Profile Information
- Proud pet parent of:
- 7 cats: Alex, Bella, Oscar, Ollie, Skye, Luna and Honey. 2 dogs: A beagle named Newby, and black lab mix named Cole. A rabbit: Cookie. And a rat: Maryanne.
- How we met:
- Alex and Bella were tiny little stray kittens, who's mama lived on the street.
Ollie, Oscar, Skye and Luna (all syblings) were picked up by their tails, thrown against walls, and terribly ferral. They were about to be used for target practice when I decided to fit them into my home.
Honey and I knew each other over a decade ago, but he moved in with a very nice lady who took care of him and spoiled him rotten. When she passed away a few years ago, her husband threw Honey out to fend for himself right before winter. My mom called me to come get him. =)
Cole lived with a family for a short while. He was a cute puppy, and once the newness wore off, he was pretty much unloved.
I met Newby when I was geo-caching in a cemetary. We played and talked, and then he got ran over by a car. So after his week's stay at the vet's office, and not finding his owner if he had one, I took him home to spoil him continuously.
My rabbit was an unfortunate prize in a carnival game. My 7 year old brother won her, and now she's spoiled rotten compared to her less-than-perfect previous "home".
My rat was a science project in elementary school. When a little girl took her home for a pet, the mom wasn't too happy. So I took her.
That's how I have so many!
- Pet likes:
- My cats love windows, furry mice toys and the occassional can of cat food. Dogs love water bottles and swimming. Maryanne (the rat) loves grapes and chewing on curtains. Cookie (the bunny) likes her own personal space, and scaring the cats.
- Pet dislikes:
- People that don't like them. Although they DO have fun taunting. =)
- Pet’s favorite spot:
- Newby's shade tree, Cole's creek, cat's porch with all the windows, bunny's attic.
- Pet’s favorite toy:
- Anything.
- Pet’s silliest habit:
- My cat Ollie likes to lay on his back with his fat spread out. Most people think he's dead when they see him. He just likes being comfortable!
- Pet’s sweetest moments:
- Everytime they greet me at the door when I get home from work, my heart is warmed.
- I crack up when my pet:
- I crack up when they get intimidated by the smaller animals. (The dogs are afraid of the cats, the cats are afraid of the bunny and the rat, the bunny and rat are fearless.)
- My pet is unique because:
- They all have such wonderful and diverse personalities.

I'll miss my baby
It was about three years and three months ago that I went to pick out my first kitten. It was a stray mama cat and a litter of five beautiful kittens on that front porch. I immediately fell in love with a tiny six week old gray and white one. I loved his little gray nose. Then I took his t… Continue

You'd think I would have learned, but no. Just last week I came home and left a 6-roll package of paper towels on the floor in the laundry area. Figured I'd put it away later and then forgot. When we came home from work the next afternoon, SOMEBODY we will not name had opened and shredded several rolls. Had a good old time. Ha Ha. Little monster will chew up things just to get my attention.
Like you, I cried and wondered why are the special ones taken so early. My husband had chest pains for a long time in the grief he went through. It was the first time he bonded with an animal and I was worried I would lose him too. I felt so bad for him. And me. It sounds like your beutiful Alex was one of those once-in-a-lifetime pets that bond with you and are quite empathic.
Ollie does have the same pattern as Xena. Each of your pets looks like they have very different personalities. Some look like rascals, others look relaxing. I must ask, how did you prevent them from eating the rabbit? My Piccolo is a killer and would not have hesitated in dispatching him. I occasionally take them for supervised walks around the house and he has killed several mice, moles and unfortunately, a few birds.
I just read your blog with great sadness. I am so very sorry to read your pain of losing Alex. This may sound inappropriate, but did you ever find out what happened to him? I lost my Benji in similar circumstances. His little heart just go too big and could not go on. The vet suspected an enlarged heart condition called HCM. It affects large male cats and strikes them down suddenly between age 2 and 5. Like you, I miss him so very much. The pain never really goes away completely. But with each tear, I remember his sweetness. With each tear, I am reminded that without the pain of grief, we would not know love. It's the price we pay for the love of an animal. Our furry babies. I for one, am glad to pay that price, for each day I have with them is a precious gift. I am glad that you knew him and loved him during his time here. He sounded like a very special, and very lucky cat to have an owner like you.

I live in Washington, near the boarder of Northern Idaho and only a few hours away from the Canadian boarder. We feel really lucky to live in such beauty...we hope it stays this way for years to come!
Crocheting, I had always wished I could do that...I tried once, but it was sad! I love a good book in the evening, it's a perfect way (I find) to unwind after then day. Quilting sounds fun...AND if you do pick up both hobbies, you can have photos printed onto fabric and you could make a photo quilt! Sleep/cuddle with those beautiful pics of your babies for years to come :) I am starting an art class, turns out our neighbors have been leasing thier shop to an art teacher...she is teaching painting right now, which I've always wanted to try but never really felt I had the talent for...she's going to be doing some sculpting as well. So I think it would be a fun undertaking, and who knows maybe I'll find a new hobby to occupy my time!
Thank you for the compliments on my photos :) Yes I did take them myself. Don't worry I have the same difficulty figuring out getting pictures from my phone to the computer...I've all but given up! But camera phones are a blessing when the fur kids are doing something cute and you can't get to your camera!
