SPATZ

Spatz has not only begun to purr but actually licked my finger while I petted her. Either she's coming around or luring me in. Only blood will tell.

LITTLE ONE

Little One has been in foster few only 2 weeks and it sounds like she's doing great.  The person that Little One is now living with is taking the time to let her get used to things. Like she did for me Little One is eating like a pig. A matter of fact within a half hour of being there she was eating. When she gains a little more weight her foster person will cut her food back to the recommended amount to maintain Little One's weight. This person is got the carrier out and open just in case Little One needs to hide, but if she does go into the carrier it's not long and she's right back out. The carrier is not in the best of spots but the foster person is dealing with it. The important thing is what Little One needs. The person is moving the carrier an inch at a time to a better location.  I was told Little One has been out and all over the room she is in. The foster person is giving Little One treats and has her almost eating them out of her hand. The person lays down on the floor and talks to Little One and gives her treats when she's in the carrier.  Not very comfortable but again it's about Little One.  Anyone and everyone should learn from this person. It takes time and patience to help a animal get over their fears. I'm so glad Little One is with someone that truly loves animals. I've not mentioned the person's name only because it seems that they're helping Little One because they care not because they want prays and recognition. However if you know this person give them a pat on the back, a big huge and let them know how great they are!

SPATZ

Spatz is not having a good week. Now our driver broke down and I had to switch trucks with him. Tim doesn't pay attention to the fact he has a cat in the truck when he uses my truck.  I have to keep reminding him that the doors and windows must stay closed. It's not that he wants to let the cat or cats out but he just doesn't think about it. I give him little reminders that he will answer not only to me but to my wife Jessica and everyone at Happy Endings No Kill Cat Shelter. I could fire him they would rip him apart.

SPATZ

Spatz did NOT have a good day. I broke down and we spent the night in FYDA Freightliner's parking lot. That was fine but I checked in at 6am and at 8am they came for the truck. I told the mechanic to hold on I had to put my cat in a carrier. We Spatz and I went to the drivers lounge. I watched shit TV and Spatz hung out in a carrier. Who in their right mind would watch Dog The Bounty Hunter? 8 people taking down 1 drug addict. They show up with a camera crew, of course people are willing to talk. Take your 15 minutes when and where you can get it. There is no way busting some crack heads pays enough to support his whole crew. It's an insult to the real bounty hunters. Which by the way most bail bounds places just wait for the cops to pick them up on another rap. CSI Miami was just as bad. Over the top fake. Bad acting on top of it. No I couldn't turn the channel, but I sure did want to! So Spatz and I sat there in hell. As soon as the truck was done I let her go and gave her some canned food. Spatz did a full personal grooming and ate.

SPATZ

Spatz lost her toy this last week. She has a lion that came off a cat tree that had a bell on it's tail. For the last couple months I've been looking for it. Spatz pulls it out of hiding at night when I'm trying to sleep and plays with it. I only get 4 to 6 hours of sleep and need all I can get.  Her playing with a toy armed with a bell doesn't help. The toy is still there but the bell has been removed. She was hiding it in a corner under the curtain for the bunk. My wife thinks I was being mean by removing the bell. This is the same person that says she's worried I don't sleep enough. If someone adopts or fosters her they can give her a shit load of bells to play with. For now no bells. Spatz is doing much better without Little One in the truck. Spatz gets along with other cats but likes her own space.

Autumn

Autumn is a very cool colored cat. She was named Missy which didn't suit her at all. I renamed her Autumn and if you see her you'll know why. She is a tabby that is the color of fall leaves, brown, red and a hint of other colors throne in. I could pet Autumn when I took her back to Happy Endings No Kill Cat Shelter.  Now she is as feral as when I first took her. I had to return her to the shelter because another cat needed me to medicate it. I never got Autumn back. She is like some other cats at the shelter,  scared of everything. The shelter is so under staffed that know one has time to work with the cats.

LITTLE ONE

Little One has gone into foster. I had to work and couldn't be there to see her off. I did leave my phone number and hope the person calls to let me know how it's going. Happy Endings No Kill Cat Shelter has dealt with most situations and if there is a problem can usually work with the person to get it resolved. To often people take in an animal and think it will act just like the one they had as a child. Every animal and every situation is different.  I hope Little One settles right in and the person takes the time to further work with her. She is a very good looking cat and is friendly to a point. Hope to hear how she's doing. This leaves only 2 cats that I've dealt with left. Spatz my on going project and Missy that I renamed Autumn because it suits her better.
