful though. Your own health is so very precious. (Mac's nodding)
-
Sorry you didn't manage to catch the little one Teresa, nothing to do with being a failure though :shy: :hug:
-
So sorry to hear about the feral mum and the kittens :( is this rescue which you care not to name near to me by any chance?
Lovely, lovely pics - lots of pretty and handsome faces on show there!
Hope you're looking after yoursef T!
S.
-
Sarah am not going to name rescue but I think most can guess ,will talk to you when I see you.
Debbie and I going to try and get this little one first thing in the morning, so everything crossed.
-
Blimey - I've only been gone a coulpe of days and look what you're getting up to when my back is turned. :hug: Good luck tomorrow and please don't sit in the smoke-filled room.
Your posh puss is :Luv2:
-
Sending much love to you Teresa, and hoping today you get your prize. :hug:
-
Heres hoping today is the day. Take good care of yourself - much as I worry about you ,I get that there is no way on earth you would turn your back on a cat that really needed you , and thats what makes you so special. :hug: :hug:
-
Sending good trapping vibes for Aunty T and this wee one
Aunty T do not sit in a smoke filled room not good for you :hug:

Good luck Teresa, please take care :hug:
-
Really busy at minute but just wanted to let you know that this little one is safe with us, I need a good cry.

So glad you still have the trapping talent and have this little one safe at Paws Inn :hug:
Now please sit down, have a cup of tea and a good cry and come back when you are feeling stronger sending some Clan purrs and woofs for their favourite Aunty T :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Amazing Aunty T, well done you!!
Have a good cry and a cuppa and a hug with some of those gorgeoys furbabes of yours. We can wait for piccies. Just have a little rest :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Glad she is safe with you - now have a good cry and give yourself a huge pat on the back. :hug: :hug:
-
Well we have applied Stronghold and settled kitten into a Pen, dont think I have ever seen so many fleas :rofl: Kitten is terrified beyond belief and has a good hiss and leap up with all 4 legs movement if you attempt to get near so have not sexed yet but think a female , think 8 weeks ish but could be older.
Currently lying in litter tray after I put my hand in bed side to try and touch, so leaving to chill out now.
I will sleep tonight and I guess poor Debbie will she been scrubbing for last couple of hours :rofl:
-
I'm so pleased you got her but hope that will be an end to your trapping expeditions please! :hug: Fingers crossed she will learn to trust people :care:
-
oh t well done on getting her now take care of yourself
-
Oh T you are a star and so is Debbie. :hug: :hug: :hug: That kitten is beautiful and it breaks my heart to think that 3 more like that were pts. I so hope that she learns to trust.
-
Well done on the trapping, gorgeous kitten, and fleas too aren't you lucky!! :)
Take special care of yourself tonight, and have a rest.
Nicky
-
Our hero again xxx
NOW REST!!!
-
Our hero again xxx
Indeed not, today has been selfish on my part, I have enjoyed being useful again and I cant begin to tell you what joy I have knowing this little one is safe. I will confess that for weeks on end I have been so ill and so lonely and missed going out and helping our furry felines. I feel as if the old T has come back, I know thats impossible but I can dream, I can fight and I can care. Paws Inn is going to close but I will never refuse a really desperate case.
Just had my bath and lost count of how many fleas were doing breaststroke :rofl: think I`m clean now :rofl: :rofl:
-
T, That is exactly why you are our hero (not the fleas!!)
-
Oh Teresa he/she is beautiful. I'm sure a little TLC is all he/she needs Ithink a She aswell). :Luv2:
I don't know your situation, need to read back a bit I guess, but you deserve a furry medal for this one - WELL DONE! :hug:
-
Oh my what a gorgeous little ball of fluff, he/she is a very special baby as it seems to have given Aunty T a focus and purpose she was perhaps missing all I can say is Aunty T you are a star ;D
Now you have both been defleaed you can rest easy knowing the Paws Inn magic is working and yet another baby is safe with a wonderful future :Luv: :Luv:
-
Well done Aunty T!! :wow: Baby pud is gorgeous. ;D And so are you missus. I think all of us know how much it means to you getting "back in the saddle" :cuddle:
-
Well done Teresa and Debbie, another little one safe at Paws Inn ;D
-
I think kitten must have spent most of the night practising the hissing song :rofl: currently lying on pen floor between bed and litter tray which has been used numerous times. All food eaten and all kitten milk drunk, which is good because she needs fattening up, she is quite longhaired so looks fatter than she really is.
Rob cleaned her out this morning and says she is an attacker :rofl: ferals normally back away but the worse lunge forward, we are certainly going to have to work hard.
Will go out later and take her the lovely scratching post Julie bought for her yesterday and the toys Debbie bought her, didnt give her the post yesterday until we knew she was going to use litter tray.
I slept without worry last night.
-
Have been out and stroked her until she purred yes a deep beautiful Purr, she did try to bite on several occasions but managed to gently take her scruff and look under her tail, she is a little Girlie. When I approached again she hissed and spat and said enough for now, but this little one will come round, I am so happy.
-
So we have another little girl Aunty T and she is purring already ;D Another baby safe under the Paws Inn banner who doesn't like Uncle Robb but is purring up a storm for her rescuer ;D
Again Aunty T and feral magic combined on one place ;D
-
Yay - she is a real cutie and I am sure she will be a proper little purr pot before very long! :Luv2:
-
Oh I'm so impressed - have popped a little something in a Paypal donation for her rehab. x :hug:
-
Teresa, she's absolutely adorable :Luv:
-
Oh I'm so impressed - have popped a little something in a Paypal donation for her rehab. x :hug:
Thankyou have sent you a pm
-
Crikey! Just catching up after a week away and can't believe what you've been up to Teresa!!! Well done you though, and what a lovely little kitten she you have there. Also a very scrummy stray with a fancy breed name. Really glad you're sounding bright and chirpy (even though you have everyone worried about you while you're out crawling under hedges :evillaugh: )
Looking forward to the open day and see you soon x
-
:Luv: :Luv: two gorgeous babes arrived at the Inn to wonderful loving care :Luv: :Luv:
We know they are gonna have a wonderful life from now on ;D ;D
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I`ve had a lovely time calming Baby Bea this morning,we are already at full body strokes and I am allowed to put my fingers to her mouth without being bitten. Rob came into pens and watched me in sheer disbelief as she is a true hisspit, I showed him how to approach her with her tiny toy cat which she loves and soon he was stroking her I think maybe his eyes were leaking :rofl: She is one very special little one.
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: The magic of Aunty T's tender care :hug:
-
Please look after ,yourself Teresa,she looks a little love. :Luv:
-
The T magic strikes again, loving this thread at the moment, the old T is definitely back and kicking, you are never happier are you than when you are caring for cats, I bet by the time Baby Bea leaves the inn for her new home she will be the softest cutest little thing. I dont know how you do it T, but 1000's of cats are glad you do and so are we :hug: :hug:
-
A shameless bump for this, I'm sure a lovely day will be had by all :)
Paws Inn are holding our summer open day on 6th August 2011 from 1pm tp 5pm and we are opening our doors to supporters for the final time to thank everyone for all their help and contributions over the last 20 years.
It is with great sadness and after much soul searching that we have to announce that we have now closed our doors to new residents and we will fully close once we have found perfect homes for all our remaining guests. We need to continue fundraising to support our current residents until that time.
It is time that Teresa and Rob had a rest from caring for cats and spent some well deserved time to themselves. We thought that an open day would be the perfect way to celebrate all the lives that have been saved by the Inn over the years and give supporters a chance to share their stories (and maybe think about adopting another cat!).
As always, the open day will include a few fundraising treats for attendees. This will include a Paws Inn Visitor Book where the slaves of former Paws Inn residents can pay £1 and have the chance to include a photo of their gorgeous cat and some words about them. This will be a living memory of all the thousands of cats that owe their lives to the Inn. Please don't forget to bring a photo!
A delicious Paws Inn afternoon tea is included in the admission charge.
If you would like to visit then please email pawsinn@aol.com for contact details and directions.
Admission is £5 for adults and £2.50 for children (includes afternoon tea).
We look forward to seeing you or if you can't make it then a donation would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Paws Inn Cat Rescue, Weaverham

Thanks for the link Helen, saved me looking all over, I did think I would be able to make the open day, but sadly my back is quite painful at the moment, dont think I would be able to sit down for the whole journey, after my op I will be up and cat napping two beauties for my landlady ;) I have paid the entry fee for me and my Paws Inn Boys, I would love a photo in the Paws Inn book so T if you could let me know how to get these to you that would be great xx
-
Sadly, I won't be able to make this weekend either, but I raided the pockets of Mac's stripey little jim-jams, and a small donation is on its way in our stead. :)
-
Claire simply post photos and any words to us with £1 per entry, you know the address.
Sue Thankyou :hug: might I suggest you buy Mac a piggy so he doesnt need to use his jim jam pockets :rofl: :rofl:
Baby Bea has had a big fuss this morning so much so I have abandoned all my work and am now way behind, if open day isnt done right I will blame Bea :rofl: I cant help it,this little girl has got to me in a big way, she needs to be cuddled but doesnt realise it yet.
-
Teresa, with all the care she's getting I'm sure it won't be long before Bea realises that a cuddle is exactly what she needs :Luv:
-
Baby Bea just gave me her belly to stroke :Luv: I decided she really needed a cuddle and gently lifted her with both hands, I held her to me and there she stayed purring for about 10 seconds before she gently jumped back into her bed , we are well on the way :yayyy:
Think Chelsea is getting jealous :rofl:
-
Well done T - you'll soon have Bea eating out of your hand. :Luv2:
Give Chelsea some head butts from me and OH.
Any more success with rehoming?
-
:wow: :wow: :wow:
-
Morning Teresa. Hoping Baby Bea takes a few more strides towards cuddling today to keep up her brave work of yesterday (and yours :evillaugh:) :hug: :hug:
-
I was innocently sat on the settee looking out of the window this morning while Rob was out in the Pens doing mucking out. I happened to look towards the Pens and there in the window was Rob with Baby Bea lying relaxed on her back showing her belly for all the world to see. Strange how when they are dangerous hisspits everyone steers clear, I guess Baby Bea just needs polish now.
All other cats happy and well and hoping for cuddles and new homes on open day.
-
That's lovely to hear :Luv2:
-
I hope Baby Bea :Luv2: has had another good day with the odd cuddle or two and all is hunkey dorey at the Inn. :hug:
-
Well I guess all will be gearing up at the Inn for tomorrow, and will be in a state of some excitement. Sending lots of "good weather vibes, nice and early, so that they have time to accumulate. :) Hope the newest inmates are both doing well. :Luv2:

O dear its more a case of where do I find the energy to do any work :rofl: :rofl:
Baby Bea enjoyed cuddles from Julie on Wednesday and then yesterday afternoon Aunty Debbie came, Well I thought I would never see either of them again, Baby Bea no longer needs me.
I must do some work and try to get some things ready but this coffee tastes really good :rofl:
-
Spoken like a true general, marshalling the troops before battle. :evillaugh: So pleased that Bea is learning to love being cuddled. :Luv: :hug: :hug:
-
... Baby Bea no longer needs me.
That is a wonderful achievement :hug: and I have a sneaking feeling you are and will remain her numero uno no matter how many other people she shares her cuddles with. You saved her life and believed in her when everyone else gave up on her. :hug:
My fingers are crossed for good weather tomorrow. Sorry I can't be there - I would love to meet Baby Bea.
-
... Baby Bea no longer needs me.
Sorry I can't be there - I would love to meet Baby Bea.
Such a shame as I would be putting her in your handbag :rofl:
Yes I am working hard, now just stopping every 5 minutes to get my breath so may be ready for open day yet :rofl:
Meanwhile I need more Pens and may well be a murder victim when oh finds what I have been doing :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks All :hug: I think the cats enjoyed the added attention with the exception of poor Olly who spent the day in jail in a big outdoor Pen, Olly is used to his freedom but just lately has been escaping to front of house and road so better to jail him than an rta :rofl: Auntie Julie put Olly in Pen for me so I was able to go to him and tell him it was all her fault and I didnt know how to open the door to free him, it worked a treat because he made a huge fuss of me when he was returned to the house :evillaugh:
Have posted some pics on other thread with amount raised 796.70
We didnt have an Open Day homings this year but I had lined up an appointment for 5pm after proceedings were over and as a result we have 2 little ones going to their new home together at 2pm today. Larkin has got a home with Dodgerdora :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
-
Great news that Larkin and Dodgerdora have found homes ;D just a bit sad that I was not able to come to the open day and catnap Larkin myself :evillaugh:
-
Fab news for Larkin and Dodgerdora - well done T. :hug:
-
So pleased for Larkin and Dodgerdora ;D tho I am very jealous too :evillaugh:
-
Wow! Sounds like everyone (except perhaps Olly ;) ) had a wonderful day - and what a fantastic sum to have raised! And Larkin - the lovely Larkin - and the sleek and shadowtastic Dodgerdora both going to a home together :Luv2: ;D You must be soooo pleased T. :) :hug: :hug:

Well its been a busy day, so much so I had to call poor Julie to come and help. 2 cats may have gone out yesterday but 6 came in today. Julie and I applied stronghold and decided we needed to take them all to the vet, Litter No 1is 2
7 week old females, huge wormy bellies, dirty faces and dirty bums.Weight 0.4kg and 0.5 kg. They are filthy but pic doesnt show how much.
Litter No 2 is 4x 8 week old kittens 3 boys and 1 girl all with broken fur where it is regrowing as a result of severe fleas, weight 3 are 0.9kg and 1 is 1kg. Vet had woods lamp on them just incase but balding bits are result of fleas.
Julie moved Chelsea to the big bunker Pen to free an extra pen for 2 female kittens, both litters from different places. Not sure how Chelsea feels about the move she is currently refusing to speak to us :rofl:
Thought I would post some pics to save people the trouble of asking what colour they are :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Aww they all look so cute, :Luv2: never would have guessed the colour of them T, seems you have a natural gravitation to the blacks and black and whites of this world :hug:
-
I could have sworn I read a thread that said Paws Inn had closed it's doors :-: suppose these climbed in through the window then eh Teresa :innocent: :evillaugh: :naughty:
Gorgeous kittenwinks :Luv: :Luv2:
-
That would be the closed doors but somebody forgot the escape in tunnel :rofl:
Gorgeous kittens and somehow Baby Bea must be the leader and advised where the best place in the world is ;D
-
You are so naughty T :evillaugh: but they are lovely :Luv:
That's a fantastic amount raised, brilliant!
-
Just to clarify Paws Inn has tried very hard to close her doors, it just doesn`t work .
Baby Bea continues to thrive and is beautiful, she can now sleep without fear, she knows exactly where her next meal is coming from and when, she loves being stroked and she no longer scratches because of a flea infestation, she has also been wormed and confidently leaves a little food on her dish to be polite :rofl: She will be strong enough for first vaccinations within a week.
So on reflection Baby Beas are what I do best and while there is breath in my body I intend to help those I can.
Todays 6 are all in a sorry state.

Teresa, I firmly believe you reap what you sow, and you, Teresa, are one hell of a farmer. :gold stars:
Every moment of care you invest makes you stronger and more cared about. Feel the force! :you go girl:
-
Awwwww they're beautiful!! :Luv2: :Luv2: I'm sure they'll all soon be well with you looking after them Teresa! :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I could have sworn I read a thread that said Paws Inn had closed it's doors :-: suppose these climbed in through the window then eh Teresa :innocent: :evillaugh: :naughty:
That did make me :evillaugh: Maybe a 'scaling back' rather than a 'closing doors' eh? :hug:
They are gorgeous Teresa, I hope you can find them fab homes :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: Teresa, wummin - you can't deny your nature, can you?! :hug:
Beautiful babies, and heartwarming to hear how much Bea has gained confidence in you. Mac likes to "leave somefor later" too, but he bargains without Tess the hoover dog.... :evillaugh:
-
Aww, all those new babies are adorable :Luv: So glad to hear that Bea is doing so well :Luv2:
Look after yourself Teresa :hug: :hug:
-
I am not going to answer the phone today, I feel like public enemy number one for helping a few little kittens; ok Chelsea had grown rather attached to her small Pen but the madam can just get used to her luxury one with outside run , the 4 big kittens have been sick and made a mess and it took Rob an extra hour to do mucking out , the 2 little girlie kittens seem fine and BabyBea is being groomed for miss world :rofl:
So many names to come up with but I need to get my happy head on first.
Teresa, I firmly believe you reap what you sow, and you, Teresa, are one hell of a farmer. :gold stars:
Every moment of care you invest makes you stronger and more cared about. Feel the force! :you go girl:
Been at a very low ebb overnight and this cheered me up, thank you so much :hug:
Modified to say I have been upset by reactions off forum, not by anyone on Purrs.
-
Come on T, don't let them grind you down. You were in such high spirits on Saturday :hug:
Please can you name a kitten after me...surely the matathon trip I made had earnt the honour...? ;D If you do, please just make sure its definitely a girlie kitten :rofl:
-
The little boy, does he look a bit like ChrisB's Peter, who just passed to the Bridge last night?

Just wanted to send you some :hug: :hug: :hug: T and special purrs from Hobbes and Luna to give you a lift.
Don't let the :censored: get you down, Baby Bea and all the other little ones appreciate you as do your friends here on Purrs.
The world needs more people like you T :hug:
Hobbes says he like to leave some food for politeness too but Luna decides that politeness is vastly overrated and finishes it off for him :rofl:
-
Now Aunty T don't let outside influences change your wonderful mood or the charges in your care
You have stepped in and helped again well above and beyond the call of duty you are a very special lady and all your charges are so very lucky to have found you
So its three cheers for our Aunty T and the Clan can send the ferals to sort out those nasty folks :hug:
-
I purposely avoided "telling you off." Rescue is your calling and you can no more close the doors when you know there are little ones that need help than you can go without food, I think. (Although with everything you have to do I bet that gets put on the back burner sometimes.... ;)) But please make sure you take care of you, as well!
The little ones are adorable. :)
-
T - just seen the latest Paws news now (after sending you a PM!).
You really are an amazing woman and many people, and literally thousands of cats, appreciate your kindness and love :hug:
Hope you're feeling a bit brighter now.
The new arrivals are all stunning whether they're flea ridden or not!
Sx
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: for you T and more :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: for the new kittens.
....and as for Madame Chelsea, how can she not like her new luxury pen. :shocked:
-
Rob just been peeping through the window unknown to all the kittens, they are running about playing like little maniacs in their pens, no wonder they were asleep all afternoon :rofl:. Even Baby Bea is leaping about in her Pen, good job we moved Chelsea she would have been growling and telling them all be quiet and get to sleep :rofl: :rofl:
-
Awwww they know where they are loved and looked after, bless them all! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: and lots of :hug: :hug: :hug: to you T for making it happen! x
-
So pleased the kittens have settled in well and are enjoying themselves ;D
-
Aunty T - Macbeenz has seen your latest additions onna pooter, and he was very impressed. I pointed out tat it wasn't long since he was that little (around 5 weeks in fact) but he just swatted me and danced off. :evillaugh:
Sending you big squeezy Macbeeny hugs :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Here is another Black and White Paws Inn baby :Luv2: Ripley loving his mummy
-
;D Mwah! Swoons over the delishuss adorable Joonyer Offissur Ripley (of whom we can never have enuff!) :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Was feeling really pleased that the kittens had all delighted their uncle Rob this morning by behaving like mad maniacs :rofl: the group of 4 had totally trashed their Pen; the 2 little girls have already mastered the art of climbing their scratching post and looking adoringly at Rob. Something new this morning was a ding, ding, ding, Baby Bea bless her lay on her back gently batting the toy on her scratching post, a great fete considering she was terrified of the post last week, so all things considered progress has been made. Going to wash the 2 filthy little girls tomorrow when Debbie comes to help, may try for more pics too.
I sat down to rest and decided to watch the Purrs save a life video 3 for the second time, can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasnt seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAszxwPEv2E just have tissues to hand; huge thankyou to our wonderful Helen :hug: Anyway I thought I wouldnt cry second time but I spotted Christopher and the floodgates opened, tears of joy because Francis gave him and James such a wonderful home.
Isnt life wonderful.
-
Lovely to hear the Paws Inn magic is working and that baby Bea is now becing a trainee hooligan and finding nosey toys are fun and the others sound totally adoreable to
The video is fab and thanks for the delay in house work by making me watch it again :rofl:
Hope Aunty T is back in her happy plaice again and seeing just what magic she can do :hug:
-
Oh yes please - more pics, but make it quick while I'm still in a good connection area and can see them. :evillaugh:
Glad Baby Bea is progressing and those two girlies look as though they could be her sisters though I know they're not. :(
The litter of 4 are all good lookers too but then I love blacks and black and whites. :Luv2:
I hope you have now been forgiven for taking them in. :hug:
Haven't heard much about Daisy and Buddy recently - have they been homed? Is Madame Chelsea behaving herself now?
-
Carol cant you tell Debbie and I have been talking about you :rofl: :rofl:
Sinbad, Blackbeard, Scallywag and Nauticalbutnice.
-
Then theres Fleabag and Grotbag :rofl:
And a very spoilt BabyBea
-
:naughty: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Just been catching up. Sorry I missed the Open Day. Things have been hectic my end to say the least.
Those kittens are gorgeous!!!!
Speaking of kittens, Akamaru still acts like one:

Thought I'd best show you some photos before I get told off for being away for so long:

Great pics of the gorgeous kittens :Luv2: :Luv: Love the seafarers names as for fleabag and grotbag, well the jury is still out on those :rofl:
-
Oh wow - what fabby pics to start the day!!! Thank you Aunty T :wow:
Loving the names, although not so sure either about Fleabag and Grotbag :evillaugh: I don't think "Kim" and Aggie" would work either. ;) How about Odette and Cecille? Am sure they will grow up to be very clean and tidy and always to polish their shoes and slick their hair down neatly. :Luv:
-
OMG, cuteness overload :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Baby Bea is a little princess :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Ali what fantastic pics and videos, I loved the Jedi 1. Akarmaru`s eye is perfect now and hes grown so much, Vader looks cute with 2 tiny fangs showing and Tachi just splendid.What lucky boys they are.
-
What lovely pics of the new arrivals! Is there some boating connection to the seafarers?
Also been meaning to ask what happened to timid little Heidi whom I met at the Inn when I helped out earlier in the year (think it was when Debbie, Claire and I did the Pets at Home thing)? I'm assuming she was re-homed?
Lovely pics of Darth and Akamaro Alikat! Talk about 'salt n pepper'! ;)
Hope you're taking it easy T!

Seafarers connection is a joke for Carol Wendolene who helps us out when she is not doing nautical things, our way of letting her know we miss her.
Heidi got the most brilliant home and is now a confident girl with her very own cat friend.
-
Yay - another one hapily homed! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Sending lots of these :hug: :hug: :hug: to all at the Inn, be they human or furry.
-
Popping by to say "Hi" to Aunty T and the gang. Sending love and snoozles from me and Mac :hug: :hug: :cat rub:
-
The good news is that Fontaine has been reserved, she will leave us next Saturday to go and live with Binny and Baggy, remember those little loves found in dustbin along with Lil Scruffs Bumpty.
Kittens are all doing well now and Grotbag has started to wash herself more, she has been told she keeps that name until she cleans up her act :rofl:
Seafarers are totally mad and wear you out in no time but very lovable esp little Scallywag.
Baby Bea is a real lady now and her fur is really thickening up and getting longer by the day, hopefully we will be taking her and the 4 seafarers to vet for fist vaccs this week.
They are all missing Aunty Carol and send :hug: :hug: :hug: Also :hug: :hug: to Aunty Suepoo and baby Mac
-
That's brilliant about Fontaine - I wonder when it will be her mum's turn.
Scallywag looks like his name suits him. :Luv2:
-
Julie took me to vets today along with Baby Bea,Scallywag,Nauticalbutnice, Blackbeard and Sinbad, they have all had first vaccinations. Poor Baby Bea was terrified but soon calmed down once we returned home and Julie put her back in her Pen. Julie spent the rest of the day providing playtime and cuddles for all the inmates while I did a very important job, I kept the settee warm :rofl:
That's brilliant about Fontaine - I wonder when it will be her mum's turn.
Me too October is getting worryingly close :rofl: :rofl:
-
I bet the vet nurse had a great time writing those names on the vaccination cards :evillaugh:
-
Very importunt - keepin der setee warm. Paddy told me that, I distinctly remembers. ;) :evillaugh: :hug:
-
Morning! MacBeenz is fizzing by to say "Hi" :wow: Hoping all is well at the Inn and all babies happy and playful. :hug: :hug:
-
Hope everyone at the Inn is well and Fontaine has her bags packed ready for her new home :)
-
It's a small world. Today I was in work talking to someone in another office and we got onto the topic of cats, as you do. She was telling me about a wonderful, dedicated woman who runs a local rescue that she took some cats from. Turns out that they lady I was talking to homed Aurora and Altan (Noor and Roshan siblings). Sadly Altan passed away following an RTA a couple of years ago, but Aurora is still with them and is doing very well indeed. She gets on really well with their other cats and from the picys I saw is just gorgeous!! I'll try and get one to post for you.
Hope all is well at the Inn. :Luv:
-
Ahhh, this news has cheered me right up! ;D Lovely kittens all, but oh, Grotbag and Fleabag :Luv2: :Luv2: if they were grey and white I think we'd know what Doogie had looked like as a kitten :Luv:
-
Fontayne left us for her new home late this morning and we have just taken a reserve on Nauticalbutnice and Sinbad to go tomorrow afternoon. Just as well as we were called out late last night and brought a sorry pair through our doors just before midnight, not that you would know it now they had flea and wormer at midnight ,yes they were terrible, and today they have had the Debbie treatment a full groom and Julie played with them until they were relaxed and happy.
Two more coming in tomorrow morning and hopefully 2 will be going out but it means I am still 2 pens short, really need to think hard and juggle.
-
Gorgeous little kits :Luv: :Luv2: Glad two of the seafarers have found homes, hope the others find homes soon.
-
I'm sooooooooooooo pleased that that things are moving at the Inn - even if there are more coming than going.
The 2 new kittens are gorgeous - I just :Luv2: a black nose on a white face.
-
The 2 new kittens are gorgeous - I just :Luv2: a black nose on a white face.
Look carefully the black is a perfect heart shape :Luv:
Jokingly suggested to the ladies today that we change the name Paws Inn to black/white cat rescue, what do you think :rofl:
-

omg yes! cupid :Luv2:

Well, I've heard abut wearing your heart on your sleeve Teresa, but I never seen anyone wearing their heart on their nose - until now!! ;D What a little cutie. :Luv2: Sound slike things are busienss as usual at the Inn. Sending you a cuddle from me, and lots of Macbeenz snoozles to keep yer strengff up. :hug: :hug: :catlove2:
-
Beautiful little babies T! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
How sweet are those two?! I love the little heart too. :)
-
Aww, little darlings! :Luv: :Luv:
-
Its been a mad few days and I`m worn out.
Fontayne came back on Sunday morning as she preferred bossing at the Inn to the polite Binny and Baggy who ran away :rofl:
We also took Lily and Violet back as introductions hadnt gone well and poor Lily was chased away by existing cat; all was not lost we had a lovely couple round last week and they were undecided and arranged a repeat visit on Sunday, needless to say Lily and Violet were snapped up.
Sinbad and Blackbeard also went to their new home together so technically 3 in but 4 out.
Torchy and Bossy Boots have been reserved to go on Saturday so I have booked vet appt for tomorrow to get their first vaccs done, also hoping that Fleabag and Grotbag will be big enough for their vaccs.
Incidentally its Baby Bea who is providing the kitten homes :rofl:
-
I'm getting confused now. :innocent: Who are Torchy and Bossy Boots - are they the black and whites with bladck noses? And how is Baby Bea providing kitten homes?
I can't keep up and I'm only reading about it. I really don't know how you cope T - you are a star. :hug:
-
Forgot to say well done. ;D
-
Sorry to hear you have had some 'returns', poor Fontaine is she really so scary. Pleased that others have been homed, not surprised that Torchy and Bossy Boots were soon snapped up :)
-
What a shame it didn't work out, they must be so confused poor little things :hug: Glad Lily & Violet weren't waiting too long though and fingers crossed it's the same for Fontayne :hug:
-
Returns are something which only happens once in a blue moon so Sundays were a triple whammy.
Carol Baby Bea has so far been responsible for finding homes for 4 kittens,next time I pm you I will explain how. Torchy and Bossy Boots are the ones you think they are. So many comings and goings I`m confused and I havent quit the country :rofl:
-
Wow, you are so busy at Paws Inn - lovely pics, as ever.
-
Aw Teresa. :hug: C'mon Baby Bea - you're doing a grand job by the sounds of it. ;)
-
glad the rehomings are picking up T, glad Bea is such a good advert for paws inn kitties!
-
Another busy day with Torchy, Bossy Boots, Flower and Little Weed all having first vaccinations. Also got called out to an elderly cat so took her to vets as well.Turns out cat is a ragdoll and we decided she has a caring owner somewhere, said ragdoll has had antibiotics for cough and urine infection and seems fine, finder tells us she will only eat ham and cheese sandwiches, no chance of finding human food in this house :rofl: we have left her with cat food. Have since had call from finder saying cat has owner and shall she come and collect her; my reply was give owner my phone no and she can claim her cat who does have health issues which I will discuss with her along with vet bill am sick of being taken for a ride.
-
A little Andy Pandy-ness creeping into the names there methinks, Aunty T. ;) :evillaugh: Poor old girl, the elderly cat.
Macbeenz is sending snoozles for you Aunty T. :catlove2:
-

O dear Sue Macbeenz is tiring you out, Little Weed was Bill and Ben the flower pot men, think Andy Pandy was Lou b lou :rofl:
I am in disbelief that Ragdolls owner has not yet bothered to phone me , am I expected to stand by the phone 24 hours a day waiting for her to find a minute in her busy shedule, after all I have nothing else to do and more to the point her pet cat is taking up a pen that could be saving a life. Meanwhile Raggedyann is lovely, very grateful for a bed and has eaten dry food so at least we have improved her diet.
Got someone coming to check on my huge amount of wealth this morning :rofl: they need to see if I am poor enough to get my stair lift :rofl: been waiting over 3 months now.
All cats and kittywinkles fine.
-
:shy: :-[ I do believe you're right :rofl: Those sleepless nights are taking their toll........
It beggars belief with some people. You'd have hoped she'd have called straight away.
Good luck for the stairlift visit Teresa (our neighbour had a similar ordeal before they were eventually granted one, and not before said neighbour had declared roundly they could all go to hell in a handcart, as he'd never asked for a thing before in his life) :hug: :hug:
-
Poor old Raggie - her owner obviously has far more impoortant thigs to worry about............. >:( >:(
Fingers crossed for the stair lift - just be careful with some of your little gremlins there , I wouldn't feed after midnight if I were you............... :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
I know how you feel Teresa!! I had an email from a lady on Tuesday to say she'd just got back after being away for 4 weeks and her mom was looking after her cats. One of them went missing around 25th July...................i remembered someone had found a similar cat on that date and in that area, so, just over half an hour later, i emailed her with the finders number...............the finder hasn't had a call ! :Crazy: :Crazy: I did wonder if her computer may be broken so went knocking doors this morning to find her! (i'd got the street but not the number :rofl: ) I found her house and pushed a note through! The finder seems reluctant to hand her over to someone 'not very interested' and the cat has settled well with the family and her own cats! Of course, it may not even be her cat but wouldn't you be straight round to have a look????? >:(
Good luck with the stair lift! :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I'd certainly be straight round to look. I travelled miles in search of Flynn when he disappeared. Ended up on some right goosechases, but I'd have done it all again if I could have found him, dead or alive.
-
She is in a better place currently with you Aunty T and I would trump up the vets bill and see what reaction you get, Raggies aren't the brightest in the pound we now have Minmin and Caspurr and both look stunning but didn't get much in the brain dept although think Caspurr is brighter than darling Minmin
Good luck with the stair lift, I now have visions of them all waiting to sit on your knee to go up the stairs ;D
-
Poor girl still unclaimed.
Am keeping a very watchful eye on Little Weed Alias Grotbag who is not too bright after yesterdays vaccine.
Stairlift may evidently take months yet they are hoping I die first, told woman that and she didnt argue :rofl:
-
I hope you told her you intend to live for ever and that you'll be back next month for a rise and fall bath balloon....! :P
:hug: :hug: :hug: And sending a gentle chin tickle for Lil' Weed. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope Little Weed is feeling better now. :hug:
Poor old RaggedyAnn. Do you think the 'finder' could be the owner trying to pull a fast one?
Sorry to her about the stair lift but why am I not surprised. >:(
-
Sending lots of these :hug: :hug: :hug: for all at the Inn today. How is Little Weed?
I'm loving all the names by the way. :) Bossy Boots is pretty self-explanatory but Torchy???? Is that like Torchy the battery boy? I'm embarassed to say I can still sing the theme tune word perfect. :rofl: I bet amost folks on here are too young to know what I'm talking about. :innocent:
Just looked at the website and I can see why Baby Bea is helping home kittens. :Luv2:
-
I am equally embarrassed to confess I can sing them too :evillaugh:
-
Never heard of him and I've got a few years on you Sue. Just had to google him. He's a bit scarey in a really weird sort of way :scared: :scared: :scared: :evillaugh:
Very much hope Little Weed is a lot brighter today :hug:
-
Hope Grotbag is feeling better soon and that your stair lift visit went well.
-

Very much hope Little Weed is a lot brighter today :hug:
I loved Torchy :rofl:
It took Raggedyanns owners over 24 hours to claim her,poor girl had been lost for 5 weeks,I found myself detesting her owners and more so when I found out their moggie had a litter of kittens.
Torchy and Bossy Boots went to their new home this morning. Little weed has totally recovered after her vaccinations and is back to being her usual mad maniac self :rofl: all others happy and well.
-
Glad Little Weed has no ill effects from her vaccination and another two have gone off to their forever homes.
Poor old Raggedyann - her owners don't sound very caring and she probably feels pushed out by the new kittens. >:(
-
Poor Raggedyann indeed. That's so sad. In no hurry to get her back. :(
Good news though about Torchy and Bossy Boots and realy pleased to hear Little Weed isn't suffering any lasting effects from her vaccinations. :)
(I thought Torchy was a bit scary, I confess!) There was a dog too - I can't recall its name, but the dog was sweet :evillaugh:)
-
Sue dog was Pom Pom :rofl: and the program was on in 1958, doesnt that make you feel special :rofl:
Well today has been horrible, non stop phonecalls asking me to take cats in that are just not emergencys and some very nasty people at the other end of the phone, I refuse at least 3 cats everyday but today officially became autumn when folks believed it was time to report the stray who turned up last April so today my refusals have hit double figures. So wish it was 1958 again and I had Torchy to look forward to.
Got a couple coming to view the cats tomorrow, so fingers crossed although with me doing the viewing when I can barely walk to Pens I dont hold out a lot of hope :rofl: This damp air is not good.
Cats/kittens all doing well though we are still concerned about Flower and Little Weed who still only weigh 700g and 500g at 10 weeks old
Missed my daily fix of Meerkat Manor today and I am left worrying about the outcome of the latest conflict between Whiskers and Lazuli, guess I shouldnt watch TV :rofl:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
You know you are doing everything you possibly can Teresa :hug:
Fingers crossed for the viewing, have they got anyone in particular in mind?
-
:hug: :hug: Good luck for the viewing tomorrow.
-
Sending some Miracle Gro vibes to Flower and Lil' Weed :hug: :hug: and tons of good wishes for today's viewing Teresa.
-
Take care of yourself Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope the viewing goes well Teresa, take care :hug:
-
Fingers and paws crossed for the viewings! and sending :hug: to Flower, Little Weed and you too T.
S.
-
Rushed to vet with Little Weed this morning she is very down and doesnt want to eat,no temp and nothing obvious, Andy agrees with me that we could lose her as she has had everything bad since day 1 and despite everything being good now unlike her sister she is not progressing. I am syringe feeding AD but Andy is very concerned that she is close to having an intersusseption so afraid we are walking on egg shells.
So its fingers crossed and hope we get it right.
-
Oh no. Poor little girl. I do hope not. Bless her, she's too lovely. :( :hug: :hug:
-
You'll both be in my thoughts Teresa :hug: She is lucky to have you fighting for her, if there's a chance she can pull through I know you would do everything to make it happen :hug:
-
We have all paws crossed here for the little one and she certainly has the best nurse to help her so we are sending positive thoughts and :hug: for you both
-
Sorry to hear about Little Weed, hope she responds to all your care :hug: :hug:
-
Viewing well Rob stayed home and showed the couple round, sorry but they cant cope with Annabels colour they expected to have a wide variety of greys/gingers to choose from :rofl: :rofl: Rob has suggested they go and look around rspca. dont know whether to laugh or cry.
Just to make matters worse 2 kittens were dumped in the woods, have been told they are tiny 6 -9 inches long so they are coming here and I have no Pen space, come on T you can juggle space for more black/whites :rofl:
No change in Little Weed am going out to syringe feed her now.
-
Teresa - :hug: :hug: Annabel is a beautiful colour. Poor little lady. She doesn't deserve to be overlooked so often bless her.
And so now you have Babes in the Wood too?
topping up gentle nom-nom vibes for Lil' Weed.
-
I am so sorry the people were so short sighted they could not see the charms of the Inn's residents :hug:
-
I am so sorry the people were so short sighted they could not see the charms of the Inn's residents :hug:
Ditto :(
I love my boys to death and there's no denying they are nice looking cats with lovely colouring but I love them for their little personalities, not their colour. Blacks and black & whites (and of course torties :hug:) are no less loving , funny, endearing and special than the gingers/greys this couple were hoping to take their pick from - in a way if someone is that shallow that they will only go for certain colours then they're not special enough to have a Paws Inn cat :hug:
Hope the juggling goes OK and look forward to hearing about the babes in the wood :hug:
-
Just given Little Weed another syringe feed she thanked me by piddling on her clean vet bed, we have brought the girls into the living room so I can give more attention throughout the night, probably wishful thinking but I swear she looks a teeny bit better.
This mornings viewers have just reserved Lark but expressed that they dislike the name and will change it.
I`m trying

Tiny babes from woods are not so tiny, more like 12-14 weeks :rofl:
Little Weed is a teeny bit better but shes not out of the woods yet.
-
Fingers crossed for the little one.
Are you going to be up all night?
Nicky
-
Morning Teresa. How's Lil' Weed today? Sending little snoozles for her from me and Mac. So these Babes in the Woods, then - more like Teens in the Timberlands? :evillaugh:
Great news about Lark's new home. :)
-
Great news for Lark. ;D Hope Lil' Weed is doing better today.
-
I`m shattered :rofl:
Little Weed perked up a bit last night but was down again this morning so we have been back to vets, Andy said he could see progress but she has a long way to go, he is very concerned about her kidneys which seem very large but says time will tell,just syringe fed her again and madam is sitting watching me type.
The Babes from the woods have settled ok so far and seem to have recovered their ordeal, both black/white 1 girl and 1 boy and please dont anyone mention Hansel and Gretel :rofl:
Think I may try a catnap now, just to see what its like of course :rofl:
-
Sending lots of positive vibes for Little Weed and a big :hug: for you. I'm sure the babes in the woods will thrive in your care.
Good news about Lark (have to confess I don't like the name either but I know you do). Poor Annabel overlooked again. :( You'd better tell her I'll keep my promise. ;)
-
Wot's da promise, Aunty Carol? ;) :evillaugh:
-
Hope Little Weed picks up again soon.
Whats the promise?? Is Annabel getting a new home? :)
Nicky

Whats the promise?? Is Annabel getting a new home? :)
Nicky
Sadly No Reserve yet. Annabel is still available.
I have separated Little Weed and her sister as Flower is bouncing all over her and thats the last thing a poorly kitten needs; I now have 2 collapsible Pens in my living room set side by side so the girls can see each other. Still syringe feeding Little Weed, how very apt her name is,10 weeks old and 500g her previous owner needs whipping. She is still so very poorly but am doing everything possible for her and I think their is a teeny improvement.
Babes from Woods very happy and grateful for their Pen; am so weary of naming kittens :rofl:
-
Teresa - just a suggestion for Babes in the Wood, but given their sylvan start, how about Rowan and Sorrel?
Sending gentle little snoozles for Lil' Weed. C'mon sweetheart. We want you to grow big and strong in Aunty T's excellent care. :hug: :hug:
-
Why does Annabel keep getting overlooked :( Having seen pics of her I just don't understand it. She's such a little sweetheart. :Luv:
-
I love those names Sue ;D Hope Little Weed is coming along and will soon be known as Big Weed :) Sending you a couple of :hug: :hug: Teresa
-
I am seeing improvement in Little Weed this morning, dont think we need to go to vet today , I think she may be out of the woods.
more later
-
I do hope so Teresa - fingers crossed. :hug:
-
You are so good at names, but reserves must be running low with all the kittens that you've had over the years.
Hope Little Weed continues to improve.
Nicky
-
Its been hard work but well worth it, Little weed is much brighter now and although I am still syringe feeding she will lap small amounts of kitten food.Not weighing her till Sunday when Debbie comes but am sure she has put at least 1gram on :rofl:
Sue we came up with babes from woods names before I saw your post, they are Dandelion and Burdock, will save your names for future kittys :hug: No help till Sunday so cant realy manage photos til then.
-
:hug: :hug: For you and Little Weed,here's wishing her prgress.
-
So pleased that Little Weed is improving, sending her lots of gentle strokes :hug:
-
Am delighted to hear Little Weed may be beginning to gain weight after all. More fud!! ;D :Luv:
-
Little Weed greeted me wth a cry for food this morning and when request given she tucked into it and polished dish clean,shes definately on the mend, think her sister Flower is a little jealous of all the attention Little Weeds been getting.
Not mentioned Baby Bea for a while, she has pu on weight and is thriving, she loves to be stroked but is terrified of the floor so tomorrow she is moving to a "bottom" Pen where she will get used to seeing kittens playing and more importantly realise that humans have legs :rofl:
All else fine apart from yours truly been overdoing it a bit but will soon be ok again.
-
Glad to hear Little Weed is one the mend and got her appetite back.
-
Great news,look after yourself Teresa.x
-
Pleased to hear good news about Little Weed. Please take care of yourself Teresa :hug:
-
Clearly some MacBeenz snoozles are needed for Aunty T - here they come..... ready? :catlove2: :catlove2: :catlove2:
-
Glad Little Weed is on the mend. :) Dandelion and Burdock was my favourite when I was a kid. ;D
Take care. :hug: :hug:
-
Glad to hear the updates. I hope youre looking after yourself as well as you do the furries!!!!
Dandelion and Burdock hey??? What about sasparilla as well? That was my favourite
love

Think it may be confession time, when I was 10 years old I played truant from school with my friend for first and last time, we spent our dinner money on a large bottle of dandelion and Burdock, thereafter I needed to be superglued to toilet :rofl: :rofl: The man who found the babes in the woods is a very serious marathon runner and for some reason while he was telling me about his marathons all I could think of was running because of that Dandelion and Burdock :rofl: :rofl:
My Little weed is still improving :Luv:

Very pleased to hear Little Weed is fighting back.

