Thursday thoughts

I spent a good part of yesterday trying to find a rescue to help a lady that wants to re-home her cat. Our local shelter is FULL and putting people on a list. After hearing the story on how this cat was not wanted anymore and was a 'pain' because it wanted so much attention and gets basically none, I felt compelled to help this innocent cat. I could tell after talking for only a few minutes that there would not be much done on the owner's part to find a good home for this cat. She wanted to hand it to a rescue and be done with it. OK...you don't change a person's mind at this point. So I try to help the cat.
Kitten season is just around the corner. What is kitten season, you ask? Well, from the end of April 'til the first frost kittens are born. From April on,  the shelters become full to capacity with kittens of every colour,  filling cages next to the adults that still sit there pining for a home because everyone is now wanting a kitten. It is a very tough time for animal shelters and we are heading right into it now.

Annie and Audrey spend their mornings hunting from this window. Annie is very prey-driven and would be a menace if allowed to roam. She will hunt down a toy in the house and stand yelling at the top of the stairs for all to see her prize and acknowledge it. Then rip it to shreds.

Audrey stands alert waiting for the squirrel that loves to tease her by running up and down our shed roof that is just outside the bedroom window. Great fun!

Found this little Spring tea-cup in Almonte yesterday. I love that it is taller than most and has a perfect little handle. It was in a thrift store and I only paid $3.00 for it. I wish they would have had 2.

Made in England
and now it has a new home.

It's raining today. The streets are dirty with the last of the snow mixing with sand. It's a good day to cat-sit early and then bake some goodies for the freezer this afternoon. Easter's not far off and it's time to get crackin'.
