Mancat Monday - The Whitesters


 Here are the rest of our white mancats...I am Norm here in the first pic.  I am a very quiet calm sorta guy.  I don't make waves, just go along with everyone.  I am Snowball's right hand cat.  Georgie is my sister and we do look a lot alike - Mom has a hard time telling us apart unless she pets us.  I am still a little shy and will be startled but Georgie loves Mom and will just start purring and get into the petting.


Next up is Only - Two Spot's brother and litter mate.  He had... you guessed it...one spot on his head that faded as he got older.  He had a serious bout with UTI this past year and had to go to the vet but now that he is on special food, he is doing great.  Mom has us mancats all on this food, just in case.  We get a little bit spread on our regular wet food.  The vet said we only needed to eat a little - it doesn't have to be the whole amount each meal. It seems to be working!


Finally, last but not least, is our main mancat Snowball.  He is a portly guy but put on all his weight after he got fixed even tho none of us other mancats did.  He doesn't seem to eat more either but Mom doesn't know how to get his weight down since we all eat together.  Snowball calls the shots, rules the roost and keeps everything going smoothly for the group.  His only problem is Al who doesn't seem to know that Snowball is HEAD CAT and not him!  They have their fights and wrestling matches but Snowball most always gets the upper hand.  If Al does, it doesn't last long and Snowball is back at the helm.

Hope you have enjoyed meeting us whisters.  And before you go, please check out Avon's story in a previous post here - Mom wants to try super hard to find a home for this little mother cat.  All her kittens were adopted but not her. Mom doesn't know how to post her picture with the link attached in a post - just on the side bar. (If anyone knows how, please tell her) Take her picture, link or whatever you need to pass along!

Formerly Feral and Forever Friday


Hey everybody - Ivy here today to focus on formerly feral and forever homes.  Mom thinks I am about 12 years old.  Even tho I am a mushball lap cat, I have only been indoors for 5 of those years.  Ferals can be tamed and I am proof! I wouldn't let nobody near me when I lived outdoors! Boy have I changed with lots of love.

Did you know us cats are all descended from tabbies?  Experts think that black cats were the first color variety to arise from the ancestral tabby genes.  Since we are all really tabbies, sometimes under our apparent color, the tabby markings show up as ghost markings in kittens ands some adult black cats. 

Not all black is the same  - some black cats with age and sun turn to a rust color like me!  And black is not always called black.  Oriental cats are called ebony or in color points, seal.  OK - enough info - let me get back to my nap in the sun and I will turn you over to Tux!




Last week we mentioned that one of our local shelters was featuring black cats for the month of February as part of their Black Tie Affair. Black cats get a bad rep and they don't deserve it! Meet Tux here from Animal Compassion Network in Asheville, NC.



According to the Black Tie Affair promotion Tux qualifies for a collarship where a local business assists with the adoption fee.  Tux is a black and white gentleman from a family of 7 cats. He is about 3 years old. His person lost her home, so Tux is out scouting for a new one. He has been around cats and dogs, and is quite friendly. Young enough to have some play, but old enough to not be a silly kitten, Tux will make a great family pet, and qualifies for the Black Cat Blitz adoption gift!  Call 828 274-3647 or visit Animal Compassion Network online.

(Mom got all the cat info from a book called Cat Biz by Amanda O'Neill)