:evillaugh: Am also pleased to hear about Little Weed and Baby Bea, and that both are doing well. :)
-
Going to be a busy day today but we have Aunty Debbie coming to help. Got a viewing at 11am but its just for a single and only singles I have are adult so not really hopeful. Lark is booked to go to her new home at 2 and then we can hopefully do a massive Pen reshuffle so that Baby Bea can have her ground floor Pen and of course we need to decide who gets Larks luxury Pen.
Little Weed is much improved again, I syringe fed her last night before I went to bed though it wasnt really needed, more to make me feel better.
If there is time I will ask Debbie to take some pictures.
-
Hope the viewing goes well and am pleased Little Weed is still doing well and hope Bea likes her new ground floor accommodation :)
-
Little Weed was well enough to have a little playtime running around the kitchen this afternoon;, her weight is up to 580grams she will be 11 weeks old tomorrow :Crazy:

-
Little Weed is continuing to make progress and is eating by herself now, trouble is she has taken a liking to royal canin babycat mousse cost approx £1 per tiny foil tray. Am going to get Andy to have a good look at her mouth when I next go to vets as she makes a grinding noise like nothing I have ever heard before, no ulcers her teeth seem minute so worth checking out.
All else fit and happy
-
"All else fit and happy"
:hug: :hug: How sweet is it to hear that? :)
-
Little Weed gone down again this afternoon, shes not eating and has been sick, she was brilliant yesterday which leaves me very worried, Vet appointment 5.30 today

Yet again vet cant find anything, temperature normal,he has given antibiotic injection just in case and I am back to syringe feeding.Her weight is down to 490grams and she is 11 weeks old.We took Flower too although nothing wrong with her and I think her weight was 850grams. This is punishment for congratulating myself on excellent nursing yesterday :rofl:
-
Hope she picks up again soon. :hug: Perhaps she just likes all the personal attention, :-:
-
Sending 'get strong' vibes to little Weed :care:
-
Sending much love to little weed and hoping that today she feels much better :hug:
-
Praying Little Weed gets bigger and stronger every day xxxx
-
:( Hope Little Weed will be OK.
-
Little Weed is much brighter this morning. I decided to just syringe water into her and this morning the hungry little madam miowed at me to give her breakfast then licked her dish clean, just hope she keeps it down.She certainly likes to worry me.
Debbie is kindly taking me to vet at 5.30 along with Baby Bea, Scallywag and Blackbeard for 2nd half vaccs and the Babes from the woods Dandelion and Burdock are having 1st half vaccs.
Really worried by woman offering me a healthy donation to take her pedigree cat, I will of course be refusing as my spaces go to urgent cases , she worrys me as she runs risk of putting cat in wrong hands by offering money and saying its a beautiful ********* but then again many ped rescues charge to take in, must think very carefully about my rely to her and who to recommend.
-
Good to hear little Weed is a bit brighter again today T - fingers crossed it continues!
Photos are beautiful, all those kittens are so cute :Luv:
Brilliant news about Annabel, so pleased she's finally found a new home, and Lark too, lovely!
Hope you're keeping well T and remembering to fit some TLC in for yourself
x
-
Pleased to hear Little Weed is brighter today, fingers crossed there are no more setbacks for her.
People don't make your life easier do they Teresa as you will be worrying about the pedigree cat if you refuse it a place :hug:
-
Glad to hear Little Weed is feeling better. Yay for Annabel getting rehomed. That's brilliant news.
-
The Weed is still improving.
Baby Bea, Scalleywag and Blackbeard are all fully vaccinated now.
We took Dandelion and Burdock for the first half of their vaccinations this afternoon, as I began to feel unwell I left Debbie to sort everything, she came out and told me that Andy had given a thorough examination but was unable to report on either heart because both were purring so loudly, Debbie asked him to check their age and he agreed with my estimate of 14 weeks; dont know about babes from the woods but these 2 are something very special and I think I have a reserve on them already.
-
I'm so pleased to hear that little weed is improving ;D Fingers crossed that she continues to get better :crossed
I'm sure that both dandelion and burdock will be snapped up real soon as they are both so adorable :Luv: :Luv:
:hug: :hug:

Back to vets in morning,Little Weed throwing up everywhere again.
-
Oh no :(
-
Por Little Weed and poor you. :hug: Do you think it could be her kidneys T? Didn't the vet say he was a bit worried about them on her first visit and being fine one day then sick the next happens in kidney disease doesn't it.
-
Healing vibes being sent to Little Weed
:get well: :cutety:
-
Teresa, am sending positive thoughts for Little Weed's vet visit this morning, and hoping it can be established what's causing this dip and recovery syndrome. :hug:
-
:( :(
Sending lots of positive vibes to Little Weed
-
Hoping Weed is diagnosed so they can help her. Must be really frustrating. :(
-
Well being the cruelest person on earth I decided not to go to vet this morning as the walk to the car seemed a little too far. Little Weed ate overnight and kept it down and has since eaten a hearty breakfast and kept that down. I threw her into the same Pen as her sister Flower and both have played at a 100 miles an hour for last 2 hours, they are now sitting quietly watching me and wondering if its time for elevenses.
Had a phonecall from Annabels new owner who says she is beautiful and has settled in well, she is delighted that she is so affectionate,and this morning briefly met Charlie the other cat well just a peep from a tiny opening in the door, lady has been scent swapping so all seems well.
Think I`m going to have 5 minutes on Busters Bench now.
-
Hazel and kits have had some sort of bug this week. Started off with Mac, vomiting violently and very often, hunched over water bowl. I took him to the vet - no temp but AB jab just in case. He was fine the next day, when Monkey and Pecan started on it - didn't take them in to vet and then they began to get better and Hazel started...... Just mopped living room again and cleared up deposits. Some vomiting and Diarrhea upstairs today...... now need my lot to start - good thing I bought the last lot of Trigene in a 20 litre container......
Hope yours throw it off as quickly!
-
Had a phonecall from Annabels new owner who says she is beautiful and has settled in well, she is delighted that she is so affectionate.....
At last somebody appreciates Annabel's lovely nature. :) I must admit to being a tad envious of her new owner. :innocent:
Hope the improvement in Lttle Weed is continuing anf you are feeling better T. :hug:
-
Well Flower and Little Weed have been together again for over 24 hours, Weed seems to be boss now and is eating more than her share of the food, no vomit for 48hours so am hoping she will have gained a little weight at tomorrows weigh in.
Angie hope yours are soon recovered :hug: nothing worse than watching one go down and worrying which one is next,love all those nutty names. The one thing vet is positive about with Little Weed is that its not a bug.
Not really said much about all the other inmates, hopefully Debbie will be here tomorrow and I will hand her the camera, in truth I havent been spending a great deal of times in outside Pens as I am busy looking after Flower, Weed and myself :rofl:
-

Baby Bea is real stunner - I've just had OH drooling over her. :shocked:
........ and Dandelion and Burdock :Luv2: :Luv2: What can I say other than despite your explanation about pink flowers and yellow flowers I still think Dandelion is a girlie name and Burdock is a boy. :evillaugh:
Fingers crossed that Little Weed goes from strength to stength and I'm pleased to see that you have been looking after your self as well T. :hug: :hug:

You seem to get the amazing energy the kittens give you a purpose and of course there is always room for a little one at the Inn
Sending cyber hugs for all of you from the Clan cats and dogs and a special Brrp from Star from Team Svartleheim who is here on foster :hug:
-
I`ve just had another phonecall from where my tiny kittens came from, first I took 2 then a 3rd came this morning and now a further 5 are on their way; one of them sounds very badly injured, fortunately I have a vet appointment just after 5 so will see vet straight away. I just so hope that this little one is saveable, i`m not really a tough old boot, I just pretend, so some very positive vibes please.
-
Shedloads of positive vibes for the little one, Teresa. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh my goodness. Sending masses of positive vibes for these kittens, especially the injured one, and a big :hug: for you.

Sending all the best vibes we can for all of the little ones, going to be safe at the Inn with our wonderful Aunty T, you may not be strong Aunty T but you have a wonderful way about you which in turn gives magic to the Paws Inn residents
At least they are safe with you for however long :hug: :hug:
-
Sending positive vibes the little ones' way :hug: :hug: :hug: (One of those is for you too)
-
:thanks: All, what I was led to believe was a broken neck, thankfully its not that but Andy thinks brain related, I noticed slight tremors on some of kittens both yesterday and today so more likely its a brain thing, Poor boy has had antibiotic and all 8 vitamin jabs just incase. We wont know whether little one will live or not for a few days but I am certain he is worth pulling all the stops out and Andy agrees with me.
I know everyone is on pins waiting to know what colours they are some are longhaired some shorthaired and I cant remember sexes but we have 2 cuckoos at the Inn in other words 6 blacks and 2 others which we cant believe :rofl:
-
Sending lots of positive vibes for these little ones Teresa :hug:
-
Sending positive vibes for all the poorly little ones :hug: :hug:
-
Sending lots of good vibes from all of us here and are the other 2 either Greys or Gingers or nortie torties or the usual black and white
-

Crikey Liz you`ve just about covered all bases :rofl: :rofl:
Solid grey 1 longhaired 1 shorthaired, but shorthaired one is badly affected with tremors.
Got to feed them again soon and I am exhausted already :rofl:
Handbags strictly forbidden :rofl:
-
So glad I covered all bases do love me black and greys and me ginger ninja's and me nortie torties ;D
I hope they find strength from you and likewise you stay strong for them, now you are sitting down captive for feeding:)
I can bring a small suitcase then ;)
-
Aw Teresa. Am so pleased the little one didn't have a broken neck. If it is a brain injry or disorder, will that be something that can be worked with (assume it may be a genetic thing if some of the other babies are exhibiting signs?) I know you'll be doing everything in your power for them. I can feel your "busy-ness" from here :hug: :hug:
Only six blacks, eh? Two greys. Oh my..... :Luv:
Sending gentle snoozles to all at the Inn this morning, cos it sounds like it's been a very tiring 48 hours. :cat rub:
-
Well my little boy does seem to have very serious problems,whilst he can move his head and hold himself up when surrounded by his siblings he just cannot stand.Not giving up yet he deserves every chance though having been up all night with them watching him I do feel despondent.
Pics not wonderful but if you look at black kitten bottom left of pic you can see him clinging onto tray for support and his head bent over, his head is like this all the time.
Well I sexed them in the early hours, 5 boys, 2 girls and 1 too fluffy down there for me to decide :rofl:
Time to feed again at 10 and each feed taking over an hour.
-
Hi Teresa
Sent you a PM and an email did you get them.
Julie
-
Aw, the poor little thing :( at least they're in the bestest possible place with you T. Big :hug: to you and also to the new arrivals.
Will be checking back for an updates on the poor lil fella.
-
Teresa, what a beautiful little bunch. Sending extra special vibes to the little black one. What a little treasure. If anyone can give him a helping hand, it's you Teresa.
-
Bless them, they are lovely, sending vibes to them all in particular to the poorly little lad.
-
Lots of positive vibes to them all! They don't know how lucky they are being with you! :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
We trapped 2 little ones yesterday from where i used to work-about 7 weeks old, and the usual story down here, nowhere to put them at the mo! Hopefully my friend will only have to keep them for a week! :Crazy:
-
Teresa, what a beautiful little bunch. Sending extra special vibes to the little black one. What a little treasure. If anyone can give him a helping hand, it's you Teresa.
Agreed. :)
-
Another feed done and little boy was ravenous so maybe the vitamins are kicking in, no change to his problems though.
They are currently are snuggled up together sleeping, clean, full bellies and had a good grooming session, as for me not even combed my hair yet :rofl: How lovely it must be to be a pampered puss :rofl:
-
We continue to send positive vibes for them all but especially the little one
Can I add some names for the blacks - Sweetie, Toerag, Inca, Cougar, Puma, Diva and Kali
For the greys ours are Shadow, Floddy and Blue, not forgetting Pebbles and Storm
If it makes you feel better I haven't combed my hair and am still in the tracksuit for dog walking :rofl:
-

Heres a couple of pics a friend took this afternoon.
The little black boys head is permantly in this position, tried to get him to lap but his little ear just goes in food. Im feeding him up incase its caused by malnourishment and giving him lots of massages.
-
They remind me of the dwarfs. :Luv2: Can you tell them apart or will they be getting interesting haircuts with names to match. :naughty:
So it takes over an hour to feed them eh? You obviously need my help. NOT. :rofl::
Topping up the positive vibes for this lot, especially the little black boy who can't stand. Do try to get some rest between feeds T or you'll be falling over too. :hug: :hug:

Popping by to send Saturday orning cuddles to all at the Inn, large and small, hooman and durries. :hug: :hug: That little lad has a hard road ahead, but am hoping things can come good for him. In your care he stands as good a chance as any. :hug: :hug:
-
Been giving lots of thought to our little boy, and keep asking myself why mum cat fed him and allowed him to remain in the nest and I have come up with an answer which I am clinging to: Mum cat obviously knew he had a life ahead.
All seem to be doing ok though human has tripled her wrinkle count overnight :rofl:
-
Pleased to hear all are doing well and am so glad you are giving the little lad a chance :hug:
-
Cor you has been busy - come on little black lad - your new Mum is a miracle worker you know , so you mustn't disapoint................... :hug: :hug:
-
Cor blimey! :Crazy:
Love that piccy of them all wedged in together, can't tell which bit belongs to which! Fingers and paws crossed for all of them, especially little wonky boy and ditto the above re: giving yourself a bit of rest. Am sure if the kitties could hold a comb one of them would help you out :Luv:

I haven't posted here in an age - but I still send regular vibes for you and for all the paws Inn Residents. Looking at those pictures and seeing some that remind me of a teeny-tiny "Mr T" I shall up those vibes
Bright Blessings to you and yours :hug:

just topping up the vibes for Little Lad :hug:
What's the situation with the Mum cat to these little ones?
-
What's the situation with the Mum cat to these little ones?
For anyone wondering, I dont have time to tell full story but will say that I have NEVER taken kittens and ignored mum cat and never will. It was not possible for mum cat to care for these babies so she has been spayed and returned to the factory. We also have staff at factory on full alert to check for more cats.
This is mum cats 3rd litter of 8 this year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish mum cat could have continued to care for the babies because my life is not exactly a bed of roses and 8 is an enormous litter to handrear esp when 1 is disabled.
All seem to be fine this morning but I think human needs a vet and a head shrink :rofl:
Sarah sorry my answer not meant to sound harsh :hug: just done for.
-
I bet you're exhausted! :)
-
Sarah sorry my answer not meant to sound harsh :hug: just done for.
Don't worry T - no offence taken! Hope my question didn't sound like I was accusing you of ignoring Mum cat as I know you'd never do that T! Glad to know Mum cat's ok as I didn't know if she'd been in a RTA or something.
Hope all's well at the Inn today :hug:
-
Babies all doing fine, vet again tomorrow.
-
Topping up the vibes and the energy boosters. Hoping all goes well today at the vet Teresa. :hug: :hug:
-
I second wot Sue said. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Little one had his jab this morning, Andy is really pleased with his progress so are we. Weighed them all yesterday 6 were 300grams and the other 2 were 360 grams, little poorly neck was one of the 2 bigger ones.
Daisy and Buddy neutered this morning.
All else fine.
-
Thats good news, keep up the good work, you must be shattered. Take care of yourself.

Sending :hug: :hug: for Daisy and Buddy and topping up the positive vibes for little poorly neck and all his siblings.
Oh, and these are for you T :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Really good news that everything went off well at the Vets. Topping up the cuddles and the snoozles for all at The Inn. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
We had a scare with another of the tinies and rushed him to the vet at 6pm, I thought we might lose him, anyway he is fine now, will tell the story later when I am a bit stronger, going to try and get half hour on settee now, forgotten what bed looks like.
All fine.
-
Sleep tight, Teresa. I will soothe you with some special Macsnoozling vibes - just lie back and relax and soon you will feel sleepy....... stleeeeeepyyy............ :)
-
Sorry to hear about the scare, hope the little one will be ok. Hope you are managing to get some sleep :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Couldnt sleep, gone beyond it but rested anyway.
We rushed the little one to vet last night in obvious discomfort, he didnt want his food and he kept sitting hunched on litter tray, I had thought he might have a blocked bowel but vet could find nothing wrong so gave him antibiotic and pain relief,just incase. Later in the evening I heard and saw him wretching and thought O No its a bug,eventually after much hard work a chunk of kitten food came up, poor boy had been blocked but top end; will have to put food in blender to make sure this doesnt happen again, Laughably most of what they have been eating has been syringe fed, the kitten food was a lapping lesson, I just didnt allow for a gannet :rofl:
Little poorly neck is doing fine and prefers to take charge of food bowl by standing inside it and eating for England :rofl:
I think this is the first litter of 8 I have ever had to handrear and I will admit to finding it very difficult, but hopefully I will soon be able to look back and laugh.
Daisy and Buddy fine after yesterdays neutering and all else happy and well.
-
Oh poor little sossuj! He must've felt very poorly. Am so pleased he managed to fetch it up. Also pleased that Little Wobbly Neck is managing to stand his ground, bless him.
Sorry you couldn't get any sleep Teresa - must be losing me touch! ;) :hug:
-
Oh Teresa you're an absolute (http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww266/diane031247/spin.gif) all the work you do to keep all these babies cared for and healthy you deserve a medal just make sure you get some rest and thats an order(http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af351/McGibley/Random/Pointing_Smiley_by_thejagman22.gif) :hug: :hug: :)
Little wobbly neck is such a little sweetheart bless :Luv: I'm soo glad he is doing well
pleased to hear all went well for Daisy and Buddy too ;D
Sending you and all the residents at paws inn lots of positive vibes and big :hug: :hug: :hug:

After blending 2 satchets of kitten food until it was mousse like I decided the little gang could lap the lot or starve. I will confess I am getting short on trousers as most are in the wash bin plastered with kitten food while the washing machine is always full of cat bedding.
I came up with a fail safe keep clean plan, I covered myself with 2 towels and decided that kittens could lap on my knee one at a time, well it seemed to work until She who must be obeyed decided she needed a meaty paw wash and did the kitten food dance, not to worry she kept her face clean.Poorly neck on the other hand decided to wear a mask of food :rofl: instead of crying I sat laughing thinking how lucky they were to be alive. 7 out of the 8 ate huge meals so much so I had to blend a 3rd sachet, good thing is they can lap when they want and when I can cope with the mess :rofl:
-
These updates are part of my daily highlights Aunty T thinking of you with a foolproof plan till those smart kittens comeup with the cover Aunty T with mush :rofl:
You may be tired, covered in cat food but you are still our Aunty T ;D
-
oh T, poor thing! Any more ideas on what is up with the little ones neck?
-
Really don't know what to say.......i'm just in awe of everything you do! You really are the Mother Teresa of the cat world! Amazing lady! :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
-
:Luv: A poll of my boarders agrees - greenhouses are the outside bedroom with a view, to stay dry but be outside. Only silly ill-trained slaves try to grow plants in them!!
-
Maybe you could find some waterproof clothing,then you could just wipe it down! :hug: :hug:To you and kits.
-
Hope all is peace and tranquility at the Inn today. :hug:
That sounds like one very expensive chunk of kitten food T. :shocked: Glad he managed to solve the problem all by himself.
-
Hope all is peace and tranquility at the Inn today. :hug:
Whats that :rofl: still not been to bed, someone told these kittens I was a 24/7 slave :rofl: :rofl:

Oh dear. :hug: I hope you are managing to catnap. :)

Oh dear. :hug: I hope you are managing to catnap. :)
I am on poop watch and if I fall asleep one poops and they all dance in it :rofl:

Tiptoeing in to see if there's anyone managing to catch any sleep at the Inn? :-:
Sending snoozles for anyone awake at Aunty T's house. :) :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I dozed off just after 3am and kittens had me awake just before 5.
Moved them to a bigger Pen last night in the hope they would make less mess, that was a joke. I have bathed them all this morning took over 2 hours and was treated to a poop in my kitchen sink, they look and smell beautiful.
Picture of kitten in a bowl is poorly neck :rofl: I am trying so hard to get them to lap nicely but they only do it politely when on my knee having a one to one and most of time want a syringe feed.
I have promised myself that these are the last honest :rofl:
-
was treated to a poop in my kitchen sink, they look and smell beautiful.
Teresa, treasure, you really are working too hard..... :evillaugh: :sick: :hug: :hug:

Have you ever seen such an adorable pair of eyes as on that little grey kitten climbing the bars....? :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
they look like they are strong that is for sure
-
Have you ever seen such an adorable pair of eyes as on that little grey kitten climbing the bars....? :Luv2: :Luv2:
That fluffy grey kitten is the cause of my overwork,He climbed the bars and then dropped a poop below after I had bathed them all, he is trouble, he has covered my wrist in pin pricks,my trousers are covered in food and he is naughty.Funny enough it was the other grey who pooped in my sink, no wonder I prefer blacks. :rofl:
-
he is trouble
He looks it. :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :hug:
-
Awwww adorable! :Luv2: :Luv2: Hope you manage to get 40 winks today! :hug: :hug:
-
Well I suppose it was just too much to ask that your second litter of greys and blacks this year could be as well behaved as the first. :-: They sound more like the muckspots.
They are not just trouble but trouble x8. So cute though. :Luv2: I'm afraid I had to laugh at all the food all over the place and the thought of the little grey pooping from a great height. He clearly has ideas above his station. :rofl:
Serioulsy, I hope they settle down soon to a more orderly way of feeding and eliminating. You must be aabsolutely exhausted. :hug:
-
Well I suppose it was just too much to ask that your second litter of greys and blacks this year could be as well behaved as the first. :-: They sound more like the muckspots.
Carol these are worse than the muckspots, infact they are worse than anything I have ever handreared. I went to bed last night first time in a week and you would have cried if you`d seen the mess I got up to this morning, I have spent last 2 and half hours cleaning and still got 8 filthy kittens to bath. Dont think its being helped by wormy bellys (vet advised me to leave worming a little while) I think I am going to have to get the wormer out and hope for the best. I am not a moaner and the rare times I do moan I make a joke of it but this morning there is nothing left, I just cant give anymore. I have put food in Pen and refuse to top up with syringe, this is all out war,survival of the fittest and these little beauties are fitter than me :rofl:
Well rant over, they are all sleeping contentedly. All other inmates fine.
-
Sending lots of :hug: for you this morning T and I am sure in the battle of wills you may win this round as you need to rest despite what the fab 8 are telling you they think otherwise
I am just sad we are to faraway or I could have done the night shift for you as I am not sleeping well due to me back and shoulder in revolt mode
Also just a quick side note Miss Porsche Bengal was speyed yesterday and is now all ID chipped na dhad her first booster and is like Zena warrior princess this morning :shocked:
-
Hello Teresa, i too wish i lived nearer as i don't sleep anyway.Please take care of your self. :hug:
-
....... I think I am going to have to get the wormer out and hope for the best....... I have put food in Pen and refuse to top up with syringe
That sounds about right to me. The little blighters will be fit enough to cope by now after the AAA attention they've they've been getting from you. Definitely time to put yourself first T. :hug:
-
Wow you really do have your hands full :evillaugh: the little grey one is soooooooo cute he looks so mischivious with those :innocent: innocent eyes :evillaugh: :Luv: :Luv:

Well we split the holy terrors into 2 Pens last night in a bid to solve some problems, Little Willy (Debbie named him last week) has been having awful trouble with shorthaired grey sucking his bits so they have been split, also having trouble with a couple of them toileting where they feel like, somehow I have put 1 in each Pen so piddled beds and poop on floor this morning but nothing like as horrendous as yesterday. I couldnt cope with 8 kittens doing poop dance anymore.
Food wise they have been given no choice but to lap and are now doing synchronised food swimming.
Now here is the good bit, it may be my lack of sleep and old boot eyesight but I cant tell which is poorly neck this morning though I am pretty sure it was him who piddled on clean bed the minute it went into Pen :rofl:
All inmates fit and well.
Denise innocent eyes :rofl: theseare the HOLY TERRORS :rofl: :rofl:
-
Ahhh, the deceptive adorable approach. "See how cute I am? I couldn't POSSIBLY be any trouble...." :sneaky:
You must be exhausted, they look tykes. But they are sweet and I was totally suckered in by the grey boys eyes, just like Sue.
-
How can you say say that about those adorable gorgeous little food swimmers :rofl:
Sending stop weeing in the clean bed vibes for you and the washing machine ;D
Hope you are coping Aunty T remember you do need to rest so step away from the Wonder woman outfit :hug: :hug:
-
does that mean his little neck is getting better T??
-
does that mean his little neck is getting better T??
yes,will have Debbie to help tomorrow so will get pic then,everything been so busy this last 10 days but worth it,
-
:wow: that's brilliant news about poorly neck - fingers crossed its a permanent improvement.
I hope you are getting some sleep now and there are no more poop dances overnight. :hug:
-
So happy to hear good news about the little lads neck. Hopefully now you have split the troublemakers up you will be able to get more rest :hug:
-
Great news about the little kitten with the poorly neck ;D :Luv:
How's little weed doing?
Denise :hug:

-
Delighted to hear good news about little chap with poorly neck here too Teresa :)
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: am so pleased that there is a huge improvement in the little feller's neck position and that such nortiness means the rest are clearly fit and well. Still chuckle at the look on that little grey kitten's face. ;)
-
First batch of pics
-
and
-
And finally, we did intend to get pics of the kittens after they were dried and also pics of other kittens, however 3 hours spent bathing 8 kittens who immediately went for a swim in their food was just too much.
-
I don't know what it is but the wet kitty look makes them look even more cuter if that's possible :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
I Just love them all :)
Denise

Oh T.
Poop dancing and food swimming.......What are these lot putting you through! Those photos are brilliant though :rofl:
I hope they start behaving a bit better soon and you can get a bit of rest.

:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Those piccies reminded me of "Gremlins" - don't feed them after midnight and don't let them get wet... Doh! :doh: :evillaugh:
Think the name Wilbur suits that little fellow down to the ground. Hoping all are well at the Inn this morning, and sending a big MacSnoozle for you. :hug: :hug:
-
How cute are they. I love the photo of scruffypuss. :Luv:
-
Little Willy is going to vet at 5.30, he is very down thanks to his brother Cannibal Kat sucking his bits until he is sore. Am very worried about him.
-
Just been reading all the updates on the 8 kittens, wow T you are doing a great job, I know you are never happier than when you have a litter to look after, but 8 !, OMgosh, hard work.
Loving all the pictures and really hope that Little Willy will be OK at the vets today, I will have to come and visit the Inn before to see a rare sight indeed, some inmates who arent black :shocked: but it will be the blacks that steal my heart no doubt.
-
Am sending some soothing vibes for Little Willy and his vet visit Aunty T. Hope all can be sorted. :hug:
-
Some pics Julie has taken this afternoon
-
Some more
-
More cuteness on a monday afternoon. They are all gorgeous. Hope they all find homes soon.
-
Any news from the vet, Teresa?
-
Any news from the vet, Teresa?
As expected vet said his bits are infected,and his tummy fermenting, he has had antibiotic injection and pain relief, as Cannibal Kat has had a go at all of them I asked vet for AB drops for the others who I had left at home. I had given Little Willy some meds earlier in the day which have helped and he is much brighter now.
The fermenting tummy is caused by the infection plus the added protein from the dead worms. All had day 3 of wormer tonight so thats one thing less to worry about.
Will see what tomorrow brings.
-
Gorgeous pics of all the Paws Inn residents :Luv:
Am shocked to hear about Canninbal Kat :hairrasin: Hope little Willy makes a speedy recovery :care:
-
Poor little Willy! Hope both he and his bits are on the mend soon.
We thought the lucky 8 looked like Gremlins too :evillaugh: What beautiful cats they all are. ;D Wonderful to see Little Weed and Flower looking so big, and the babes form the wood look just gorgeous. OH I think is a bit smitten with baby Bea...
Hope that day by day you have less and less to worry about.
-
Morning Aunty T. I hope that Little Willy is feeling much better soon, and no wonder he was under the weather bless him.
Loved the pictures. Baby Bea is very photogenic, isn't she?
MacBeenz says "squeeewheeeewheeewheee everypuddy at der Inn" and I second that. :hug: :hug:
-
Thirding the gremlins comment.... ;)
Hope the ABs are continuing to help Little Willy and that the others aren't having any obvious problems due to Cannibal Kat.
Also hoping everyone else is well (including the humans!) and wondering how I missed there being a cat called Blackbeard..... :)
-
Cannibal Kat has been at it again, longhaired grey nearly took my hand off when I tried to wash him,yes his bits are sore and swollen have decided that if this continues Cannibal will have to be placed in solitary confinement, even his poor sister has been subjected to this. I have spent 2 hours grooming this morning and they immediately rolled in food so will have to be bathed yet again when I gather some strength. Little Willy is much happier this morning. I have used a full half jar of vaseline since this began :rofl:
Yes Sue Baby Bea is very photogenic, when I think of the poor wee thing we trapped and see her now I realise how beautiful she has become. Julie and Debbie have been working on socialising her with other vaccinated kittens and she is doing well.
Yes Baggy Flower and Little Weed are finally doing well and growing and the Babes in the woods are more beautiful by the day.
Special sqeewees to Macbeenz and be thankful you live far enough from Cannibal Kat that you do not need Willy armour :rofl: :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Thanks be indeed. Bring back the codpiece, methinks. ;) Sounds to me like Cannibal Cat should be segregated until he learns what life is all about. :shify:
:hug: :hug:
-
shall we start a campaign to make poop dancing and food swimming official Olympic sports?
you can be then be an accredited UK trainer, T
-
Poor Little Willy!! I so love these updates - makes me want more kittens but then I have to give myself a reality check. And remember that Giz would probably try to eat them.................. :shify:

Oh Poor little Willy, Junior Officer Ripley says to Cannibal Cat you have to be good for Aunty T or he will come and sort you out !

Oh Poor little Willy, Junior Officer Ripley says to Cannibal Cat you have to be good for Aunty T or he will come and sort you out !

Well I am having a 5 minute break, just bathed 5 of the Holy Terrors and its taken me an hour and 40 minutes,they have been blow dried and look beautiful. Trouble is another 3 to bath,they look and are filthy, I wont begin to tell you what a mess I am in.
I need to runaway but my legs dont work anymore :rofl: :rofl:
This morning I have received a mysterious parcel containing rocket fuel which will surely give me a much needed boost, Thankyou to the anonymus donor :hug:,its things like this that make you realise that people really do care. Rocket fuel = Dolly Mixtures :rofl: :rofl:
Right 3 kittens to bath, She who must be obeyed, Longhaired grey and Cannibal Kat, heaven help me.

Holy Terrors are finally All pooping in litter trays,though 1 in each Pen piddling bed during night; they are still hardwork but have finally reached the playtime stage and I am taking great pleasure watching them run about and have fun.
Debbie took me to vets last night and Olly got his booster, Dandelion and Burdock both had 2nd half of their vaccinations and Little Weed was finally declared fit enough for her 2nd half vacc,we decided not to give leukemia this time due to her tiny size and health history.
She is now 14 weeks old and unbelievably weighs just 640grams. All seem fine this morning.
Must confess that I have been going to my bed for a few nights now so Macbeenz you can stop worrying :hug:
Must get some pics of the older ones who tend to be too busy to pose :rofl:
Was sitting here thinking Julie will be here soon and I`ve just realised its Friday not Saturday, I really am an idiot :rofl:
-
Glad the Holy Terrors are being a bit better behaved now - I hope that includes Cannibal Kat. :Crazy:
So Little Weed has been declared fit. :yayyy: She looks sooooooooo much better in that last pic you posted. I have to admit that I wondered whether she would make it when I saw her earlier pics but I should have known that Aunty T is a miracle worker. :hug:
-

So pleased you are home Carol and cant wait for you to take your turn of Holy Terror cleaning :rofl: Long Haired grey threw up this morning, think he had just eaten too much,anyway he has had his daily bath and looks angelic for now. :rofl:

Hi Teresa just checkin in to see how you're doing hope those holy terrors aren't running you too ragged :evillaugh:

Had a lovely day at the Paws Inn Beauty Parlour yesterday. :evillaugh: I tried my hand at blow-drying kittens which was great fun for me but really hard for T having to do it x8 every day and I can confirm that Holy Terrors is the right name for this litter. It doesn't help that the long-haired grey likes to hog the food and does this by lying in it. The others then scrape what they can from around the grey onto the floor of the pen and dance in it.
I finally got to meet Baby Bea who is even more beautiful in the flesh than she is in her photos and she is a real little purr pot, despite being nervous of new humans. It was lovely to see her playing shyly with Flower and Little Weed, who depite her small size is a bundle of fun. :Luv2:
Took some photos but as usual they are mainly blurs or bottoms :doh: but here are a couple that are vaguely recognisable as cats.
-
Oh Carol, those pics are so cute ;D
-
Carol those pics are lovely thankyou, I`m really pleased you enjoyed yesterday.
Must say you captured the picture of the worlds ugliest kitten to purr fection :rofl:
Currently holy terrors swimming in their food :rofl:
Modified to add that Debbie did the weigh in yesterday and I was delighted to see that each kitten had gained well.

Little Weed & Flower are just soooooo cute :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Loving the curly hair on the little grey one, must have taken quite a while to get the look :evillaugh:

Well the holy terrors are going to need bathing yet again,never have I known such mucky kittens, they are asleep now so bath time a little later.
Sue I could give longhaired grey a haircut if that would help persuade you to take him :rofl: you should see the wonderful job I have done on Harry and Little Willy :rofl: :rofl:

-
Congratulations Carol ! I think it's D and B :Luv:

Good move Aunty T :wow: ;)
Congratulations Carol ;D ;D :hug:

Congratulations Carol!! :Luv:

I`m at the end of my tether now, been asked to take 8x 9week old kittens the b.s.b. has only managed to sell 3,they are in a really bad area what should I do ? 11 kittens = how many unspayed queens. This isnt fair.
-
It isn't fair. :hug: :hug: But you have your hands (not to mention your pens) more than full with the ones you already have and as you told me yesterday rehoming is at a standstill. I know it breaks your heart but with the best will in the world you just can't do more. :hug: :hug:
-
:hug: T
-
I have just said no to these little ones, it is heartbreaking but time I realised no more.
A quick note regards Carols bag, I should have sneaked the 8 holy terrors in but struggled to carry said bag as it was :rofl:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Aunty T knows this is breaking your heart but you have stayed away from the Wonder woman outfit and you have enough on your plate and in it to :hug: :hug:
-
It's so hard,people just don't seem to bother about getting their cats neutered/spayed,in general,they don't bother about anything much. >:(
-
Teresa, I think you've made a heartbreaking, but very necessary decision. You have your hands and your house and your heart full. It isn't right to expect even more. :hug: :hug:
Anyways, you needs to build up your strengff so's next time you can stuff more kitties into Aunty Carol's bag. ;) :evillaugh:
-
These people annoy me so much. You're doing all you can Teresa, and it's frustrating that people who breed their cats never take five minutes to look online at how many cats and kittens already urgently need a home. Or even visit a local rescue and ask how long any of the felines have been there.....
Carol, congrats on your two new family members. :hug:
-
Some not too good pics as terrors are like grease lightening but it gives an idea of the remarkable progress Wilbur has made, they all saw vet Andy on Friday and Andy gave Wilbur a thorough going over before declaring he now has nothing more than Intentioal tremor.
-
Also thougt you might like to see Bad Hair day again :rofl:
-
You've done a good job as usual, bad hair day? poor little tinker, my hairs been like that all day. :evillaugh:
Good news about Wilbur.
Love the square bean bag, i have one the same. :)
Nicky
-
Teresa, you work that magic time and time again. :) So pleased Wilbur has done so well, and my own hair has bad - very bd - days, so I cast no aspersions ;) :hug: :hug:
-
Thanks for the pics Teresa. They're all so :Luv: :Luv: but I have to say that I have a real soft spot for Bad Hair day :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
They are all gorgeous. :Luv:
-
Gentle early morning-ish snuzzles to all at the Inn. Please tell Bad Hair Day that mine is misbehaving today too..... ;)
-
Hope all is well at the Inn today with humans and furries. :hug: Dandelion and Burdock send purrs, cuddles and high speed head butts. :Luv2:
-
Teresa, notice you haven't been online for a few days. Hope you and everyone at the Inn are OK :hug: :hug:
-
Allison echoing my thoughts too, Aunty T - hoping all is okay.
-
Teresa, notice you haven't been online for a few days. Hope you and everyone at the Inn are OK :hug: :hug:
We are all fine :thanks:
Aunty Carol came yesterday and we had a lovely time teaching holy terrors to wash. I found myself licking my own hand and wiping my face ,think kittens just thought mad woman :rofl: Then came a brilliant idea we put a huge blob of butter on a plate and one by one gave each kitten a complete butter facial, bib and front legs :rofl: we really thought we had cracked it when kittens said " thanks this is good" and began licking themselves furiously. Sadly when I put my glasses on I could see they were no cleaner so 3 very dirty kittens Pixie, Willy and Wilbur were put in the kitchen sink and covered with baby shampoo :rofl: Aunty Carol did a good job with the hairdryer and within a couple of hours they were mucky again after being fed. I should I suppose be thankful that the other 5 now wash themselves properly.
I can truthfully say that this litter has been the hardest I have ever coped with and will be the first to admit they have been too much.
All the other cats and kittens are doing well, no hope of homes at present.
-
Glad to hear you're OK Teresa. Can I just say:
I found myself licking my own hand and wiping my face ,think kittens just thought mad woman
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
The things we do for our kitties eh?
-
It's the boyz first anniversary today of their
capturing a slave adoption, so James says prrrrrp and Christopher says squeee to all the Paws Inn inmates still waiting for a slave of their own :hug: .
And a special :hug: for Teresa from all three of us for coping with the holy terrors.

OMG its not a year is it??? those lovely black boys I saw that looked at me as though to say from one...helllllooooooo and the other whaaaaattt are you looking at???(nvere did work out who was who)
I so wanted to take them home but having a cat that doesnt like company it wasnt possible...that said making a choice over purrs babies is impossible
-
Great to hear from you Frances, please give those handsome hunks a cuddle from me. Hopefully you will manage a visit before winter creeps in.
New arrival today, feral about 5 weeks old , isnt he gorgeous, as you can see his colour is faded black :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Oh Teresa he is the cutest little boy such a sweetie :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Hope you're all doing well at the Inn :hug: :hug:
Denise

-
He is gorgeous :Luv2: Has he a name yet ?
-
Happy Adoption Day
Christopher & James :wow:
Hope you had a great day with lots of extra treats and cuddles :) The boys insisted on throwing a mini party held in your honour :)

-
The little new arrival is adorable, hope he's not as mucky as the holy terrors :naughty: :hug:
-
New arrival is beautiful!!! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
A year since Christopher and James agreed to adopt you, Frances? Never! :evillaugh:
Teresa, Fade to Grey is so sweet. He looks very serious, but then I guess when you're a tittentat on yer own, and not all growed up yet, fud is a very serious business.
Am also hoping he's a clean little body, ratherthan another muckspot.
Mac says "squeeeeewheeeewheeeewheeee Aunty T" :wow:
-
Oh Aunty T that looks like a big bad hissy feral boy ;D Now safe at the Inn and under the Paws Inn Magic fairy dust will blossom to be a Junior terrorist
He looks like our Pebbles feral did as a baby he is now 10 and a purrpot in the house and a bengal tiger at the vet :shocked:
-
I am very impressed with new boy ( name to be announced later ) have already taught him to use litter tray, he is lapping ok and my word he washes himself well.I removed his ticks last night hopefully I got the lot. He is a good bit smaller than the holy terrors and I feel so sad that he is alone.
His litter mate is still out but guard is trying to get him as I gather there are dangers from other animals on site.Hopefully littermate will soon be safe..
Holy terrors have had a good run round causing as much mayhem as they could and I am worn out, Aunty Julie has now gone out to play with the older ones dont know where she gets the energy especially as Scallywag can be a holy terror too!
-
The butter idea sounded great in theory, shame it didn't work in practice! :rofl:
-
How about Visage as the name for the newbie darling?
They did the song fade to grey lol
love
tab
-
The new arrival is gorgeous - and he washes himself. :wow: I know I shouldn't be wishing yet more kittens on you but I hope for both
their sakes that he will soon be joined by his litter mate. And I hope for your sake that his litter mate is as clean as he is. :hug: Maybe he could give lessons to the long-haired holy terrors who are still swimming in their food. :-:
-
Still no news of missing litter mate, so worrying.
-
Still no news of missing litter mate, so worrying.
:scared:

So hoping this little guy's littermate can be found and brought home safe, Teresa.
Tab - you were thinking what I was thinking :evillaugh:
-
Morning Teresa
Popping by to say hi to all at The Inn this morning. :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa, love the new arrival :Luv: :Luv: What a looker he is :Luv: :Luv: Hope his littermate can be brought in very soon :(
-
No news of the missing kitten, but Herbie is now well settled and having great fun watching the holy terrors from his cage
( must point out that he is totally isolated but able to watch the others). I now have 3 collapsible pens in my living room and each has a jingly ball tied with ribbon and hung from top of Pen, can you imagine the noise from 9 sets of paws batting away :rofl: all great fun.
Scallywag and Blackbeard have been causing problems attacking human hands when the toys are taken away after playtime and so yesterday Debbie and I went to Pets at Home and bought a couple of new scratching posts and all sorts of toys, we put loads in Pen with boys along with new post which is more designed for play than anything,within minutes it needed repair, boys growled and killed the toys till they were exhausted and thankfully problem much improved.
We also got Buddy and Daisy a posh new post and toys and they had great fun. Baby Bea`s eye caught sight of a strange toy with a sqeeking mouse inside it and when you bat it the mouse`s 2 blue eyes light up, Flower and Little Weed were very impressed with the squeeking mice so all things considered a very worthwhile shopping trip.
We also had a lovely lady visit, she brought some food and a wonderful sort of cat maze, kittens had to find the hidden biscuits in it, they did so in 2 seconds flat :rofl: though will be honest Buddy and Daisy were a bit thick when their turn came :rofl:
-
Love the name Herbie. He is a little cutie too! :Luv:
-
Yes, Herbie suits him beautifully, doesn't it? :)
Hoping all at the Inn are fine and dandy today. :hug: :hug:
-
Had intended to do a proper update but afraid I am exhausted, too much time chasing kittens. All well and having great fun.
-
Ah, that kind of tiredness is allowed. :Luv: :hug:
-
Just changed 3 litter trays and Herbies bedding and fed the 9 terrors, the 8 ran around the living room like bats out of hell :rofl: Big H. and Gigi (she who must be obeyed) ran me ragged as they just did not want to go back in their Pens; when they came to me sweet,tiny and innocent I hoped and dreamt that one day they would be strong enough to play like this :rofl: O dear in my dreams they didnt exhaust me this much :rofl: Herbie forced to stay in his Pen thoroughly enjoyed watching the chaos.
-
Sounds like its all go at the Inn. :hug: I hope Scallywag and Blackbeard don't expect new toys every week and it looks like you can take Buddy and Daisy's names off the list for the Oxford entrance exam, bless 'em. :evillaugh:
I'm glad the holy terrors are in fine form - you'll have to start eating what they're eating to build your strength up. :rofl: I'm looking forward to meeting Herbie - he looks a real sweetie, but then they all do until they get their paws under the table don't they.
-
Carol has a point, Teresa - maybe we should get you onto their eating regime ;) :evillaugh: :hug: :hug: What a joy to hear you say that - you hoped they'd be strong enough one day to play like that. And here they are. Tell Herbie to be patient just a little while longer, then he'll be able to join in the fun and games too. :Luv:
-
Wonderful that the holy terrors have become the healthy, playful kittens you dreamt of just sorry they are tiring you out. Herbie is a bit of a looker and hopefully he will soon be causing havoc with the rest :)
-
:hug: :hug:
-
Hoping all is good at the Inn. Sending snoozles to all, and special squeeewheeewheeee's from MacBeenz to Wilbur and Herbie :hug: :hug: ;D
-
All cats and kittens doing fine. Saturday was good because Little Weed and Flower went off to their new home,they are to live with Scrumpy who I rehomed to the family 15 years ago I am delighted.
Sunday was also good as Scallywag and Blackbeard went off to their new home, they are to live with Lily formerly Amelia who many will remember as one of the cupboard cats we rescued 4plus years ago,so wonderful that people are happy and come back especially as the internet is now pretty useless as a tool for rehoming.
Took in an 8 year old girl yesterday evening,am hoping we have a home lined up for her again someone who has previously had from us.
Herbie has settled in well and is doing fine, the 8 holy terrors are live wires who enjoy creating chaos if they arent stealing my glasses the kitchen roll is shredded all over the carpet,they have learnt to climb and enjoy trying to break my nebuliser,my poor laptop cable is well chewed and so far we have 2 broken photo frames, cant complain really as thats what kittens do.
Dont mention the antics of Ollie and Tula often but both have had me in pleats lately, went to bed before Rob the other night and Tula jumped onto my bedside cabinet and began a funny little dance bit like the hokey cokey you put your left foot in ,your left foot out in out in out, she then repeated with the right foot before finally putting her whole head in followed by a ladylike slurp, yes she was in my water cup :rofl:
After almost 4 years with us Ollie decided he wanted to be an indoor/outddor cat and the very careful decision was made to let him go out, well when he wants to come in he jumps on the patio table and waits to be spotted,if that doesnt work he climbs high up on the roof of summerhouse or brick pens,his way of saying here I am,yesterday morning I was busy on my nebuliser and didnt spot him so he climbed on next doors garage until I spotted him and went to the door with the regular call of Ollie, Ollie, Ollie at which he shows his agility by speedily coming down to earth and back home so I can fuss him and tell him what a good boy he is. Not bad for a meccano cat :rofl:
-
You must be run ragged, made me laugh the way you explained Tulas Hokey cokey.
Nicky
-
Good news about the rehomings, especially Little Weed. Its not that long ago that the vet thought she wouldn't make it. :)
Didn't the lady who has taken Scallywag and Blackbeard say she wanted a quiet cat? :rofl: I can think of lots of adjectives to describe them like adorable, loving and cheeky ................but never quiet. :evillaugh:
Your description of Tula's Hokey Cokey struck a chord - so that's where Dandelion gets it from. :naughty:
-
Congratulations on the rehomings! You really can't have just one Paws Inn cat. ;)
-
Good news on the recent rehomings ;D People obviously know quality cats when they see them that's why you get so many coming back for more :)
Lovely pics of Dandy re-enacting Tula's hokey cokey :Luv: :evillaugh:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Fab photos. Its really great to hear about the re-homings. Very glad to h ear herbie's doing well, adn that the Holy terrors are still creating mayhem and madness at the Inn. :hug:
-
The rehomings have really given me a boost but I have just had to phone poor Julie to ask for help as mum and six kittens on their way here evidently dumped in a box during the night,my dreams of evicting holy terrors from living room into outside pens gone.
Its 2years and 2 weeks since my last ciggie but right now I`m craving again---- dont worry it will pass :rofl:
-
oh T sorry to hear you have filling up again, but fantastic news about the ciggies!
-
Fingers crossed that they have no serious health problems and mum is able to feed the kittens so you don't have to start the night (and day) shifts again. :hug: :hug:
-
oh T sorry to hear you have filling up again, but fantastic news about the ciggies!
OK I got 2 days of having 2 empty pens :rofl:
I would like to clear something up though because we said that Paws Inn was going to close people have assumed that you can magically close doors and all cats disappear, people withdrew much needed financial support without even telling me, most assume I am cat free when in fact this year has been busier than most, I simply havent the time and agility to photograph all the cats as I used to, however care is as good as ever and thanks to helpers Rob, Julie, Debbie and Carol we are getting by. Also huge thanks to the supporters who have stayed with us.
Back to the cats Julie helped me settle them and flea/worm treatment applied to all.
Mum cat is the sweetest most gentle girl she deserves so much better than being bundled in a box with her babies the way she was,her babies are just about 6 weeks old; this morning poop everywhere told us why they had been so callously dumped though in my book not an excuse.
Incidentally did I tell you that all 7 are the most beautiful shade of black/white moggie :rofl:
-
Black and white Teresa? That will make a nice change for you then :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
...this morning poop everywhere told us why they had been so callously dumped though in my book not an excuse.

