Trying

 Trying to fill the void...

Just NOT THE SAME! 

Nibbles loves to cuddle. Thank you for brightening my days. Love this little guy.

I wish we could let him be an inside cat.

He is so lovable.

Mr. Big Guy.

Cat nip!

Snuggles.

Baby Blue must be grieving....she never laid where Sharky did.

I am trying to cuddle, just not the same!

We took Big Guy on a car ride to pick up the boys from gym.

He was nervous until the boys got in the car.

Trying to get Shelby to have a leash buddy.

No, don't lay down!

Trying to get Baby Blue to snuggle.

She was tired, but I come along and get about 1 min of snuggles then nope.

Remembering

Remembering some moments.... :(

Star and Pearl checking out each other while Sharky would hide in the bushes.

Sharky - you were so funny!

He snuck in Star's tunnel and spooked us.

You were one of a kind.

UGH, miss you buddy. You always made us laugh!

Sharky!! Always into whatever we were doing.

Uncle Andy sent us a frisbee for Shelby. Sadly, Shelby has a partial torn ACL. UGH!

Her days of running free at the park are over.

Cat Drama

 Now maybe I can catch up on my blog as I come to terms with seeing and dealing with the other cats...

Mr. Big Guy O.G.

We have now had him since May....over 2.5 months.....and still dealing with cat drama.

He is meant to be with us....

July 9th, I took him to the shelter. I couldn't take it any longer. 

The cleaning of cat pee was killing my sanity. I couldn't believe I was going to surrender a pet!

BUT...

The lady who cared for him before we found him didn't want him back, didn't know what to do with him, we contacted the original owner before her and she said she would take him! AWESOME!

She seemed iffy and flaky, my intuition knew it wasn't going to work but I tried anyways....I texted her to let her know we were on our way. I received a text back that it wasn't going to work...they lived by a street and her landlord wouldn't allow pets. WHAT?! OMG, what do I do? I guess take him to the shelter....watch and if he doesn't get adopted, he can come back.

So, off we went....to find out that you needed an appt to surrender, they couldn't take him in since they were FULL! I had to get on a waiting list. Really? Ok. So, home we went. I put out ads and reached out to the cat community, when it came to us. Let's try to keep him outside. He can just live outside and pee problem should be solved at least from his marking and we could tell if the other girls were culprits.

All the sudden, our house seemed peaceful. Even Buddy reappeared from being gone for months!

Miss wicked witch of the north shore.

She is ruthless.

Will follow him.

Obsessed.

What on earth....sleeps by him?

Growls at him.

Protecting her home?

Who owns what?

Again, acting confused on should I be mean or love?

Stop stalking him!

You two are killing me.
