GUESS WE'RE ODD PERSONS OUT!!
Well, I know neither Bruiser or I are normal, whatever that is! Unless I missed it, everyone so far has dogs. We love dogs, but after our Maxx passed away several years ago, we decided we were going to stay with cats. Our four allow us to live here, so they can be fed, have shelter, and be loved. They are all rescue kitties. Cooper (11) and Sassy (10) were both from the Feral Cat Rescue. We got them when they were a year old (a year apart, of course). Ivan (pictured) is the littlest bit, and we rescued him from the local (kill) shelter. Christmas Eve 2009, Bruiser was doing some last minute shopping. Two women came out of the pet supplies store next door to where he had been shopping. Long story short, they were just going to drop the cat they had. Bruiser took the cat, shelter was closed, so GC (garage cat) stayed in the garage for two weeks because he had fleas and wasn't fixed. As soon as Christmas/New Year's was over, we took him to the vet to have him neutered and treat him for fleas. We advertised him for adoption, but - he's no. 4 in the household. We're guessing both Ivan and Christian, formerly known as GC, are about 4 years old.
And, no, none of them ride with us. If we tried to put any of them in a carrier to ride, it would sound like the old cartoons where the human cranked up the cat's tail!!
In addition, we feed about 5 or 6 feral cats ( and raccoons, a couple of foxes, and the occasional opossum!). We also do TNR (trap, neuter, release) and so far have caught two. We need to get the trap back out to catch the rest of them. We may not be able to get them a home, as they are very feral, but at least we can feed them, have them fixed so we won't have a bigger feral colony, and they will live longer.
We are animal lovers, and enjoyed reading about all of yours!