Hope all is well at the Inn today and you're not up to your oxters in poop. :hug:
-
I hope you're not over doing it Teresa,i absolutely loved the description of a hokey cokey.Keep well.x
-
Topping up the hugs for people, cats and kittens alike :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Blimey....
Two WHOLE days, eh? Still doing an amazing job, Teresa - you and all the helpers. :)
-
Another week of poop and hokey cokeys at the Inn :rofl:.
As expected we managed to rehome Tweet the 8 year old tortie girl, Rob took her to her new home on Thursday evening, she settled instantly.
Mum and 6 kittens doing fine and much cleaner now. Mum is the sweetest girl.
Holy Terrors have totally corrupted Herbie now or is it the other way around; hopefully they will all have first vaccs this week, Auntie Julie is supposed to be posting pics which I could do with getting on website Must also set Debbie to work with camera.
Got someone coming to view Buddy and Daisy tomorrow so everything crossed.
Just for interest, this week I have taken in 8 cats and refused 114 cats !
-
Black and white moggies are the best kind. :Luv:
Sorry to hear you have had support stopped from some sources.
Keep up the good work that you all do.
Nicky
-
OMG youre doing such an amazing job!!! Must be so hard refusing but so rewarding seeing how your paws inns puds thrive

Yesterday was lovely, Carol and Debbie came to help and Buddy and Daisy went to a wonderful home.
I set Carol and Debbie the task of photographing te kittens - well :rofl: :rofl: thoug in fairness they managed a few good ones, its taken me an hour to delete the headless ones :rofl:
Will have to do a few lots as quite a few pics so here goes
First off Wilbur (ex poorly neck) practising lap dancing on my laptop whilst chewing peacock feather
-
no wonder I`m grey
-
No, I'm sorry Teresa, but I don't buy the fact that first pic is you hiding behind the cardboard box, grey or not! :evillaugh:
How wonderful to see Wilbur looking so very normal, bless his heart. :hug: :hug:
-
some more
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Look at Herbie! :wow:
And good to see you have purrfeshurrnal help checking your equipment, Aunty T. :)
-
and then theres mum plus 6 dumped in the box last week, we have called mum Alice, isnt she beautiful and look at the markings on those kittens.
-
They're all adorable....dumped in a box???? Words fail me........at least they're safe now....LOVE black and whites, they all have such different markings don't they? :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Herbie is the cutest little thing!! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Oh my what a cuteness overload :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: all gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Alice looks very young herself. Her kittens are beautifully marked.
-
What a gorgeous young mum+wonderful babes,such a shame people aren't getting their cats "done".
-
There's just too much cuteness going on at the Inn, it's a wonder you get anything done!
Keeping fingers crossed that loving homes are just around the corner for them all :hug:
-
The Holy Terrors photos really don't do them justice. They are all absolutely gorgeous now but so quick. :rofl:
Too soon to have favourites among the latest kittens based on personality but I definitely have a favourite based on looks - she is a girlie. The only other girlie is much smaller than the others so she gets extra rations on her own and seems to want to move in with Ollie. The boys thought Debbie made a good climbing frame. :rofl:
Mum Alice is a really sweet-natured cat and yes Sue, she's only young. She chose her own name - we were trying lots of different ones and as soon as we said Alice she looked up and continued to do so every time we said the name. :Luv2:
-
.....and I nearly forgot this one. Just look at that eye-liner. ;D
-
Alice looks as if she's done a wonderful job with those kittens - but not quite as well as Aunty T has done with the Holy Terrors :evillaugh:
Herbie looks as if he's got very big feets :Luv:
-
Carol - your favourite looks like she has a "dark flame" in the centre of her face. Beautiful. :Luv:
Still gotta peek at that wunnerful Bad Hair Day and Herbie and Wilbur - what a trio of loveliness. And nortiness :evillaugh:
-
Cuteness overload :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Teresa, I have to say Herbie is just so :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Carol and Debbie have shamed me I have been meaning to put some pictures from the Inn on here for weeks. There are so many I have just pick a few. Hope you like them.
-
More pictures from the Inn

More pictures from the Inn

And last but not least my Paws Inn babies : Bill and Ted, Twinkle and Harvey (Sargent Ubend)
-
Adorable! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Well worth waiting for, Julie! :hug:
-
Love the one of Baby Bea playing after all she`s been through.
so good to see Bill and Ted, Twinkle and Harvey looking so well; Ted looks Ginormous. Why is Sergeant U Bend (Harvey) guarding the food :rofl:
-
Sergeant U Bend is clearly the Quartermaster :evillaugh:
-
Gorgeous piccies :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
I hadn't realised quite how magnificently fluffy all your cats were Julie, I bet you have fun with the brushing :evillaugh:
-
I am lucky they are all so soft they love being brushed
-
I just love all those black and whites. I love that they all have a bit of black on their noses. :Luv:
-
Anyone want 9 Holy terrors yes 9 Herbie is now as naughty as the others :rofl: I felt so ill this morning and needed to lie quietly but Holy Terrors decided coffee everywhere, soggy money and soggier paperwork, Wilbur enjoyed a laptop dance opening up all sorts of things I dont know about before killing the mouse :rofl: thank heaven Julie came to the rescue and penned them all after they had shredded peacock feathers everywhere, as for me sick 3 times and a temperature and a right old mess to clean before OH comes home. I will teach them a lesson tomorrow all 9 are going for 1st vaccinations :evillaugh:
All other cats/kittens well behaved and doing ok.
-
Oh Herbie........ :evillaugh:
Seriously though, Teresa, have yourself five minutes out to snatch some much needed "quiet recuperation" time. Tell the holy terrors I may have to send McBeenz McSquee round to give them all an earful ! ;)
Am sending big overbearing Aunty Suepoo hugs to them all - that'll keep em quiet :evillaugh:
-
Aww Teresa, :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Am sending big overbearing Aunty Suepoo hugs to them all - that'll keep em quiet :evillaugh:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Oh Herbie........ :evillaugh:
Tell the holy terrors I may have to send McBeenz McSquee round to give them all an earful ! ;)
Did that and they sent 3 dishes of water flying so 3 lots of bedding in wash now :rofl: They are demanding to know why Mc Beenz Mc Squee thinks its so cool to be good :rofl: All being well they will be evicted from the Big Brother house on Sunday,outdoor Pens await them :rofl:
-
I should NOT have looked in here! I'll have the 3 gray ones please! That should keep Dave on his toes for a while :evillaugh:
-
Oh I never said MacBeenz MacSquee was good - only that he'd give them an earful if they weren't - it's called "der bossin abowt!" ;) :evillaugh: Ninjas are like that
-
9 kittens vaccinated yesterday and so far no ill effects. Andy vet was very impressed with their markings and said I should advertise them as a new breed funny I`ve said that to the girls :rofl: Got him to weigh them and Big H is now 1.3kg incredible Wilbur ex poorly neck is the smallest at 800grams.I have been pulling Wilbur out for extra meals and realised this afternoon that I have been pulling the wrong kitten out, no wonder FiFi has an enormous wasteline.
Now why do these kittens look so stunning, black curly coats,grey undercoats and chocolate faces as for the name of this weird and wonderful breed Pawsinners :rofl: all ex feral but then again thats how the devon rex originated.
-
Glad the vaccinations went well :) Pawsinners are certainly of top quality pedigree, I've been saying it for years - the Paws Inn polish that is hard to beat :hug:
-
Couldn't agree more Helen..... :evillaugh: :Luv: Am so pleased the vaccinations went well, and the 9 behaved themselves ;) All of your tenants are beautiful Teresa, even Bad Hair Day, for whom I have a particular affection. :Luv2:
-
So pleased the injections went well. :hug:
-
We had decided to move the holy terrors out into the cat Pens on Sunday and they dont seem to be missing TV just yet. They do have more room and a cosy warm bed that I could crawl into. I think its been harder on me living with 9 maniacs in the living room for so long, when I got up yesterday I felt as if my arm had been cut off.
When the kittens come out to play Baby Bea lies in her Pen dumbfounded at the antics and confidence these little terrors show,poor girl also has to cope with Alice and her 6 who are just as bad. I almost lost my hand feeding Alice yesterday lunchtime, she sees food and flies to it before you realise,she is savage :rofl:. Another wormer for her today I think,well actually she and Herbie are having Milbemax all else are up to date.
Few pics which should demonstrate the naughtiness and believe me my Yucca was glad to see the back of them. :rofl:
Look at Olly he should be setting a better example :rofl:
Little kittens charge up Baby Beas Pen to say Hello, no I`m kidding they are looking for food :rofl:
As for Wilbur What an angelic little scruff :Luv:
-
When the kittens come out to play Baby Bea lies in her Pen dumbfounded at the antics and confidence these little terrors show,poor girl also has to cope with Alice and her 6 who are just as bad.
I think Alice's lot are even worse. :shocked: Turn your back for a split second and they've climbed up the netting on the pens and are practically on the ceiling. :naughty: They've also perfected the pincer movement where they climb at opposite ends of the room and you don't know which way to turn for the best. :rofl:
No wonder Debbie and I failed on Sunday when T gave us the task of getting individual photos of the kittens for the Cat Chat and Paws Inn rehoming pages. Between us we must have taken about 400 shots and have probably got about 4 that are fit for purpose. :-[ Will post some of our attempts later when I have access to a decent computer.
-
Some photos as promised, including one Pixie who you will see is one of that new breed, the pedigree Pawsinner.

All waaaaaaay too cute! :blow kiss:
Charlie looks like he fits Tiggy's old nickname quite well 'scruff-buff-powder-puff' :evillaugh:

:heeee heeee:
Maybe you should get a few cyber-lessons in grooming from Gillian :naughty:

When Charlie was little I described him as the worlds ugliest kitten :rofl: in truth my boy has blossomed and he is so handsome now , his fur is really long and curly ,his eyes have grown into his face and he keeps himself so clean. In truth Charlie is beautiful and Carol, Debbie and Julie must all have faulty cameras :rofl: :rofl:
-
Charlie is my favourite. :)

Oh my goodness I should not have checked up on this thread! There's far too much cuteness on display and I don't think I can cope! And I think I'm a little bit in love with Charlie and Wilbur!
However I don't know if I have the room for any more....I'm currently sitting on the floor next to the sofa as it's been colonised by cats! We have our parents' cat staying over at the moment taking us up to five and as you can see they all get on rather well!
From left (on OH's legs) is Scruff my parents cat (and my forum namesake); Scrumpberry at the back who's a Paws Inn baby and sister to Scamp (was Blackberry at the Inn); Big fluffy one is Bear (another Paws Inner, was Bumty); Boy is middle is Scratchy; and last but not least Scamp is the one on the right with her mouth open (just finishing a yawn!). Jack Spratt you'll probably remember Scamp - She was known as Chico whilst at the Inn but turned out being a chiquita :evillaugh:
So glad to hear that all at the Inn are doing well :hug:

So many beautiful photos - love the Mum with eyeliner and her stunning kittens in the box :Luv:

I shouldnt look through this section of the Forums!! My heart strings cant take the tugs!! :-:
Once me and my Nuggie are feeling better about his big "brother" Tazi, I shall be rescuing him a new companion (if the grumpy old man will not give it a hard time!)
but aww so gorgeous!! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:

Thanks for the pics Teresa and Carol :hug:
I want Fred :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:

Sarah your brood look wonderful however I have spotted some space on the sofa definately room for 2 of the holy terrors :rofl:
Well Aunty Carol the mountaineering electrician came yesterday and I was forced into spending a couple of hours sitting comfortably in the cat pens supervising her work :rofl: :rofl: Carol kindly rewired an electric hotbed into Alice and kittens Pen and then balanced precariously on my stool in order to wire up one into the top Pen, job done and said hot plate was dangling mid air instead of sitting under the bedding, the cable was too short :rofl: poor Carol had to climb up and undo her work, think kittens enjoyed it they got to run riot everywhere for longer. In truth I need a proper electrician and a plumber both of course with builders bums to fit central heating and proper electricty to all the buildings, I can but dream :rofl:
All inmates are doing remarkably well and generally Paws Inn is a very happy place.

All adorable! :Luv: I love that top 'action shot' where he/she is swinging from the toy :evillaugh:

:wow: Julie you got some lovely individual shots of Alice's babies. :Luv2: I'm well impressed. Debbie and I could only manage blurs and bums as they ran us ragged. :evillaugh:
I've got a similar one of Sabrina playing with that toy - she obviously likes it.
-
Not sure what happen to this one so will try and put it on again.
-
Thanks Carol but I also had lots of blurs and bums lol.

:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Swooooon.......!!! Cuteness overload! Sabrina reminded me of the bellringing Monk - can't recall the advert, but am loving the photo. Loving all of the photos. Teresa, sending a big cuddle to you. What amazing evidence of your continued care of these beautiful beautiful furbabes. :wow:
-
Teresa, the website looks really great :wow: I have to admit I hadn't visited the website before :shy: but I've just read the story of Buster. What a lovely story. It brought tears to my eyes it did :)
Julie, great pics :Luv:
-
Some wonderful pictures there Julie; great action shots of the younger kittens killing all the Purrs shop valerian toys.
Hopefully I will copy the pic of Grasshopper as he is not on website.
alison pleased you enjoyed reading about Buster, he was very special.

Thankyou all praise to Helen and Carol, the really good news is that we have reserved 2 kittens as a result of all Helen and Carols hard work, Herbie and one of the black holy terrors possibly little Willy are set for pastures new next weekend. Not sure if I mentioned that GiGi is also reserved.
Julie and I have just finished yet another round of worming, it seems never ending, 14 kittens have just had milbemax.
We had a little good,. news on Thursday, the elusive stairlift has finally been approved so Olly should have his new park and ride in place for Christmas. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Talking of parking reminds me I ordered my new car on Thursday 7 seater again naturally , I mean the cats need to travel in comfort dont they :rofl: :rofl:
All cats/kittens fine.
-
I can just imagine you having the shift him off the stair lift whenever you want to use it. :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: I think Olly will believe all his "Kissmousies" have come at once. ;) :evillaugh:
Great news Teresa, and also very pleased about the stairlift :rofl: Whoever gets Herbie is in for a treat - he's a little smasher. :Luv:
-
Vet came on Wednesday and a total of 19 vaccinations were done with thankfully no bad effects. Poor GiGi was booked to go to her new home today but sadly her new mum ended up in hospital yesterday so she will be with us a while longer. Herbie and Pixie are off tomorrow but we have a new one coming in so more Pen juggling as Alice and her kittens need separating also.
Carol brought new hot beds yesterday with longer cables,all very posh,trouble is when she went to wire them the holes were not big enough to accomodate said cable, so husband has been asked to drill bigger holes and if he lets us down we will see how good Carol is
with electrical tools :rofl:
Julie has spent hours outside with her camera today and promises to post some pics which I am sure we will all look forward to.
Think thats all for now except to guarantee that the poop in auction is nothing to do with our cats :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Hi Teresa soooo sorry I haven't been on here for a while for some reason my computer hasn't been able to connect every time I tried to come into this thread :shify: :shify: but finally managed tonight ;D Wow just been catching up on all thats been happening at the Inn keeping extremely busy I see ;) :evillaugh: Glad to hear all the residents at the Inn are doing well :Luv: Alice and her Babies are soooooo gorgeous :Luv: :Luv: so pleased to hear that Herbie and Pixie are off to start a their new life tommorow :hug: Great news about the stair lift will make life a little easier for you :) loving all the pics great job ;D
Anyway I hope that you are doing well , myself , Fudgee n Ariel all sending you lots of :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Good news that Herbie and Pixie have lovely new home, shame about Gigi though. Hope the pen juggling has been successful and all are now settled into their new pens and that the cable problem has been sorted :)
-
Pleased to hear the vaccinations went OK, fingers crossed Herbie & Pixie will be in their new homes by now ;D Is GiGi going to wait for her new Mum or has it fallen through totally due to her ill health? She was picked ages ago so would be gutting for her to have to let GiGi go :(
-
Some pictures of Alice's kittens at playtime. Not sure if I got them all or maybe it was the same one they move so fast its hard to tell, Teresa will be able to tell you whos who I have trouble remembering my name never mind 6 kittens!

Lovely pics Julie and as always I'm impressed that you managed to get them to keep still for long enough. :rofl: My favourite is still the one with the teardrop/onion shape in her nose and forehead. I think she's Jemima but I could have dreamt that. :rofl:
My absolute favourite though is Charlie of the Holy Terrors (formerly bad hair day/ugliest kitten in the world). He has the sweetest temperament and just purrs form the minute he sees you. :Luv2: I was sooooooooooo tempted to pop him my bag the other day. :evillaugh:
-
Charlie has been in and out of my bag a few time lol
-
What a gorgeous little family! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Will they be ready for their own entries soon on the Paws Inn/CatChat website?

OK will briefly identify 1 of eack kitten by no of pic

1073=Jemima
1076=Alfie
1111=Archie
1058=Beau
1059=Dickybow bit like a treasure hunt :rofl:
Been a really busy day today 1 new kitten in,more about him later.
Delighted to report that Herbie along with Pixie and her twin Little Willie all went to their new home together, not often we manage a threesome so this has really lifted my mood :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Now onto todays arrival, poor Barnaby has been waiting for Pen space since Wednesday, he is about 15/16 weeks old and mighty glad to be here.
Am hoping that GiGi will still have her home when lady comes out of hospital.
Helen they are ready for own entries now, all had first vaccs and ready to go in pairs, must get Carol to start write ups.Just wondering if you can copy the pics you want from here.
-
Fab news about the triple rehoming, if only more people wanted three! :wow:
Teresa you are taunting me with Barnaby, you know how I feel about gingers :drool; How come he has ended up at Paws Inn at such a tender age?
Helen they are ready for own entries now, all had first vaccs and ready to go in pairs, must get Carol to start write ups.Just wondering if you can copy the pics you want from here.
OK great, I'll get cracking with temporary entries for them. I can use the pics from here that Julie has posted to get them started but as they're resized they're a tad on the small side. I've PM'd Julie to see if she might be able to email me the actual pics.
-
Helen Barnaby was found terrified near a pub last week,we think he is a farm kitten, we have been told that a gardener went to farm for 4 kittens,put them in his boot and when he got home half a mile away they all jumped out and ran off, it sounds more like they were dumped in Cheshire countryside to me, other 3 not seen since,time will tell. We didnt have space when lady rang a week ago so she hung onto him for us, his wormy belly is huge and I am a little concerned about a very minor head tremor but vet will check him out.
-
So pleased about the triple re-homing especially as it includes my faves, little Herbie and Willie :wow:
Barnaby is stunning - reminds me of Little MacBeenz MacSquee. :Luv2:
-
Alice's kittens are just gorgeous :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: And as for Barnaby :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Poor little Barnaby!
Alice's kittens are gorgeous. :Luv:
-
Hope all the babies at the Inn are being good. Is 1st December today, so the countdown to Santy Paws coming begins..... :shify:
Note to self: Must remember to tell MacSquee about "bein gud fer Santy"

Aunty Suepoo Paws Inn monsters are always good :rofl: Not sure if Santypaws will be coming :rofl:,pawcats keep being outbid at auction :rofl: they send :hug: to Macbeenz
Debbie kindly took me to vet with Sundays arrival Barnaby, we dont need to worry about his tremors so hes had first vaccinations, we were rather shocked that his weight is only 1.5kg,some of holy terrors are well over 2kg and more than a month younger than him.
Had 2 lots of updates on Sundays rehomings of Willy,Pixie and Herbie- all good.
-
They are all gorgeous, but Emily is a proper little beauty.
Great news 3 going to a new home. :)
-
Oh Blesss Barnaby - 'spect he'll be doing some catching up over the next few weeks ;) :hug: :hug:
Great news the latest re-homers are settling in so well. :wow: And good to know Paws Inn residents are always good (hmm - the holy terrors? :evillaugh:) Can't have Santy Paws not coming, can we? :)
-
Helen has kindly updated the website for us, please take a look at the lovliest felines.

Oh my word!! What a gorgeous bunch....Charlie is amazing! I can't believe that Fontaine, Chelsea and Noodles have been with you so long....madness.
-
Fred :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: If only I was rich :(
-
Well just taken a call thats so heartbreaking and now I am sitting here waiting for someone to ring me as I need some help, lady could hear crying and found dead kitten in her garden she assumed that was end of it, now theres more crying and at least 1 kitten trapped under her shed/fence, she thinks they have been dumped from road and become trapped,looks like first one has starved to death. I need new lungs, new joints and a bloomin miracle,poor poor kitten I will do my best.
-
Oh Teresa. Hoping someone can help you out with this, so the kittens can be found and what can be done is done for them. Poor little mites. :hug: :hug:
-
Really hope you can find someone close enough to help. That's so sad. :(
-
Heartbreaking........ :'( :'(
-
Hope you can rally the troops Aunty T and get on the rescue mission
Aunty T you do the best thing in the world you are the human radiator with a bottle in one hand and calming thoughts all around :hug: :hug:
-
I hope you manage to find some help :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I am at home if I can help but I have no car its still in the garage, so will need someone to pick me up.

only just seen this :thanks: Julie
rob and I been out trying to trap kitten all afternoon without success,its freezing out there and windy. Spoke to a neighbour who saw dead kitten yesterday and she said a lot suddenly made sense.A few weeks previously a woman had been knocking on doors claiming to look for kittens she had seen Yobs fling from a car,the people thought she was up to no good!! its a posh area.Yesterday when 1st body found they realised woman had been genuine.
Anyway I have spotted kitten twice we are certain its black but not sure if its 1 or 2 kittens because in one position it looked 9weeks ish then it looked bigger.It was crying loudly though,so distressing.Its not trapped just very difficult to get trap near enough.
The garden backs on to a horrendously busy road and I am worried sick, so worried I have broken my own rules and left trap set,though to be fair it is secure, am going back later to try again simply must catch her/him
Yesterday I felt so good,we had won the save a life draw with the late Busters ticket and then put the money towards our winning auction bid the kitty scratching post,today I feel so ashamed to be human and so heartbroken for these kittens.
-

You cannot take on the burdon of shame of the whole human race but I know what you mean. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Sorry I wasn't able to help today and such a pity that the neighbour didn't believe the lady who saw the kittens dumped. :(
I have everything crossed for a successful outcome to this tragic situation but if you don't suceed in catching the kitten I know it wont be for the want of trying. You are a star. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa walk away fromthe wonderwoman outfit, leaving a trap isn't so bad surely the homeowner can check it for all your trouble not so much to ask
Sometimes we can't help them all despite wanting to save them all, I have 4 traps set and will check after I have sorted out the clan can't be in 4 places at once can only hope something goes in the traps and will deal accordingly
Also we can't be held responsible for the folks who do this kind of thing we can only try and help with the mess they cause
Sending good trapping vibes from my traps to yours xx
-
Wise words from Carol and Liz, Teresa. :hug: :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
Can only echo what the others have said :hug: Really hope you can catch this poor baby :hug:
-
Back home , no kitten and freezing cold,infact we didnt even see kitten tonight, theres always tomorrow if I can get a helper as Rob cannot afford to take another day off. At least we have left lots of food in trap and man is going to spring it at midnight, he will of course ring if kitten is trapped before.
-
Nothing here either T and its Minus 4 currently and am leaving my last check till midnight to so if we both aren't successful tonight tomorrow is another day and me I will be wearing my thermals
Sending good trapping vibes from all of us here at the Clan :hug:
-
Liz I never had a wonderwoman outfit but I have my thermal vest on. Am not overly concerned about cold with kitten as she/he is under shed and decking so probably much warmer than me :rofl:
I think we need putting in the lunatic assylum, I mean freezing ones butt off,going without food,worrying oneself sick and what for so the little darlings can bite and scratch us when caught :rofl:
-
Teresa, I'm sure there are a lot of kitties out there that if they could talk would say you are Wonder woman to them :hug: :hug: :hug:
Good luck with trapping the kitten(s) today.
-
Nothing here overnight and I checked my traps in a blizzard, yup we are mad Aunty T but the end result is rewarding my poppet only has 2 more days as we are forcast heavy snow on Friday so can only hope they/it goes in the trap in the next 2 days as its only 2 fields away as the crow flies it can work out there is food and warmth up here so the outside ferals are eating lots of smelly fish food :shocked:
-
Fingers crossed for you too Liz.
-
Topping up the good wishes Teresa,keep warm.x
-
Kitten is safe, dont know where I will put her/him as no room at the Inn.
Currently in my living room in a crush cage very wild and howling for England. Vet appointment at 4.50 today.
I cant explain how very relieved and happy I feel.
Thankyou all so much for your good wishes.
-
Well done T. :hug: :hug: Wish I had some suggestions as to where you can put him/her but as you say - no room at the Inn. :(
Maybe Helen (Tiggy's mum) will read this and offer to take Barnaby off your hands. :naughty:
-
Well done Aunty T seems your get on the trap vibes are working better than mine still nothing so have moved 2 out of the 4 traps nearer home as I saw a pair of eyes last night when I was shutting the traps down, know it wasn't one of mine as all the Clan cats were in and the outside crew were all sniggled enmasse on the heat pads when I stuck the torch in
My only suggestion a large dog crate, if I catch anything the guest ensuite will be back in use :shocked:
-
Well done T. ;) :hug: :hug: Hope he can be found a place somewhere.
-
I guess it wouldnt be Christmas without a large collapsible Pen in my living room :rofl: Back from vets and My Boy has had antibiotic jab for ulcerated mouth, vet checked leg for me and says there is trauma to it but thankfully not broken. I have spent all afternoon handling and calming this little one in order to save vets fingers :rofl: he is not feral the story of him being thrown into garden a couple of weeks ago makes sense.Age 8-9weeks weight 0.6kg.
Heres a couple of pics isnt he gorgeous.
-
Awww bless him and bless you T :hug: :hug:
-
He is gorgeous and so my type of gorgeous black kitten and the pen will be so useful as a coffee table :rofl:
-
Just caught up with this. It certainly sounds like you are wonder woman to me.
It's horrifying to think someone could do that to a poor defenceless creature.
He certainly is a gorgeous little mite!
-
What a tiny little beauty! :Luv2: :Luv2: Thank God you've got him, T :hug: :hug:
-
So pleased you managed to save him ;D :hug: Really hope a special 5 star home can be found for him to make up for his appalling start to life :care:
-
So pleased you managed to trap him and he is now safe at the Inn :)
-
What a relief, well done and hope your new inmate settles in quickly :Luv2:
-
He's beautiful Teresa. Looks like a fiesty little un. :) :hug:
-
Wonder woman strikes again :wow: Well done Teresa :hug: Your new arrival looks like a little poppet :Luv: :Luv:
-
Don't get on here so much at the moment but had to check in to see what had happened with this little one and so pleased he is safe in your care now T. He is absolutely gorgeous and thank goodness no major harm done. :censored: to the people who threw them away like rubbish.
Liz hope you have success with your traps too :hug:
-
Isn't he a little love. :Luv:
-
Little Newboy is much more relaxed today and he gave Debbie a special treat - the first PURR, I got the first tummy tickle though.
He generally greets people with a hiss but he is pleased that he now has a name - Winston, he has a warm bed,a full tummy and 3 friends to cuddle him. hopefully tomorrow he will have a Christmas tree; yes I have told Winston he will never be hurt again and will want for nothing.He has used his litter tray ,just needed a little soil to start him off. He is so very special just wish with all my heart that his littermate had survived.
-
Ah Teresa, miracles do happen, especially at this time of year, and you worked another one getting this little chap safe. It's so sad about his littermate, but he or she is at least not forgotten, and hasn't passed without being mourned.
And I think Winston is a very splendid name for the little feller. :) Especially if he's gonna get a Christmas tree ;D Anna warm bed. Anna full tum. An'free frends! :wow:
How good is that from the beginning of the week? :hug: :hug:
-
Pleased the gorgeous Winston seems to be settling in well :Luv2: It is so very sad about his littermate but if the lady who phoned you had not found it's poor little body Winston may well have met with the same fate as well :( :hug:
-
I have told Winston he will never be hurt again and will want for nothing.
Aww Teresa, that brought a tear to my eye :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Winston is a lucky lad :)
-
I have told Winston he will never be hurt again and will want for nothing.
Aww Teresa, that brought a tear to my eye :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Winston is a lucky lad :)
Totally agree Teresa :hug: :hug:
-
Winston has been playing today, you can quite clearly see just how good he is at batting his ball.
The postman brought a special toy and some dreamies from someone wonderful, we think they came from Milton K so thankyou Aunty Helen, Winston has been playing with the toy and dreamies saved for older kittens. Will get pics when I can.
Winston also found out he has another wonderful friend, Aunty Francis came to meet him, he looks so much happier though he can still hiss.
-
So lovely to see him playing like a little kitten should :) Not guilty on the toy front, although I may have slipped the Dreamies in by accident :naughty: Sending you a PM...
-
:wow: Look at his little face! That really warms the heart. :)
-
Aww, just look at him :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Thanks for the pics Teresa :)
-
Think I must have caught a bit of a chill when out trapping but somehow Winston has his Christmas tree complete with lights. He really is a darling boy,greets you with a hiss and shouts like crazy if he wants something :rofl:
Finally got news on Olly`s Christmas present his park and ride system more commonly known as stair lift,work will be completed within 30 days :rofl: :rofl: considering we`ve waited since May ... :rofl:
I am hoping that 6 of the kittens will be in new homes before Christmas, homing is generally finished now till January but I have 3 carefully selected couples booked to come over the weekend each wanting pairs and of course we are hoping Gigi`s new owner will soon be well enough to take her so that could be 7 lucky ones.
-
Fab news about Olly's park and ride, and bet Winston is so made up with his new tree and bauble. :evillaugh:
Hope everything goes really well with the re-homing - you have so many beauties to choose from, and one rather special little oddball who I've always loved bless his heart, and who is I feel uber beautiful. :Luv2:
I didn't speed read the bit about you having caught a chill. Oh no - I see'd that bit, good and proper. :shocked: I was gonna give you the old waggley finger, but realised it would be no use, so instead I asked MacBeenz what to do and he says "Squeeeewheeeewheeeewheeeee Annie T!!!" Got that? :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Think I better own up and say that 2 of the kittens being viewed are Bad hair day Charlie and cannibal Fred, I have already broken the news to Julie,the lady who wants them adopted the dreaded Vanity, now Vanity was here 8 years yes 8 whole years as she had such an attitude problem, now 18years old Vanity is deaf and a lovely girl and as Vanity is grey I know the boys will blend in purrfectly :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: I had a sneaky feeling...... :Luv: Well, all I can say is i don't think she'll go wrong with those two - as long as they respect their elders and betters (poor Vanity - she won't know what hit her! It'll be like transporting her back to her younger days....)
-
Oooh fingers crossed for lots of successful rehomings. :yesss: :yesss: :yesss: Charlie is such a gentle soul he'll be fine with Vanity - not sure about Fred though - there's no telling what he might want to do. :evillaugh: :naughty:
Hope you have somebody to help when the couples come - don't want you going out in the cold again. :hug: Sending lots of go away nasty chill vibes from me and Biggles and from Bunty who has just had a swing from the chandelier-type light fitting in the lounge. :rofl:
Stair lift - hmmmmmmmmmm 30 days doesn't sound promising for before Christmas then but a big improvement on 'could take 6 months'
-
I can confirm that Winston is another Paws charmer :Luv: . He not only has ball-batting skills, he can also bunny-kick a small cube into submission.
-
Fingers crossed for the viewings, you seem to do very well with repeat rehomings. On that note...
I can confirm that Winston is another Paws charmer :Luv: . He not only has ball-batting skills, he can also bunny-kick a small cube into submission.
Are you tempted to make it a Paws Inn trio Frances? :naughty:

Young Winston has been to the vets today as he doesn`t want to eat anything, he`s had another anti-biotic injection and been given sensitivity diet as vet said kitten food is too rich and causes toxicity malnourished kittens. No temp, nice solid poop and he is playing but we are syringing lectade to make sure he doesnt dehydrate.
Good news 4 kittens have been reserved, Dickybow and Emily are off tomorrow and then Charlie and Fred later in the week.
-
Sending a big :hug: for Winston and lots of 'eat your food so you'll grow up big and strong' vibes.
Well done on the re-homing. I'll try to get over and say my farewells to the lovely Charlie before he leaves. :Luv2:
Hope your chill is better T and you're keeping warm and snug - althoughit doesn't sound like it with vet visits. :hug:
-
:hug: for Winston. Hope he starts eating again soon.

:get well: Winston :care:
Good news about the four little ones who will be in their new homes in time for Christmas :)
-
I was disgusted with a couple who came today, I had wasted time doing homecheck etc because they said they were interested in 2 of my holy terrors Fifi and Big Harry, both black, Debbie took them out to view only to be told they wanted the greys or tabbies,they refused to look at the others and so left empty handed, good riddance I say.
Barnaby went to his new home as did Emily and Dickybow so thats 3 less, thought I had emptied a Pen but within haf an hour it was occupied by a kitten approx 15-16 weeks old,she has the biggest hernia I have ever seen and appears uncomfortable with it so yet another trip to the vet tomorrow.
Young Winston is eating again, very small meals but enough to stop us worrying; his favourite place seems to be lay on a human chest paddy pawing,he really is special.
Debbie has spent hours out playing with all the inmates and even had Chelsea sat on her knee purring. All in all a good day.
-
:bum: to the couple who messed you about. Why can't people be up front about what they want instead of stringing you along and wasting youir time and effort. >:(
I didn't think Barnaby would hang around for long bless him. :Luv2:
Hope the vet can do something to make the new the kitten more comfortable. Sending her and Winston lots of these :cuddle: :cuddle: :cuddle: and not forgetting :hug: :hug: :hug: for you T.
-
Aw, Barnaby got his Forever home too....! :wow:
Shame about the couple with the grays/tabbies wish list. Poor Fifi and Big Harry. Very sad for them, but then I hope they get someone absolutely terrific to take them home.
Sending gentle ear rubs for Young Winston, and also for the new pud with the hernia. Poor little scrap.
Meanwhile, sending lots of hugs for you Aunty T. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So annoying when people mess you about >:( our homing officer has had a lot of that lately and it is such a waste of your valuable and limited time. Certainly not the right type of people to be honoured with a Paws Inn babe.
Great news about the homes but sad about the little one with the hernia, hope the vet can sort her out and make her more comfy.
Very glad to hear Young Winston is eating again, sending him gentle snuzzles and Luna says he needs to eat up his fud to get big and strong like she did when she was a very little baby and had lost her mummy. She also confirms that sitting on chests paddling is "da bestest fing ever for making you feel better" :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
New girl now called Ellie has been kept in vets for operation tomorrow, we were right about hernia which vet says is life threatening as her intestine is popping out, just a shame we cant spay her at same time but she hasnt done her time with us as so we need to exercise caution.
Winston making great progress and has just done enormous poop :rofl:
All else well.
-
Keeping my fingers crossed for Ellie.
Yay for enormous poop and boo for cat racists.
-
Sending lots of positive vibes for Ellie. :hug: Good job she found her way to Paws Inn.
Glad to see that Winston is improving. :hug:
-
Good job Barnaby has found a new home as have been torturing myself with wanting to give him a home then all the reasons why it's not practical for me to adopt him!
Hope little Ellie's op goes OK :care:
boo for cat racists.
Boo indeed!
-
Sending tons and oodles of positive vibes for Ellie's op today. :hug: :hug:
And well done young Winston. ;)
-
Also sending lots of positive vibes for little Ellie :hug:
-
Fingers crossed everything goes well for Ellie :hug:
Good job Barnaby has found a new home as have been torturing myself with wanting to give him a home then all the reasons why it's not practical for me to adopt him!
Glad I am not the only one Helen, all these gorgeous black and white cats are making me miss mine, who's name incidentally was Ellie :Luv:
-
Any word on Ellie, Teresa? :hug:
-
Ellie is home and fine after having the repair job, she is much more attractive without the gigantic lump hanging down and far more comfortable,vet said she was in pain before due to bruising ;she is a very sweet natured girl but the demon from hell when she spots another cat.Will try and dump the camera with some poor unsuspecting soul think aunty Carol is coming today :rofl:
I must carry on with the very hard work of cuddling Winston :rofl: if he doesnt get enough cuddles or food for that matter he sings :rofl:
Holy Terrors are living up to their names and creating chaos, good job the 2 greys are off on saturday.
Alice and Baby Bea are in for spay and microchip tomorrow and Alices kittens are in for 2nd half vaccination so a busy day for poor Debbie as she has to do vet run after work with me in tow and as I said to her on monday I make harder work than any kitten :rofl:
-
Such good news about Ellie. :Luv: Good luck to Aunty Carol :evillaugh:
Yes, mustn't stop the cuddling, Aunty T. Very 'portunt wurk dat. ;) :Luv2:
-
I got a pressie today
-
life is gud
love
Winstonx
-
:wow: :wow: Oh Winston - wot a wunnerful prezzie - an juss' fer yoo! ;D Cor - is juss the rite size an everryfink! ;) :hug: Hansum lil lad. :Luv2:
-
Lucky Winston ;D He looks like he's having a fab time with his new pressie :) And doesn't he pose for the camera well :Luv: :Luv:
-
fabulous pics.....he's a little stunner! :Luv2: Glad Ellie is ok ! :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
-
Isn't he just gorgeous? :Luv:
-
He is just beautiful and such a poser!!
-
What a lucky, not to mention beautiful little boy :Luv2: Glad Ellie's op went OK and :luck: for Alice and Baby Bea tomorrow
-
Oh Winston is a stunner. Glad Ellie is ok after her op and good luck to Alice and Baby Bea for tomorrow xx
-
Its lovely that Winston has so many admirers, he is very special .
Here are some pics that Carol took this afternoon. Ellie is very bright considering all shes been through, next stop to wash those mucky ears.
-
Everybody knows I love black cats but Winston really is something special. :Luv2: He is clearly besotted with his mumT - as he should be. Clever boy Winston.
Ellie is gorgeous and extremely friendly - purrs, headbutts the lot. I love how she puts her head on one side like in that first pic. She's also very inquisitive so it was quite difficult photographing her as she kept sticking her face into the camera lens. :rofl:
Holy terrors showing no signs of reforming their ways - let them out and the first thing Big H did was run up to Baby Bea's pen, stick a paw through the mesh and pull her unfinished bowl of food towards him. He was then joined by most of his litter mates who took their turn at sticking a paw in her food and stealing a bit. She seemed to welcome the attention and reciprocated by sticking her paw out through the mesh at them. :rofl: She gets more beautiful every time I see her. :Luv2:
Alice's babies are still move like grease lightening - one day I might get a picture of them that has heads and faces in it rather than retreating bottoms. :rofl:
-
It sounds to me like Young Winston is a very sensible young cat. :)
Baby Bea is looking just gorgeous - she has a very certain something about her, does she not - a real glamour puss - a sort of Hedy Lamarr of the cat world (for anyone too young to remember - google her - she was a stunning beauty)
Ellie has a delightful little face. ;D
As for the Holy Terrors, well...... :innocent: :innocent: :evillaugh:
Beautiful photos to start off my day.
Sending much love to all at The Inn, and especial snoozles for Alice and Baby Bea today. :hug: :hug:
-
Oh my goodness, just look at Baby Bea :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
But I have to say I've just lost my heart to little Ellie :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: She reminds me so much of my beloved Lily.
-

You definitely hit the nail on the head there Sue :)
-
Sue and Alison if you could actually feel Babybea`s fur you would be amazed, the most beautiful I have ever felt even more so than a bengal.
Silly really but I am worried about Babybea and Alice,not picking them up until 5.10pm as Debbie is taking me and Alices`s kittens for 2nd vaccine so will collect the other 2 at same time.
We finally have decent electricity down in summerhouse, not just heating but lighting too,Rob finally finished the work this morning before he went to work. A very special :thanks: to Aunty Carol for providing Artic cable.
Talking of :thanks: the cats received a parcel of food,treats,toys and post from Lu and Riley and of course Helen this morning :hug: Its the unexpected acts of pure kindness and thoughtfulness that help us to keep going and of course make life happier for the cats, so thankyou from the bottom of my heart :hug: :hug:
-
I hope Alice and Baby Bea are back from the vets having a nosh and a well earned rest and that Baby Bea wasn't too stresssed by the experience. :hug: :hug:
-
I hope Alice and Baby Bea are back from the vets having a nosh and a well earned rest and that Baby Bea wasn't too stresssed by the experience. :hug: :hug:
Both doing well and BabyBea as beautiful as ever apart from bald patch, funny Debbie and I were quite sad that her beauty had been tarnished by shaving yet we never even noticed Alices patch.Both now microchipped and all Alices kittens had 2nd vacc.
Winston and Ellie both well.
All others well.
-
Ah, her beauty's more than skin deep T - it'll grow back as luxuriant as before ;) Am so glad it went well for her and Alice. :)
-
Teresa, so glad to hear all went well for Alice and BabyBea :) About what age is Ellie do you think? I really can't stop looking at her and right now I'm so glad that she is too far away for me to visit ;)
-

Ellie is a 15 week old kitten,her picture makes her look a bit older but she a baby.

