Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Zolie Earns Her Keep


Good Zolie!
Way to go!
She caught the chipmunk that has been in our garage chewing up stuff this fall.
Pesky thing!
She got him, but didn't nom on him. He looked to be a bit on the mangy side.
For those who don't know her, she is a feral that mom has been feeding for 2 years. The first winter she lived across the street in a warm burrow under the neighbors low deck, but last winter she moved into our garage where she is safe and warm and decided to stay.
Mom longs to pet her but she is still very skittish.

Yay, Zolie! Definitely earning your keep. BTW, we're so glad you've decided the garage is a good place to be, much better than a burrow under a deck, sweetie.

Zolie, the mighty Huntess! Has your Potential Mom tried tuna or catnip to entice you? They both ROCK!

Well done Zolie. Although we feel a bit sad for the chipmunk because they are so cute (and we don't have them here except in zoos).
Sorry we missed Shaggy and Scooby's Gotcha Day. Big purrs for that.

Hello beautiful, Zolie!!! Way to go catching that chipmunk!

Tell your mom not to give up hope. We think in time, Zolie will let your mom rub her. Our Gretchen did!

Way to go, Zolie!!! I've seen chipmunks and squirrels on the balcony here at the townhouse...not so many though since the whole construction debacle...but Glogirly won't let me go out and play. Sheesh...how's a cat supposed to hone her hunting skills around here!

xxoo,

Thanks for visiting us again. We hope the garage kitty decides to trust you. It can take quite a while.

We feel a bit sad about Chippy getting caught. We have them here and they're our buddies. No Way would we ever nibble on them.
wait, something is wrong with that last comment. We think our typist has mis-typed.

You asked about our outside neighbor cat ... yes Zoey gets to stay in the garage at our neighbor's house. They do take care of her ... she just can't socialize with the other cats. Plus it never really gets that cold here anyway.
