Hello, I am Cathy, and I was so stressed last week when I made my first post that I didn't properly introduce myself or my cats.
I will start with the cat that brought me here and then go by age.
Squeak Albert McLane- 6 yrs old.- a male ginger Maine coon mix- diagnosed with diabetes 3-8-14- (born in our house- his mother arrived pregnant with a mangled paw).
Princess Valentine Grace- 13 yrs. old- a female blond-peach color mix- has brain damage and seizures, cannot clean herself, but she is a joy. (Adopted from our former vet.)
Trixie Belle Mullinsky- 11 yrs. old- a female mackerel tabby- no health problems now- but had crossed eyes when we found her. She mothers everyone. (Found in a Waffle House parking lot).
Lil Bit Philistine- 10 yrs. old- a female mackerel tabby- no health problems, loves to be pet, but panics if she feels cornered and is very afraid of any type of care- nail clipping, etc. (Found in a RV dealership parking lot, drinking from a pool of anti-freeze)
Boots McGee- 9 yrs. old- female black and white tuxedo cat- no health problems other than feeling like a victim. (Showed up in our yard late one night talking, talking, talking.)
Martha Tiberius Claredon- 9 yrs old.- female German Shepherd- her hips bother her a bit (showed up in our yard scared, hungry, and had been abused. She was terrified of men, but is a happy and adjusted dog now. Loves all animals.)
Alice McAlicestair Windsor- 8 years old- a female mackerel tabby- no health problems. Unafraid and too clever. (Ran up to meet the dog and stayed.) Martha nd Alice are best friends and Alice has a language she only uses with Martha.
Penny Pi McLane- 8 yrs. old- a female calico ragdoll mix with a mangled paw. (Showed up on a cold December day, pregnant and needing a home. 4 days later she gifted us with Bubble and Squeak.)
Bubble Gandhi Yoda McLane- 6 yrs. old- a 16 pound male ginger Maine Coon mix- very healthy and very much a gentleman. (Born in our house)
Casper McParrot- 4 yrs. old- a female solid white cat, deaf and prone to being pig shaped. (Ran up to my husband in a busy parking lot, as a very small kitten, and he brought her home)
Tommy Edward- 1 year old- male tailless ginger tabby. Picked up at a boat dock on a very cold day. (After months (constant diarrhea) of tests, vet visits, and trial and error we found he has an intolerance to chicken. Digestion is fine with the right foods, but he also has asthma.)
So my husband and me are outnumbered, outwitted and covered in fur head to toe- but at least all are loved, neutered/spayed, indoors, (dog is half and half), safe and fed.