Thanks Teresa. It's difficult to judge size in photos sometimes. Ellie really does tug at my heartstrings :Luv: :Luv:

I wish I could stop pondering just how long it would take me to get to Paws Inn :shify: Every time I come to Purrs I have to go and look at Ellie's pic :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Hahahaha! Bless him, beautiful boy :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
As well as investigating the interesting packages under the tree I see Winston has also been having a look at Purrs ;D
-
I just :Luv2: Winston.
Allison - Ellie hates other cats so I think the distance between you and Paws inn is academic. She loves humans though. :Luv2:
I hope Alice and Baby Bea are bioth fine today.
Do you have snow T? We have.
-
Part 2
-
Thanks Carol. Oh well, that's the end of that little daydream then :( :(
I actually did check out how long it would take me to get there by train - 2hrs 45 mins apparently.
-
Guess who these pics are for
-
Oh Teresa, thank you :hug: :hug: :hug: I looked at those and my heart did a little skip. I can't explain what it is about Ellie because I've seen other kitties that look like Lily :-:
-
Lovely lovely piccies Aunt T - good to see Yuong Winston is "investigguratin' all der stuff" as dear old Pad would've said.
Allison - :hug: I know. Sometimes there's always a very special one that just sneaks off with your heart. Like Joonyer Offisur Ripley, for one. ;)
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I just wanted to share this pic of Lily with you. She was about the same age as Ellie when it was taken. Don't you think they could be twins :Luv2: :Luv2:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v615/JacksWench1/Cats/Lily2-2003.jpg)
-
Wow, Allison, I can definitely see why you keep coming back to Ellie, she's a ringer for the beautiful Lily, and its also freaky that her name is almost an anagram of Lily too. :Crazy: :hug:
-
I know Sheila. It's really spooky how similar they are, even down to their markings on the face, legs and body. If only eh? :(
-
A busy day with 4 kittens reserved to go to new homes after Christmas, Beau is to go with Jemima and Archie and Alfie will stay together.
Sadly the home I had spent a lot of time checking out for their mum Alice has fallen through,people phoned me half an hour before they were due to say Cats protection were able to deliver one,kinda makes getting a cat sound like grocery shopping :rofl: I intend to buy a fresh turkey crown for the Paws Inn cats Christmas dinner and no I dont need delivery, will go in my wheelchair :rofl: :rofl:
Alison I wish I could put Ellie under your tree :hug: :hug:
-
Alison I wish I could put Ellie under your tree :hug: :hug:
Aww Teresa that's so sweet of you :hug: :hug: :hug: I still keep looking at Ellie and several times it's brought tears to my eyes. Of course I've always been of the opinion that you shouldn't get another cat just because it reminds you of one you've lost but when I look at Ellie something just seems to call to me. That sounds a bit stupid I know. :-:
-
Ellie is gorgeous, lovely markings. Allison if somethings calling you, its meant to be. :)
I had a home delivery of Poppy and Charlie from Lesley.lol
I collected Wordy, I felt like I was stealing him from her, he is her little cuddler.
Nicky
-
I could have sworn I replied to this thread yesterday. Must have imagined it.
Good news about Alice's kittens but shame about Alice. I was so hoping she would be in her forever home for Christmas but I'm sure she'll enjoy the Paws Inn turkey - as will all the other cats and kittens. I hope they appreciate all the trouble you're going to T.
Did Charlie and Fred go this weekend as planned? I hope so.
-
Well Carol - I just posted and it went "poof" in front of me very eyes!!! :shify: :shify:
I was just saying, just saying like, afore I was interrupted by technology, not many more sleeps until turkey time now boys and girls. ;D
Hoping all is good at The Inn this morning, and sending snoozles to all (miinus the smilie this time, as they seem to cause me no end of trubble these days with disappearing posts!!)
-
What a shame for Alice! Fingers crossed something better turns up for her soon.
-
We had the evening from hell yesterday and its getting worse as the day goes on. Someone posted a picture of one of the Paws Inn kitties on Facebook without permission and without my knowledge and it has caused serious problems.
For the record I do not use Facebook and no one has permission to reproduce pics of my cats without permission.
-
:doh: :hug:
Am not a Facebook fan, I must admit, and don't have an account. Hope this settles down, Teresa.
-
I personally use FB a lot and it's helped with a fair few appeals and transport runs. But I'm sorry it's caused trouble for you Teresa. How has it done that?
As always, the cats are stunners. :)
-
Im on FB but dont remember seeing a paws pud on there. Whats happened? Hope things are sorted out
love

Sorry I should have said that the picture was posted by someone well meaning, it has however caused immense distress and work.

Don't do Facebook so don't know what's going on but sounds like some of these are needed. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Sorry about the extra work :hug:
-
On a brighter note Winston is tucking in to his favourite supper Lemon chicken without the lemon :rofl: We have also been able to bring in a very needy black/white adult who has been put in an industrial bin every night and thankfully rescued each morning,another couple of days and there would have been no one to rescue her.
This world sickens me more everyday.
-
Put in a bin every night? How odd. Glad she's with you now.
-
Oh Teresa. Sometimes the world is bleak. But, for that little black and white girl, it's a whole lot brighter today. :hug: :hug:
Glad to hear Winston is tucking in to his Lemon Chicken Without the Lemon :evillaugh:
-
It never ceases to surprise and disgust me how some humans seem completely incapable of empathy. The poor girl :( Hope she is OK Teresa.
Thankfully she is now with a human whose empathy skills are very strong indeed :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
The poor baby :( Hope she's settling in OK and realises she's safe now :hug:
-
The poor baby :( Hope she's settling in OK and realises she's safe now :hug:
Megan is enjoying being in the warmth and having the luxury of underbed heating. She is hissy when first approached which is understandable after all she has endured, once contact is made she is an affectionate lovable girl. She has eaten well and used her litter tray,will try to get pics at weekend.I gave her a Purrs valerian nip last night she went beserk not suprised have you smelt them, I am sure Tan must be using all my husbands filthy socks to stuff them :rofl: :rofl:
A brief note to say that Ellie has been returned to her owner,cant comment as its a public forum.
The fantastic kitty scratching post which we won at auction arrived today,when it has been made up it is going into summerhouse as little princess Dainty needs it most, Dainty is the 1 year old with brain storage disease. Originally it was going to be for Alices 6 kittens but they all have homes to go to after Christmas.
Winston wants to know when his turkey is coming :rofl:
I did a silly thing yesterday evening,when I went food shopping,Rob was pushing me around in my wheelchair and I felt so upset about things . I bought a big turkey crown, a huge pork joint and every luxury I could find, wonderful I hear you say,trouble is I cant stand at the cooker long enough to manage a simple snack, I guess I will have to find hidden strength :rofl: I am so weary of being like this.
Ollys park and ride system wont be installed for Christmas but we have been told 3rd January is installation day guess we can soldier on until then :rofl:
-
:hug: :hug:
Sending Sleigh-loads of secret srengff for you Aunty T (though I think you already possess it in abundance) and trusting Winston won't have too much longer to wait for his turkey treat. :)
Great that Alice's kittens all have homes to go to, and that Dainty will have her new scratching post to play on. ;D
-
Hi all,
Haven't been on this thread for over a month due to silly work commitments!
Gosh - as ever it's been a busy Inn hasn't it?!? It goes without saying that Winston is beyond gorgeous and is indeed a very special little chap! So heartbreaking to hear about his sibling though :(
Glad to hear that there's been a few rehomings but what a shame about the time wasters and those who expect their new fur babies couriered :Crazy:
S x
PS T - I have a FaceBook account and if there's anything I can do to help then let me know.x
-
I think I'd get on with Winston. I like my lemon chicken the exact same way!
-
Been a busy day today, we had electrician here this morning wiring 2 smoke alarms and wiring up everything in readiness for Ollys park and ride (stair lift) I had intended asking electrician to repair a damaged socket in the cats room but didnt dare when he told me he was cat allergic and shouldnt have been sent here, anyway he phoned in to say he was going off sick as soon as he had finished here, he didnt seem to be suffering :rofl: unlike poor Olly who was like a drowned rat when he came in.
Megan is eating enough to feed a dog I kid you not, anyway she is looking like a new cat already.
Think we have the cats Christmas presents sorted thanks to the wonderful generosity of some lovely people, cant say too much now in case the cats find out what they are having :rofl: Winston keeps asking if its turkey time yet as he has been told no more lemon chicken till next year :rofl: :rofl:
All cats happy and well
-
I gave her a Purrs valerian nip last night she went beserk not suprised have you smelt them, I am sure Tan must be using all my husbands filthy socks to stuff them :rofl: :rofl:
:evillaugh: :hug:
-
:shify: Hey Young Winston - not too many more tsleeps now and t'will be turkey time! :wow: ;) :evillaugh:
Hope Megan's enjoying her Valerian. :)
-
Just popping in with best wishes for all at Paws Inn. I hope all is calm and bright.
:merry xmas:
Just checked my post and I'd actually typed pooping :rofl:
-
Dear Santa
I know this letter is a ickle bit late but please could you make big exception and send me more turkey, my human has told me I am stuffed and so no more, but I have just pooped in my tray to make more room in my tummy :rofl:
I love Christmas, wow Aunty Jigi sent me a super bed and I have had lots of toys from lovely people, can it be Christmas every day please .
The turkey is urgent I am addicted
love
Winston xx
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Dear Winston
Santa is on holiday now so we are replying on his behalf. Its good to know that you enjoyed your turkey and you deserve it you really do. But before asking for more please spare a thought for some of the ex-Paws-Inn kitties who have to gone to homes where there has been no turkey this Christmas - well, just a teensy weensy little bit in a doggy bag of all things. :shocked:
You also deserve your toys and your lovely new bed but here again we feel duty bound to point out that you should count your blessings because there are two ex-Paws Inn kitties who were left alone in the cold and dark on Christmas day with only one bed between them.
With love from
Bunty and Biggles
PS Can we comes back Aunty T - we is being neglected here
-
Ahh Winston, I would send you Turkey if I had some spare, but I have 2 addicted boys, little Wordy is a Turkey fiend, and his Daddy is addicted too.
I made such a good job of cooking it, even Poppy wanted some, straight off the bone!!
Next year, wherever you are being spoiled make sure Aunty T tells the people to buy you your own Turkey.
Love Nicky x
NO you can't have it its mine all mine. :P
Wordywoo.
-
Glad to hear Christmas at Paws Inn was filled with turkey - even if most of it was in Winston. :evillaugh:
Sending love to all today. :Luv:
-
Ello Biggles and Bunty and Nicky
I wanted to send you some pictures of my lovely turkey but its all in mez tummy :rofl: so eres some other pics, I ope aunty Jiji is impressed wiz the one in mez bed.
Now Biggles and Bunty wen you were at the Inn our human gave you a crash course on oceaneering and fishing you dont need turkey :rofl: be thankful you ave each other to keep warm, I iz all alone so I ope Aunty T is more thorough with vetting my new owner :rofl: :rofl: especially as someone coming to meet me at 11.30 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fink I need to hide in mez bed and keep very quiet then they choose somecat else :rofl:
love
Winstonx
I think we all know that aunty Carol is Purrfect :hug: Winston can get overexcited :rofl: Yesterday evening Alfie and Archie went to their new home,they have been promised some left over turkey. Today Jemima and Beau are off to their home,we dont usually let them go until after New Year but these are very carefully checked Christmas homes.
Yes someone is coming to view Winston but he is not yet vaccinated so will be here a while longer, I am secretly hoping they will fall for one of holy terrors.
Will have to try and go to vet tomorrow as new girl Megan`s mouth needs checking, will probably also get Winston vaccinated.
Dainty and friends were thrilled with their Kitty scratching post which we won at auction,they`ve almost pulled it apart :rofl:
Think Julie has taken lots of pics of cats with their Christmas toys which she will post when she can.
-
Oh Aunty T!!!! :wow: :evillaugh: :Luv2:
What fabulous piccies!!!! ;D
-
Thanks for the pics Teresa, so pleased he likes his new bed :) and wonderful news that someone has been to see him ;D
-
Just had a lovely email with pictures of course,many will remember Jem and Gem born here 3 years ago, I know Liz Clan cats will.
So I proudly show off these now beautiful cats, many of you may remember the joke thread we did saying Minimopsical had given birth because their mum was the image of our beloved Minimopsical.
http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,18977.msg323582.html#msg323582
Hope I have done link right it should take you to an old thread called Newsabout Minimopsical, I dont think weve ever had a funnier thread.
-
Winston, you might be lucky and Aunty T may have Turkey for New Year. :)
He is very handsome Teresa, hope the rehoming is good for you.
Nicky
-
Aw Teresa!!!! Lovely pics. :Luv2:
-
Oh Aunty T that has bought a happy tear to my eye I remember the Jem and Gem and the thread has bought laughter and tears so glas theya re continuing the Paws Inn tradition with wonderful owners
I think I may have to kidnap the young Winston he is just like our toerag at that age
Sending all our love, hisses, purrs and woofs to all at the Inn ;D
-
Merry Christmas to all at the Inn.
Jem and Gem have certainly grown. Lovely to see them to happy. :Luv:
-
Thanks for the pics Teresa, so pleased he likes his new bed :) and wonderful news that someone has been to see him ;D
Jiji he loves his bed. The clever boy behaved just as expected when the lady came to see him and so he gets to stay here for now :rofl: one of remaining holy terrors is to get the home he would have had.
As for New Year turkey Nickynoo no way, I have never in my life come across such a greedy turkey addict and everytime I have food he assumes its turkey and starts shouting turkey turkey turkey :rofl: I do not celebrate N. Year infact I find it very distressing but I will give Winston a Milbemax in lieu of more turkey :evillaugh:
-
I muste admit I'm not the biggest fan of New Years Eve and all the fuss, i find it sad and reflect on things I shouldn't.
This year I'm going to try and see all the positive from this past year. Moving into our new home and adding little Wordy to our family. :Luv2:
I think I have the biggest Turkey addict, he stands on the work top with his front paws on the open fridge door, and yowls for turrrrkeyyyyyyyyyyy.
He will be going cold turkey soon as its nearly all gone. :rofl:
I'm sure he now recognise the word Turkey, shame he doesn't know NO! :evillaugh:
Well done for the holy terror rehoming, little Winston knows where he is well off.
Nicky
-
Am another one who shies away from New Year celebrations - find them sad and distressing too for the main part. I prefer to slink off to bed after the chimes (would go before but OH is a Scot, and insists on staying up until after midnight).
Clever Winston. ;)
-
Some of the Paws Inn cats/kittens playing with their Christmas toys.
-
And more
-
;D ;D :evillaugh: Delightful Aunty T. Just delightful. All those little black bottoms turned towards the camera. :Luv:
-
And more
-
Aww, bless! They look like they're having fun :Luv:
-
Aww, what lovely pics, so glad to hear that the Inn is a happy place at the moment :hug:
Excellent news about the recent rehomings and excellent news that Winston might have a new forever home lined up already although he's such a handsome little chap I'm not surprised in the least :hug:
Best wishes to all for 2012,
S.
-
There seems to be confusion about Winston.He does NOT have a home to go to yet. Debbie and Carol took the brave chap for his first vaccinations yesterday, hes fine and as a reward for reaching 1kg he will received milbemax on Saturday :evillaugh:
Megan was also taken to vet,thankfully she is not pregnant but has been given some injections for a couple of problems.
-
You can post him down to me if you like, he is just the perfect shade of black. :Luv:
-
Locely to see them all having so much fun :)
-
Aww, don't worry about Winston, he's so cute! Another one will be along in a minute.
Loving the cat tails xx :hug:
-
Winston's perfectly happy where he is - having a whale of a time and plenty of turkey ;) :evillaugh:
Hoping Megan is feeling better after her vet visit.
-
Doh! Sorry T - I dread to think how many 'wrong end of the stick' situations I've found myself in by attempting speed-reading. I think perhaps my new years resolution should be to learn to read proper teehee.
Hope eveyone is still enjoying their turkey leftovers at the Inn. This year I had Christmas at a relatives house and there was no turkey left at all so I've not had any turkey butties this year! I think if my ex-Innmates knew what they were missing out in they'd be back to you in an instant T! :rofl:
-
Some of the adults
-
The auction sratching post :rofl:
-
The kitty scratching post was bought at Christmas auction for poor Dainty, seems she manage to get a bit of lilac coloured bedding onto old post for herself while other 3 reprobates practised their vandalising skills.
Fifi has gone to her new home today.
-
:Luv: I'm in black and white heaven. Not sure that scratching post is going to last until the next auction!
-
Wonderful to see them enjoying themselves with their new scratching post ;D and great to see the young adults on the thread - saves me having to go to the Paws Inn website for my fix :naughty: I can't understand why they have not been snapped up, they are all so lovely :Luv: :Luv2:
-
a few more big ones
-
Finally Megan who arrived last week fresh from the dustbin. She is not looking as happy as the others as she has lump under her tongue and a water infection, she is having treatment so hopefully she will look happier next time Julie gets the camera out.
-
What happy little souls, they really are the lucky ones :) :hug:
-
Ooo more black and white beauties :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Poor Megan does look a bit sorry for herself hopefully she will be better soon. Bea is looking lovely as ever, but Alice, well, she looks so cheeky and is adorable :Luv:
-
Wow, Megan is stunning - even with her foody nose she's an amazing looking furb. :Luv2:
Must say, Baby Bea is turning out to be a heartbreaker - does her temprament reflect her looks?
Keep up the good work, Aunty T, sending vibes for strength and good fortune to you and yours for 2012. :summer flowers:

Baby Bea still greets people with a little hiss,she is still timid except when she is on a human lap enjoying being stroked, think she realy needs to be in a home to gain in confidence.
Winston has just polished off his fourth meal of the day which included lemon chicken without the lemon :rofl: he is very disgruntled that there isnt a second helping. He thoroughly enjoyed his Milbemax at lunchtime :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
More lookers.... :) Hope Megan feels better soon.
-
Baby Bea is getting a big girl now. She's absolutely stunning. :Luv: :Luv: I hope the right home comes along for her very soon.
-
Wishing all at the Inn and peaceful 2012
I just love the pic with Sabrina, Fontaine and Star posing on their new Castle. :Luv2: They're such lovely cats and its sad that they get overlooked.
Good news about Fifi. ;D
Baby Bea gets more goregeous every time I see her. :Luv2:
Megan looks a bit sorry for herself but she's such a friendly girl. I hopoe the ABs have kicked in and she's feeling better now.
-
Thanks Carol,but you of all people should know that the Inn is anything but peaceful :rofl:
Must admit to be delighted with those pictures also ones of Chelsea, Julie is very good at sitting out there for hours with the camera.
Funny in a way I look at Baby Bea and know that at the time both she and me were in no hope land, we had open day when we were really low on cats due to my silly health problems and had even announced we were closing. The call to help Baby Bea was life changing for many, I learnt that with help I could carry on, Baby Bea has turned from a terrified tiny mess into a huge beauty and since then we have taken in so many cats/kittens its incredible, in anything Paws Inn has grown , who could have dreamed that an old boot could handrear a litter of 8 :rofl: or send Dandelion and Burdock off to a swashbuckling home :rofl: Little Alice is so happy now her 6 babies are rehomed she thinks shes in wonderland and Megan I am certain will soon be as happy.As for Star, Sabrina and Fontaine I cant help but hold out for the purrfect home.
So Carol think we`ll hope for health,happiness and help from good friends :hug:
Talking of good friends an old friend is coming back to live here on Wednesday the very lovable Anastasia.Hopefully she will enjoy the stairlift which is being fitted tomorrow :rofl:

Ollys park and ride (stairlift) was fitted yesterday. This morning he was walking down the stairs as I was travelling up,poor lad ran for his life :rofl: :rofl: the journey down was a different matter he raced me and won by a mile :rofl: :rofl: I wonder what he will do when he comes face to face with his old friend Anastasia this evening .
I went food shopping last night and bought a small piece of turkey off the bone for Winston to make sure the poor wee lad doesnt starve cost 95p,probably be cheaper to buy another crown and pretend its Christmas :rofl:
Will post pics etc of Anastasia after she is home.
-
We need
photographic video evidence of Olly's racing :naughty: Glad you finally got the stairlift and hope it makes life a bit easier for you :hug:

:evillaugh: :evillaugh: So pleased it's finally arrived Teresa, and that it's giving Ollie a new occupation. :Luv:

Been trying to post some pics that I took on Friday at Paws Inn but my post keeps disappearing. Think its a problem on my lappy so posting this from OH's machine as a tester (but obviously no pics).
-
This is my final attempt before I scream and throw the lappy through the window. I've managed to post a pic on another thread so don't see why this one shouldn't work. I'll try doing it one pic at a time.
I was trying to get pictures of Big H and Wilbur (Holy terrors) to show off their beautiful orangish eyes and healthy coats for the Paws Inn website but I didn't really succeed. :rofl: I am improving though (or they're getting slower) because there are a couple of partial faces among my usual collection of bums and tails. I have difficulty telling Big H and Wilbur apart now which is so heartwarming when you think that on arrival at Paws Inn Wilbur was so poorly that T had to plead with the vet to give him a chance.
-
Think this one is Wibur

Newest resident Anastasia who returned to Paws Inn on Wednesday. For those who don't know her story she had both her ears removed because of cancer when she first arrived at the Inn.
-
I know we've had a lot of her recently but she's so beautiful so here's Baby Bea again. I think T should enroll her as a photographiic model to earn her keep.

Thanks for the pictures Carol.
Well poor Debbie has had a busy afternoon which involved a fair bit of pen scrubbing and juggling to fit in the latest arrival approx
8-9months old pure black and appears to be pregnant,this we could well do without. We were lucky not to have lost our hands attempting to get madam Nouty Knickers from the carrier into the Pen and the sound effects from her were better than those heard on a horror movie and no were werent doing anything to hurt or distress her, madam just hates other cats Henceforth she will be known as Ethel nouty knickers,I pity anyone who tries to get near this cannibal lectar of cats, apart from all that she is lovely :rofl: or will be one day :rofl:
Anastasia is glad to be home now and much happier.
I said Megan the bin cat had a couple of problems but didnt say what, anyway on Tuesday she will be having mouth biopsy as she has a lump under her tongue,will also get her spay at same time.
Winston has asked for me to post an appeal for TURKEY :rofl:
All else fine and GiGi finally going to her new home on Tuesday.
-
Ethel nouty knickers sounds a right handful but I expect you to have tamed her before my next visit which will probably be Wednesday. :evillaugh:
Tell Winston we have had turkey dinner tonight - got a thigh joint from Morrisons (I prefer it to breast).
Still having problems posting pics on this thread - I tried to include one of G.G taken last Friday and lost the whole post locked up for about 5 minutes then went poof. :Crazy:
-
Tell Winston we have had turkey dinner tonight - got a thigh joint from Morrisons (I prefer it to breast).
Winston said tell you he is a breast boy :rofl: :rofl: white meat please and lots of it,he said the piece you left him didnt even touch :rofl: :rofl:the sides
-
Thanks for posting the pics Carol :hug: I don't think we can ever have too many of Baby Bea :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Me too!
-
Turkey, Turley :rofl: hes getting such a big boy now.
Ethel Nouty Knickers was positively evil when Rob tried to clean her Pen this morning, guess she would prefer somewhere more private,maybe she shouldnt have been such a flusey and kept away from the Toms :rofl: going to worm her later maybe she will give birth to can of worms and settle down :rofl:
Must admit I am amazed at Baby Bea`s beauty and her size, just 6 months old and gigantic.
-
I have been trying to post Friday's pic of G.G. before she goes to her new home but the pooter just wont play ball. I can't understand it because I've posted pics on other threads. :sigh:
I'm intrigued to know where you've put Ethel nouty knickers because I don't recall any empty pens but no doubt all will be revealed. I hope she calms down a bit soon - or preferably a lot. :evillaugh:
Baby Bea is clearly from the Paws Inn school of big cats. ;D I've posted a pic on Alison's thread of Bunty in a box and compared it with one of Penny in the same box at a similar age and Bunty is far bigger. Then there's DaisyMac's Kenny and others I can't just think of at the moment.
-

Poor Debbie worked hard, Ethel is in Alice`s Pen, Alice is in Anastasias Pen, Anastasia is back in the living room in collapsible Pen,poor Winston keeps looking across and asking her if shes a turkey :rofl: I will point out that I too worked very hard supervising :rofl: :rofl:

Its been an awful day, Megan went into vets this morning for mouth biopsy, we wont have results for couple of days at least. Megan is the poor girl who was repeatedly put in the dustbin, anyway when she went to vet previously Andy was not available and vet aged her at 2 years,today after Felv/Fiv test and biopsy I asked Andy to scan her as something was niggling me, (yes we have and use are own scanner) low and behold vet finds a microchip and suddenly this cat no longer belongs to us, not only that we were not allowed any information,vet later phoned me to say he had contacted address by phone and Megan had been dumped when owner moved house some time ago so suddenly Megan is ours again anyway age 2 years jumped to 9 years on original microchip form,lets just hope her results are ok.Spent 2 hours on phone and internet trying to have microchip changed to us no chance we have to remove it,sheer lunacy.
Hetties 1st anniversary today,who would think you could love and miss a feral so much, she was so very special.
Last night I was forced to take Ethel Nouty Knickers back home after the phonecall from hell,turns out she had an owner,the least said the better as I find myself becoming more disgusted with the human race each day.
GiGi finally went to her new home this morning so a little happiness.
Winston is still yelling TURKEY TURKEY :rofl:
-
Sending :hug: for Aunty T and the late great Miss Hettie a shining example of feral wonderfulness - every feral I have lost has left something behind my broken heart but also the knowledge of others being able to come in from the cold and be all they can be wether nice or nasty feral they are safe and happy and thats what Hettie had a wonderful home and people who love and miss her xx
-
Oh, Teresa, what a dreadful day :(
I would like you to know that no matter how much the human race continues to disgrace itself, this little bit of the human race thinks you're the bees knees.
:hug: :hug:
-
Oh T - what a day. :hug: I take it you were right in your belief that Megan is already spayed then. You just knew the finders were mistaken in thinking she belonged to the travellers didn't you.
No turkey left for Winston - Bunty and Biggles ate the last of it this morning and judging by their reaction they are as fond of it as he is.
Good new about G.G. :)
-
Sounds like you are in need of some of these :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Teresa. :hug: :hug: A rough day indeed. Poor Megan, bless her heart. Am glad that she at least can stay with you, but having to remove the chip instead of being able to change the details - truly madness.
Sending lots of positive thoughts for Ethel - she'll need them, by all accounts, but as has been said - you can't save them all, T.
Glad Winston still has the right perspective on life. ;) :hug:
-
So sorry to hear about your awful day :hug: :hug:
Can't believe that Megan has to have the microchip removed :shocked:
:rofl: @ Winston
-
Megan seems non the worse for yesterdays events and has managed a hearty breakfast this morning,just a case of wait for results now and then sort out chip removal if applicable.
Winston running round the living room searching for turkey and making the world a happier place.
-
Sorry you had such a bad day, hope things improve for you all.
Wordy seems to have accepted there is no more Turkey and has a new favourite of Pate!!! He pushed the ramekin of pate off the kitchen worktop, and dragged it into the hallway, he was trying to eat it through the sandwich bag that I had it in. It was destined for the kitchen bin, not the Wordy bin.
You had better put Turkey slices on you shopping list for the foreseable future, for poor starved Winston. :)
Nicky
-
What heartless owners, and what a lot of stress! Glad she's back with someone who cares about her Teresa.
-
Wordy :rofl:
I have decided that Winston will receive no more turkey or treats as he has become a THUG,yes truly this little boy broke my heart because he had suffered so much, he became a purry little love and we showered him with everything good,in return he no longer wants us to pick him up though he is currently sat next to me sniffing laptop :rofl: he is becoming more dominant each day and I can do without that.
Yesterday we brought Big H and Wilbur into living room to play with Winston as a special treat,Winston wanted to play with Big H but not Wilbur. Aunty Carol brought some of her wonderful bread that Biggles and Bunty steal and she tried so hard to teach my cats to steal bread and coffee :rofl: :rofl: in truth a crust of bread was stolen and much growling ensued until the butter was licked off then said crust was disgarded. Paws Inn cats are so well mannered :rofl:
Still no news of Megans biopsy.
All cats happy and well
-
When she saw evidence of my former Paws Inn cats stealing bread Teresa was anxious to point out that it was not Paws Inn behaviour. Really??? Here is a pic I took of Wilbur at Paws Inn yesterday. :evillaugh:
-

OK I confess we have been sussed, we have to feed the cats scraps of bread and water as times are very hard and Winstons turkey has been costing an arm and leg :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
You got in before me T while my oddly behaved lappy was trying to post my pictorial evidence. :rofl: The amazing thing is that the pic has posted this time, albeit very slowly. I will never understand computers.
The deep scratch on my little finger that Winston administered yesterday when I put him back in his cage confirms his thuggery. :-:
-

He is due his 2nd vaccination next week, will ask Andy to use a blunt rusty needle :evillaugh: he is currently sitting next to me like butter wouldnt melt, I have even had finger licked.

Such iniquitous behaviour from one so young - clearly corrupted is our Winston Turkey Twizzler :evillaugh:
-
Friday 13th without doubt was terrible.
Older members will no doubt remember Wee Andy the lad whose feral mum beat him up after killing his siblings and at just days old he developed pneumonia, well we took him away from mum and handreared him by some miracle he survived. Somewhere in the archives is a picture of the biggest poop ever done by a tiny kitten :rofl: this was Andys. Andy was Busters last charge before he went into retirement and handed the reins over to Minimopsical,such happy days.
Just before Christmas Ann got in touch to say that Andrew (the name he was given) was in the vet on a drip,somehow he rallied round and was home for Christmas, Andrew went down and was admitted and put ondrips twice, his kidneys had given up and then finally his insides ulcerated and nothing could be done but let him go so Ann and Chris were with him on Friday afternoon as he left this world aged just 5 and a half. Andrew was a hunter and we suspect he had ingested a poisoned mouse.
Anyway Ann came round yesterday morning to tell me and we spent hours crying together and remembering his giant poop,poor Ann I so feel her sadness Andrew was a very special boy with a huge heart,because he had been handreared he continued to wrap himself lovingly round her neck right to the end. Ann has 2 other cats from me Russell age 16 who is in the finally stages of kidney failure and Douglas(formerly norman Wisdom) aged 1 year plus. I know they are missing him too.
Still no news of Megans biopsy and thats hurting too.
I am going to buy Winston some turkey today,you never know just how long they have.
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Such a sad update, T. I didn't know Andrew's story but he sounds like a wonderful boy :( . RIP Andrew and hugs to you and Ann :hug: :hug:
Cuddles to Winston too :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Sad news Aunty T but he had everyone at the Inn and his own humans to love him more than some have and I do remember the poop in question
It is so true you never know how long they have and all they ask is we love them and keep then safe for however long they grace our lives, some for a fleeting moment others for many years but all who are lucky enough to have you Aunty T and loving owners are the lucky ones :hug: :hug:
I know looking at the rejects we have here who aren't for a normal family home or in some cases any home most wouldn't be alive today here they are loved and wanted even if they love us in their own hissy way and for that I am greatful we keep them safe and happy and pander to their every whim and let them be all they can be
-
Very sorry to hear this Teresa :hug:
RIP Andrew, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx
-
:hug:
RIP Andrew.
-
RIP Andrew :'(
Teresa we havent been here for a while but here is one of your special boys showing how much he loves you.
-
Very sad to hear the news about Andrew :( :(
Sending :hug: :hug: to Ann. And one to you T :hug:

Well Olly has finally done it,that is taken command and lived up to his title Purrmaster General, (for those who didnt know he had asked for Busters old position of president just after Busters death and we declined). Anyway yesterday Debbie was showing some people around and Ollie was stalking them,they went into the first block and Olly jumped up onto our patio table peeping in at them and rolling about hoping to get an audience other than me, Debbie took the people down to the summerhouse and before you know it our Ollie meccano cat was on the roof peering down at them.I sat laughing as I imagined him shouting "oi wot ya doin down there, I`m in charge here, just look up and fuss me" it seemed no one had noticed him because they were too busy admiring other cats so what does our intrepid hero do next, he moves to edge of roof and leans over and gets his paw and begins tapping "I say I say look at me, dont be rude I am boss cat" When people had finished Olly leapt from the roof in pure Supercat style and escorted them up the garden and into the house :rofl:
Now the late great Buster always assumed command and greeted everyone in a wonderful friendly manner. I guess Olly is finally taking proper charge of things, so very funny to watch but Buster he isnt :rofl: :rofl:
-
R.I.P Andrew. :(
Olly sounds like a little cutie, you describe things so well Teresa, I was picturing him as I was reading.
Hope the people getting shown around are chosen by a deserving kitty or 2.
Wordy says did Winston get his Turkey?If so can he come and live with you all? He had to make do with stealing some sausage. Poor boy never gets fed!!!
Nicky
-
Yes Olly has been escorting me down to the summerhouse on a regular basis of late. ;) First time I caught sight of him out of the corner of my eye when I was in there I nearly had a fit because I thought one of the kitties had escaped even though I knew they couldn't have. :shocked:
Ever since my visit to Paws Inn last week Bunty and Biggles have had a consuming interest in my utility room. As soon as I open the door they're in there and I have trouble getting them out. Yesterday I found Bunty balancing on top of the coat rack which was already coming away from the wall due to overload even before she did that. :Crazy: I found out why when I was supervising their outdoor playtime and put my hands in my fleece pockets because it was cold. What did I find? The handful of Paws Inn bribery biscuits that I handn't needed to use to get the the Holy Terrors back in their pen now there are only 2 of them. :rofl: I caved in and let them have them but it was a mistake. Bunty, Biggles and biscuits (especially Royal Canin which they love) do not go well together. :sick:
-
Ello Wordy Winston ere,now i az gotta be quick before old bot comes back; I az got turkey an you can az som if you come and breaks me out of zis Pen
Best Wishes
Winston
ps bring file and fud :rofl: :rofl:

:evillaugh: :evillaugh:

Olly has been at it again, its amazing how much has been achieved by this boy who was destined for pts 4 years ago,thought I would dig his old pics out for fun.
The outside one was taken minutes ago.
Phoned vet and Megans results could take up to 2 weeks.
-
Bless him - he's a different cat altogether. :Luv: Quite right too that he should draw pointed attention to the rudeness of your visitors for ignoring him so. :-:
-
What a wonderful story, T and another attestation to your love and care. (And he's as cute as pie :Luv2: )
Sorry about poor Andrew, he stole 5 years that would otherwise not have been his, thanks to you and Ann. :hug: :hug:
-
Good stuff that meccano. ;) Mind you, it should be for what it cost. Olly is one lucky boy to have found his way to Paws Inn.
-
I have been reading the story of when Olly first came to us and couldnt even walk,looking at old pics of him reduced me to a blubbering wreck http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,11676.0.html.
We were amazed to find that Megan is 9 years old,we thought she looked so much younger, amazingly Olly is 9 years old now,
Think I may have a problem and am too scared to look, Winston has been out and about and I could hear scratching behind me, our dining table with leather chairs cost 1500, I think Winston may have killed his first chair.
-
At risk of making you cry again, T, I think Olly was spot on when he (she :evillaugh: ) decided you'd do. :hug:
-
Think you have to face facts, Teresa - Winston wants turkey. If he don't get it, the dining chairs will....... :doh: :evillaugh:
-
Winston you lucky boy, I got sum roast chicken from my grandma.
Wordy.
Olly is a brave boy, he definately in the best place. Nicky
-
Olly is ace. :) And quite right too, people ignoring him is clearly not acceptable. :evillaugh: Now where's Winstons turkey....? ;)
-
Now where's Winstons turkey....? ;)
If he doesnt learn to behave himself he will find himself trussed up and joining a freezer full at Tescos :evillaugh: I am just not used to a kitten opening up strange programmes on the computer that I have not discovered,he even opened facebook,he is currently trying to use my phone whilst stood in my nebuliser,no he has discovered a gas pipe besides the fire. This isnt a timid kitten but a confident monster who knows what he wants and how to get it, he has somehow become boss and me slave, I need to find someone mad enough to adopt him, O well vet tomorrow for 2nd jab so hopefully he will get rusty blunt needle :evillaugh: Meanwhile turkey in fridge for when my boy needs a snack :rofl: :rofl:
It looks like Star and Sabrina may soon escape this mad house.
-
It looks like Star and Sabrina may soon escape this mad house.
Now that is the best news ever :wow: Just can't believe they've been waiting so long. Have they been reserved?

Oooh, how exciting for them :wow: :wow: :wow: Have you told them yet? :naughty:
-
:wooooo: Star and Sabrina probably going to their forever home. I'll save the dancing bananas until it happens but that is the best news I've had for ages. :)

I was thinking the same Carol :wow: (Carol and I used to have chats about these two babies) ;)

Keeping everything crossed for Star and Sabrina :)
It sounds like Winston is a proper hooligan :rofl: :rofl:

Thats great news, hope they settle into their new home easily.

Yay for Star and Sabrina!!

Star and Sabrina going to new home Saturday morning.
Fantastic news - Go Star & Sabrina! :wooooo:

Sending lots and lots of love, luck and best wishes and for Star and Sabrina for tomorrow.

Wiping the tears from my eyes having read Lindsey's thread about poor Lacie, and suddenly I want to celebrate with you, Teresa.
These are the days, my friends :shy: :Luv: :)
-
Excellent news!! ;D
-
So hoping all went well today. :hug: :hug:
-
Hope everything went according to plan yesterday with Star and Sabrina and all well at the Inn with humans and furries alike. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Star and Sabrina went as planned on Saturday morning,they had been here since Sept 2010 so a really good homing, poor Fontayne has been a bit subdued since here friends left but Dainty seems to have new found confidence and is suddenly first to the food instead of last.
Debbie and I were busy yesterday trying to order new equipment, after consultation with Andy last week it is pretty certain that Anastasia will need to be in care permanently because of her nose, so we have ordered a 3 bed scratcher from Kalven because we currently only have space for 2 beds for Olly and Tula, Anastasia is currently out in isolation Pen until we can fit a collapsible into the house, she was friends with Olly 4 years ago but then he was a timid injured cat now he is the dominant Purr Master General and Anastasia thinks she should come back as boss cat, imagine the Churchill and Thatcher of the cat world together a fantastic match but wheres the velvet glove :rofl:so re introductions will have to be done very carefully.We also ordered some new wire basket carriers as some of the ones we are using are ancient.
The cats also get their new chariot next week and for first time in 9 years its not a picasso.I think I am going to have to start driving again.
Unbelievably we are still waiting for Megans biopsy results; Carol and Debbie asked Andy about microchip removal and Andy said no,so he now says he will try and alter details.
All ele happy and well especially Winston , Debbie brought him turkey yesterday with an extra piece for today.
-
That's just th ebest news about Star and Sabrina, was worrying that something might go wrong for them but thankfully no need :wow: Hope Fontaine and Dainty are next :hug:
Hope the Churchill/Thatcher intros go OK when the time comes :) Still got fingers crossed for Megan :hug:
-
Hope Star and Sabrina are settling well in their new home, it'll be a big change for them but so exciting. Poor Fontayne, it wasn't her week was it; first a trip to the vets for a booster and then her pals left her. I bet at first she just thought they'd gone to vets too and is waiting for them to come back. It times like this when you really wish they could talk, or at least understand what you're saying to them.
Have you ordered the cages from Kalven? I got one when I bought my scratch post and it came carpeted. :rofl: It was good quality carpet too. The cage is fine but slightly narrower than the one it replaced.
So, the new car arrives next week then. ;D Will I still be able to park mine next to yours or will I have to hide it out of the way so that I don't lower the tone. :evillaugh: And even worse, will the colours clash. :rofl:

Just checked and new chariot is being delivered to garage tomorrow then poshed up ready for me to collect next Monday, think you may continue to park next to me when you visit but please wear your best hat :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: think I may need a ladder to get in and out :rofl: colour Gun Metal :rofl:
Hannah our wonderful vets receptionist not only listened to all my complaints but sorted them all out even getting Megans chip changed over to me. Have been promised biopsy result tomorrow.
-
Good news megans biopsy result is negative, Andy going to look at lump again next week.
Today I managed to weep the most free flowing tears I`ve managed in years; news came that Vanity had died of old age,
she spent 8 long years with us while we searched for the perfect home,then Sarah adopted her almost 5 years ago and madam Vanity who had been a terror became a gentle princess in a matter of months. In December Vanity got 2 new brothers in the form of Holy terrors Fred and Charlie, somehow I expected them to put new life in her,it wasnt to be she died at home on Friday; makes you realise how quickly life flies by and a gentle reminder that no matter how much effort we put into saving them mother nature wins in the end.

That's wonderful news about Megan's biopsy. ;D I was beginning to think it must be the worst because Andy said it often is when the results take a long time to come in. All he has to do now is find out what's really causing the lump. :sigh:
I'm so sorry to hear the news about Vanity. I know she was one of your 'specials'. :hug: Charlie and Fred may not have been able to extend her lifespan but I'm sure they will have enriched her final weeks.
-
So pleased to hear the news about Megans biopsy Teresa, but also sad to learn of Vanity's passing.
Charlie and Fred will have big boots to fill. Or maybe that should be peep toes....? :) :hug:
-
Very sorry to hear about vanity Teresa :hug: Good news about Megan though, hope they can get to the bottom of it.
-
Great news about Megan's biopsy.
Sorry to hear about Vanity.

