Feline Rescue

I’ve been volunteering with a cat rescue shelter for over a year. It’s the same shelter I adopted Diego-San, Thompson and Theo from. I don’t actually volunteer at the shelter but screen applicants who are interested in a cat living in a foster home. 

My latest assignment is Koi. I’ve screened about a half a dozen applicants but all have decided Koi wasn’t the right cat for them. He has a biting history that began when his original home added another cat, a dog and a couple of kids. One of the kids yanked his tail and his behavior became much more aggressive ever since. He also has feline herpes (Theo suffered from that as well) which is contagious to other cats. Diego-San and Thompson both suffered from the respiratory virus but Alias and Norma never have.

The latest applicants are a married couple who lost one of their cats a few months ago to cancer. They felt the remaining cat would do better with another cat in the home. They visited Koi yesterday and the visit went well. They are going to adopt him!

Best Friends Reunited



I found Porky, Kenta’s favorite toy who has been missing since before his scary health scare. He loves carrying Porky who is either a porcupine or hedgehog to different spots in our house. I have always brought Porky back to other cat toy containers and Kenta always grabs his pal and leaves him in a different place in our house. I thought we lost Porky because I looked everywhere and I couldn’t find wherever Kenta brought him to. Then, this weekend I found Porky. Kenta has yet to bring his friend to what he considers a more appropriate place but I’m 100 percent confident our game will continue…

Let's Stick Together

If we both live long enough, Alias and I are on pace to equal or succeed Diego-san's and my alone time together. More alone time with me than any soul on this earth. I do hope that happens. Alias is such an appreciative in the moment guy. He's taught me lots.

Learning from the Masters

When it comes to peaceful napping, I have a lot to learn from my housemates.