Sending hugs and Squeeewheeeewheee's to all at the Inn this morning. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Didja pick up your new chariot yesterday? :wow: Hope you did, and hope you're really pleased with it. :) :hug:
-
Wrote a huge update a puff disappeared.
Anastasia is now in the house being introduced to Tula and Olly,we are using a collapsible Pen as both Olly and Anastasia are dominant cats,am hoping all will be ok by Friday when their new 3 tiered beds arrive.
Poor poor Winston was moved outside and given Anastasias`s pen,NO he didnt like it, doesnt like other cats, misses his televison,missed his laptop, missed damaging the leather chairs (God help us if Rob notices) and worst of all he missed his TURKEY :rofl: in fact poor boy refused all food for the 22 hours he was forced to slum it. He is safely back in the living room with turkey and mumt now, I will try and cope with the intrusion until a home is found :rofl: talking of homes he needs to be an only pet and no children and may never want to go outdoors again.
Had some lovely pics of Star and Sabrina settling into their new home,really gave a much needed lift.
Sue new chariot is here,its beautiful got everything the cats could dream of :rofl: but its tinged with sadness because I doubt I will ever drive again.
All cats are fine, got new boy coming in tomorrow, darent tell Rob,will have to try and settle him first and let Rob find him there,that way his heart will melt :rofl:
Picked up an RTA Sunday night, she was knocked up in the air and has badly injured leg and face but is alive;we left her at vets Sunday night and were very thankful that we managed to find the owner.
-
Ah sweetheart. :hug: Well, maybe you can get to sit in it, with a cat carrier in the back, a turkey in the front seat alongside you, and remember the old days. :hug: :hug: (had to re-type that - I'd orginally triped "maybe you can sin in it....!" A Freudian slip!) :naughty:
Is good to hear Star and Sabrina are settliong down well and that you've had piccies.
Dreadful to hear what you've been doing to poor, darling Winston though. No doubt he'll be thoroughly traumatised. :-: Can't see him wanting to go out again, as you mention it. Definitely not. He'll assume the position by the fridge door, or maybe midway between cooker and fridge, to hedge his bets. ;) :hug: :hug:
-
Congrats on the new car Teresa, even though you may not get to drive it :hug:
Poor Winston :-: I'm glad to hear he wasn't left outside for too long :evillaugh: It sounds to me like he's got you well and truly wrapped round his little paw Teresa :shify:
Hope the RTA victim will be OK.
-
RTA cat has fractured pelvis,broken jaw and may yet lose a leg, its lovely to find a nice owner for a change as this little girl will get everything she needs, owner phoned earlier with update and says she is so grateful to have been surrounded by 3 angels (she includes lady who called us out, Oh and me) and is so grateful that we took her to the lovliest vet in the world.
Funny enough the cat coming in tomorrow has also had leg amputation and is also black.
Winston is one happy boy tonight, he`s had turkey; when we went to buy it assistant said I know the best piece because its for a cat :rofl:
-
Poor little soul. Am very pleased you were able to find the owner, and I't's no surprise to learn she's over the moon - awful what's happened to her beautiful baby, but fantastic to know she couldn't have been n better hands than yours and the vet treating her. I'd be calling you angels too, but then we've always believed you to be. :hug:
So, Winston is a happy boy, back in the house wiv iz turkee :evillaugh:
-
Do we get to see the pics of Star and Sabrina in their new home :wow:
Very pleased that the little RTA cat has a loving and caring owner, if only they all did eh :hug: Has the newbie tripod arrived yet?
-
Has the newbie tripod arrived yet?
I'm being very norty and jumping in here before T gets chance but yes he has and he's :Luv2: :Luv2: Not that I'm biased of course, although everybody knows I feel the same way about blacks as you do about gingers Helen. :rofl: He's friendly and relaxed and doesn't appear to be at all fazed by having lost his leg (a back one) which was amputated last Thursday. The vet who did the op (not the Paws Inn vet) said the injury was an old one, probably 2 months, so the poor thing has been dragging it around all that time and is no doubt feeling better without it. He was an entire Tom (his bits were dealt with at the same time as his leg) and has a gorgeous big face with beautiful orangy eyes. :Luv2: No pics yet, you'll have to wait until the weekend. :naughty: The vets called him Jeffrey which T is not happy with so watch this space.
Anastasia is looking much better and enjoying being back in in the house, as is Winston. All other Inn-mates are snuggled into their heat pads and who can blame them in this weather.
-
two months poor, poor boy
-
Helen just for you Starsky as hes now named and Sabrina in their new home.
Carol not naughty I am grateful you have done the typing :hug: I think in truth you spent more time with him than I have.
His name is going to be a Bunty/Biggles type affair so far
Snowy
Chaucer
Columbus all seem to suit as well as Tipperary of course :rofl: :rofl:
-
A sight for sore eyes :Luv: They look very confident considering they've never had their own home before :) Has their new owner said how they're settling in?
I'm going to be controversial on the Bunty/Biggles type affair and say I like the name Jeffrey :naughty:
-
So good to see Starsky and Sabrina on furniture, don't they look content! Well done T ;D
My limping puma is called Theo Wallcat after the footballer and the fact he sleeps on a wall by the kids playground ;) but I think Theodophilus is a sweet name for a black boy.
Can't say I like Jeffrey, either. Reminds me of my history teacher. :sick:
I like the name Henry, though. My friend's little boy is a Downs child and he really suits Henry :Luv2:
:hug:
-
I'm going to be controversial on the Bunty/Biggles type affair and say I like the name Jeffrey :naughty:
I like Geoffrey with a G Helen and I tried, I really did, but T is having none of it. :evillaugh:
I'm not sure about Theodophilus Sheila but I like Theo.
What about Aristotle or Socrates or maybe Plato - he certainly enjoyed his plato food :rofl: :sneakin:
-
What about Aristotle or Socrates or maybe Plato - he certainly enjoyed his plato food :rofl: :sneakin:
:rofl:
Sta(sky) and Sabrina look very perky :wow:
Pleased to hear that Anastasia is settling back in and hopefully there's no fur flying!
-
Great piccies of Starsky and Sabrina, and they look so settled already. ;D
The new boy sounds wonderful, but poor soul having been in such pain for two months. Let's hope now he'll turn into a right cuddlebum stay-at-home.
I like the name Jeffrey, but what about Tipper? I like that too. :) It's kind of jaunty. :Luv:
-
Starsky and Sabrina look great :) :)
So glad that the new boy is more comfortable now. Poor little lad.
-
Tipper is cute, I had a cute Pocket Dragon called Jaunty. Jaunty Jeffrey?
-
What a little star Biggles/Jeffery sounds. Love the photos. :)
-
Debbie and I took Megan to vet for recheck on mouth lump last night, Andy says no noticeable change, he said it is possible that it is a slow growing cancer that is deep set and therefore missed by the biopsy,as the lump is inoperable all we can do is be vigilant,so Megan finally had her first vaccination and this morning I got her microchip details in our name. Andy has passed her fit for rehoming provided any new owner is aware of lump.
Jeffrey, Chaucer, Snowy,Columbus,Hasty,has settled in very well and coping really well on his 3 legs, he is enjoying his food and is an absolute dream apart from the stench of tom cat in his tray this morning :rofl:
Dainty seems much more confident now that Star and Sabrina have been rehomed and her and Fontayne are becoming firm friends.
We had a bit of a scare when feral Milly didnt turn up for roll call this morning, Rob spent ages walking round and moaning because he was frozen and late for work and low and behold where was Milly,waiting on the patio for a late breakfast because Wilma and Darth Vader had eaten it all :rofl:
New Kaven scratcher and baskets being delivered at lunchtime, really excited.
-
I love that there's a cat at Paws Inn called Darth Vader. :naughty: Great news about Megan.
-
Its so cold we have stalactites hanging from rose arch and outside some of the pens the patio and path is lethal as is the road and tomorrow I should have an appointment for a couple to view Fontaine and Dainty,guess its not going to happen unless the sun comes out. On the plus side the cats are as warm as toast in their snug pens.
Tomorrow is also the day we have decided to remove Anastasias Pen and allow full integration with Olly and Tula using our new Kalven scratcher as a sweetner but if this ice keeps up there will be no Debbie to help,starting to think everything is about to go wrong o well que sera sera.
Jeffrey who isnt Jeffrey is doing fine despite not having a proper name yet, my brain seems to be on strike as far as names go and indeed a few other things :rofl: Debbie and me will be taking him for a check up and stitch removal on Wednesday when he will hopefully be able to have his first vaccinations along with Anastasia if her nose check goes ok.
Winston is still keeping me company in the living room.
-
Call him Tipper, Tipper....... Tipper...... :evillaugh: :hug:
-
Thats brilliant news that somebody is interested in Fontaine and Dainty but as you say, the weather isn't too auspicious. I haven't been out but I'd say we have no more than 2 inches of snow here, could be less, but I'm pretty sure its freezing. It certainly doesn't feel any warmer.
If Debbie can't make it tomorrow then a few more days of cage rest wont hurt Anastasia, and Winston will just have to continue slumming
it in his small pen. :evillaugh:
Bunty and Biggles send lots of snoozles to all at the Inn and say stay safe. :hug:
-
What a busy day Olly had yesterday, bed testing and more bed testing,so much so he is now flat out on our bed with Anastasia and Tula.
The good news is they are all happy together again and so Winston has been given his big Pen back, O and Aunty Debbie brought him turkey yesterday with enough for todays lunch too. :rofl:
-
Here is pic of Megan.
And
Long awaited pic of Jeffrey who isnt Jeffrey :rofl: as you can see he has a few bald bits after drips, blood tests but I think he is hiding the biggest bald bit and missing leg wonderfully :rofl:
-
Jeffrey is the spitting image of Mog (who will soon be having his anniverary with us!). Perhaps we should twin them.
-
Aw, what lovely updates - Alias Jeffery is gorgeous! What a special little soldier!
My nest of blacks send a big 'Mew' to their Auntie T and Uncle Rob :hug:

Had an interesting day at the Inn today. A lovely lady who rehomed a Paws Inn cat (Lucy) many years ago arrived with the news that sadly Lucy had succumbed to kidney disease and gone to the bridge last October. She was desperately missing feline company so had a look around, fell in love, went off to buy food and supplies and came straight back to take away her new friend. Its a match made in heaven :Luv2: but you'll have to wait for T to tell you who is the lucky kitty. :shify:
It looks like Fontaine and Dainty have sadly not found their forever home, having been pipped at the post by another Paws Inn cat. The couple will be returning at the weekend to pick up the chosen one so I can saying nothing more until then, in case they change their minds because it was a close run thing. I wonder if you can guess who it is? ;)
Jeffrey who isn't Jeffrey went to the vets to have his wound checked over and is healing very nicely thank you so he had his first vaccs, as did Anastasia who is is looking a lot happier since moving back to her rightful place in the house. She just never stops purring. :Luv2:
-
Lovely piccies of Megan and Jeffrey Who Isn't Jeffrey ;D
How wonderful that two more Paws Inn Babes have got Forever Homes (although sad news about Lucy obviously)
Who are they though? Who? You can't keep us forever in suspenders!! :-:
Fontaine - Daisy - don't you worry you lovely sweeties, someone is going to be just right for you too. :hug:
Hope Olly has enjoyed his day and that Winston is being kept well supplied wiv turkey ;)
Love and Squeeewheeewheeee's from me and Mac for all at the Inn :hug: :hug:
-
Carol your a right tease, the thought of poor Suepoo in suspenders has me in pleats.
I am going to keep you guessing a lttle longer because Lucys story deserves to be told yet again.We all desperately need money to do the work we do but I have always refused to put a price on a cats head. 10 years ago a lovely lady who had lost both her husband and old dog came to me for a cat,she had a wonderful home to offer but could not afford equiptment and a donation, she could afford food and insurance. I told this lady not to worry about a donation and lovely Lucy gained the most wonderful home. Each Christmas Lucy sent me a card with a £5 note in it and Lucy and her owner had the most wonderful life together for 10 years. Yesterday Lucys legacy was to give Megan that same wonderful home, I was really poorly last night and got so much comfort from the thought of Megan curled up in bed with her own wondeful human instead of that cold scary industrial dustbin she was forced into before we got her.
On Friday evening Jeffrey who isnt Jeffrey will be leaving us for his new home..
-
:Luv2: Jeffrey who isn't Jeffrey could have the name Fergus - it means man of strength. Or Sullivan which means 'keen eye' Xxxx
-
Had a lovely phonecall to say that Megan is following her new mum everywhere, she enjoys television and she slept in bed with her new mum last night.
-
So happy for Megan :) :) :) :) Megan's new mummy sounds wonderful :) :) :)
-
Had a lovely phonecall to say that Megan is following her new mum everywhere, she enjoys television and she slept in bed with her new mum last night.
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: ;D
Did I mention that Jeffrey who isn't Jeffrey enjoys tummy rubs? :Luv2:
-
:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: Oh Wow! T hat is such good news about Megan, and about Jeffrey Who Isn't Jeffrey!!!! ;D
But. Am noticing you weren't so good last night (that's a euphemism obviously, cos imagine it was worser than that!)
So, MacBeenz MacSquee has insisted that I administer immediate Squeewheeewheewheeewheee's to you to be taken three times daily. :hug: :hug: :hug: You'll notice they're high strength extra specials. :shify: Loves ya, Aunty T. :Luv:
-
Just going through my emails Teresa and was all set to add Megan and Jeffrey not Jeffrey to the website - you've done me out of a job now! Fab news though, although sorry to hear about Lucy but sounds like she had a happy home for the last 10 years :hug:
-
Jeffrey has gone to his new home fantastic when you think that its only 15 days since his leg was amputated.
-
So happy for Jeffrey not Jeffrey. Well done all concerned. :happy dance:
Sounds like Megan has her new slave exactly where she wants her, too :evillaugh:
Cracking stuff, T :hug:
-
I think that must be why you couldn't think of a name for him T, he was only passing through. Enjoy your life Jeffrey, I know your slaves will love you to bits. :Luv2:
-
Hows this for speedy update
Just to let you know that Jeffrey has made himself at home! Here he is sitting
on John! He has eaten, had a wee, had a wash, snooped through every room & had a
good purr. He's lovely & we are enjoying his company already. We'll let the dust
settle & think about Winston.
Take care. Thanks again
-
Gives me a warm glow without even having ever met him, can only imagine how it makes you feel Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
P.S Both websites now all up to date with Carol's help ;D
Edit: what's that about Winston? :shify:
-
Great rehoming news. Is Jeffrey keeping that name?
Hopefully they will come back for the Winston the Turkey gobbler. :)
Nicky
-
:) :) So maybe - maybe a home for the Turkey Twizzler too, eh?
-
So happy for Jeffrey not Jeffrey :Luv2: He looks very contented :Luv2:
-
Wicked Winston is in disgrace,he had a wonderful playtime yesteday with his new peacock feather Debbie brought for him, and then when it was time to put him back in his Pen, he decided he wanted to play catch.Poor Debbie and I spent 4 hours chasing him by which time we were all exhausted. Have now decided that Winston is looking for a home with television,peacock feather,cheese,turkey and an olympic athlete to care for him :rofl: he has spent most of the morning hitting his hanging ball in order to ring the bell :rofl: I am still considering moving him back to an outside Pen,I thought the holy terrors were bad but he takes the biscuit.
All other inmates happy and well behaved

:evillaugh: :evillaugh:

Some really good news today. An ex Paws Inn cat who went missing last August has turned up safe after all this time, its times like this that make you so thankful for the microchip we put in when we neutered him.
-
That's such good news. I would have lost heart by then, so the owners must be overjoyed.
Sending some waggley fingers for young Winston this morning. ;)
-
Naughty Winston :evillaugh: It does sound like whoever adopts him is going to have a fun time :evillaugh:
-
Am loving his entry on the website :evillaugh:
Also hoping someone comes soon with a good home for Wilbur, bless him. :Luv: I do so love that lil lad.
-

Fantastic news! :wow: :wow:
Still read about the wonderful Paws Inn, as i have notifications, but haven't been commenting......ex hubby is in hospital, terminally ill, so have been visiting every day....very distressing and stressful..... :( :(
Hope you're keeping ok Teresa :hug: :hug:
-

I like Winston's entry too :evillaugh: It just falls short of calling him a hooligan :evillaugh:
Isn't Fontaine just adorable. Wonder why no-one has snapped her up yet? :Luv:
And Baby Bea is still looking as beautiful as ever. :Luv2:
-
Ah wicked Winston - good name for him T. :rofl: We alll know that cats will do only what they want are good at getting their own way but Winston takes it to a whole new dimension and I know from experience that T is not exaggerating when she says how
difficult impossible he is to catch. :shify: He's just so adorable though. :Luv2:
Brilliant news about the lost/found cat. ;D

Sorry Shirley, when I posted earlier I meant to say, so sorry to hear about your ex hubby :hug: :hug:
-
I like Winston's entry too :evillaugh: It just falls short of calling him a hooligan :evillaugh:
I don't think he's a hooligan ;) its just that once he's out he does NOT want to go back in his cage (even though its a big one) but unfortunatley he has to. I suspect that when he finds his forever home he will settle down but only time will tell. :shify: One thing's certain, he'll make sure he gets his own way. :evillaugh:
-
Thank you Allison, no problem :hug: :hug:

More of Jeffrey
Hi Teresa,
Jeffrey is settling in well. He has found a number of places to snooze & enjoys
playing with a piece of string! Simple pleasures. There is still some
construction work going on around Kingswood park & he keeps growling when he
sees a work man!
We have thought long & hard about Winston and have decided to stick with just
Jeffrey. I hope you're not too disappointed. He is gorgeous and we have told our
neighbours about him, plus Wilbur & Harry, I think we mentioned to you that they
were thinking of adopting a cat. We hope they'll be in touch.
Jeffrey is now registered with Ashcroft surgery & is booked in for the remaining
vaccinations on 29th feb. Will keep you updated! Thanks again.
As for Winston i have a couple coming to meet him on Saturday my guess is they will choose the wonderfully behaved remaining holy terrors Wilbur and Big Harry :rofl: :rofl:
Am really delighted with the way Anastasia has settled in with Olly and Tula, have been intrigued as to who uses which bed after they are evicted from my bed at night, last night for reasons best known to me I sat alone in the dark till 2am and then crept to peep at the terrific trio, Olly top bunk, Tula bottom bunk and good old Anastasia in Tulas old bed next to the radiator talk about home comforts, last week I was going through the draw looking for a collar for her,at first I found Busters old one and then low and behold Anastasias pink one which she wore when here before, they are all kittycollars which have Paws Inn and the phone number printed on them so last for years.
Valentines day and a single Iris has always brought more happiness than any rose.
Shirley take care :hug:
-
Ooh I just :Luv2: Jeffrey. Looks like he's keeping the name doesn't it. ;D
-
He is such a splendidly handsome cat, our Jeffrey. :Luv:
Am sure Winston our Turkey Twizzler will find a home with some unsuspecting crazy person perfect people before too long. I certainly hope so. And it would be wonderful if Wilbur and Harry could be rehomed too. ;D
-
Shirley take care :hug:
Thanks T, you too :hug:
-
All fingers crossed for Alice today,she has a family coming to meet her this afternoon,the good news is that her Aunty Carol should be here to show her off
( though she doesnt know it yet) you never know she may get a nice groom too :rofl:
All inmates happy and well
-
Glad everyone is well Teresa :) Good luck to Alice :crossed:
-
Best of luck Alice - hope you get a lovely new family :Luv:
-
Sorry to hear off your sad news Shirley :hug: :hug: :hug:
Pleased to hear that Jeffrey is settling in so well, fingers crossed it will be Alice's turn next :wow:
-
Thanks Helen :hug:
Great news about Jeffrey! :Luv2:
-
I am quite suprised that Aunty Carol hasnt posted what shes been up to today,though in truth she is probably exhausted after spending hours chasing Wicked Winston, needless to say he got the better of us and its 9pm and he is still at large wrecking my leather, I find it hard to accept that I have brought up such a monster; if ever we manage to catch him its outside pens and no amount of sulking or refusing food by him will change my mind.
Aunty Carol also groomed and showed Alice to the family who came to see her and suprise suprise Alice is off to her new home tomorrow afternoon.Well Done Carol.
-
Yay for Alice :wooooo: :wow: :wow: :wow:
Even as a long distance admirer it gives me great satisfaction to see the more 'long timers' go off to new homes so can't imagine how good it must feel at your end :)
-
Winston is finally back in his Pen and tomorrow if its the last thing I do he will be in an outside Pen, Aunty Debbie will be here in the morning and she can help me toughen up,in other words we will both cry together :rofl: Still have 10 am appointment for couple to view Winston or remaining holy terrors Wilbur and Harry, no contest Wilbur and Harry are angelic :rofl: well next to wicked Winston they are.
Winston is now in his Pen crying out out ouwout.
-
Glad that Winston is finally back in his pen. Have you padlocked it? You can feed him turkey through the bars, or better still, dangle it in front of him where he just can't reach. That will let him know how it feels to be so near yet so far. :evillaugh: I'm joking of course but it would be very satisfying to turn the tables on him. :tired:
Yes Harry and Wilbur are Saints in comparison with Winston. I did mention that they'd upended their litter tray and covered not just their pen but the whole floor with the stuff didn't I? :rofl: And that they were having a game of footie in their pen with a ping-pong ball when I left so have probably done the same thing again by now. :shify: Bless 'em, they're just happy, lively young uns and so loving, and its not their fault that the pen is not quite fooball pitch sized. :Luv2: I think its their turn for a home so fingers crossed for tomorrow.
-
heeee heeee heeee :rofl: :rofl: Oooooh hooooooo..... :evillaugh: That has given me a mile wide grin this morning. The Antics of Young Winston - by gum, he's accurately named. I'm sure Churchill would be proud of him. :rofl:
So very pleased Alice is going to her new home today, and got me fingers crossed for Wilbur and Harry. ;)
-
Well Winston is still in the living room, we tried so hard but both Debbie and I were reduced to tears this morning and I think Julie was pretty close,you see the wonderful couple came to look and I expected Harry and Wilbur to be the chosen ones,how wrong could I be :shocked: I told these lovely people that Winston was the most intelligent cat I had ever come across, I explained his need for television and turkey, I told them he was a little monster who knew exactly what he wants and how to get it but still they had fallen in love with him, I even told them his poop stunk :rofl: they loved him and without doubt he chose them. So next Thursday afternoon Winston will be off to his new home and will have a new name Winston Flyrod Montana :rofl: how wonderful is that.
Alice went off to her new home this afternoon.
-
Well done Winston and Alice.
Hope we get some updates, I have a soft spot for young Winston Flyrod Montana, its almost like you chose the other names yourself Teresa!! :evillaugh:
Nicky
-
Excellent news about Alice and of course excellent news about that young hoodlum Winston :hug:
-
Fab news for Winston, and for your leather! :naughty:
-
I bet the sales of turkey in their local supermarket are set to go through the roof..... :evillaugh: Good on yah, Winston. ;)
-
Had an update from Fred and Charlie (former Holy Terrors) this morning,they wanted to let me know they had been neutered and microchipped this week and were fine bless them.
-
Love the pictures of Charlie and Fred they look very happy.
Finally got around to putting some pictures from the Inn on here.
Here Dainty and Fontaine, I don't normally get good pictures of Dainty as she hides but Debbie's peacock feather brought her out of her shell.

Some Pictures of Harry and Wilber, very hard to get pictures of these two they move so fast, they love to play.

And last but not least the beautiful Chelsea, who would of thought of Chelsea wanting to sit on anyones knee, she has because a very sweet loving cat.
-
Wonderful pics Julie :Luv2: Do you have the original size ones still? If you do would you send them to me to update the Paws Inn website ;D
-
Yes I do and I will
-
:thanks: Julie
-
Awww, what lovely pics!
Is there a reason, genetically or something, why so many black cats have little white patches on their lower tummies?
S.
-
Such a gorgeous array of feline beauty :wow: Aren't they all little smashers? ;D
-
Congratulations to Alice and Winston on getting their forever homes :Luv: :Luv:

Well Winston is still in the living room, we tried so hard but both Debbie and I were reduced to tears this morning and I think Julie was pretty close,you see the wonderful couple came to look and I expected Harry and Wilbur to be the chosen ones,how wrong could I be :shocked: I told these lovely people that Winston was the most intelligent cat I had ever come across, I explained his need for television and turkey, I told them he was a little monster who knew exactly what he wants and how to get it but still they had fallen in love with him, I even told them his poop stunk :rofl: they loved him and without doubt he chose them. So next Thursday afternoon Winston will be off to his new home and will have a new name Winston Flyrod Montana :rofl: how wonderful is that.
Is it today that Winston gets to go to his new home? I hope Teresa is able to enjoy it, wherever she is today. Please send her our love :hug: :hug:
Sheila and the Tufty club xx
-
I do believe it is today Sheila, all being well. :)
-
Winston wasn't able to go to his new home today because of T being in hospital but Debbie is delivering him tomorrow lunchtime. His new slaves sound absolutely perfect and without doubt he chose them. Like I've always said, he knows what he wants and he knows how to get it. ;)
I went to see T today and she is feeling much better and already planning what she will do when she escapes. ;D Hopefully that will be early next week but she is having the usual problem of veins collapsing and making administration of the IV ABs difficult so we'll have to wait and see. Fingers crossed. I took a printoutt of the last few days of this thread and she said to thank you all for your good wishes. She doesn't have her lappy with her so can't do so herself.
-
Pleased to hear you're feeling a bit better Teresa :hug:
Fingers crossed for Winston's departure tomorrow, must be very upsetting that you don't get to say a proper goodbye to him but sounds like he's bagged some fantastic slaves there :hug:
-
Am keeping everything crossed for Winston's Big Day today, and topping up the hugs and positive vibes and soothing chest "there, there, there's" for you Teresa. :hug: :hug: Sending you much love and a big Macbeenz Squeeewheeeewheeee.
Sue x
-
Fingers crossed for Winston today.
Sending lots more get well vibes to Teresa :hug: :hug:
-
Also adding more get well vibes.
-
Debbie sent me this Email this afternoon:
Just to let you know that Winston was delivered safely to his new mum. I dont know who cried more in the car on the way, him or me!
We couldnt have wished for a better home for him. Wendy is lovely and he will be spoilt rotten. I think his new dad was going to go home at lunchtime just to see if he had arrived. He had a little wander around the dining room & into the kitchen then hid under their old cats leather chair (which will now be Winstons) They dont expect him to settle straight away as it took their old timid cat a while but I'm certain that he will settle in just fine.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Dear Teresa, sending you lots of love and get well vibes. :hug: :hug:
Pav and Mister.xx
-
Awww poor Debbie - the affection you all have for Mr Winston shone thru everyone's posts about him! I'm sure he'll be fine in no time, especially if his new mum provides turkey :rofl: I hope Teresa is starting to feel better. Xx
-
I'm sure Winston will have his feet up on the furniture and his slaves running devotedly round him right now. :Luv:
Sending much love and lots of healing snoozles for Aunty T today from me and MacBeenz
-
Ohh noooo. Hope you break out soon, Teresa.
Great news about Winston, though. He deserves to be spoiled. :)
-
Sorry to hear you're in detention again Teresa :(
Good news about Winston though ;D
-
Get well soon, hope they let you home asap.x
-
Just wanted to pop by and top up the cuddles, healing vibes and good wishes for you Aunty T. :hug: :hug:
-
Morning Teresa, and to all at the Inn. Topping up the vibes for Aunty T, and hoping the furbabes are being very good for Daddy Rob. :hug: :hug:
-
Yup, sending escape vibes.... ;)
-
Still thinking of you Teresa, hope you're on the mend and will be let out soon :hug:
-
So glad to hear that Winston is in his new home :)
Topping up the get well vibes Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Any idea when Escape day is? Sending Eurohugs your way, Auntie T xx
-
T was hoping to be home early this week but I spoke to Rob tonight and although the infection levels have gone down they haven't gone down far enough so she is still on IV ABs with no date yet for her escape. She is very fed up and who can blame her. Rob has taken her laptop in but they can't get the dongle thingie to work.
If you've managed to get on line T sending lots of love and loads of these :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hmmmm. :shify: In that case, we're going to have notch up the level of positive vibes and snoozling. :um: I did wonder, as I lay awake this morning and MacBeenz MacSquee laid his head on my shoulder, turned limpid eyes on me and communicated the fact he was sending Aunty T an enormous Squeeeewheeewheeeee wiv big stripey bits whether Aunty T was also lying awake plotting her escape.
Whatever, sending much love to you Teresa, and lots of MacBeenz the Magnificent snoozles (wiv stripey bits) :cuddle:
-

-
Teresa, topping up the get well vibes :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thank you to everyone who sent those get well vibes,it was my old friend Pseudomas A. (pneumonia)yet again.
I missed Winston going to his new home but was confident his new parents are purrfect for him, and Debbie has had wonderful updates.
Further update on Jeffrey who has really settled well, Alice too has settled wonderfully in her new home so all good to come home to.
It seems we have sort of aquired an extra cat, so funny he/she is Ollys double and Rob was wondering why Olly was in kitchen and on bed at same time :rofl: I will hopefully be up to investigating tomorrow.
Modified to say I came home this evening.
-
:welcome: home T! So pleased you excaped. xx :hug: :hug:
PS Sorry I posted pics of Sly's legs hanging over his tree rim on here instead of the other thread, but you know what, I reckon I need as amny opinions on whether this might be the cause of his tremors as I can muster, so please do chip in !
-
Pleased to hear you've escaped. :hug: :hug: I wonder who the new cat is. :shify:
-
Yay another successful break out - just in time to meet your new arrival! :evillaugh:
-
:welcome:Welcome home! Please take things easy now! :briggin:
-
Glad to hear you're home. Plenty of echinacea and vit C to build up the immune system! X
-
Very pleased to hear you've broken out Teresa ;D Hope you're feeling better in yourself :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
:cuddle: :yesss: Aunty T - you is home!!!!! :wow: ;D :narna dance:
Am so pleased you made it out. Young Macbeenz MacSquee will be pleased too. :)
So - :shify: wonder who is the mystery cat...? (Not Sly - although he looks incredibly gorgeous draped on his bed. Sheila, am not sure, but I think it does no harm not to rule it out, and to show the vet the pictures too, so he can consider whether it may be a causative factor)
-
Welcome home Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Glad you home, get well soon, and behave yourself. :)
Nicky
-
You're getting good at the breakouts. ;) Glad you're out, Teresa.
-
Okay. MacBeenz sez he cants hardurlee waits ter find out who is der Mystery Cat? ;D And sending respeckful Squeee's to Aunty T of course. :hug: :hug:
-
Misteree Kat Hmmmmmmm??
Feemayle?? :drool;
Sly :clap:
-
Hoping all is well at the Inn, and sending much love to Aunty T :hug: :hug:
-
Hope you're feeling a bit brighter T :hug:
T, I'm going to post a separate thread as don't want to clog up this one, but I'm needing a bit of advice on cat catching as we have a cat in the area which looks to be in desperate need of vets attention so wish me luck!
x
-
Just a quick update on life at the Inn. T managed to leave hospital with really nasty head cold to add to her other problems but is soldiering on. Harry and Wilbur were neutered today and she has received some wonderful pictures of Winston cuddling his new mum which I'm looking forward to seeing when she's feeling up to posting. :Luv2:
Take care and get well soon T. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hmmmm. Well, in that case - "back to bed this instant Aunty T." :no no: :hug: Young MacBeenz sends a gentle "squee" of concern and a gentle hug :hug:
Is such good news about Wilbur, Harry and Winston, who all appear to be making themselves very comfortable at their new homes :Luv:
-
Thanks for the update Carol.
Sending lots of get well vibes Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Is such good news about Wilbur, Harry and Winston, who all appear to be making themselves very comfortable at their new homes :Luv:
Harry and Wilbur are still looking for their forever homes but in the meantime are continuing to cause chaos at the Inn.
-
I thought those two little terrors had been re-homed. Aw poo. :-:
-
Nope. The couple expressed an interest in Wilbur and Harry or Winston and when they arrived Winston chose them. :evillaugh: He always has known how to get what he wants has that lad. ;)
-
Hope you're feeling a bit brighter T :hug:
T, I'm going to post a separate thread as don't want to clog up this one, but I'm needing a bit of advice on cat catching as we have a cat in the area which looks to be in desperate need of vets attention so wish me luck!

Hope you are feeling better T. :hug:
-
Also hoping you're feeling better Teresa. :hug: :hug:

Been home a week now and no nearer to solving who sparecatOllytwin is, I have only caught a ,fleeting glimpse of him/her feeding in the greenhouse once.
Anastasia has been very busy enjoying her new mode of transport up on my knee when I use the stairlift, she thinks its wonderful and was paddy pawing me so much yesterday the claws dug in and I let go of joystick which caused us to stop halfway up, not funny when you are bursting to go, finally arrived in the batroom and she is clawing to get on my knee the minute I reach the loo :rofl:
Wilbur and Big H are fine after mondays little op and all other cats are happy and well.
Doesnt this thread have a huge readership,I was shocked when I came home from hospital to note over 100000 hits,thats a first.
-
I had to laugh at this post,but could have been nasty lol.Keep well Teresa.x
-
You don't want that stairlift going any faster, T, it could catapult you out of the landing window :hairrasin: :rofl:
Hope that nasty cold has passed? Sly sending prrrrrps and nose wipes for good measure. xx
-
Doesnt this thread have a huge readership,I was shocked when I came home from hospital to note over 100000 hits,thats a first.
It certainly does! :hug: :wow: All of us love to hear of the Antics at the Inn and to keep a fond eye out for Aunty T.
-
I'll second that Sue. It's one of the first threads I head for when I come onto the forum. Although I don't always post I love to read what's been going on.
Anastasia's cheekiness made me chuckle today :evillaugh:
Hope you continue to recover Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Anastasia continues to get a tiny amount of exercise by dashing to the stairlift :rofl: We were half way up on Saturday when we spotted poor Olly looking jealously as if to say thought this was to be my park and ride. Really Anastasia is being quite naughty because when we reach bathroom shes up on my knee as soon as undies come down, I really need some advice on this How is one supposed to wipe oneself with a cat on their knee :rofl: ok funny but also very serious problem.Think I may need to put her up for rehoming. ;)
Debbie and new helper Natalie spent the afternoon cuddling and playing with the cats and gave the wicked Anastasia a good grooming :rofl: :rofl: at least I can get upstairs without sneezing.
I should own up to Friday when poor Carol came to do her weekly chores :rofl:things were so bad she ended up on the floor with her head in the oven :rofl: :rofl: poor Carol arrived to find me near to tears and a trail of devastation in the kitchen, I attempted some pie making and ended up with eggs leaking everywhere :rofl:
Rob has been allowed to stroke Wilma after all these years, I am so delighted but feel a little envious. Since the deaths of Monica and Hettie Wilma is to be found in the greenhouse cuddled up to Milly.
Chelsea has become a wonderful loving cat but will still go mad if another cat is spotted.
Feeling a bit down this morning, parcel man came with a huge heavy parcel addressed to me,I almost killed myself getting it into house, its a tent, now who in the world would buy me a tent,yes its brand new :Crazy:I thought perhaps it was for my great escape to sunnier clims but then realised I couldnt carry it and certainly couldnt get down on the floor Any ideas do you think its possible the Cats have decided on a camping holiday without telling me :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:Should add no invoice or anything to trace where its from, just my name and address on label.
Still no sightings of Sparecat.
-
Lucky Anastasia, very soon you will be going up the stairs with a bunch of cats sat on you hitching a lift. I hope you are feeling better, and not overdoing things.
A tent is a strange thing to be sent, not much use for keeping cats in either!! Maybe the wrong thing was packed up?
What is it with the toilet and cats wanting cuddles?? Wordy has mega cuddles in the morning when I'm on the loo. He actually walks straight to the bathroom when I get up, and has started pushing the door open for me!!! I have to pick him up now or he will jump and accidently scratch me!!
-
Hmmm, Theo goes a step further and likes to put his front paws on the seat watch the whirlpool as it goes down - you try telling him not to! :sick:
I've tried keeping a valerian toy in there as a distraction, but he still likes to sit on my knee.
Glad you've got so many pillion passengers, T. Makes every day that bit more fun for everyone.
-
Blimey - a tent!! :Crazy: :evillaugh:
A tent, a mystery cat, and a stairlift full of puds. There has to be a story in here somewhere...... :rofl:
Hope you're managing to get a small piece of the chair lift for yourself Teresa. :hug: :hug:
-
Must admit this tent has me worried, someone has spent good money on it.
Well this morning I tootled into the bathroom to find 3 yes 3 cats in my bath, last night I had dropped a pink hair bobble and you`ve guessed it 3 cats decided to have a football match in my bath,is nothing sacred one asks oneself; were these cats kittens No it was Olly age 9years, Anastasia age 13years plus and Tula age 15 years :rofl: Got my own back by leaving stairlift folded up and walking down stairs oops ended up on my butt and hurting my arm :rofl: :rofl:
Sheila this stairlift may be fun for the cats but I want to go back to the old me,the tomboy who could climb trees and do anything to save a cat.
-
No matter how you get up the stairs Teresa you are still the most amazing person and an inspiration to others :hug:
-
Glad to hear you're back at the Inn T and thanks for the PM (will respond in a mo). I'm most intrigued by this tent business!
x
-
Olly has finally mastered his park and ride system,he simply sits and waits for Rob to send it upstairs in the morning :rofl: :rofl:
Yesterday seemed such a busy day with Debbie and I trying to complete an important proof read before 2 new girls arrived,fortunately the girls were a little late and we finished most of the document.
We then had quite a rush doing jobs before taking our new girls to the vet. Debbie did most of the work but please note I was left to apply vaseline to their bottoms :rofl:
The girls were brought here because they have a problem and owners can no longer cope,both have diarhoea and both refuse to use a litter tray,seems things had got so bad they were running round the house dripping everywhere. They had been taken in 3 weeks ago from a BSB and fair do`s the people had tried.Anyway trip to vet new medication, change of diet and faeces sample taken in this morning will hopefully help. Both are delightful though one is timid, they currently have stained yellow fur in places due to so much trotting but they should soon feel happier and revert to black and white,they are about 5 months and called Bella and Daisy.
Rob continues to make good progress with Wilma who really enjoys her strokes, I am jealous.
Missing Winston like crazy and keep talking to the yucca palm where his Pen used to be, perhaps I need a distraction like finding out where this wretched tent has come from :rofl:
-
Teresa, you make me smile every day. Thank You.
Yes, I'd love to be able to shin up a tree again, too. Not gonna happen but I enjoyed it when I could ;D I'm grateful for my mobility, things could have gone so badly for me when I had my big motorbike crash (erm yes I've had several), but thankfully I still got my arms and legs and they do work to a degree. I wonder at your achievements, T, you really are a marvel.
I'd be inclined to flog the tent and use the cash for the Inn. It must be a nuisance. You planning any tabletop sales soon?
As for Winston, can you get a photo of him for that spot? At least your Yucca would get some peace. :shy:
Debbie sounds an absolute diamond - albeit one with an aversion to Vaseline :-:
Hope the girls get better soon, they're sure in the best place with you. Pictures please when they are back to BW (not yellow).
Jealous of Wilma or Rob? :evillaugh:
-
Poor Bella and Daisy - they do sound to be in a mess. Looks like I could be doing what I do best when I come tomorrow. ;)
-
Poor Bella and Daisy - they do sound to be in a mess. Looks like I could be doing what I do best when I come tomorrow. ;)
Whats that I wonder maybe photography :rofl: :rofl:
Must confess to people that the first time Carol came here I was full to bursting,immaculately groomed cats /kittens everywhere and Carol ends up in a Pen with Star and Sabrina 2 curly tailed kittens who just happened to need dirty bums washing :rofl: :rofl:
-
Teresa, hope you can get to the bottom (excuse the pun :evillaugh: ) of Bella and Daisy's problem.
I've just been reading Minimopsical's story :) Yet again I've been sat in the office trying to hold back a tear or two. I really should know better than to read these sort of things when I'm in the office.
-
Mystery of tent is solved, had a strange man on phone asking for my son who hasnt lived here for ages, strange man asked if I had a fishing bivvy well I thought the man was a maniac having no idea what a bivvy was ,so I ended the call and phoned my son,it turns out he had ordered this thing and when it didnt turn up got in touch with the supplier who phoned me. Strange thing is son had changed his address and parcel was addressed to me.
Son can now get in touch with company and explain, I will be glad to see the back of it and promise never to accept strange packages again.
Alison I go back and read about different cats quite often :hug: it does save on soap and water :rofl:
-
Daisy and Bella are an absolute delight. No "accidents" outside the litter tray since yesterday morning and this morning there were 2 piles of splat and one perfectly formed lump so hopefully we are winning.
Carol came yesterday and took these pictures.
Seems like the girls may be hungry :rofl:
Modified to say how delighted we are with Wilbur,many will remember him as poorly neck.
-
Beautiful!!!! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Hope you can sort the new girls tummy troubles out - they're gorgeous :Luv:
As for Wilbur :blow kiss: Just need to find him that fab home now :crossed:
-
Heard from Debbie that T was re-admitted to hospital this afternoon. :(
Sending lots of love T. Hope they get you sorted in double quick time. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh no - I hope they fix her up properly this time. :hug: :hug: :hug: for Teresa Xx
-
Bahhhh. Get better soon, Teresa.
-
Sending mega get well wishes to T and hoping you manage to get home soon xx
-
Aw no. :(
The photos of the girls are lovely, but want to send much love to Aunty T and hoping there can be a quick turnaround so she can be home again as soon as ever possible. :hug: :hug:
-
So sad to hear Teresa is back in hospital :( :( :( Sending lots of :hug: :hug: :hug: and positive vibes.
Can't get over how well handsome Wilbur looks :Luv2: :Luv2: and Bella and Daisy are very pretty :Luv: :Luv:
-
:get well: Teresa :care: :hug:
-
MacBeenz has been working very hard to develop his Locatur whikskas - him's not as experienced as his predecessor, but what he lacks in experience he makes up for in enthusiasm, and he wants to let Aunty T know he's sending the strongest Squeewheewheee's he can muster to help her keep her strengff up. :hug: :hug:
-
Any news on Teresa? :-:
Topping up the get well vibes :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa, bloomin eck lass. Now this time, stay put until you're fixed, OK? Best of vibes to get you fighting fit again :hug: :hug: :hug:
Carol, thank you for chasing around to let me know T was back in the big House. Definitely next time, though ;D
-
Sending lots of love to Aunty T today, and to Daddy Rob and all at the Inn. :hug: :hug:
-
Hope you are feeling better soon T! :hug: :hug:
-
Haven't been able to visit T this week because of a poorly but its better now so will be going on Saturday. Apparently she is very much up and down at the moment. She has her 'usual' pneumonia but they think something else is going on as well and keep changing her medication in an attempt to get it under control.
Sending lots of :Luv2: and :hug: :hug: :hug: with a generous sprinking of come home soon vibes.
Don't want to speak too soon but have just heard from Debbie that one of the long term Paws Inn residents is having a visitor this weekend. ;) Fingers crossed.
-
I hope they get whatever it is under control soon.
Nicky x
-
Oh Carol, am sad to hear that - it's bad enough for T having to cope with the "usual"
Hang on in there Teresa - we're all sending you tons of love and "get stronger" vibes :hug: :hug: Guess you'll be feeling pretty glum, but Mac wants to send you a big "Squeeewheeewheee" to keep you going. :Luv:
-
Hoping T is back on form soon. Strong lady, that one.
Not sure she'd appreciate it, but there's a song called Fighting Trousers, and it always makes me giggle....so here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iRTB-FTMdk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iRTB-FTMdk)
Hoping all is well at Paws Inn.
-
Haven't been able to visit T this week because of a poorly but its better now ............
In case anybody's wondering that should have said poorly eye :doh:
-
Was wondering what was poorly lol. :) Get well soon Teresa.x
-
Oh, your EYE, ok, thought something unmentionable was poorly. :shify: Hope it's not too sore, Carol.
Give T our love on Saturday, please, and tell her we're all vibing away like mad for her. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Just remembered I need some stuff from VetUk, can click through your website right? You get a bitty back? Fandabidozie ;D
http://www.pawsinncatrescue.co.uk/
-
Went to see T today. She's on IV ABs again and on-demand oxygen and is in a lot of pain but I was able to lift her spirits by showing her a picture I had taken a couple of hours earlier of a long-term Paws Inn resident looking very serene in a cat carrier, all ready for the journey to a lovely forever home. ;D ;D ;D I wonder if you can guess who it is. ;)
Debbie and I cried our eyes out as we waved good-bye, then T cried when I told her so I joined in to keep her company and no doubt there will more tears tomorrow when Debbie goes to visit T. You wouldn't think we were all over the moon would you. :evillaugh:
-
Carol, I can't wait to find out who has a new home - this is wonderful news.
Hope Teresa draws some strength from this, and the super-huge hugs and vibes we're sending for her.
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Is it Wilbur? :shify:
Can't wait to find out. Am sending much love and stripey MacBeenz MacSquee purrs for that poorly chest, Aunty T. We loves ya. :Luv: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope you are feeling much better soon T.
Ooh I wonder who it could be! Is it Olly?
-
I've got everything crossed for Baby Bea :Luv2: :Luv2:
Hope you had a comfortable night, T. :hug: :hug:
-
Oooo, a new home!!
Glad T is being cared for well, and that you managed to cheer her up. Sending a "get well soon" vibe.
-
Perhaps we should all get together and send Teresa a group "get well",eg @ noon tomorrow. :)
-
Teresa, sending you lots of get well wishes :hug:
Perhaps it's Chelsea with a new home ? ;D
-
Sending lots of Good Luck wishes to you T - can't believe you've had to go back into hospital :(
Hope you are feeling better soon and can escape back to the Inn
:hug:

Squeeeewheeewheee Aunty T? :-:
Sending much love to you Teresa from me and MacBeenz. :hug: :hug:
-
Sending lots and lots of get well vibes to Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Just a flying visit to let everyone know that I came home last night. Thankyou for all your good wishes :hug:
Must dash of to vet now and hopefully will be able to update on who got rehomed and who our new arrival is later today.
-
Yay! I always think vets are so much better than Doctors, don't you? ;) :hug: Hope all goes well for the visit. Love to hear back from you later, but don'toverdo it!
-
Great news T! Take care :hug:
-
Glad to hear that, Teresa. Take it easy - well as much as you can!
-
Glad you are home T and look forwad to your updates ;D
-
Welcome home, T. Looking forward to your updates. So pleased you've escaped and feel well enough to consult the vet. ;D
-
Winston, just makes you want to cry with joy
modified to add that Winston ate one after it was cooked.
-
Awww, those pics of Winston :Luv: :Luv: He looks a bit uncertain as to what he should be doing with those fish though :evillaugh:
Take it easy Teresa :hug:
-
:welcome: home Teresa :hug: Lovely to see you back online, hope you are feeling a bit stronger this time :hug:
Love the pics of young Winston :Luv: I do wonder whether the new owners have any idea what they have let themselves in for though :scared: He will be demanding freshly caught fish twice a day from now on :naughty: :evillaugh:
-
What a fabulous sequence of pictures :wow: He looks nonplussed :evillaugh: very very pleased he's bagged himself a forever home - and have to say, isn't he just splendid?!! :Luv:
MacBeenz MacSquee sends an admittedly sleepy Squeeewheeewheeee to his AUnty T this morning - he's very tired because these longer evenings and softer nights have led to so much more adventuring, and it takes it's toll even on the young. ;) :hug: :hug:
-
Aw Winston looks like he's well settled there. :Luv: And spoilt rotten by the look of him.
Was he the last of the holy terrors, T?
-
I love those pictures! He's a gorgeous boy. :) :Luv:
-
Carol has spent the day here working very hard, I did tell her she is not a good gossip and she has promised to post pic of the cat she and Debbie rehomed last week :rofl: Incidentally it was Chelsea.
The new boy that Rob and Julie took in on Sunday night is Cornelius, he has horrific injuries to one of his legs and has not yet been neutered, we are all smitten with him.His leg is being treated but vet says he will not be strong enough for anaesthetic for week or two. His age 6-8years,weight less than 3kg.
This afternoon Carol and I were called out to something that had been at end of womans garden for 3 weeks,woman thought it was blind and deaf and then thought it was dead but saw leg move, Carol and I didnt know whether we were going after a cat or sheep just something fluffy and dirty white, so the wonderful Carol politely stepped back and allowed me to do heavy breathing in the brambles :rofl: before scruffing cat who turned out to be Cordelia age 15 years plus, we have been to vet, medication administered and Cordelia enjoyed the food so much she licked the dish clean.Her weight just 2.8kg.
Daisy and Bella have been producing beautiful poop and samples returned from vet all cle
All else happy and well.
Sheila Winston isnt a member of holy terrors,he is one I rescued in december when his litter mate was fouund dead in garden. Wilbur and Big H are remaining 2 holy terrors.
-
Oh T, what a sorry looking pair! Thank goodness you've found them and are well enough to pull them back from the brink.
Keeping everything crossed XXX
Now, forgive my forgetfulness, Wilbur was....Bad hair Day?
Yes, yes of course Winston was the lucky little boy who had such a traumatic start in life. And now lovely Chelsea has been homed, Bella and Daisy will be snapped up quickly now I'm sure - such wonderful work you guys do, I'm agog :omg:
Also, I'm guessing Cordelia is the tricolour and Cornelius the grey/white?
Hope you're not overdoing it? But well done you and Carol. Hip Hip Hooray :hug:

Tut tut Sheila - you really need to do your homework or you'll never pass your exams. :evillaugh:
Wilbur was poorly neck the runt of the litter, not that he shows any indication of that now. He's as big as his brother Harry who was the largest of the litter (hence the nickname Big H). Bad hair day was Charlie, the long-haired grey.
You're right that Cornelius is the grey/white and Cordelia is the tricolour. She'll be beautiful bless her when she's cleaned up a bit and Cornelius is an absolute star. :Luv2:
T probably is overdoing it but you try stopping her. :evillaugh: She had Cordelia scruffed and in the carrier almost before I'd had time to open it. ;D
I've been seriously told off for not giving you the full story about Chelsea. Debbie and I really wanted things to work out for her and were terribly nervous because the potential adopter was a man and she has been known to vent her wrath on the male of the species. :scared: He was lovely and fell in love with her before long before we opened her pen. She clearly knew which side her bread was buttered and was all over him. ;D He had brought a front loading carrier and we were a bit concerned that we might have trouble getting her into it but as soon as he opened it she walked right in, turned around and sat down expectantly as if to say right, are we off then. We'd given him her full story and advised him that she could take a long time to settle and that he should be prepared for her to hide etc etc but within an hour Debbie had received a text telling her that Chelsea came out of her carrier, had a nose around and was currently sitting on his knee purring and enjoying cuddles. Is it any wonder that we were in tears.
Wilbur and Harry are very pleased for her because they now have a big pen with an outside run and have been making the most of the good weather.
Bella and Daisy are just :Luv2: :Luv2: Mind you I may be biased because they remind me so much of my ex-Paws Inn cats Bunty and Biggles (formerly known as Dandelion and Burdock) They're even in the same pen that my two were in.
ANyway, here's Chelsea ready for the off. :Luv2:
-
Really pleased to hear you're home Teresa, feel like I have to say try and take it easy but I bet you won't!
Cornelius and Cordelia :Luv: :Luv2:
Love the pictures of Winston and the fish! Good job they didn't bring him home a full turkey :evillaugh:
Take care (please!)
x
-
What wonderful pics of Chelsea :Luv: :Luv: And what a lovely story about her rehoming :Luv2:
Poor Cornelius and Cordelia :( They do look a bit sorry for themselves. I'm sure with the tender love and care they will get a Paws Inn they'll very soon be fighting fit.
-
Sooooo pleased that Chelsea has finally nabbed herself a slave. She's waited a long time for the right human.
I think this warrants a dancing banana or two: :yayyy: :yayyy:
:Luv:
-
Really pleased with Cornelius`s leg this morning, hes still unable to put any weight on it but he is keeping it clean and no new puss pocket today.
Cordelia is like sleeping beauty,though think the ear drops are helping her cauliflower ear as she does seem to be hearing a little now and wakes up when disturbed, she no longer appears dead :rofl: and when she is awake has a voice capable of giving Kiri Tikywotsit a run for her money :rofl: hopefully tomorrow Debbie and Natalie will do some serious grooming and she and Cornelius will turn into swans.
Had an email and lots of pictures of Chelsea in her new home yesterday,my shes landed on her paws.
All else happy and well
-
So pleased to hear you're(out and about!) Teresa,i just wonder how some one could leave an animal in their garden for 3 weeks. Keep well. :hug:
-

Woman actually thought it was a dead body until a foot moved. in fairness she was in brambles and not readily accessible unless your an idiot like me.
-
What a lucky cat that you got her....bless Cordelia. She looks a great old lady. And Cornelius is very handsome....can see why you've all fallen for him!
-
Great to hear that you are on the mend again T.
Cornelius certainly is a handsome chap.
-
Fantastic news for Chelsea :wow:
The two newbies could certainly do with a bit of Paws Inn polish, poor babies :care:
-
Aww Chelsea. So pleased she has found her hooMAN xx
Now you know I favour the monochrome versions - I thought you'd like to see something altogether totally erm, the same.... meet Pursley, my 15 year old grand dame! Or is it ??
-
Sheila she is beautiful and of course the best colour.
I did a little potato digging in Cordelias ears yesterday and gave her face a bit of a wash, Debbie then took over the hard bit and furminated her which she enjoyed,she certainly looks better for it though I am concerned about her chest and ear so Debbie is going to try to finish work early and take her back to vet today.
Debbie also furminated Cornelius who is beginning to look very handsome,his eyes are no longer sunken and his coat is looking clean. He is still unable to put weight on his injured leg and always lies covering it. On inspection it is clean and not as swollen so hopefully it will improve over time.
Debbie and Natalie were both assigned the task of strongholding all the cats, I believe they may have had a little help from a peacock feather dont ask :rofl: my job then was to lay on settee keeping it warm :rofl: hard work but I managed.
-
Aw Teresa.... :Luv:
-
Teresa, they are both lovely and will be so pretty when their physical and emotional wounds have healed. I know they will thrive under your care. :hug:
Good luck to Cordelia for her vet visit today, well done Debbie :crossed:
-
Cordelia looks like an old teddy bear. Bless her heart. And Cornelius is SO handsome!
-
Aww, they're both so sweet :Luv: :Luv: I'm sure with the wonderful care they'll both be getting at Paws Inn they will look tip top in no time at all :) :)
-
Following vets advice Cordelia is now in the living room with me, she really is in a sorry state, Andy gave her Convenia and told Debbie that we should give her a week to improve,he suspects Fiv/Felv,her chest is not good,the cauliflower ear he thinks is result of haemotoma but other ear he suspects melonoma. Also signs of kidney failure.
Yesterdays first new inmate has been called Pansydora (I saw it on forum and rather liked it) poor scrawny girl broke into someones cat flap and was rewarded by the live in entire tom raping her, shes only about 4-5 months. She is a sweetie despite everything and was so hungry she even enjoyed the worm pill. Poor Debbie had lots to do re arranging and scrubbing Pens to make space. We have booked entire tom in for castrate at our expense. Pansydora is a very beautiful black/white.
At 6.45pm mum and kitten arrived,(as yet unnamed) so poor Debbie settled those in too.
Pictures will have to wait as lots to do and Carol is in France,Julie is in Wales and now its time for me to keep the settee warm. :rofl: :rofl:
Mum cat is tortie and kitten tabby.
-
Poor Cordelia :(
Pansydora - lovely name Teresa :)
-
Oh poor wee Cordelia, such a shame. Sending some strengthening vibes her way. :hug:
Pansydora - oh boy has she landed on all four paws - I bet she can't believe her luck. Is she preggers then or can that be sorted when she is spayed? Good that the owners of Tommy bigballs are succeptible to your charms, T :evillaugh:
Another Mum and kitten? Just one this time? Aw bless.
I guess you're branching out with these new colours T, first Cordelia now torties and tabbies? What's going on up there !
-
Poor Coredlia, hope the predictions are wrong and that she has the strength to pull through :( :hug:
Sounds like you are choc-a-block again with all the newbies :hug:
-
Sending positive thoughts for the lady Cordelia. She's beautiful, bless her, and I'm glad that she's found herself oin your care Teresa, whatever the long term prognosis may be. :hug: :hug:
Poor Pansydora. I guess that's a salutary lesson about breaking and entering, but again, it's an ill wind that blows no-one any good. ;)
Sending lots of Squeeewheeewheee's for Cornelius from MacBeenz. They have "healin powas" apparently...... :-:
-
Cornelia is looking slightly stronger this morning so fingers crossed.
Poor Cornelius has been rushed to vet this morning,his wound beginning to swell again,so Felv/Fiv test, Xray and course of action decided then.
Wont know anything till later.
-
:crossed: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh T - is there ever a day goes by when your poor heart isn't in your mouth? :hug:
-
Just 'checked-in' on this thread after an absence of a few weeks. What wonderful news that Chelsea has gone to a new home. And a very special home too by the sounds of it :hug:
Fingers crossed for some good news for the wonderfully named Cornelius and Cordelia.
I agree with another poster on here - just what's going on with all these exotically coloured new residents?!?
Hope all is well at the Inn today,
S.x
-
Morning Teresa. Just wanted to pop by and say am hoping that things have settled down for Cornelius - poor little feller. :hug: :hug:
-
Same here, T. Big :hug: :hug: for you for strength.
Sheila x
-
Oh T - is there ever a day goes by when your poor heart isn't in your mouth? :hug:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Sheila didnt you realise nothing about me is normal :hug: My eldest son told his fiancee that I am the most hard core woman in the world :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I think he meant I`m tough so never worry about me I just take it all in my stride.
Good News my little Cornelius is Fiv/Felv negative :yayyy: Andy took fluid from joint which was clear, he tried to get some of the green pussy stuff but couldnt get enough to test. Hes been xrayed and no apparent break, Andy has changed his antibiotic and says he may need to stay on them for another 6 weeks,amputation will be last resort; thank God for a brilliant vet. Incidentally Cornelius was castrated yesterday.This little man is soooo special.
Cordelia is eating well and giving me fresh hope everyday.
All other cats and kittens happy and well. Think the settee is crying to be kept warm :rofl: :rofl:
-
Definitely don't neglect your settee...it needs you. :)
Great news about Cornelius. :) And of course all the other cats and kittens!
-
Just a very brief post today, I wanted to let you know that Cordelia has tried to wash herself this afternoon.
The settee has needed keeping warm quite a lot :rofl: :rofl:
-
That's such a good sign - washing is so positive. Here's hoping xx
Your settee feeling neglected? I'd do something about that :naughty:
-
Sending lots of love to all at the Inn. :hug: I hope Cordelia is continuing to show an interest in her appearance and the new ABs are working for Cornelius.
-
Hope that settee is good and cosy. Happy Easter to all at the Inn. :hug: :hug:
-
Still havent managed any photos of new arrivals but they are all doing fine. Bella and Daisy are now ready for homing. Pansydora is still on poop watch but doing ok. Mum and her kitten are adorable,think we will aim to get mum spay this week and then as soon as first vaccs done they can be put up for rehoming.
Unbelievable Wilbur and Big H are still here but quite happy in their big Pen with outside run.Cornelius is looking quite good now but still hiding his injured leg and refusing to straighten it or put weight on it,so we soldier on. Cordelia looks so scruffy with an almost constant discharge from her eyes and a woolly looking coat, Debbie is coming tomorrow so furminator can come out again,afraid if I tried it would kill me; meanwhile she is eating really well now and is alert to her surroundings, I doubt Carol will recognise her as the scrawny thing we picked up, I know the blood test cometh but I really am not worried now.
This settee really needs me and as I have an hour spare before Cornelius needs his pain relief I best lay down to ensure maximum spread of warmth :rofl:
Happy Easter Everyone esp Macbeenz :hug:
-
Hope Eater was kind to the Inn. We're suffering from mucky paw syndrome - the entire house is covered in a fine patterned silt.
Thank goodness for JML Micromop. Must get OH to get it out ;)
-
Debbie worked really hard all day while I warmed the settee, she even got some photos.
Firstly Cordelia,what a difference 10 days makes,no longer a scrawny kipper,taking an interest in her surroundings and does try to wash though not very successfully,Debbie took these pics just after washing her face and grooming her,her eyes constantly weep.
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: for Cordelia and Cornelius. I hope they continue to improve. And Teresa, I'm glad to hear you have bonded with your sofa - that will help you look after yourself. X
-
Next is Cornelius who is finally trying to put his injured leg on the ground,really good news
-
Both full of character Xxx :Luv2:
-
Next are sisters Bella and Daisy looking much brighter
-
Meet Nerissa if you think shes beautiful wait till you see her mum.
-
Oooooooooooh :Luv2: too much kitty love
-
Heres Portia mum to Nerissa
-
Yep :rofl: she's gorgeous too! Purrfect eyeliner. Looks like she may have some tortitude too. Xxxx
-
and finally Pansydora, sorry could not get pics of the others as you will see last pic entitled photographer sacked :rofl:
Thanks Debbie :hug:
-
Oh my - I turn me back for a few days and look what happens. :Luv2: Lovely kitties and I love the names, especially Nerissa.
Every time I look at Bella and Daisy I'm reminded of these two former Paws Inn-mates.
-
Gorgeous gorgeous pictures. Cornelius and Cordelia :Luv: And Daisy's nose! :wow: :Luv2: All of them are just purrfect. :)
So pleased all at the Inn have had a lovely Easter.
-
Good grief....what stunning cats! :Luv: As always, doing an amazing job Teresa - you and your volunteers. :)
-

Morning Sheila and thanks for thinking of us but afraid these vets are not for us.
Thankfully our vets are excellent, they are their for us day and night which is most important,they are uptodate with latest equipment and treatments and yes they do charge a consultation. Afraid I read about this group a little while ago and it really set me thinking O Lord NO, and so even if we were remotely near to them I would prefer to use my vets.
Perhaps I will put my worrying thoughts on the appropriate thread, this is for Paws Inn updates.
-
They are all lovely, but I think Pansydora is just beautiful, you will work your magic on them all as usual. I hope you are taking care of yourself and getting enough sofa time.
Nicky
-
What's the appropriate thread? I'm interested on your views with this, Teresa.
-
Oh my... :blow kiss: What a gorgeous bunch :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Morning all - hope everyone is in fine fettle at the Inn this morning. ;D
-
I seem to have lost track of the week; Carol came I think wednesday and during her rounds informed me that Tula had a hole in her bum, I inspected it as best I could (Tula is a former feral) my diagnosis was Carol had bitten her :rofl: and she needed the vet; fortunately Debbie had a 5 ish appointment to take Pansydora and Cordelia so somehow I got poor Tula into a crush cage and left Carol and Debbie to do the vet visit while I warmed the settee.
Pansydora as expected has mild flu and vet will check her next week regards rape/spay etc.
Poor Tula Carol hadnt bitten her, her anal gland had exploded so pain relief and antibiotics given and I imagine Carol will keep well away from her bottom :rofl: :rofl:
On the quiet I think Carol has a thing about botties,the first time she came here we were full to bursting and everything was wonderful until Carol discovered 2 long haired kittens with mucky bums :rofl: :rofl: In fairness she did clean them :rofl:
Andy vet saw them with Cordelia in waiting room and thought PTS he was evidently amazed with her progress and no longer rushing for Fiv/Felv tests, she is still a little chesty but looks good and is now 3.3kg; suspicion is she has thyroid trouble but Andy needs to wait a while before he tests,meanwhile are beautiful old girl is happy to demand lots of gourmet meals and catch upon her beauty sleep.
All at Inn are doing fine and seem happy.
-
Ouch! Poor Tula :care: Hope Pansydora goes on to make a speedy recovery too :care: Edit: Didn't mean to leave poor Cordelia out of the headkisses so here's some extra for her :care: :care:
Which of the newbies are ready to go on the site for rehoming as I'll get cracking with temporary entries ;D
-
Updates are top of my to do list Helen but the sun has just come out again so it'll probably be tonight when OH is watching the rugby. ;)
I know you've already had loads of pics but I'n love with these two. :Luv2:
-
:thanks: Carol, those are gorgeous pics and didn't have those so have nabbed them for the rehoming :)
-
Evening all at the Inn. What gawwwwjuss puddies! :Luv2: Pansydora and Nerissa. yummmmm
Poor Tula - that sounds pretty awful. :-: Well spotted Carol :)
Hope you're not neglecting that sofa, Teresa? :hug:
-
Catchat pages and pawsinn website now both up to date thanks to Helen and Carol.
Am really delighted.
-
Aunty T you are a star wonderful article in the sunday people and you are looking so well and you kept it awfully quiet
All the residents at the Inn are very lucky safe babies xx
-
Just read that Sunday People article on-line. Really positive and feel-good stuff, exactly the right tone to get folk thinking. :) Nice One T! ;D
Happy to post the link here if you like?
Sheila

Thanks Liz and Sheila, there are lovely pics of Anastasia and Cordelia in the newspaper but I dont think they are online so Sheila feel free to post link if you wish.

That's a lovely article Teresa, well done and hopefully it will prove to be a boost for Paws Inn too.

Helen has done some clever stuff with the photos on the websites. Who could resist this http://www.catchat.org/pawsinn/cgibin/prview.cgi?id=2012041508 or this http://www.catchat.org/pawsinn/cgibin/prview.cgi?id=2012041506
Aunty T has been very remiss in not updating you on Jeffrey, the lovely black boy who had one of his front legs amputated. His new mum visited the Inn on Wednesday when I was there and had lots of photos to show us, including one of the very large tree that he climbed :shocked: Of course he couldn't get down again :evillaugh: so her husband got a big ladder and up he went to the rescue. :Luv2: Jeffrey may only have 3 paws but he's certainly landed on them. :rofl:
-
Reading this has just brought a huge grin to my face. ;D
Well done, Teresa. :hug: :hug: Such great news to hear Jeffrey is behaving just as he would with all four paws, let alone three. Typical of one of your babies! :evillaugh:

Lovely pics :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Fab article and praise that is well deserved :) :)

Great article Teresa, a well deserved 15 minutes of fame! :hug:

Great article Teresa, a well deserved 15 minutes of fame! :hug:
Sorry but fame is the last thing on my shopping list.
-
Yes I know, figure of speech ;)
-
Think of it as a raised profile in terms of making people see what's needed so increasing awareness of the work to be done and the much needed cash to facilitate it :hug: :hug:
Hope all at the Inn are snug and warm this rather blustery, rainy April morning.
-
Things not very good at the Inn at present and we are back and to with different ones needing veterinary treatment.
So for Winston fans the latest update, he was neutered about 3 week ago now.
Hello Teresa,
I am sure you will be pleased to know that our lovely Winston continues to do very well.
Over the last week or so, we have introduced him to the outside world, we started with the back garden, which is walled all the way around and although nervous at first, he loves it now.
Since the middle of this week he has grown in confidence and decided to over the garden trellis and into the bigger garden at the back!
When he was ready and not before, he trotted back, took a look at us and off he went again.
As I type this he is sat behind me on the computer chair, one of his new hobbies!
He is such a loving cat, he loves to be on my knee or in my arms and just purrs like an engine - he is an absolute joy and we love him to bits.
I hope you get some more interest for your other cats, it's lovely to give a home to a cat who had a poor start in life.
I hope you are keeping well.
Wendy, Richard and Winston
-
Fab news about Winston, he's a very loved little boy isn't he? ;D
Great pics on your site pages. Nerissa is sooo appealing. :Luv2:
Sad to hear of sickness in the camp. Who is breaking our hearts this week, T ? :hug:
-
Winston is beyond handsome. :Luv:
Hope things are better at the Inn soon.
-
Am so sorry to hear that Teresa. Sending snoozles from me and Young MacBeenz for the poorly puds. :hug: :hug:
How fab does Winston look in his new garden? :wow: :wow: Handsome boy :Luv:
-
Love the photos of Winston venturing outside :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: He is very slender isn't he?! Handsome tho ;)
I am in love with Portia tho, I bet her and Narissa aren't looking for a home for long
-
Hope the poorly residents don't stay that way for long :hug: :hug: :hug:
Fab pics of the Turkey-Twizzler himself :wow: I did wonder why you had posted the last pic of some plants... until I saw him hiding behind it! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Just popping by to send hugs and snoozles to the poorly occupants of the Inn, and to send a cheerful Squeeewheeeewheee to all. :hug: :hug:

Lovely pics of Winston :Luv: :Luv: So lovely to hear how he's settled in so well :)
-
Sending gentle headkisses for those that need it at paws Inn today :care: :hug:
-
Just popping by to say a quick hello T. Nice article in the press, hope generates cash donations from kind people rather than cat donations from scumbags wanting to ditch their pets!
Hope the patients are making good progress.

Hi T hun and all at the Inn
Way long over due from me being awol for so long but have thought about all the rescue babes on Purrs and the rescues every day and just wanted to send all my love over with huge hugs for you all.
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Work has continued apace at the Inn while I've been on hols. The good news is the poorly ones are all better :phew: with Pansydora (who was the worst affected) being fit enough for her first vaccinations today, along with Portia (who was speyed last week) and her kitten Nerissa.
Over the weekend there have been 10, yes that really is TEN new additions :faint: so the Inn is once again bursting at the seams. Sadly no homings and none in the offing. :(
No pics I'm afraid because I didn't have my camera but I did get some decent ones of Rosalind and crew on T's camera and I'm sure she'll post them when if she gets time.
In the meantime, here is a rundown of newbies. I'll let you guess the colours. ;)
Mum Athena :Luv2: and her four 3-week old kittens Old Gobbo, Puck, Francis Flute and Peaseblossom (3 boys 1 girl).
Mum Rosalind and her four 3-week old kittens who co-incidentally were born on the same day as Athena's kittens. There are 3 girls and 1 boy, but the only name I can remember is Cobweb :Luv2: (I find the Shakespearean theme a bit challenging - never was my strong suite :-[ )
Two older kittens Happy and Rainbow :Luv2: :Luv2: who came from the same house as Athena but have a different mum. The lady said they were born between Christmas and New Year but they're very small and vet Andy doubts they're that old but has declared them healthy and gave them their first vaccs today.
-
Thanks for the update Carol. Blimey bursting at the seams is right :Crazy: Looking forward to pics of latest additions when/if Teresa can find the time :hug:
-
Looks like its not only my Shakespeare thats dodgy but my maths as well. :-[
2 mums each with 4 kittens plus 2 older kittens makes 12 doesn't it and not 10 as I said. :rofl:
Should also have mentioned that Happy and Rainbow (who arrived with those names) are both girls.
-
Some of Carols pics
-
more of Carols pics
-
Rosalinde and family
-
What lovely pictures.
Shakespear brought tears to my eyes as he looks like our cat Penguin who passed earlier this year.
-
What an adorable bunch! :Luv2: Well they look adorable from over here :naughty:
"Cor, you're amazing" and da best to you and all your team at the Inn. No wonder it's been quiet on the thread, mefinks you might have been a tad busy. :hug:
-
Wow! :Crazy: I thought Paws Inn was already bursting at the seams, you certainly have been busy :hug: Glad to hear the poorly ones are feeling better and hope that includes you Teresa :hug:
Are any of the new intake ready to go on the websites? Just let me know if they are...
-
Beautiful pictures - you must be so busy Teresa :hug: :hug:
Anastasia is looking very contented :Luv:
-
I was wondering about the lovely lady with the smaller ears and a lovely collar :shy: I felt sure she must be much loved due to the care she obviously had experienced in the past and hoped her slaves would find her quickly.
Then I saw the name and, oh Teresa, Anastasia looks fabulous and I remembered she is yours for keeps :) You've worked your magic with her. You truly have. One very chilled out looking lovely :Luv:
The second along from mom's tail seems to have a rather big foot :shocked: :)
-
Great photos....Anastasia is my fave. :Luv: :Luv: I like the serious looking kitten too, though. Wonder what they're worrying about..... ;)
-
Rosella you need specsavers :rofl: its actually 3rd kitten along and foot belongs to mum. :rofl:
Anastasia yes we removed her cancerous ears some years ago before rehoming her, I did say she was going to be with us forever as there is concern about her nose,however if the right home comes along who knows.
Beautiful pictures - you must be so busy Teresa :hug: :hug:
Anastasia is looking very contented :Luv:
In truth Paws Inn is always busy though latest additions have really stretched us to the limit. As for me heartbreakingly I do very little,poor Rob mucks out every morning and feeds,I have the most wonderful helpers in Debbie,Carol, and Julie and of course Helen who does the website,left to me alone Paws Inn would have folded in October 2009. I merely attend to phones/emails and worry were the next lot of cat food is coming from.In truth I have been known to scrat the odd cat when I had accidentally doubled my morphine :rofl: fortunately only Carol witnessed that :rofl: :rofl:
We have so many cats who never receive a mention so will attempt to run through everything thats if I can stay awake long enough :rofl:
Fuchsia Black/white is a grand old lady now,she came here in 1997 aged 5years, she is now an affectionate old soul but has a grade 5/6 heart murmur and bladder stones,just realised that makes her 20ish.
Ivan the terrible black came to us around 1999,all I am going to say was that he fell out of a wagon which was full of illegal immigrants.Hes a Kosovan with horrendous allergies and the most lovable lad.
Cat and Chat tabby brothers around 8years one strokable the other still wild.
Olly Black/white our new President,he has sacral illiac pins following an RTA and suffers nerve damage so remains here on vets advice.
Tula Tabby former feral but learnt to trust us came here in 2000, shes lovable now.
Anastasia Grey/white well I think everyone knows her.
Milly Black/White feral though we can fuss her when she wants aged about 8 years.
Wilma Black feral mildly CH girl is only just beginning to let Rob stroke her after 14 years.
Cornelius Grey/white bless him, today he finishes 7weeks of antibiotics following horrific leg injuries, hes beautiful and lovable despite all hes been through.
Fontaine and Dainty Black been her almost 2 years now .
Ginga Ninja,lovable, Noodles ginger shes getting there, Grasshopper tabby still very timid been here since 2009.
Cordelia calico ancient 20 year old, loves her food.
Portia and Nerissa tortie mum tabby kitten seeking home together, both are lovable to the extreme.
Baby Bea Black/white shes still here,we just havent found anyone good enough for her.
Happy and Rainbow black female kittens arrived last week from multicat household, they are lovely though very undersized.
Athena black/white with kittens Peasblossom, Old Gobbo ,Francis Flute and Puck, mum is adorable.
Then theres Rosalind white/tabby with her kittens Tom Snout,Titiania,Perdita and Cobweb.
I almost forgot Big H and Wilbur Black the most lovable,athletic boys you could wish to meet they are last 2 of Holy Terrors,people have viewed them and knocked them back because they are "TOO GOOD"
Think thats all for now.
Modified to say that Heaven forbid I forgot Pansydora the little troublemaker who was raped at just 4 months and had horrific cat flu, shes not pregnant so spay can wait,meanwhile shes enjoying being a proper little madam.
O dear Darth Vader forgot him too, total feral, scruffy but enjoys calling here for his tucker.
I need the sack :rofl: Carol has just informed me I forgot Bella and Daisy,black/white 5 month old sisters who we have just spayed and microchipped,these are adorable girls

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS
Already full to bursting I took an urgent call about mum and kittens last night and it worried me sick, Rob was left to set up collapsible and scrub a proper Pen,poor Debbie was phoned at 9pm to take me to Middlewich.
The poor mum cat and her 4 babies were dumped on the canalside in Middlewich, the finder had noticed the box 2 days previous and thought nothing of it, yesterday evening she was walking by the canal again and noticed box still there, imagine her horror when she decided to peep in,she grabbed the box and ran home before calling us.
The mother cat was almost "out of it" no interest in her starving babies, obviously suffering from malnutrion and shortage of calcium. The 4 babies were trying to eat food bowl anything they were so starved,we think they are about 3 weeks old.
Another day and mum would have died.
Thankfully we were able to fill mum cat with cat milk to help replenish calcium, we fed kittens and thankfully this morning after another huge bowl of milk and breakfast mum recognises her kittens again.
This disgusts me,last month it was poor Cordelia left in a garden 3weeks for dead,in March poor Cornelius with untold injuries which we are still treating,not to mention all the other inmates with sorry tales to tell.
In the last month we have received £170 in donations of which £70 was the result of the Sunday People article;I think this should speak for itself,people do not value the most precious lives of animals and their money certainly doesnt go to charity. Rant over.

Sitting here reading this story while crying,how can "people"do this? they need their comeuppance,hanging by the neck wouldn't be too good for them.......... >:(
-
Hugs all round to you, your helpers and the cats, especially the canal side cats which have clearly you and the walker to thank. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Words fail me, for the people that call themselves humans that did this to them. :censored:

OMG!!!! Words fail me.....it makes me ashamed to be called human!! :'( :'( How can anyone do this????? :Crazy: Really hope mom and babies will be ok, T :scared:
Thank God for you and Paws Inn! :hug: :hug: :hug:

Can't really add much to Shirley's post, but will add a few more :hug: :hug: :hug: and a donation for good measure.

What a heartbreaking story. :'( Sending lots of :hug: :hug: :hug: for mum and babies and :hug: :hug: :hug: for Teresa, Debbie and Rob for going into action so quickly despite being full to bursting.
As most of you know I'm a regular visitor to Paws Inn and I'm struggling to imagine how she has managed to squeeze these poor souls in but I do know they will be getting love and care that is second to none. If T can't bring them round then nobody can.
-
:'( :'( I will never understand why anyone could hurt any living, cause any other human or animal pain & Suffering :censored: :censored:
Sending loads of love & Hugs over to you all T
and also transferred money to Paws Inn from Buster fund for darlin Cornelius :hug: :hug: and donations :hug: :hug:
-
This is sickening. Thank you for taking these little ones in, T. :hug:
Have everything crossed for their recovery, and think you should send the Sunday People another story to publish about this - it may help to prevent even one more kitten from dying a horrible, cold and lonely death.
I hope whoever did this gets what he/she deserves on judgement day. >:(
OH asked what I'd do with his Premium Bonds win - only £25 - but as he didn't seem to know what to do with it, well there was only one choice, wasn't there? :evillaugh:
-
Oh Teresa. That's truly horrific. Thank goodness the woman found them, and thank goodness she was able to appeal to you. For all that you're bursting at the seams, bless you for your caring. :hug: :hug:
What a sorry tale over the last week, with Mums and babies. :(

We have now transferred Teresa's Paws Inn website over to the new system ;D
Please take a look and let us know what you think .. and while ya there have a look at the wonderful babes needing a home. :Luv: :Luv:
http://www.pawsinncatrescue.co.uk/ (http://www.pawsinncatrescue.co.uk/)
There is a special appeal on at the mo as Paws Inn is Bursting with so many needy ones :'( in so if you can help in any way with donations that would be so great. :Luv: Anything can be donated from Cat Food to dosh if you have any spare :sneaky:
lol i sound like Sir Bob again! :shy:

The donation link on the special appeal section of the website isn't working.
Also could someone confirm whether CW8 is sufficient in the postcode to get donation deliveries correctly delivered direct.

Hi Poppycat
Thanks very much. I have fixed the link on the appeals page to Donations.
I think Teresa is only doing donations through the paypal link at the mo not through post but will check.

What an excellent idea - I only have a very small amount of premium bonds but was lucky enough to win £25 this month too so will follow your OH's lead and send it to the little ones (and big ones) at Paws Inn :hug:
-
Thank you all :hug:
Emergencies have cropped up and I dont have Debbie today but will still try and get pics.
Have looked at our list of Shakesperian characters and decided on some names, I best also put colours next to names. All are much brighter this morning including poor mum who we feel has been beaten in the past because of her reactions. This darling girl will only know love and a full tummy in future.
Anyway names
Mum is dark tortie she is Olivia
Boy is Ginger his name is Orlando
1st Girl is pure black her name is Ophelia
2nd girl (and weakest) is tortie and white her name is Cassandra
3rd girl is pure white her name is Constance

Love to all at the Inn the beautiful morning. Really liking those names, T, but am a bit worried about your emergencies. :scared: :hug: :hug:
-
human exhausted but heres Olivia showing her bones but so much better. Got lots more pics but later.
-
Aww, bless Olivia and her babies. I can't imagine what possesses someone to dump a cat like that when there are rescue centres. :'( :'( :'(
So glad that are now receiving the care that they need.
-
I see lots of people have been drooling over these pictures :rofl: Olivia is bright again today as our her babies who seem to have doubled in size.
Thought I would post some more drooling material,anyone want to come over here and help :rofl: :rofl:
-
And a few more. Carol took quite a few on her camera so hopefully there will be more to come.
Now Rosella Isnt the photo comp due soon. As you can see Old Gobbo has expressed a desire to be a male model :rofl:
-
Thought I would post some more drooling material,anyone want to come over here and help :rofl: :rofl:
Definately drooling material!! :wow: Great pic of Old Gobbo, ;D
Wish i lived near enough to help! :hug:

:rofl: :rofl:
Oh Lordy - how beautful - what a wonderful collection of Mummies and babies. Happy is a stunning cat. Absolutely stunning - like a black Bast.
-
Lovely pics,i was tempted to offer my help(even though i reckon i'm too far!) but my oldies are 18-17-maybe 16,plus my middle one had dementia and doesn't like any changes.Trying not to think how he'll cope when i move house. Rosalind looks like a kitten herself. :Luv:

Thanks Nicky, I wonder what he would make of us using his names for cats :rofl: I suppose we could use Enid Blyton when the Bard is exhausted :rofl:

Popping in to say Hi to everyone at the Inn this morning, and young Ross (Foo Fighter Extraordinaire [of the Order of the Curly Whiskers]) wants to say "waaaaah" to everyone too. :wow: :wow: He can't wait til his meowmy allows his to press da buttons onna pooter and then he can join in the fun too......
Hugs to all :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Yup, I'm definitely in the Happy and Rainbow camp. ;) Stunners the pair of them. And Old Gobbo looks a total card. :)
-
Its been a tough couple of days at the Inn, but thank God for Carol.
Just before 5 this afternoon Carol and myself had the tough task of taking dear old Cordelia to the vets.
Cordelia has had a couple of months here with food and grooming a plenty,she even enjoyed Coronation St. and extra rations :rofl:
This morning quite unexpectedly Cordelia began to struggle on the tray,normally her piddle has been like a fountain, today nothing and I mean nothing. Vet said she could have done bloods and put her on a drip but in a couple of weeks we would be back. The Miss Piggy of the cat world it seems had several things going on beside her kidneys. I think Carol and I are still in shock.
So the sweet old dear was put to sleep and was gone within a second of needle touching her.
Goodnight Godbless " Miss Piggy"
-
Oh Aunty T our thoughts are with you all at the Inn, Good speed Miss Cordelia loved and wanted at the end and always a special Paws Inn baby :hug:
-
Awwwwww that's sad news. :hug: :hug: :hug: to all and good luck Cordelia - enjoy Corrie at the bridge. Xxx
-
Night night and God bless Cordelia. :hug: When you astounded the vets by recovering from your chest infection we thought you would have longer than this but it wasn't to be. :'(
Some good news today - Olivia's kittens have started to lap. Well, all except Cassandra that is but she's still wrestling wth how to find her way to the milk bar. Should add she does get there eventually. :)
-
Very sorry to hear the sad news about Cordelia, I have no doubt she has been treated like a Princess during her time at Paws Inn and at least she went knowing love and kindness. RIP Cordelia, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx
Hope you are feeling OK Teresa :hug: How is Rosalind doing? :hug:
-
Teresa, am so sorry. :hug: :hug:
Am pleased that Cordelia found somewhere safe to rest her paws and enjoy her remaining days - she couldn't have found a better place.
Gods bless, Cordelia. Be happy, sweetheart.
-
Always sad to hear a furry has gone to the bridge......sweet dreams Cordelia :( :( :(
Hope you're ok T :hug: :hug:
-
Oh that's sad about Cordelia :( I'm so glad her last days were spent at the inn where she was loved and pampered.
-
Have to agree that the wise old lady cat was smart; she was with someone who loved her when she went. Rest Easy, Cordelia.
:care: Hope you're all OK.
-
Another tough day, Rosalind has been back to see Andy this afternoon,hes given her some anabolics and vitamins in the hope it will boost her appetite,she has been offered every kind of cat food imagineable, pilchard in tomato sauce, freshly cooked chicken and been syringe fed AD and cat milk,all to no avail; her kittens who are in the house with me are not being co operative either,they want their mummys milk not anything that I have to offer, I am sitting here covered in all sorts but at least babies have full tummies for now,Tom Snout even drew blood from my lip :rofl: Dont think I have any tears left to cry,wouldnt be so bad if mum would eat. Vet has advised mum cat is totally removed from kittens,somehow I find myself looking back at dwarfs,holy terrors and hundreds more with fond memories and thinking this lot will soon grow up;they have already been named the fuss pots :rofl:
Baby Cassandra has also felt the force of my fingers with kitten meat, shes ok but way behind her siblings who are lapping small amounts. Have also given Athenas 4 lessons in lapping.
All else seem ok.
-
So sorry to hear about Cordela. Poor Rosalind, I hope she perks up soon and can be reunited with her kittens.
I can picture you on the floor kneeling over a dish of milk showing the kittens how to lap.
Take care of yourself.x
-
Poor Cordelia, RIP sweetheart, love and kindness found you when you least expected it, and you lived long enough to know how it felt. :hug:
Teresa, I know she was special to you. :hug: :hug:
Sending "C'Mon!!" vibes for Rosalind, and hoping her babies will fare as well under your care as the previous bundles of impossible cuteness have.
So, how do you teach kittens to lap ? :P
-
So, how do you teach kittens to lap ? :P
A bit like swimming lessons really :rofl: and when that fails stick food covered fingers in their mouths :rofl: and when that doesnt work dunk their heads in kitten soup :rofl: :rofl: All very cruel, finally you shove them in kitchen sink and attempt to wash them clean :rofl: :rofl:
Am a bit annoyed really think pic of kiitens swimming in food maybe on broken laptop.
-
Fingers crossed poor Rosalind starts to feel better soon, she's such a sweet looking little thing :blow kiss: Come on fuss post, be good for your Auntie Teresa :hug:
-
C'mon Rosalind, sweetheart. C'mon. :hug: :hug: You can't give up now. Me and young Ross (Foo Fighter Extraordinaire) are sending some "eat up" vibes for you and to baby Cassandra too.
Teresa, thinking of you and your kitten soup. :hug: :hug:
-
Sending lots of positive vibes for Rosalind. And a :hug: for you Teresa.
-
Sending lots of these :hug: :hug: :hug: for all at the Inn today, especially Aunty T and Rosalind. Hope the the fusspots, Cassandra and Athena's babies have taken on board the art of lapping. Also a special :hug: for Pansydora. Yes I know she's a terror but sooooo loveable.
-
Rosalind has eaten the following in the last 24hours
I whole tin Pilchards in tomato sauce
2 small chicken breasts
handful of RC dry kitten
4 sachets of Felix a g a i ls amazing what anabolic can do :rofl: It seems her problem is calcium and kitten related. She is bouncing around happy as larry and glad to be rid of her babies, Well she is only a kitten herself. Vet said she must not even see or hear her babies because that could trigger milk production which could kill her.
Her babies are naughty, fussy little darlings who have almost killed me, I have had different ones lapping at different times but each feed has left me in tears,to be honest I left them this afternoon hoping hunger would kick in, afraid I gave in and syringe came out. This mornings feed took me 3 hours, I have promised myself a holiday for my 100 birthday(not had one since 1978 ) and if ever my lungs recover and I can walk I will run away :rofl:.
All else seem fine and Julie bless her has offered to take babies for a night if it gets too much.
I know how much you all enjoy a bit of poop in the conversation well Cornelius did a 10 inch long lump this afternoon :rofl:
-
:phew: so pleased that Roslalind has eaten. I can't say that I blame her for being relieved at being kitten-free, they are certainly very demanding. Fingers crosssed that the breakthrough on lapping is just a whisker away, and :pat: to Julie for offereing to give you break.
... and as for Cornelius :what:
-
Pleased to hear she's feeling better. Such a shame she won't be able to raise her babies but I know you will do a fab job of being Rosalind's stand in :hug: That's a lovely offer from Julie too :)
-
We have now had 2 days and 2 nights of this,where is the giant scream smilie. Something is niggling me regards this whole litter and I just cant get my head around it. This morning I was greeted by poop everywhere and filthy kittens who really do not want to lap. Finally got quarter of sachet of Hi life kitten which had been blended into a creamy soup down them yes I forced them to lap one at a time on my knee,thats quarter sachet between 4, I then syringed 7ml of electrolyte fluid into each of them.They have been back end bathed as poop and piddle dance they were doing left them bright yellow,interesting its still mums milk coming through after all this time. Next battle due at 10.
Mum continues to make progress.
All other inmates happy and well.
-
I think you need a break Teresa,cats of all ages can be so bloody-minded,if they don''t wanna do summat,they won't! I hope you win in the end,and they start lapping.x
-
10 am battle finished at 11.45am, kittens put up at great fight but even Tom Snout( the only boy who thinks he is now in charge) had to admit to enjoying his food just a bit :rofl: almost full sachet gone,it does help threatening a water syringe :rofl: Cobweb actually wolfed every scrap of hers, Perdita ate hers in a slow but ladylike manner and Titania like tom Snout put up a fight but got there in the end.
I think you need a break Teresa,cats of all ages can be so bloody-minded,if they don''t wanna do summat,they won't! I hope you win in the end,and they start lapping.x
Think in truth if I were employed by someone I would be sacked :rofl: :rofl:
-
Is Tom Snout taking over where Winston left off :scared:
Pleased to hear that apart from the fuss pots being fuss pots that all others are happy and healthy. How are Athena and Olivia's babies coming on?
-
Sending lots of 'get lapping' vibes for the norty kittens, and a huge dollop of strength giving vibes for you T. :hug:
-
Crikey Teresa - what a marathon session!
Am a great respecter of instinct - especially yours - and hope you can work out what it is that's bugging you about Rosalind and her babies. :hug: :hug:
-
Hope the lapping has gone better today and that Rosalind is still eating well. :hug:
-
Sending positive vibes for Rosalind and the puzzling Fusspots.
I know you'll get to the bottom of this, T. Just hope they don't wear you out in the process. :hug:
-
Sending lots of :hug: Teresa.
I have a question. You mentioned Rosalind had a can of pilchards in tomato sauce. I've always avoided the ones in tomato sauce because I thought the tomato sauce would be too rich and upset their tummies. Isn't this the case? :-:
-
Sorry not updated,life has been got so bad I collapsed in bathroom during the night, ,I`m ok dont worry.
Debbie took me and the 4 tyrants to vets this morning, Andy could find nothing wrong; I found myself telling him that for the first time ever I couldnt cope and he would be responsible for my death if things continued. Andy took the 4 darlings until 6 to give me a rest,said he would get nurses to pump them full of AD touch wood things are easier tonight, I intend to leave a dish of food in their Pen and go to bed and see what tomorrow brings.
The other Paws Inn charges are doing ok.
Meanwhile I have taken my morphine and feel really sleepy, so hopefully will do proper update tomorrow.
By the way 2 of these little darlins are reserved so no pressure.
-
Teresa, please try to rest more. So easy for me to say but please try to put yourself first for at least six hours a day. :hug: :hug:

Teresa, :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: Take care of yourself please.

Thankyou all for the support,I will admit to reaching rock bottom but I seem to have found a way up now.
Kittens have been moved to a bigger pen today and are happily playing as I type. Strange how one day you look at the plants and everything is in bud and the next day they bloom,this has happened with all the litters of tiny kittens,suddenly they are lapping and playing.I stood out in the pens with tears of joy in my eyes and I swear those kittens were laughing at me. The fuss pot terrors who almost drove me to despair are starting to look a bit mucky,its my own fault yesterday Andy remarked how immaculate they were and my reply was "I`d rather filthy kittens with full bellies",guess thats what I am going to get. i had a conversation with Rosalind mum to said kittens, I told her they were all happy and well and I swear I heard her reply" They are bound to be look at the state of you" :rofl: Rosalind herself is absolutely wonderful now she is alone. Olivia mum from box on canalside is looking fantastic now,in fact they all are.
Tomorrow is my 60th does that mean I get to retire :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Teresa, you've worked a miracle, again.
They can't say it themselves, so I'll say it for them :thankyou:
Many happy returns for tomorrow. Go and have a bath! :hug: :hug:
-
Doubt very much you'll ever retire ;) Hope you have a great birthday with someone there to give you a break for a few hours! :hug: :hug:
-
I will echo what the others have said-PLEASE Teresa take care of yourself.X
-
No Teresa - there must be some mistake - you can't possibly be 60 tomorrow. :hug: :hug: :Luv: And retire...? Don't make me larf...! :evillaugh: Bless you treasure.
-
I'm sorry T, no such luck!
The average age of retiring from Cov catgroup seems to be about 88. Oh the joys , another 35 years for me. :'(
Nevermind try and enjoy your birthday tomorrow and look forward to the next 28 years. :hug:
-
Aunty T - collapsing on the bathroom floor is an extreme measure in the face of fusspot kittens! Take as good care of yourself as you do the furries. Otherwise, you won't be able to sort the next lot! Have a fab birthday - I've heard no mention of that poor sofa in ages - I'm guessing you & it need to share some quality time! X
-
Happy Birthday Aunty T :birthday: We hope you have a RESTFUL birthday (hint hint!) and that the Fusspots co-operate. :hug: :hug:
Much love from me and Ross (Foo Fighter Extraordinaire)

Angie must admit this has had me in pleats and also so thankful that I am not a member of Cov. catgroup, seems I`ve got the easy end of things here; 88 indeed those poor ladies, I need to know what keeps their batteries charged. :rofl: :rofl:
All seem well and happy here though Cornelius has just done a poop with a stink capable of wiping out the entire population :rofl: I wouldnt mind but a wonderful friend from Purrs sent some Dolly mixtures for my birthday and I was happily tucking in.
Thanks all for the good wishes, believe it or not in 60 years I have never had a birthday party and so at 5 we are all gathering at daughters house for a tea party,sons,daughters and grandchildren and 3 very daring Purrs members,at my request no booze and no smokers what a boring old boot I`ve become :rofl: :rofl:
I forgot to report that we got a reserve on 2 of Rosalinds babies over the weekend despite the fact they wont be ready for about a month.
-
Have a wonderful birthday Teresa.x (I'm 15 years in front!)

So lovely you got your friends and family around you on you special day. ;D
Hope everyone behaved themselves (including the humans :rofl: )

Errrm I'm sorry to have to tell you ladies but T ended up in hospital last night. The news is that she has an infection and possibly some fluid on the left lung so they are keeping her in but hopefully not for long.
She should really have been in before now but would not give in until she had the kittens lapping (which she has) and her birthday party out of the way. Typical T, she didn't want to upset the family who had organised it for her.
It was an uphill struggle getting her to agree to go in and special mention must go to Julie who I suspect has been up for much of the night despite having to work this morning. She refused to take no for an answer and went with T to make sure she didn't tell the doctors she was well enough to go home, and, most importantly from T's point of view, offered to look after the kittens in her absence.
-
Oh no. Oh Teresa....... :hug: :hug:
-
Oh no, so sorry to hear this....what a birthday present!! :( :( Hope she won't be in hospital for too long....... :hug: :hug: to Teresa
-
A picture to brighten the gloom. Cornelius looking relaxed and happy and showing us how well his injured leg has healed.
-
Oh Teresa, we should have seen this coming from her collapse the other night. I hope they can get her back on track quickly. :(
Special :thanks: to Julie for being there and holding the fort when we could not, and for toughing out T - not the easiest task I bet! :hug: :hug:
Carol please send Teresa our love and huge Purrs vibes. :hug: :hug:
-
Sorry to hear you're feeling so poorly again Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug: Hope you managed to enjoy some of your Birthday :hug: Well done to Julie for being such a rock :hug:
-
I hope youre feeling better and back home very soon
love
Tab
-
Hope you are feeling better soon T. Happy slightly late birthday. x
-
Sending much love to you Teresa, and hoping all is well with the Fusspots. :hug:
-
Oh dear :( :( :(
Sending lots of healing vibes Teresa. Get well soon :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Cornelius is looking wonderful :)
-
I'm really sorry to hear this. :( Teresa, hope you feel a million times better soon and can make a bid for freedom again.
Julie, well done for stepping up and taking on the terrors in Teresas absence.
Love that picture of Cornelius. :)
-
O dear things seem to be a bit muddled, I did go into hospital and Julie stayed with me till 2am bless her and said they were keeping me in so Julie went home. Doctors then took more blood and re examined me and decided I only have pleurisy so could be treated with pills, so I was evicted from hospital bed and taken home by private ambulance at 3.50am, i am not having any more birthdays I promise :rofl:
Fusspots are still with me.
Onto important bit
Doesnt Cornelius look handsome :Luv:
-
:wow: You just haven't got the hang of birthday parties yet, Teresa. Passing out is not a requisite (with or without alcohol) - yuo can just have tea and cake and a nice time. Never mind - you gotta practice, okay? Ross sends his beloved Aunty T a kitty kiss for the tip of your nose. :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa, so pleased you are back home. :hug: :hug:
-
Phew, thank goodness. Welcome back. Off to look up pleurisy now :shify:
Yes, T, Cornelius is Wowser :Luv2:
-
ONLY pleurisy???????? Good grief, pleurisy is horrible. I hope you feel much better soon Teresa. Xx
-
Someone at work had pleurisy, I have heard it's very very painful :scared: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Cornelius is indeed magnificent :Luv2:
-
OK, got my head around pleurisy. Ouch, Teresa, that's a sore set of lungs you got. Hope the ABs give you the relief the write-ups say they will :hug:
Meanwhile, how are the lapping lessons going? :sneaky:
-
Hope you are feeling better T and the cats and kittens are behaving themselves. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope you are feeling better T and the cats and kittens are behaving themselves. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Yep, seconded :hug:
-
Popping by to offer a gentle hug for Aunty T and to whisper "be gud" to all the furbabes (specially the fuss pots) :hug: :hug:
-
Sending some more of these :hug: :hug: and a soothing :care:
Hope things are going well with the Fusspots, Teresa, and you are also lapping better. :shy:
-
Fusspots are doing fine,though they have developed a liking for getting mucky and so needing regular baths which is killing me,
Poor old feral Ivan the terrible has been to vets this morning,problems with his bladder again, Andy has given him steroid jab and convenia but because of the feel of things cannot rule out cancer,this hot weather has also caused his crackley left lung to flare up again, Andy says see how he goes and if no improvement Xrays ,we arent going to panic Ivan is well into his teens and very lovable and like all our rescues will be given whatever her needs.
All other cats doing fine,reserves on 2 of Olivias babies, 3 of the fusspots and Baby Bea which is just as well as I have agreed to take a poor pregnant girl as soon as we make a space.
Pleurisy,dont recommend it and still fighting :rofl:
-
Hope the news on Ivan is better than feared :hug:
FANTASTIC news about Baby Bea - I would say that the new owner is very lucky but as I have been let into the secret of who it is then it's the other way round - Baby Bea is a very lucky girl! :)
-
Hope the news on Ivan is better than feared :hug:
FANTASTIC news about Baby Bea - I would say that the new owner is very lucky but as I have been let into the secret of who it is then it's the other way round - Baby Bea is a very lucky girl! :)
:shify: Ooo - secrets! :wow: Fantastic news for all of those who've got homes lined up.
Sending very gentle snoozles and chin rubs for Ivan, bless him. For you too, Teresa - well maybe you can skip the chin rubs and have a hug instead :hug: :hug: :evillaugh:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: for you Teresa.
Can't wait to hear who Baby Bea's new slave might be ;D
Sending lots of positive vibes for Ivan.
-
Oooh this is exciting :) Baby Bea has been waiting so patiently for the right slave, sounds like it may have paid off? :winner is: ??
Sending a little :care: for brave Ivan, and a :hug: for you T for doing what you do xx.
-
I know, I know but I'm not telling. :naughty: Lets just say they are already wll acquainted and no its not me. ;)
-
Baby Bea`s new slave first spotted her on the day Debbie and I trapped her last year, she has since spent week after week cuddling her and gazing at her longingly. I know that Julie is the best person in the world to cope with this mixed up little girl.
Thought you might like to see attempts at drowning the fusspots, dirty little ones are going to be bathed again later when Aunty carol gets here to help.
-
Congratulations to Julie :dance: :dance:
Love the pics of bathtime Teresa. All gorgeous but Cobweb is :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Yesterdays pics taken after bathtime.
Had a lovely email from 3 of the dwarfs mum yesterday. Pixie, Little Willy and Herbie are all huge now and very much loved, will post the pics when I can.
All cats kittens happy and well,Debbie is taking 5 of them for 2nd half vaccinations later today.

Sorry Teresa I can't answer that other than to quote:

Try this...
-
I'll take the 4 clean kittens being cuddled please! :naughty:
I've been waiting to use this pic Teresa and can't think of a better person to be the first to 'recieve' it :hug:
P.S Sheila, your post is showing as completely blank to me :shy:
-
:thanks: Helen, Fab Pic! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Have corrected robot error (do robots make errors? :naughty: )
-
Thanks Helen Sue and Sheila :hug: sometimes some of the calls I get are so heartbreaking I have to become a robot in order to cope;today brought one of those calls. People say they dont read rescue or specifically Paws Inn updates because its too upsetting, somehow I always leave the worst off and only show nice pictures.
Sometimes the tough nuts amongst us need a bit of support so huge thankyou to you ladies for realising that
Teresax
-
Oh T even you can't make the walls more flexible we can only do what we can :hug: I am currently having issues with one of my neighbour from up the hills supposed ferals it is wearing a collar but seems to be living in the garage it is dribbling and its up in the rafters so can't get it down, fortunately my vets have said if it comes in a trap I can have it back with no bits!!!!
-
I think, Teresa, we know. :shify:
I, for one, am in awe of the way you shoulder the frequent anguish and heartbreak, the tears you shed daily and the physical pain and personal hardship you mask to continue your work.
I salute your team, without whom I know you could not continue. :grouphug:
That's why its so important for us onlookers to try and lighten your day when we can, as sometimes this is all we have to give :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Teresa, i met you in 2007 and when i left your home that day i thpought what an amazing woman, and i still do. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
I am sorry if i dont post much but i follow your thread and at times fell in love with some cats in your care and then I thank god that i dont live near you ;)
I am so so happy Baby Bea has got a wonderful home.
:hug: :hug:
Helen love the Group Hug :Luv2:
-
:cheer: :dance: :you go girl: Julie
Awww Baby Bea, we've all been looking on from afar, wondering why you are still in care. :hug:
I hope you give Julie the love she deserves, cos she's a star and has loved you from day 1. Good luck to you both, You are loved from afar too :Luv: :Luv:
-
Topping up the positive vibes for all at the Inn today. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I absolutely love the group hug,what a great picture.Sending hugs to Teresa+to those pink pawed little uns! :hug: :hug:
-
I agree. Takes an amazingly strong person to do what you do, Teresa. With a lot of love for the animals they're protecting. If only there were more folk prepared to go out on a limb for animals there wouldn't be the need for (admittedly brilliant) rescues like yours.
Hoping you're feeling better and great news about Bea. :) Also hoping for good news for Ivan.
-
Swinging by to say hello to everyone at the Inn and to send hugs to all. :hug: :hug:
-
Thank you all for the much needed support,normally I laugh pain and troubles off but just couldnt this time;pleurisy is evil when your lungs are already damaged.
A bit about rescue,some people think its sit and cuddle cute cats all the time in reality its lose endless nights of sleep either bottle feeding or nursing sick ones;the phone is public enemy number 1 because you are having to refuse a minimum of 7 cats every day and then theres the constant worry about cat food,litter and veterinary costs,and thats before we discuss cat poop,on second thoughts I best give that a miss as we are currently using 18 yes 18x 30 litre bags of litter a week all of which has to be taken to the tip by my poor husband.
I am truthfully not pulling my weight and havent for some time and this makes me feel terrible, its Rob,Debbie,Julie,Carol and Natalie doing the hard work;poor Carol said last week that if forum people saw me they would be shocked,in truth you`d all run away.
Baby Bea has just left us and hopefully the little pregnant girl will be in it tonight.
Orlando has been reserved to go to live with 2 other former Paws Inn boys
All of Rosalinds babies are reserved to go and live in a big house with 2 doctors so I am delighted; we just need some magic to fall on adults and older kittens and of course the black ones big and tiny.
-
Now all of the black ones could come and live with me my favourite colour just as well you aren't closer or me and the big handbag would be coming for a visit :shocked:
Sadly you describe rescue to a T and it is so sad that homes aren't forthcoming hence the reason I still have 6 tamed down feral kittens from last year but OH decided they are all staying as they are friends with all the Clan and we love them all
-
Aunty T - am hoping all the necessary magic falls on all of the babies - young and old - fesity and non feisty - to make sure everyone has an equal chance of getting a loving home. What you do is not to be understimated by any pf us. You rock!! :hug: :hug:
-
Julie has been a real star today,she came for Baby Bea, scrubbed the Pen out and then she went and brought the little pregnant girl in,although she isnt that little she is enormous. either way her kittens will now be born in safety so huge :thanks: to Julie.
Pregnant girl isn`t black :-:
-
All of Rosalinds babies are reserved to go and live in a big house with 2 doctors so I am delighted;
I'm so pleased about that. ;D I had a sneaking feeling they wouldn't leave poor Tom Snout behind. ;) Did yu have to work very hard on them. :evillaugh:
Good news for Orlando. Is he going where you thought he might?
Sending mega hugs for Baby Bea and Julie. :hug: They've loved each other from day one but its still going to be an upheaval. I have a sneaking feeling that Rob is going to miss Baby Bea
Fingers crossed that the new girl and her babies when she has them are healthy and don't give you any sleepless nights.
I will never understand why people don't want the blacks and black and whites. I'd take them all if I had my way. :Luv2:
More mega hugs and this time for you T - hope the pleursy is on its way out. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I've never met you Teresa but I'm under no illusions how hard you, and your lovely volunteers, work and what desperately tough times these are for you :hug: :hug: :hug:
I'm sooooo pleased for Baby Bea (and Julie), really can't say who is the luckier one! :)
Fantastic news for Rosalind's bunch, think their new owners will have their hands full with four kittens :Crazy:
Really hope the homing picks up for the older and bigger ones :hug:
-
The majority of our family are black :Luv:, Black and white or the tuxedo kids :Luv: and my husbands favourite Tabbies closely followed by the tortie squad :Luv:
But I love all my multicoloured family even the the dogs are all different colour but they make up the very special Clan cats and dogs that I am blessed to look after
Good luck with the pregnant Mum and what do you means she's not black!!! What colour is she and has she got a name yet ;D
-
From what we read on here (round the clock feeds, bathing several tiny wriggling, uncooperative bodies, coaxing cats out of overgrowth...) I'd hope noone thinks what you do is easy. I know I don't - and not just the physical side of things. The emotional side too....I think that is probably even worse in some ways.
You and your team do an amazing job. I really hope you feel massively better soon.
-
Havent been around on Purrs much but still follow Paws Inn and have recently lost my beloved Daisy which has been heartbreaking, with much support through the whole ordeal from Teresa which I have to give heartfelt thanks for, we have decided to adopt another baby and have reserved Constance from Paws Inn, I actually have no preference on colour for a new baby and am thinking that if black kittens are harder to home then maybe we should rehome Happy ?, so what do you guys think ?, Paws Inn baby and female is my only stipulation ;D
-
I'm so sorry to hear about Daisy :'( :hug: :hug: :hug: RIP little one, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx
I think whoever you end up with from Paws Inn they'll be loved and spoilt to bits which is the main thing :hug:
-
So sad for you, DaisyMac. :hug: :hug: RIP little Daisy :(
I know Teresa will find the right baby to help heal your broken heart. She's definitely the best one to make this call, she knows those kittens by smell heart :shify: :)
Happy is so pretty :Luv2:
-
Claire as I said on the phone Happy and Rainbow are the happiest lap kittens you could ever meet.
Will do update on the inmates later
-
Claire - am gutted to hear about Daisy. :hug: :hug: I think whichever kittens get to go home with you they'll be very lucky tittentats, and similarly you won't be disappointed.
-
Clare sorry for the loss of daisy :hug:
I think Happy and Rainbow would be purrfect additions and playmates for JO Ripley :innocent:
Being the same colour steve would take a while to notice and by then their paws are firmly under the table :innocent:
-
LOL, I wish I could have both but only 1 more cat for us, so I would have to pick between Happy and Rainbow and that would be if Teresa was willing to let them go as a single cat x
-
:-[ Sorry Claire - there we go, enthusiastically re-populating your home with cats plural rather than cats singular..... :innocent:
-
Clare adding them together won't strain the finances that much just booster and flea treatment - we haven't changed food that much and we are well in to double figures and then you can have one each to help ease the loss of Miss daisy
-
Just one for the time being, Steve has given me my limits :shocked:
-
He will be hogging the TV for 3 weeks for the football payback time is 2 kittens :evillaugh:
-
Sorry cant do my update as planned, Carol has a big secret so must wait till later.
-
Oooo, I like secrets :Luv2:
-
We like secrets here to ;D
-
Oooo, I like secrets :Luv2:
I don't! I want to be let in on it :shify:
-
The suspense is killing me now, keep having to check the thread LOL
-
The suspense is killing me now, keep having to check the thread LOL
I wonder if we are getting un-necessarily excited and the update/surprise/secret is poop related :evillaugh:
-
All I am going to say is that Carol has an awful lot to own up to.
She has just left here so may be couple hours to wait.
Off topic D Day landings anniversary today my admiration goes out to all.
-
Carol!!! Wot's gooin on Mrs? :shify: :shify: :shify: :wow:
I'd say put your foot down on that accelerator but think you may have precious cargo so :scared: .... I can wait. The suspense will kill me but...... I can wait :hug:
-
I wonder if we are getting un-necessarily excited and the update/surprise/secret is poop related :evillaugh:
Oh Helen you know us so well. :rofl: I'm used to Paws Inn cats expressing their happiness at seeing me by rushing to the tray to poop and that's exactly what I thought mum-to-be Cupcake was doing was doing when I peeped in and saw her standing on her back paws with her front paws on the side of the box. But as I watched she dropped her first kitten onto the pristine white vet bed. ;D :Luv2:
By the time I leftPaws Inn xxzshe had produced another 3 and she looked to me as though she was calling it a day at that but as this is my first ever experience of kitten birth I wouldn't have too much confidence in that. :evillaugh:
Colours? Exactly what T predicted. ;)
Sorry got to go, OH has just put my dinner on the table (hungry work this midwifery). Photo of mum-to be before the excitement started to follow.
-
Oh bless Cupcake, how wonderful
-
Sorry about that. I wasn't teasing - I really did have to go and eat. :innocent:
Well I met Cupcake for the first time this morning and she is gorgeous - she has the the most beautiful green eyes. :Luv2: She was very relaxed and friendly and purred like mad when I stroked her but didn't want to come out of her bed. I took some photies for the Paws Inn thread and when I showed them to T she homed in on the still half-full food bowl that was visible in one of the pics saying 'she's not eaten all her breakfast, I think she's ready.' You can't fool T. :)
Which is how I came to check on Cupcake with uncharacteristically impeccable timing and witness the first birth. :Luv2: We left her alone to do her own thing after that but went back to check periodically and she produced the kittens at approximately hourly intervals. As I've already mentioned that was my first experience of a cat giving birth so I have nothing to compare it with but Cupcake seemed very relaxed about the whole thing. I on the other hand was on teneterhooks the whole time and am exhausted now. :rofl:
Here she is just about 2 hours prior to the birth. She was understandably being very protective of her newborns so kitten pics will have to wait a few days.
-
:1st place: Cupcake :wow:
What an honour Carol, to witness the birth! :Luv2:
-
How lovely! Cupcake is a 'grey baby' like my Charlie, bless her :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Oh Wow - Carol!! :wow: :wow: :wow: Teresa!!! :wow: :wow: :wow: How fantastic. Cupcake is stunning, isn't she? Bet her babies are just amazing. She sounds like she's being a model Mum. Clever Cupcake. :Luv:
Well done, Aunty T.
-
Congratulations to new mum Cupcake :wow: :wow: :wow:
And Carol, how wonderful to witness a birth :) :)
-
Am very jealous Carol. Have never witnessed a birth either and to have Teresa's experience on tap as well must have made it far less stressful than it could have been :)
She is a very very beautiful girl :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Our beautiful Cupcake gave birth to kitten NO.5 during the night. I was delighted that Carol saw the birth it is such a wonderful thing and Cupcake was the perfect cat to watch. Carol was beaming with delight and was very careful to watch the clock and see when she could do the next round of inspection :rofl: Cupcake has eaten well this morning and is a very protective mum.
-
:yayyy: :narna dance: :yayyy:
Well you said five T and you were absolutely right - again. :evillaugh: I'm assuming you were also right on the colour of all of them. ;)
So pleased that she has eaten well and is looking after babies. ;D
-
:wooooo: High Five! :wow:
Can't wait to see pics of Mum & babies together :Luv2:
-
I dont do Rainbow bridge, I dont do candles or RIPs but I do feel grief and this evening we are grieving for a little boy who only came into this world yesterday. Not long enough to make his mark on the world but long enough to leave a pawprint in our hearts. I do know that poor Carol will be equally devastated,yesterday was filled with so much joy and Carol was like an excited Grandma.
Cupcake is fine.
-
Sorry to hear this, :hug: :hug: :hug: to Carol and you Teresa, this is very sad.
-
Very sorry to hear this :( :hug: :hug: :hug:
RIP little one, another one taken too soon xx
-
So sorry :hug:

Teresa. Am so sorry. Poor little soul. :hug: :hug:

So sorry to hear about the loss of the little one Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So sorry to hear - RIP little one

Cupcake and kittens have been to the vet this afternoon after Carol and I had the heartbreaking task of dealing with a second death. Please keep everything crossed for the remaining 3 kittens who dont have a lot going for them and for Cupcake who is very stressed at present.
-
:'(
Nature can be so cruel sometimes :( :hug: :hug: :hug: Have everything crossed that the other babies, and of course Mum, will be OK :hug:

-
Sorry for poor Cupcake and her babies, fingers crossed for the rest of her babies.
Hope you are looking after yourself Teresa.
Nicky

-
I've only just caught up with this thread. :( I'm so sorry, how terribly sad for Cupcake.
Rest Easy, Little Ones.
Sending vibes for the last little guy to be a fighter.

So sorry to hear this T, you and Carol must be heartbroken....... :( :'(
Have they passed due to natural causes or do they have a problem, do you know? :hug: :hug:
Hope Cupcake is ok :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
This is very sad, poor babies. :'( Praying hard for the last little one, and for poor sad Cupcake.
How're you coping, Teresa? You must be exhausted :hug: :hug:
-
:'( So sorry to hear this, just heartbreaking :hug: :hug: :hug:
Really hope the last little one can overcome whatever it is that has cruelly taken his siblings :( Poor Cupcake must be so confused :( Please give her a gentle fuss from me :care:
-
So sorry to hear about this,PLEASE take care of your self Teresa and Carol. :hug: :hug:

We think we know now what the problem is with Cupcake’s litter but sadly there is nothing we can do for her remaining kitten Juno other than hope and pray. :(
If we’re right (and I really think we are) it’s a condition known as 'neonatal isoerythrolysis' or 'haemolysis of the newborn’ which is due to an incompatibility between the mother’s blood group and that of her kittens. The kittens are born healthy, but during their first day of life they absorb antibodies from the mother's colostrum (first milk) which destroy their red blood cells causing anaemia and jaundice. Sadly there is nothing that can be done to reverse the process once the kitten has absorbed the antibodies so bottle feeding is of no help unless its started as soon as the kittens are born, at which time you have no idea that anything is wrong because they’re healthy.
Juno does have a ray of hope – well two really. She may have the same blood group as her mum or she may be one of those lucky kittens who are only mildly affected or, better still, remain unaffected. :crossed: She is the smallest of the litter so maybe in the general scramble for that first feed she didn’t get as much as the others. It’s only in the first 16-24 hours that the kitten’s gut is permeable enough to allow the antibodies to pass though it and into the bloodstream.
If anybody is interested, in particular anyone in rescue who has been baffled and distressed by the sudden death of apparently healthy kittens, this is a very informative article. http://www.fabcats.org/owners/blood_groups/info.html
Warning. You may find this final paragraph distressing. We’ve arrived at this conclusion as a result of something we witnessed in connection with the death of the kitten number 2 and things we were able to rule out after the vet performed a PM on him, plus the fact that on examination of the insides of the mouths of the remaining live kittens yesterday two showed signs of jaundice. Juno's did not. She is all black (like her unfortunate siblings) so we wont know whether she is developing jaundice without examining the inside of her mouth which is not something we’re prepared to do given that it will not help one jot.
-
:hug: Poor kittens. Everything crossed for Juno. If Juno survives does she have to be hand-reared now or can Cupcake carry on?
-
C'mon Juno. You have so many folk rooting for you now. :hug: :hug:
-
Cupcake can feed Juno now without further problem Sootyca.
The trouble arises because the intestine of the newborn kitten in the first 16-24 hours of life is still permeable and allows the high concentration of antibodies in mum's colostrum (first milk) to pass though it and into the bloodstream. Generally this is a good thing - its how kittens get their immunity, but in this case Cupcake has produced antibodies that have attacked her kittens' blood. Only time will tell whether Juno has been affected or not.
-
how dreadfully sad, poor Cupcake. Hoping little Juno is okay :hug: :hug:
-
........sadly there is nothing we can do for her remaining kitten Juno other than hope and pray. :(
It wasn't enough. :( Teresa has let me know that Juno died during the night. :'( :'(
-
So sorry to hear this Carol....you and Teresa must be heartbroken :'( :'(
Poor Cupcake....hope she'll be ok? :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
I'm so sorry, poor little girl losing her kittens. How confusing for her. Poor little ones, who never had a chance of a good long life.
Nicky
-
Very sorry to hear this :( Big hugs to you and Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug: I hope Cupcake is going to be OK, must be so distressing for her :(
RIP little Juno, another little one taken too soon x
-
:'( :'( :'( :'(
What awful news. I'm so sorry to hear this Teresa :hug: :hug: And Carol :hug: :hug:
-
Cupcake is fine and had a big fuss from Debbie,sorry I cant say more at minute I feel as if the heart has been taken from me.
-
:( :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Teresa, you did all you could, sometimes we have to admit defeat and look to what we have left.
In this case lovely Cupcake now has every chance of finding a wonderful new home and will never need to suffer this loss and grief ever again. :hug: :hug:
-
This must have torn you to pieces Teresa :'( :'( :'( So desperately sad :( :( :(
-
So very sad, RIP little ones xxxx
Poor Cupcake to go through all the trauma of having her babies and losing them all - why is nature so cruel sometimes :'(
Big hugs for Teresa and Carol, you must both be devastated :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So very sorry for the loss of Cupcakes babies, she had them in a wonderful place and they will be mourned for a longtime by Aunty T and Carol :hug:
Sadly the highs and lows and heartache of rescue came in one little lady :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I'm so sorry to hear about Juno. :( Rest Easy little one.
It's good Cupcake is doing OK. Hope she's helping you through.

Cupcake is fine.
Poor Wilbur and Harry seem to have picked something up and were rushed to vet yesterday temp of 40.3 and 40.7,they are in a huge pen with outdoor run away from all the other cats its likely they have eaten insect or similar,Rob did find a mangled up slug in their Pen,fingers crossed they will fight it off soon they are big boys now.
Pansydora and Rosalind are both calling wish I had earplugs.
The fusspots are going for first vaccs on Friday and off to new home on monday, I honestly cant wait though I will miss them terribly.
All other inmates fine with kittens everywhere you look.
-
Oh dear, it never rains but it pours. :hug: Sending lots of get well soon vibes for the lovely Wilbur and Harry. :hug: :hug:

Sending lots of get well vibes to Wilbur and Harry. And a few :hug: :hug: :hug: for you Teresa.

Sorry should have updated,the boys are still under the weather but eating again,they both had convenia shots and are having metacam so hopefully will soon be back to their normal selves.
All else at the Inn are fine,we are reaching mass vaccination time and lots of spays ouch.
Think Carol took lots of pics yesterday while I was busy warming the settee.
-
Trying to catch up with life at the Inn, so sorry to hear about Cupcake's kittens :(
I don't know how you do what you do in the world of rescue, you are all amazing x
On the plus side, how fabulous a name is Pansydora :Luv2:
-
Better late than never – some pictures of the Paws inn babies taken on Wednesday. I hope they enjoyed the day as much as I did. ;D Pictures are fine but it’s the thundering noise of them charging around exploring and playing that really brings a smile to my face. The mums, bless them, are still kittens themselves and joined in the fun.
So to start, some of Rosalind’s babies. They’re off to the vets this afternoon for first vacs so they won’t perhaps be as interested in the cat carriers after that. It’s a good job they’re going to their new home on Monday or Paws Inn would have to put out an urgent appeal for funds for kitchen roll.
-
Next Portia and her kitten Nerissa. Their play sessions have been a bit curtailed of late with all the new kitten activity so they’re making up for lost time.
-
Olivia’s kittens are just too quick for me so the best pictures of them are taken when they’re behind bars. :rofl: Cassandra has a very expressive face that lets you know when she thinks she’s being badly done too as in the final pic where she is watching Athena’s babies playing. :evillaugh:
-
Athena’s kittens were a bit hesitant at first which is how I managed to get some shots that actually have kittens on them instead of my usual bums or blurs. They soon got the hang of things and speeded up though. :evillaugh:
Francis started life as Francis Flute but we seems to be calling him Friar Francis now so take your pick. :rofl:
-
Athena herself is so small I kept mistaking her for one of her kittens (first pic) but its not for want of food – she eats like a horse.
That blue tub she is thumping the living daylights out of (second pic) contains dry food- just as well it has sturdy closures on it. Not the most flattering picture of her but you get the idea of her persistence. :shify:
-
And finally the one you’ve been waiting for – Cupcake.
These are not brilliant pictures because she’s still not allowed out of her pen but you can see that she’s eating and grooming as she should.
What you can’t see is just how friendly she is. :Luv2: She starts purring as soon as you open the door and loves being stroked and fussed.
I couldn’t resist the one of her tail end. :evillaugh: Well its such a magnificent tail.
-
...she's also a bit of a comedienne
-
Fabulous pictures of the Paws Inn beauties! :Luv2: :Luv2: LOVE Cupcake's face pulling!! ;D
-
They are all gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2:
Teresa i am so sorry about cupcake babies :hug: :hug:
-
Loving the pictures, Cupcake is a stunning lady :Luv: hope all the inmates are good for you today T and you are enjoying some sun :hug:
-
Teresa - just back from a week away, and heartbroken to read about Cupcake's kittens. Have never heard of that condition before and its very distressing to think there was nothing to be done from the outset. Poor Cupcake, bless her - such an attentive Mum too. :'( :hug: :hug:
But, I have to say, the pics of all of the puds Carol have posted are a wonderful sight to behold. Cobweb is beautiful, as is orlando - well they ALL are! :Luv: Glad to hear Wilbur and Harry are on the mend. I have a soft spot for Wilbur in particular. :Luv2:
My love to all at The Inn. :hug:
-
Wonderful pictures Carol :Luv: I normally follow this thread without logging in so I don't see them but couldn't resist today, how heart meltingly cute are all those babies?!
Cupcake is a darling :Luv2:
-
Thanks for all the lovely pics Carol :) :) What a lovely start to the morning :) :) Cupcake is just gorgeous and I see what you mean about her tail :wow:
-
Carol such lovely pictures thankyou; I particularly like the ones of Cupcake clowning around.
Yesterday we said farewell to Bella and Daisy who have gone to live with a lovely family and their 13 year old cat.
Today I said farewell to fusspots Titania,Perdita, Cobweb and Tom Snout, its the first time in over 20 years that I have allowed 4 to go together, but believe me everything is so purrfect. Their mum Rosalind is booked in for spay on Wednesday along with Pansydora and Cupcake who is also having official blood grouping done.
Andy vet is coming here on Friday to vaccinate an ever growing army of kittens and a few adults who have finally been passed fit like Cornelius,he was on antibiotics for over 2 months to save his leg and now he is better he is enjoying tearing my carpets :rofl:
Think thats all for now will try and update on all cats and kittens when I am less worn out.
-
Fantastic pics Carol :wow: I just love little Francis, it's like he's been electric shocked! :evillaugh: As soon as I get a mo I will update the homing pages with these fab pics :)
Excellent news for Bella, Daisy & the fusspots ;D Hope all went well at the vets for the Mums :hug:
-
Rosalind and Cupcake are both fine after their spay, Pansydora is still not herself hopefully she will be fine by morning.
Cupcake had blood taken today to officially check her blood group, Andy vet and ourselves were impressed at the speed the lab faxed over her results. Cupcake is Group B very rare in fact our vet has never come across the condition the babies died with before. We can indeed take comfort that this lovely girl will never have to endure pregnancy and loss of babies again. The test cost £61 worth every penny to us and indeed to Cupcake should she ever need emergency treatment in the future. No wonder this little one is clowning about for Carols pictures she finally knows the meaning of love and happiness.
-
Glad to hear all went well with Rosalind and Cupcake. Hope Pansydora picks up soon.
-
It's great service Teresa, and to know what her blood group is, is as you say, a real life saver. She's a beautiful girl. :hug:
And hey - four all going together to a new home - wow! :wow: :wow: Someone's going to have a very lively household :evillaugh: Good news about Bella and Daisy too. :Luv:
Sending gentle snoozles for Pansydora and hoping she's perkier today. :hug:
-
I've not been on this forum in a very very long time, so I have just been flipping through this thread to catch up and see all the beautiful cats and kittens AND Oh My how Rainbow and Happy melted my heart. I will never understand why people seem to dislike black cats. Those two are proper princesses!
-
Hoping Pansydora is feeling a bit more herself today. And you Teresa? How are you doing? :cuddle:
-
Keep coming back for another look at the lovely photos. So sorry about Cupcakes kittens, poor girl.
Peaslebottom is :Luv2: And all the black kittens are perfect of course.
Wishing you well Teresa, hoping the sofa is getting lots of attention from you.
Nicky
-
Sending :hug: :hug: :hug: to all at the Inn today. Hope the spayed cats are doing well and all 13 of the vaccinated ones. :Crazy: A special :hug: for Ivan and of course for you T.
-
Hope all is well at the Inn, :care: for those who need it :hug:
-
Popping by to send much love to all at The Inn, and hoping everything is well.
-
Harry, Wilbur and Pansydora back on form again and all vaccinated and/or spayed residents doing fine although finding the heat a bit tiring when I went on Wedneday. Cupcake was a bit quiet but then she's like that - until you stroke her when she lets loose with the noisy purrs. :Luv2:
We have a new resident who was found on the the grass verge of a busy dual carriageway. :scared: No idea how he got there but for the moment he's being treated as lost so not up for rehoming. He's only young and was quite matted and had a bad tummy. His temporary name is Kipper (much to T's disgust) :evillaugh: because he's been sleeping a lot, no doubt catching up.
Here's some pics of him and of Athena's kittens who got into a bit of a mess trying to do a maypole dance. :rofl:
-
Olivia's kittens were no better at the maypole thtn Athena's :evillaugh:
-
:evillaugh: Fantastic photos. Kipper's a handsome little guy, isn't he? :Luv:
-
Love Athena's kittens doing the maypole! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Kipper is a lovely looking boy, I hope he's simply lost and that his owners are found soon :hug:
-
Popping by to say hello to all at the Inn this morning. :hug: :hug:
-
Sending much love to all at Paws Inn. :hug: :hug:
-
Hoping things are settled at the Inn. Thinking of you all. :hug: :hug:
-
just popping in to say hello to all at the Inn :hug:
-
I haven't been to the Inn yet this week but when I go tomorrow I will be deprived of two of my favourite cuddle monsters. :innocent::
Wilbur :Luv2: and Harry :Luv2: went to their new home at the weekend and have already settled in. :yayyy: :yayyy:
-
Oh Wow, this is amazingly great news, Carol. ;D
Please give T a hug and send her our love, I know it's been a challenging week one way and another, and bless you for updates. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
That's fantastic news about Wilbur :Luv2: and Harry :wow:
Also asking if you would pass on a gentle hug to Aunty T please from me and Ross. :)
-
Great news, sending love to all at Paws Inn :hug:
-
Sending big :hug: to all at Paws Inn
I confess to being tipped off about Harry & Wilbur so the web pages could be updated - my face was like this>>> ;D
-
So sorry for lack of updates,afraid old boot has been ver poorly lately.
Will try to do a proper post tomorrow and fill in the details of all new arrivals and cats homed.
Generally ally cats well apart from newbies who need a little extra tlc.
-
No pressure here Treasure, just support of the virtual kind, in spades :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Sending our "old boot" a cheery "wreeeow!" from Ross and a gentle hug from me. :hug: Ross is sat next to me as I type, and is very excited because I almost let him "press da buttons" ;) :evillaugh:
-
Hoping the "old boot" is feeling much improved soon, and that all the Paws Inn lot are *coughs* behaving as well as they do.... ;)
-
Wilbur and Harry left us last sunday to go and live with Ant a former Paws Inn boy,the new owners are almost in disbelief of how sweet and wonderful they are.
Yesterday Orlando left us to go and live with 2 other ex Paws Inn boys Russell aged 16 and Douglas formerley Norman Wisdom,had an email from him already and it sounds like his new humans are waiting on him hand and foot.
The tabby boy who arrived almost 2 weeks ago has one or two problems,he is hard of hearing and seems to have some neurological eye problem with one pupil bigger than the other, worse than that his diarhoea was drip drip stink until this morning,hopefully he will be well enough for vaccinations at end of week and then available for rehoming. He is called Jordi.
Three very sorry kittens arrived here yesterday,their coats feel like wire haired terriers,their bellies swollen with worms and 2 of them with green gungey eyes.The woman who brought them here claimed to have taken them from kids who were trying to drown them 4 weeks ago,they have since been confined to her outside lavatory :Crazy: I told her they were in appalling condition,two of them are also very timid. The 2 boys are black/white their sister is black, they are Breeze,Bayleaf and Bee.
The 4 fusspots seem to have settled into their new home splendidly and are thoroughly enjoying their 6 foot tall cat tree, we even got sent their latest weights yesterday and they are growing at a terrific rate.
athena and her 4 babies have been moved to the summerhouse where they have loads of room and are thoroughly enjoying themselves.Francis Flute has been reserved to go next week.
Vet due to come this week to do a mountain of vaccinations yet again,mainly 2nd halves but some firsts too.
generally all fit and well and happy.
-
Hi Busy decorating today what a thing to do on your day off lol. I just thought I would post some pictures mainly to update you on Baby Bea but couldn't leave the others out. She is very taken with Harvey, the rest of them haven't really taken much interest although as you will see they sleep alot.
-
More pictures
-
More Pictures
-
More Pictures I found this one of Harvey I can't believe he use to be this small.
-
Wonderful pictures. ;D Is that - Harvey?!!!! :wow: :wow: :wow:
-
Great updates, T. I'm delighted your charges are all making good progress.
Still, the mentality of folk who are cruel to animals is beyond me, and to leave animals to suffer is just unforgiveable >:( At least the three B's are safe now with you at the Inn.
I'm a little bit in love with Jordi. Do you think his deafness and eye trouble might be brain damage? :shocked:
Those are fantastic pics, Julie. BabyBea looks very settled, nice one! I love Teddy, what a hunk :Luv2: and Harvey :wow: stunning.
-
So wonderful to see Baby Bea so settled in her new home :) :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
As for the rest of the Paws Inn adoptees - simply divine :blow kiss: Just realised 4 out of 5 are long haired, bet you have your hands brush full there!
Great news about Francis, hope that his Mum and siblings aren't far behind him :wow: Gentle head kisses to those who need then :care:
-
Just popping by to ask what news of Jordi? Hoping all are good at the Inn, and sending a special hug for Aunty T. :hug: :hug:
-
Julie wonderful pictures thankyou. I shed a tear of joy when I saw Baby Bea with Harvey.
Heres a few pics of our latest troublemakers,not terribly attractive a the minute but look how Julies 5 have ended up.
Vet coming here friday to do 16 vaccinations so will do proper update then.
-
So wonderful to see that Baby Bea has a feline friend. :Luv2:
That looks like a cage full of feisty kittens T - can't wait to meet them. :scared:
-
Jordi looks like a mini lion with that lion-y muzzle :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Breeze, Bayleaf and Bee are gorgeous too and look remarkably still for kittens :evillaugh:
-
Jordi has striking good looks, doesn't he? I love those ear tufts. Which one is the handsome little kitten with the gorgeous black and white spoltched nose? :wow:
-
It’s amazing what flea and worm treatment, good food and plenty of TLC can do isn’t it? It took just under a week for the three B’s to be transformed from their rough-haired, pot-bellied, gungy-eyed sorry state into sleek, inquisitive, happy kittens. In fact they were looking so good when vet Andy arrived on Friday to do the mountain of second vacs that he declared them fit enough to have their first, along with Jordi (pronounced Yordi). ;D Poor old Ivan was still wheezy so he had an AB jab and obligingly peed on the kitchen floor enabling his urine to be tested. :evillaugh: Cornelius was given a gold star along with his second vaccination – he’s looking really well and the move to the bigger pen with an outside run has been just what he needed to complete the rehabilitation of his injured leg. :) All he needs now is a lovely new home.
I must admit to being a little bit in love with Cornelius :Luv2: …and with new boy Breeze (he of the splotchy nose Sue). He’s the most confident and outgoing of the 3 B’s and also the most vocal. ;) His sister Bee is coming out of her shell now but brother Bayleaf is still rather timid. It doesn’t stop him from racing around causing havoc when he’s let out of his pen though. :shify:
But enough of this chatter – I know its pics that really want so here they are. As ever, I have more shots of T’s carpet than I have of kittens but these are the best from my vast collection of blanks, blurs and bums.
-
And some amusing ones……………….
There’s Olivia doing her impersonation of an elegant statue, Constance wondering when she will grow into her ears and my favourite, Breeze (with Bee) looking as though he’s wearing oversized wellies. :rofl:
The last one isn’t really an interesting picture but it was a lovely moment. Nerissa was in her pen watching enviously as Olivia’s kittens ran around playing (she’d already had her turn) and started knocking her ball around. Ophelia went up to the pen, put her paw through the netting and batted the ball and thus ensued quite a lengthy game of footie between the two of them. :Luv2:
-
Some good news on the rehoming front. As planned, Francis Flute went to his new home on Saturday and I don't know how she did it because I wasnt there but that crafty T got them to take Yordi as well. :shify: At least I think that's what happened. I may have got the details wrong :innocent: but Yordi has definitely gone to his new home. GRIN
Cassandra went as planned on Sunday and Cupcake has been reserved. :)
-
Lovely update and gorgeous pictures (as usual!) , Carol :Luv2: :Luv2: Great news on the rehoming too! :wow:
Hope T's feeling ok :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Oh Lordy - clever Aunty T. Brilliant piccies Carol, and so lovely to think that Yordi managed to sneak in there with Francis Flute and secure his new home. :wow: :wow: :wow:
I must not look at piccies of Breeze, I must not look at piccies of Breeze..... :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Lovely pics :Luv: :Luv:
Thanks Carol.
-
Teresa is doing me out of a job, Jordi didn't even get as far as the webiste! :evillaugh:
Some lovely photos there but little Bayleaf has stolen my heart, such a cute little face that just needs kissing :blow kiss:
-
Anyone remember the holy terrors in particular Cannibal lectercat Fred and bad hair day worlds ugliest kitten Charlie,well I have been drooling over this pic for a couple of weeks now. Charlie is a gentle boy but fred lives up to his cannibalistic tendencies,he killed 5 mice and I think 3 birds in a week and one of them was a big bird. Cupcake will be going to live with them on Friday.
also some up to date pics of Bayleaf,Breeze and Bee now with soft shiny coats.
-
Meet Pimlico,he looks like a chocolate box kitten but beneath all that fur is a bag of bones with a wormy belly,he weighs just 500grams. he was found under a car bonnet after being thrown over a wall,it took a kindly man 2 days to catch him,the man thinks he may have heard another kitten crying so we are anxiously waiting for news. Meanwhile our timid little boy is feeling a lot better now he has been fed and cleaned up and enjoyed a good nights sleep.
-
Awwww Teresa - Charlie and Fred are such handsome adults! ;D ;D And lovely to know Cupcake will be going to join them (poor lass! :evillaugh:)
Poo little Pimlico. What a sweet face he has too. :hug: :hug:
And I see a very hansum little Breeze - :Luv2: :Luv2: What a lovely way to brighten up a day. ;D
-
Thanks for the pics Teresa :)
Just look at Pimlico :Luv: :Luv: Poor little luv.
-
What a little beauty is Pimlico.....well done that man! :hug: :hug: Hope he manages to find the other kitten if there is one.. :scared:
Lovely babies as usual! :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Fab news about Cupcake :) Charlie & Fred have done you proud! :wow:
As for poor little Pimlico, what a horrible start to life :( He reminds me of Winston and similar circumstances too - I can only hope that he's not as demanding :evillaugh:
The three B's are looking fab, that's the magic of the Paws Inn polish ;D
-
I just :Luv2: Fred and Charlie.
I agree with Helen about Pimlico - definitely a bit of the Winston about him. What a sad story but aren't they all?
You haven't mentioned the weekend homings T so I'm going to be naughty and do it for you. Portia and her kitten Nerissa were reserved by a lovely couple on Saturday and went to their forever home on Sunday. ;D The lady couldn't get over how hapopy all the cats at Paws Inn are. She was expecting her visit to be a harrowing experience and kept saying 'I expected them to be crying but they're all purring. ' The only thing she found harrowing was choosing. She wanted Rosalind, Athena and Pansydora as well but her husband fell in love with Portia so that was that. :)
-
Isn't that just the measure of Paws Inn: "I expected them to be crying, but they're all purring" :hug: :hug: :hug:
That's just splendid news about Portia and Nerissa. ;D :Luv:
-
Helen, Pimlico is indeed another Winston,now hes found his paws he decided draw blood in more than one place on my hands because I had the cheek to check his bladder was empty,mind you poor mite has a hole near his nose where I cleaned an old wound so I cant blame him. He has a ball hanging on ribbon which he has already learnt to bat around,its my guess he will end up as clever and coniving as Winston.
Carol sorry I totally forgot about the rehomings,just too much to occupy my senile mind :rofl: Must confess to everyone that Carol and Debbie were left in charge of everything on saturday because I was at my eldest sons wedding,so is it any wonder they were all purring with 2 such lovely people caring for them.
-
Hope your wounds are healing Teresa - sounds like someone else I know..... :innocent: :evillaugh:
Hope you had a wonderful day at your Son's wedding Teresa. :hug: :hug:
-
4 spays and microchips done yesterday, Olivia, Athena,Happy and Rainbow are all recovering well, its a great feeling having everything old enough spay and vaccinated,think we only have 3 kittens needing 2nd half vacc in a week and of course Pimlico when hes old enough,all else done.
Carol and Debbie took little Pimlico to the vet for me as I have been a little concerned about his piddling habits and also wanted his hernia and nose wound checking out,hes had an antibiotic just in case and Andy has said his opening is very tiny so now I am even more obsessed about piddle,good news is his hernia isnt a problem nor the nose..
Just managed to fall over and instantly bruise both legs answering the phone,why are coffee tables so hard,got physiotherapist coming today too and she will expect me to run the marathon :rofl: Best get some rest.
-
Ouch Teresa! :doh: :hug: :hug: Take it steady. The phone will ring again if you can't get to it in time. :hug:
Very pleased about the spays for the Girls. Poor little Pimlico - but good news about his nose and his hernia. Hoping the piddling gets better, bless him - like he hasn't enough to cope with.
-
Careful there missus, just cos everythings under control for a few precious seconds doesn't mean you're allowed to go smashing up furniture ;) :doh: (Ouch, though, shins are the pits when you knock 'em :care: )
Great news about the girls, such a good feeling to know they're all gonna be OK ;D
Poor little adorable Pimlico, though. So relieved he's found you, and just sincerely hope there wasn't another kitten out there where he was found. :scared:
Sending Well Done Chaps to the lovely Carol and Debbie for all they do there, and of course topping up the inner strength vibes for you T. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
The beautiful Cupcake went to her new home yesterday and it was a frantic race to clean and disinfect her Pen before the new arrivals came. Bayleaf,Breeze and Bee are now happily outside in Cupcakes Pen and my living room is adorned with 5 kittens aged between 4-5 weeks who I am frantically trying to get lapping,heaven help us it doesnt seem 2 minutes since I went through this with Cobweb and co.
As if this wasnt enough something happened in the brick built Pens overnight and Cassandra and Opelia had totally trashed their Pen and not only that growling at each other with real hatred,Cassandra pure white had a white head and completely brown body,yes she was covered in poop so was the Pen, the only time I have witnessed anything like this was when an epileptic cat had a fit in her Pen. I am praying this isnt the case.
I bathed Cassandra and have a beautifully ripped arm but at least she and Ophelia are now settled together again, and all this ontop of 5 fussy kittens grr.
-
Oh dear - I can tell you are stressed out T because Ophelia's pure white sister is not Cassandra but Constance. :hug: It certainly sounds like something dramatic happened to cause the mayhem you had to deal with. :hug: Whatever it was, I hope it doesn't happen again and its good to hear that harmony has been restored between her and Ophelia.
Five fussy kittens who are not yet lapping sounds like a lot of hard work in store. I hope they are fast learners. :hug:
-
oops- carol just checking you were paying attention :rofl: truthfully i was stressed out,just been on floor trying to feed them and you know how hard it is for me to get up again.
Just had email from people who brought Pimlico,they have searched and no litter mate so good news.
Carol you havent asked about colours :rofl: the 2 blacks are easy to tell apart but identical tabbies I need a purplr hair dye :rofl: 5th one tabby/white,see you Monday.
-
I'm exhausted just reading your updates Teresa, really don't know how you do it :hug:
Hope it was nothing untoward that caused the chaos with Constance and Ophelia :scared: :hug: Good news about Pimlico's (non existant) sibling! Looking forward to pics of the newbies ;D
-
I don't know how you do it either Teresa, but I know am glad that you do (even though I worry knowing you do too much :hug:) So many have benefitted from your expert care.
-
Constance has been fine since and she and Ophelia are best buddies again.
Couldnt resist sharing these pictures of Pimlico taken during his grooming session yesterday,his weight has gone from 500 to 700grams in a week,we are all so proud of him.
The 5 younguns are learning to lap quite well, I will admit to finding them hard work though yesterday was a dream thanks to aunty Debbie doing all the hard work,all I had to do was stimulate violet (black girl)into doing her first poop and did she scream hence the name Violet from Richmel cromptons just William :rofl: Flash (black boy) did his own poop during the night and enjoyed his first botty bath yesterday.
On top of all the running around Debbie managed to secure a Reserve on Happy and Rainbow,so all in all a good day.
kittens all washed and fed and sleeping and aunty Carol coming today, time indeed to count my blessings.
-
Oooo - much lushness!! :wow: :wow: :Luv: He's a little darling - lukkin very smart, isn't he?
Wonderful news for Happy and Rainbow too :Luv:
-
Oh my! Isn't Pimlico just adorable :Luv2: :Luv2:
Sending you a couple of these Teresa as it sounds like you need it :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Pimlico is just :blow kiss:
Fantastic news for Happy & Rainbow :wow: Do the 5 little ones have a collective group name yet? :naughty:
-
The new additions to the Inn are just :Luv2: In addition to Violet and Flash there is Miss Tabby White Socks (temporary name) and two tabby boys (as yet un-named) who are impossible to tell apart and may be identical twins. Considering they have only just learnt to lap they're making a good job of it and although they stand in the food they don't swim in it (yet :rofl: ) so are keeping reasonably clean.
-
Oops - forgot to add the all-important photos.
-
Cor - what little smashers. Aren't they all adorable? :Luv2: ;D :wow: The two twins are very beautiful.
Teresa, sending a snoozle from Ross for you :cat rub:
-
Oh my, fluffy tabbies :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Can I just say... SNAP! I never knew Tufty as a kitten, now I think I do. Thanks T - what gorgeous babies they are. :Luv2:
-
Good grief Sheila. He can't still be out there :shocked: I've warned you to let Tufty in or it's bye bye Tufty. I'm on me way :car:
Beautiful little babes Teresa :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Popping by to say "Hi" and to check up on the lovely twins and Pimlico - indeed on all of the purrpots at Paws Inn this morning. :ok:
-
Sheila, Tufty is gorgeous :Luv2:
-
I just thought Aunty T's little guy in the last pic must've been exactly what Tufty looked like when he was tiny. :Luv2: Wish he'd had the same love and care these kittens are gonna get, maybe he would have turned out a bit more friendly instead of the bi-polar monster he is :innocent:
Rosella, Tufty's out there waiting for you cos his Meowmi tweats him soooo bad >:( :sneaky:
Strangely, the other three of this litter are equally ringers for a litter OH took in 16 years ago this week :shify:
Chausette (black with white chin and whiskers, and socks of course), Jarvis (Clarence the Lion lookalike stripey with pink nose) and Jasmine (twin to Jarvis but much prettier) all of whom were Pursleys litter mates. Pursley and Jasmine are still with us, plodding around the place although Jasmine moved in with a neighbour who re-named her Nora :)
Can't wait for them to grow up a bit -I suppose T must be feeling the same way. :hug:
-
Sorry I`m not much good with updates at minute, All cats and kittens are doing just fine; afraid this old human is really suffering at present and cant type much; but I`m loving reading about all the lookalikes
-
Teresa - sending much love to you and "mighty strengff" vibes from our young Foo Fighter. :hug: :hug:
-
Sending hugs Teresa :hug: :hug:
-
Sending hugs Teresa :hug: :hug:
and from me too :hug: :hug: :hug:

remember the Fusspots, Tom Snout,Cobweb,Titania and Perdita,we were send this picture this morning and were amazed at their progress.
Happy and Rainbow left us for their new home together yesterday and their Pen was given to a pregnant young lady this afternoon.
Pimlico continues to delight me every day, he has the sweetest little voice and amazes us at his athletic prowess.
The 5 littleuns have been bathed and all look beautiful once again,finally they have names the black and whites are Flash and Violet,the tabby/white is Bonny and the tabby twins are Tim and Tom.
All happy and well, Bayleaf,Breeze and Bee are going for 2nd half vaccs tomorrow, thank God for all my wonderful helpers.
-
Fab update Teresa - doesn't that picture do your heart good? :wow: ;D
-
Love that pic Teresa. They all look so well and happy :Luv: :Luv:
-
;D ;D ;D
Haven't the fusspots grown? They look huge in that lovely pic. I think I might like to move in with them. :evillaugh:
Tim and Tom - I like it. I wonder where those names came from. ;) Glad they're all doing well.
I hope the everything goes smoothly for pregnant lady. :hug:
-
Morning Pimlico - going for Gold again today, eh? :hug: :hug: What a lovely little lad. :) Reach out in your dreams, and who knows what you'll achieve? :Luv:
-
Bad news I'm afraid peeps - Teresa is in hospital again. :( Its not her lungs this time but her GI tract. She's been finding it difficult to eat, or keep food down when she does eat, for quite some time now so its not entirely unexpected.
I hope they can sort you out toot suite T and have you home nom nomming in no time. :hug: :hug:
In the meantime Plan B has gone into operation. T's husband Rob continues to look after the Paws Inn cats and older kittens with help from Debbie et al. Flash, Violet, Bonny, Tim and Tom still need frequent feeding, cleaning and general maintenance and as I'm the only one who doesn't have to go out to work........................ I now have 5 little uns in my cat room. :innocent:
-
Oh No, Carol that sounds dreadful :scared: Please send T our love and wishes for a speedy recovery. :care:
As for your plan B, thank goodness for Rob, Debbie and you, Carol, are a true diamond. ;D
Sending shhhhhh sleep now wishes for the fab five. :hug: :hug:
-
Sorry to hear you are back in hospital. Hope they get you sorted.
I am having a blonde day and counted 5 cats in the fusspots photo, thought I couldn't remember a ginger one!!! Must get my new glasses!!
:rofl:
Nicky

Thanks for letting us know Carol :hug: Sending best wishes to Teresa for a speedy recovery :hug:
What a lovely photo of the fusspots :) Hope the little ones are kind to you Carol and don't cause too much chaos!
-
Come on T we hope it is just a quick pit stop, and now the back up crew have swung into action, you can put all of your effort into getting well again very soon. :Luv2:
-
:( Wishing you a speedy recovery, Teresa.
-
We wish Aunty T a speedy recovery :hug: I still think theirs a rather dishy doctor there
Carol hope you are up for the sleepless nights and can only wish you and your charges well :hug:
-
Am very sorry to learn that you're back in hospital Teresa, and as always send the biggest hugs and snoozles for you from me and young Ross. We send you all our love, and hope you can come home again soon. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Carol - you're a star. A real star. As are Debbie and Daddy Rob. Good luck with your Famous Five, and hope all your adventures are fun filled ones. Thanks for keeping us up to date with Teresa. xx

Sorry to hear you're back in hospital T,i hope you are soon sorted.x :hug:
-
Sending many get well vibes Teresa :care: :care: :care: and encouraging :hug: :hug: :hug: to all helpers

Latest news from Rob about T is that she’s on IV fluids to correct dehydration and has had loads of tests with more scheduled for tomorrow but no results as yet. :(
The new pregnant girl at the Inn (as yet un-named) is now eating. She caused a bit of worry at first by refusing all food but is apparently making up for lost time. ;D Her babies are due in weeks rather than days so that gives her chance to settle properly.
Carol hope you are up for the sleepless nights .....
:Nooooo: :Nooooo: :Nooooo: They’re not that young thank goodness – I don’t do disturbed sleep. :innocent: They’re eating (and swimming in) solid(ish) food and using their tray so it’s more a matter of checking that everybody gets their fair share and is pooping when they should.
Keeping them clean is a bit more of a challenge and I'll admit that this morning was the first time I've ever bathed a kitten before having my breakfast. :Crazy: Actually it was first time I've ever bathed a kitten :evillaugh: (although I have assisted before). Sod’s law dictates that Flash, who is long-haired, should be the messiest eater and the one who drops his tail at the critical moment when using the tray. :sick: The poor thing also seems to catch a lot of the loose food that the others shake off so there was nothing else for it other than to take the plunge – literally. :rofl:
Here he is having a blow-dry and later, none the worse for his experience, showing an interest in crime fiction.
-
Am keeping everything crossed for Teresa that the hospital will pull their finger out and find out what's going on. Sending lots of love to Teresa, and of course to Daddy Rob. :hug: :hug:
Good news abuot the pregnant girl. Hoping she'll settle in now and everything will go smoothly.
Carol - what a sterling job you're doing with the kittens if Flash's piccies are anything to go by - from bedraggled (but clean) to fluffed and primped (and a literary athlete to boot!) in no time at all. :wow: :hug:
-
Oh my goodness, Flash is a minature Toby :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Isn't he just adorable :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Sending lots of healing vibes for Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
And a couple for you Carol :hug: :hug: as it sounds like you're doing a great job.
-
Thanks for the update Carol, please let Teresa know that I'm thinking of her if you get a chance to speak to her :hug:
Flash is absolutely adorable, although he's certainly cuter dry than wet! :naughty:
-
Popping by to renew hugs for you Aunty T, and to say we're thinking of you :hug: :hug:
-
Big Sunday hugs to Teresa, hoping you get some answers tomorrow, and that they are happy ones. :hug:
Thanks also to hubby and, of course to your wonderful supporters :thanks: Carol, don't play it down, we know how committed you are to these babies, even teaching them to read ;D truly committed :rofl: :hug: ;)
Allison, Flash isn't just a Tuftyalike, he's the absolute image of him. Can't help thinking, then, that my Tuffs (age unknown, est. 3 years) and your Toby may well have been twins separated at birth or at very least close nephew/uncle. Do you have a pic we can compare? We may have found Flash's lineage, 3rd generation cutiepie ;)
-
Teresa, topping up the hugs, and me and Ross sending you big fat stripey snoozles to keep you safe. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Good morning to everyone at the inn. Teresa, hope you're feeling a bit better :hug: :hug: :hug:
Sheila, I'll look out some pics of Toby :)
-
I went to see Teresa on Saturday and she was feeling better than before, thanks to being rehydrated again but still no wiser as regards the root of her problem which persists. She has to have a camera down the throat today which is not without risk given the state of her lungs so she’s not looking forward to it and would no doubt benefit from some Purrs vibes.
Thinking of you T. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Will update on the kittens later.
-
Oh, that's not a pleasant experience. Sending lots of very soothing vibes for you Teresa, and hoping it's carried out quickly and with care so they can get to what's causing this. Big hugs from me and Ross. :hug: :hug:
-
Poor Teresa :( Sending lots of good vibes :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Lots of 'get well soon healing' vibes to you Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
wishing T a speedy recovery and hope all thrives at the inn.
-
Soothing vibes and gentle back rubs for T, hope the scary movie isn't too scary. :hug:
-
I hope it all went well and T's home again soon
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Fingers crossed everything went to plan today, hope they can get to the bottom of things and that you're feeling better soon Teresa :hug:
-
Spoke to Rob tonight and T's procedure went OK but didn't really get them any nearer to a diagnosis so they're talking about doing another scan (she's already had one). At least that's what she thinks the doctor said - she was still groggy when he told her.
A few pics to prove that i still have the kittens. ;)
-
Well, I'm pleaseed that's out of the way but less chuffed that it hasn't led them to being any the wiser as to what's going on.
Teresa, topping up the love and the hugs for you, from me and a certain Foo Fighter of your acquaintance. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Carol - the babies are just perfect! ;D :Luv:
-
Lovely jubbly pics Carol :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Wherez Tom :shify:
-
Hope they can get to the bottom of Teresa's problem soon. Sending more hugs :hug: :hug:
Carol, the kittens are gorgeous :Luv: :Luv:
-
Sending lotsa :hug: to Teresa,proves that docs don't know everything.
-
Teresa, just wanted to let yuo know we're thinking of you, and sending lots of positive ibes your way. Ross sends a fuzzy snoozle for you, and a nose boop. :hug: :hug:
Love to all at The Inn too.
-
Sending lots of well wishes T, hope they can get you a diagnosis very soon xx
-
Quick hug T before I have to go to work. :hug: :hug: Carol's doing a great job with them kittuns, just you concentrate on getting yourself better. ;)
-
Topping up the positive vibes for Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Did somwbody ask where Tom was? :shify:
Here he is..............
-
Oh boy, oh boy, does he have the right name?Oh Yes He Does! :naughty: :naughty:
Can't wait to see how young This Olympic Munchkin turns out, what a superstar. Thanks Carol. ;D
Teresa, we are all thinking about you and sending super strengthening vibes. :hug: :hug:
-
A huge thankyou to everyone for their kind wishes and mega thanks to Carol and Debbie for taking such wonderful care of the cats and indeed coming to visit me in my
prison cell hospital bed. I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends who are so very capable of giving expert care to all the cats and of course putting up with my moans and believe me it takes very special people to cope with me. Anyway I finally got home late yesterday afternoon after almost threatening to murder the discharge nurse who sent a social worker to offer me respite care for 6 weeks whilst they set up a carers package, I told them old peoples home is not me and they could stuff all their help and asked to discharge myself. 10 minutes later the priest came to see me and found me in a very tearful state,he explained what respite care is but it didnt help, I still feel useless.
I arrived home and cuddled young Pimlico and felt so much better.
Lots of news about cats and I will have to leave it till later as I need a rest now,but all cats/kittens happy and so well cared for in my absence
-
Welcome home, T ;D :clap:
-
Welcome home Teresa,useless would be the last word to describe you! :hug:xx
-
Am so very pleased you are home Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug: My heart goes out to you for all the health problems you have to contend with. I really feel your frustration at not being able to do things and hope your nearest and dearest fully understand what is really important to you. I'm talking about the freedom to make your own choices about your own life. You mustn't feel that is asking for too much as it's not. Hope I am not out of order but sometimes, with the best of intentions, people get trapped into something they hate. I sincerely hope social services are able to provide an appropriate care package for you at home very soon :hug: :hug: :hug:
Thank you so much for the pictures of Tom Carol :thanks: Did you ever see such a beautiful little Tarzan :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Pleased that you've escaped Teresa, you know in your heart that you are far from useless :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So not useless, Teresa. :hug: :hug: Dont you let them railroad you into anything you dont want. Am always willing to come round an spit inna eye if needs be? :hug: :shify:
-
Topping up the :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So glad you've escaped Teresa. Carol, Daddy Rob et al have been doing sterling work and appear to have enjoyed it....Useless - err no, definitely not. Just picture yourself in a matriarchal role supervising operations whilst resting and taking care of that poor neglected sofa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Im glad youre home and hope things improve for you :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa, sending much love to you and all at the Inn, with a whiskery snoozle from Ross. :hug: :hug: :cat rub:
-
Welcome back Teresa :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thankyou all so much for caring, I seem to be going through a weepy time and not really understanding where my place in life is anymore,so unlike me. Rosella I have blown all hope of any carers now because I refuse to go into this respite place for 6 weeks,in fact in true "T" out of control style I told them to stuff their care, i`m not old,I dont need them. I`m a survivor.
The cats have all been thriving without me and our wonderful Poop Queen Debbie even managed to rehome Constance and Ophelia during my absence, I am so pleased,Debbie handled homecheck,viewing and homing,the lot and has since received positive updates.Our Debbie like Carol is an absolute Gem.
Bayleaf seemed a little off colour yesterday and had vomitted a little clear liquid as well as producing a firm poop surrounded by liquid as wormer was due we decided go ahead andall seem fine this morning.
Rob decided to tell me that Pudding (his name choice not mine) the pregnant cat was not pregnant, Natalie said she didnt know she was and alarm bells started ringing so I neglected my settee and sneaked outside while Debbie and co were in the summerhouse Pens, poor sweet Pudding is Definately pregnant its just some ladies take better care of their figures :rofl: I have decided it will be a September birth. One thing that really struck me was her beauty and the resemblance to the late Minimopsical.
Heres a few pics the girls took yesterday
-
Heres a few more,apologies for pics on their sides,struggling with new camera software.
The unnamed cat is Pudding.
I am especially proud of the Rosalind picture she looks so healthy now.
-
Oh Teresa - they're gorgeuos. You can be proud of them all. :Luv: :hug: :hug:
I just love Breeze's nose - what an amazing nose. An incredbly handsome nose. ;D :Luv2:
-
Lovely pics Teresa. Pudding is gorgeous :Luv:
Take care of yourself :hug: :hug:
-
Well the 5 youngsters are still with me. ;D T was expecting them back on Wednesday but I’ve got a shocking cough and cold and I couldn’t possibly go to Paws Inn and expose her to my germs could I? ;) She even offered to send Rob to pick them up but same argument applies, we don’t want him catching it and passing it on to T do we?. :naughty:
So for Teresa (and all Paws Inn followers) an update with pics – all taken this week. Of course I never have the camera to hand when the best opportunities arise. :shify:
I’m really enjoying watching the kittens develop. They all have their individual personalities now but retain one thing in common – they’re never too busy for a cuddle. :Luv2: Its two things really – they’re all beautiful.
Tom is the explorer, always the first to discover new horizons. :wow: Last night he excelled himself and led an expedition out through the door of the kitten room that I had accidentally left ever so slightly ajar. :-[ In the hall he came nose to nose with my boy Biggles who took one look at the confusion of kittens and promptly ran away. :rofl: Tom’s tabby fur is stripey on his head, back and legs but deliciously spotty on his tummy like a Bengal. :Luv2:
Tim, who we think is Tom’s identical twin, is the baby of the group. He’s the lightest and had a bit of difficulty eating at first so had to have special feeds, and as a result he thinks I’m his mummy. :innocent: Norty mummy doesn’t give them to him any more so he wails at me in protest. :evillaugh: He was a bit more hesitant in play than the others to begin with but gives as good as he gets now in the rough and tumble.. :)
Bonnie is the mountaineer, my legs being her initial challenge, :owwww: which she now manages in seconds flat and continues on up to my shoulder. If I complain she makes do with the curtains and is making valiant efforts at the bookshelves but they’ve so far defeated her. :) She is somewhat camera shy..
Violet is perfect. :agree: Well she would be if she didn’t have such a worrying interest in electricity cables. :scared: She’s pretty, she’s confident, she’s smart (always the last one to be caught) and she’s thoughtful. Tim is still a bit of a messy eater so she cleans his bib for him and cuddles up to him when he’s looking lost. She helps Flash to keep himself clean too but you can almost hear her tut tutting as she does it. :rofl:
Which brings me finally to the fluffy one, which is what OH has called Flash from Day 1 and its sort of stuck. :-[ What can I say? He’s a boisterous bundle of fun and fur. If there’s a tussle going on he’ll be in the middle of it, or more likely on top of it. The same is true where food is concerned. :evillaugh: Surprisingly he can look quite smooth haired in photos so I’ve picked out one that really shows his full furriness. :rofl:
-
some more.......................
-
and more.........
-
and finally..........
-
Aw Carol - delightful photos. And very very wise, not to want to risj passing on any germs. ;) :evillaugh:
They're all so gorgeous. :Luv2: I hope they all get forever homes when they're ready - they so deserve them (as do they all)
Sending hugs to you Aunty T :hug: :hug:
-
Hope you're feeling better, Teresa, and have been looking after that sofa properly? :hug: :hug:
Crikey Carol, what a bunch of gorgeousness, and how wonderfully you're looking after them. It would break my heart to let them go, which is why I gave up fostering (and how I ended up with eight!). I love the "get us out of here" shot, and should be one for the next cat show, I think ;D
I know I mentioned the Tufty/Flash lookelikes, but now Violet is filling out, her markings are utterly identical to Pursley, who is also very loving and smart. I think violet will turn out like this :Luv:
-
Wonderful pics :Luv2: It's going to be such a wrench taking them back isn't it :Luv2: :hug:
Hope Teresa is feeling brighter, my boys send a dribbly, purry headbutt to you :hug:
-
Fabulush pics Carol. I could never do rescue, not even temporarily. I take my hat off to ya :agree: I could never let any of em go back. Ah, but you haven't yet have ya? :shify:
Just delish :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Sending big hugs to you Auntie T and to all at The Inn today. :hug: :hug: :hug:
And special hugs for Aunty Debbie and Aunty Carol too :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
As my good friend Carol has kidnapped the 5 wee kittens :rofl: :rofl: I will mention the benefits of Piri-Teze, cuddles, purrs and pure love :rofl: The vet nurse called me on wednesday as 2 female cats had been dumped on them the week before and their time was up, needless to say I took them on. 2 girls around 8 months who were very frightened one black the other black/white,both flea bitten; their names came from the advert on TV when vet nurse called :rofl: things are getting desperate our numbers are way over the top when we need TV names :rofl:
Am really concerned about Fuchsia she is our head girl and heading for 20years young;2 years ago she had a serious heart attack and has a grade 5-6 heart murmur,she was also diagnosed with bladder stones. Fuchsia is the most beautiful,wonderful feral in the world,she is almost the double of Ruths Lexy. Fuchsia has become loving and purry over the years but still retains her independance and hates being picked up for the vet, I am keeping a very close eye on her as I fear her time is getting close, I so hope I am wrong and so wish that just one of mine could go peacefully in their sleep instead of me always making that awful journey, now I`m being selfish,guess that lets you know just how concerned I am. I shouldnt worry Fuchsia arrived here some 14-15 years ago, a heavily pregnant female who I trapped in a conservatory in Byley, after spay time her kittens were rehomed and Fuchsia was released into my garden,she freaked out and shot up a tree staying there until I climbed it in the dead of night,she shot down into my greenhouse and I scruffed her and brought here in the house,goes to show we couldnt get rid of her and she took charge of the indoor ferals ever since,maybe she will shock me and pull through. I`ll not let her suffer what ever happens.
Will try and get the girls to get pics of Piri and Teze later.
-
Nice to see you back Aunty T and not being covered in kitten gloop and poop so nice of Carol to take charge of them and then you get 2 special little girls to take their place but at least they aren't covered in the aforementioned stuff ;D
I do hope Fushia will pull through and know how special those feral gals are and she has been part of the furniture for so long :hug:
-
Oh my goodness, how spooky is that. I awoke this morning with Fuchsia on my mind for some reason. :scared: I hope she either rallies or goes to sleep peacefully in the home she's known for so many years. Sending you a big :hug: Teresa, I know how much the ferals mean to you.
-
On a lighter note I'll have you know that 'my' kittens have impeccable toilet habits Liz. :shocked: Its just a pity the same can't be said for their table manners. :rofl:
-
Fuchsia had another heart attack just before 11am. Debbie and I took her to the vet and she was peacefully PTS. Vet records show she was in fact just over 20 year. She will be missed but I feel good that she led such a long and happy life and will always look back and think of her with happiness. I could not have managed to get Fuchsia to the vets without such sterling help from Debbie who is just wonderful.
-
That's a brilliant age for a feral T - a tribute to your love and care. I'm sorry it had to happen but so glad that it happened on a day when when Debbie was there to help to you. I can imagine how the pair of you feel. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Fly free from pain Fuchsia after a life well lived. You know you were loved and that's the greatest gift any of us can have.
-
Oh Teresa I so feel for you at this sad time with the peaceful passing of Miss Fuscia feral leader at Paws Inn
She had the most wonderful life with you and all at Paws Inn and lived to a wonderful age under the care of Aunty T and now joins the other Paws Inn Residents at the Bridge one of the lucky ones who will be loved and mourned for being Fuschia not just a feral :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa, so sorry to read this. :(
I'm sure Fucsia had the best life possible and she certainly lived it to the full. Her departure, sad as it is, was full of love and peace. You and Debbie are in my thoughts tonight. :hug: :hug:
-
Teresa, am so sorry. :hug: :hug: Fuschia had the life she loved with you - few can give a gift like that where no conditions are imposed on a free spirit.
Sweet dreams Fuschia. :hug: :hug:
-
Thanks Carol, Liz ,Sheila and Sue Fuchsia was so special.
todays news
Pudding gave birth to 4 kittens in the early hours of this morning.
as promised pictures of Piri and Teze.
-
Oh, well done, Pudding. What colours? (dare I ask?)
Piri and Teze are little beauties.
-
I've just spoken to Teresa and she did tell me the colours of Pudding's kittens but I'm afraid that in the shock of her other news I've forgetten. :innocent: Paws Inn has just taken delivery of 5 orphan kittens, estimated age around 6 days. :shocked: That will mean hourly bottle-feeding. :tired: Sending you much needed strength T and lots of positive vibes for the little 'uns.
Come to think of it I do remember that one of Pudding's babies is a ginger. :Luv2:
You don't get much time to grieve in rescue do you? Fuchsia obviously doesn't do rainbows, she does kittens. :shify:
-
Thought I would say hello to everyone. After reading the posts for months and months Teresa has given me the push I needed to post myself. I am the Poop Queen Debbie. Fuchsia has showered us with 9 yes 9 blessings today. We have new mum Pudding and her 1 black boy, 1 black girl, 1 tabby boy & a ginger boy.
-
And here are the 4 orphaned boys and 1 girl.
-
:welcome: Debbie, lovely pics.
-
So very sorry to hear about Fuchsia :'( :hug: Very sad but sounds she had a wonderful life after arriving at Paws Inn :hug:
Secondly, a massive :welcome: to the wonderful Debbie - you are a real star, I know how much Teresa appreciates your help :hug: A first post with pictures too :wow: :gold stars:
I really hope these little ones are 'easy' babies, if there is such a thing! Fingers crossed Piri and Teze won't be waiting long :Luv:
-
The babies will take a day or two to get used to the "feel" of me, I am actually feeding them with a 2ml syringe,we give them the bottle to practice on after they have had 2ml, 3 tabbies are almost identical one day I promise to treat myself to specsavers :rofl: I will admit to finding it tough on the old bones but I am useful again.
Puddings babies have been up to mischief already ,Rob went outside and heard a squealing and yes youve guessed one little black had managed to get out of the nest and couldnt find his way back in.
Helen Piri and Teze are in for spay on wednesday and Pimlico in for vaccinations,hopefully some homes must come soon as we are more than overloaded and today I had to check that poor Carol could cope with the kittens she kidnapped because there is no room, in truth I think Carol is treasuring every minute with them.
Usually asleep at this late hour ,how on earth do I stay awake :rofl:
-
Teresa - sending a big hug for you.
The new babies are beautiful - a motley little crew, and all gorgeous. Pleased that Carol is having to hang on to the five she has a little longer, because otherwise she'd be out weeding those block paviours of hers, and that's not half so much fun. ;)
Much love to all at The Inn today, and a special thought for Fuschia. :hug:
-
Such a mixture of happy and sad news.
RIP Fuschia :(
Carol, how on earth are you going to be able to let those little darlings leave :Luv: :Luv: All of them are just so adorable :Luv: :Luv: Flash is definitely a minature Toby :Luv: :Luv:
Teresa and Debbie, thanks for all the pics of the new arrivals :Luv: :Luv: And Debbie, so nice to see you posting :)
-
All seem well this morning, wish I had a set of teats like pudding with an endless milk supply :rofl: :rofl:
-
Teresa. Sit down, relax, close your eyes, breathe deeply and repeat slowly after me...
I do not want six teats. I do not want six teats. I do not want six teats.
Now, when I count to three and click my fingers you'll open your eyes and be back in the room.
1,2,3 click.
:hug: :rofl:
-

:hug: :rofl:
Sheila I`ve just realised you are as mad as me, actually 5 teats is plenty. :rofl: :rofl:
-
Any chance of Pudding lending a spare teat to one of Fuscia's "Rainbow" Orphans? I never quite know, never having raised a litter myself, if I'm being daft or not (usually am though) :Crazy: What happened to their poor Mum, T ? :(
Meanwhile, I'll have a chat with the banker (OH) on payday and see if I can squeeze him for a few quid to help with the formula. :shify:
You keep that sofa under close observation, mind, and sending much strength to the wonderful Debbie, too. :hug: :hug:
-
Sheila I never mix litters,afraid I am a stickler for isolation.We only know that mum cat was possible wild and had disappeared, close inspection of kittens on arrival revealed empty tummies so definately no mum.
Forgot the pictures
meant to say the black looking one lay across the front is the only girl, she has tabby belly and points but elsewhere is blackish
-
:Luv: They all look very content, bless them.
-
Blooming 'eck T - aren't you busy enough! :Crazy:
Hope everything continues to thrive.
-
Blooming 'eck T - aren't you busy enough! :Crazy:
Hope everything continues to thrive.
must admit it reduces the time I fight with the bath :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
All bottlefeds seem to be thriving and thankfully I`ve now manage to get poop from them all,you wouldnt believe how exhausting that can be :rofl: :rofl: Debbie and Carol came yesterday afternoon and had a naming session, Girl is Dill and 4 boys are Basil,Parsley,Thyme and Sage.
Then Puddings kittens who are fine were named as
Girl = Treacle Pudding
Ginger Boy = Ginger Pudding
Tabby boy = Toffee Pudding
Black boy = Figgy Pudding
yes with those ladies around I fear for my sanity :rofl: :rofl:
Piri and Teze have recovered from yesterdays spay and Pimlico coped well with his first vaccination,all cats/kittens fine and well,just need to magic some homes from somewhere.
-
The bottle babies are waaaaaay too cute :blow kiss:
Then Puddings kittens who are fine were named as
Girl = Treacle Pudding
Ginger Boy = Ginger Pudding
Tabby boy = Toffee Pudding
Black boy = Figgy Pudding
yes with those ladies around I fear for my sanity :rofl: :rofl:
I would fear for my waistline :evillaugh:
-
Love the names Teresa :evillaugh:
-
I wanted Pudding's black boy to be called Black pudding was over-ruled on the grounds of political incorrectness. :naughty: When I argued my way out of that one I was informed that black pudding is not sweet and kittens are, so Figgy pudding he is. :evillaugh:
I met Piri and Teze for the first time and they're absolutely gorgeous - my kinda gals. I tried to get a more flattering picture of Piri because she looks grumpy in the one we've got and she's anything but, she's a little purrpot. However, she looks even more grumpy on my attempts. :rofl:
-
Well where are the pictures Carol ?
-

I just saw the link on facebook, what a brilliant idea ;D A kitten formula on its way to paws Inn :Luv:
-
Some Felix pouches on the way to the Inn. (my two boys will be jealous!)
Glad to see everyone is doing so well. I don't post much, but I do keep up with this thread.
-
Thank you so much Diddly I know they will appreciated it,they have just guzzled their way through another 2 bottles.
Thanks Sabrina.
Huge Thanks to Helen for setting all of this up,it really is appreciated.
-
Thanks to Diddly and Sabrina from me too, my eyes have gone all misty! Some orders have been placed by the lovely people on FB too :)
-
My eyes are more than misty thankyou all so much.
I have just had another kitten brought here and a phonecall from lady on horse who has found 2 kittens dumped on country lane, when my husband finds out I fear for my life.

Well the last 2 new arrivals were in a bad way,5 weeksish,one badly dehydrated,been working on them and improvement seen,no sign of sneezing etc but one has a noisy lung so being careful. They are ginger and ginger and white,think I may call them Sonny and Jimbo.
The other one a little girl just like Pimlico but with some white bits she is very fluffy,has a huge wormy belly but very little weight. Will let you know her name later.
Meanwhile I am in big big trouble and can no longer answer my phone because I cant keep up saying No, I refused so many cats and kittens today I have cried until I cant cry anymore.

Ahh hun :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Teresa, I can't be there to help, or hug. I wish I could . :hug: :hug:
You can't help the whole world, much as you'd like to. If you take on any more now, you'll make yourself ill again, and then no-one gets the benefit. :sad no:
He's right, you need to draw a line in the sand. Saying No never feels right, but you need to be fair to the babies already in your care, and yourself. :yes:
Pace yourself, find strength in the results you're acheiving. You are amazing, but with the greatest respect, please don't ruin yourself by taking on any more. :tired:
It's payday, have sent a bit for the kids, to help out. :)

What a night,what a morning,still trying to teach little gingers to lap although tiny bit of progress made,have stated litter training too with tiny results. Little girl peed and pooped everywhere,she simply had no idea her bed was soaked and covered in poop and litter tray was spotless,all offending poop was put in tray and she has just had a good scrat around in there.
Pudding decided to start feeling unwell so Rob rushed her to vets this morning,she has been xrayed,jabbed with all sorts and given calcium supplements,vet wants to see her again monday but says her kittens are all fine.
Bottle feds making good progress.
This morning some lovely person sent us a snugglesafe heat pad off Amazon wishlist,thankyou who ever you are :hug:
-
Hope those gingers get the hang of it soon, looking forward to pics of them and their wormy belly friend!
Hope that Pudding starts to perk up soon :care:
That was quick for the snuggle safe to arrive - there's lots more things to come from the wishlist, I'm touched at how many people on here and Facebook have bought something!
-
So sorry to hear that Pudding is poorly on top of everything else. :hug: I hope she's on the mend now.
The new kittens sound like hard work. :hug:

Wise words Sheila. I think you should have them pinned up in front of you Teresa so that every time the phone rings you can read them before answering. :hug:
-
Sending much love and strength-giving vibes to all at the Inn today. :hug: :hug:
I hope Pudding is feeling better, Sonny and Jimbo are lapping, the new little girl has settled and all the bottle-feds are thrving. :hug: And I hope you are managing to get some sleep T. :hug:

Pudding is thankfully much brighter and eating again and her babies thriving.
I feel very much like the proud mum today with bottlefeds all showing significant weight gain,the smallest Basil is 180grams,the biggest is Parsley at 220 grams and Dill,Sage and Thyme all weigh in at 200grams,they have all had a bath today,didnt mention it previously but they all stunk of curry powder and no matter what we did it became more and more pungent when they got warmer, we will see if the Jonsons baby shampoo perfume lingers on.
Follyfoot our new fluffy girl seems to be litter trained now,she is very sweet and settling in well.
Sonny and Jimbo also seem to be coping with the litter tray now, they are lapping but very slowly.They weigh in at 300grams and 340grams for 5 week old kittens that is worrying esp when you think our biggest 11 day old bottlefed is 220grams.
Will post pictures of them all a little later.

:briggin: had a few like that in the past - still curry smelling litter trays , it could catch on...

Amazon wish list, great idea. X

This is all very difficult to visualise :naughty:

What a great idea ,Amazon wish list.
Sent some kitten and cat food , and will send some more end of the week.
:hug: :hug: :hug: Teresa.
-
This is lovely to hear how all are getting on, and - that Puddings feeling brighter too bless her. ;D Kittens smelling of curry powder.... mmmmmmm ;D
Love the choice of names, Teresa. :wow:
The Amazon wish list is a fab idea.
-
Goodness me did I keep you waiting Helen :rofl:First batch of pics,
-
sorry they are mixed up a bit
next batch
-
next
-
Thats it for now,lots more but worn out

Oh Teresa, what a fantastic job you've done on these babies (oh, and well done Pudding too, a very cute mixture she's produced there!) The before/after shots of Jimbo and Sonny are particularly unbelievable in this short space of time. ;D
Follyfoot has that same gentle look that Baby Bea had, such a beautiful girl :Luv2:
The tabbies are all so very sweet. I can't say I'm surprised you're feeling rather pleased with yourself, they are a real credit to your love, dedication and skill. Now, feet up, please! :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
:wow: Super pics. Foollyfoot is a looker and I love the name. I've not heard it before but knew it would be appropriate so I Googled it and this is what I found.
'Follyfoot was a memorable series with a social conscience where people and animals were given a second chance.'
Like I thought - appropriate. :)
The Houdinis are all doing well and Bonnie caught her first prey yesterday - a daddie longlegs. I was relieved to see she didn't eat it but next time I looked it was gone. :scared: Maybe it was only playing dead and managed to get out through the top window (but I don't think so). They're getting a bit too quick for photies now and I'm amassing my usual bums and blurs now. :rofl: Flash is living up to his name and is the very devil to catch when he doesn't want to be caught. OH does the morning feed and has to come back to bed afterwards to recover from the exertion of getting them all back in the cage. :evillaugh:
Sending strength giving vibes to you T . :hug: :hug: Not sure whether whether or not I should include all the inmates in that - they're probably running you ragged already. Perhaps I should wish for health and placidity for them. ;)

All credit to the wonderful Debbie for transforming Sonny and Jimbo, awful as it sounds the amount of handling I do must be restricted at present in order to protect the bottlefeds, which means I can touch but not cuddle so Sonny and Jimbo were delighted to have Aunty Debbie yesterday.
Follyfoot was quite a scruff before Natalie groomed her yesterday.
Must admit I am proud to have such a lovely band of helpers and so proud of all our little rescues.
-
Well worth the wait! :)
Every single one of those pictures was squeak inducing, how shiny is the gorgeous little Peaseblossom :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
As for Sonny & Jimbo, they are my type of cats - you know I have a ginger fixation - if only :owwww:
Hope you are feeling a bit brighter today, and hope the postman brings more goodies for the Paws Inn cats today ;D
-
I'm sat here with a stupid grin on my face :) :) :) :)
All of them, just sooooo cute :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Thanks Teresa :hug: :hug:
-
What lovely pictures, the kittens are all soooo cute, I'm totally in love with Follyfoot :Luv2: :Luv2:
I just wish I lived closer :(

Home checks and transport runs can be arranged for the right home :sneaky:

:wow: :wow: :Luv2: :Luv2: A sea of Tabby gorgeousness indeed. And Ginger gorgeousness too. And shiny Black gorgeousness as well. And fluffy black and white gorgeoussness on top of all that!
Lovely to see how good Pudding looks, and the pensive peaseblossom is just adorable. :wow:
-
Oh i love Follyfoot :Luv2: :Luv2: She is so gorgeous.
I wish i had a safe cat proof garden.
They are all gorgeous :Luv:
-
Just a quickie to let you know Teresa is back in hospital. :(
All the cats and kittens at the Inn are fine. The lovely vet nurses are taking care of the bottle feds (they take them home at night) and Rob is looking after the others with Debbie's help. Follyfoot is a star, the gingers have put weight on and are eating well and Pudding is restored to full health and feeding her kittens up (especially the ginger one). I still have the Houdinis who are making themselves very much at home. :shify:

As most Purrs members will already know, our healing vibes weren’t enough this time and sadly Teresa lost her battle with ill health a month ago. Her family and friends have been heartened by the wonderful tributes paid to her on Purrs and overwhelmed by the generous donations made to Paws Inn in her memory.
Teresa’s husband Rob, who has shared the day to day running of Paws Inn from its inception over 20 years ago, is continuing to run the Rescue with help from a small band of volunteers. However, it doesn’t seem appropriate to continue posting updates on this thread so it will remain locked and pinned here as a reminder (if one were needed) of the huge contribution Teresa continued to make to Cat Rescue even when her own health was failing.
A new thread http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,41837.0.html will try to keep you up to date with events at Paws Inn. You’ll probably find that I do most of the posting but that’s because the people doing the real work (Rob and Debbie) don’t have time to post.
