Yo...How wonderful, lovely cats & lovely carers. You're an angel :) What a gorgeous feline family. Yes, we are blessed & honoured to share such wonderful teachings from our feline friends. Your family of cats are beautiful & you're all so lucky to share such happiness together. They chose you/their protectors & sustainers well :) <br />We were lucky to be chosen by a pregnant feral a few years ago. I too watched in awe as she easily shared, mastered the skills of rearing of her young. So instinctive so methodical & step by step perfection. A fabulous insight into such amazing maternal knowledge. In fact she was sooooo devoted to her kittens we simply called her "M.C." .. an abbreviation for Mother Cat as her wholeness of being was all about nurturing, teaching, disciplining & loving. She just couldn't be called anything other than MC :) Still she is a wonderful Mum but more than that she is still a great teacher & student. She is still open to learning, adaption - survival. Its the feral instinct!! When our new pup arrived on the scene, she just adapted. Let the pup know who was boss but simultaneously still welcoming, sharing & caring about the 'family unit' she had. Keeping the comfort so to maintain the continuity of all her & the other cats lifestyle :) The cats & dog often share a bed :) Love is such a wonderful energy uniting us all as one. xXx Lovely lovely post & photographsMs.Chief loves wigwams!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17978808571644971723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-15743615856239221802012-02-25T10:04:07.481-06:002012-02-25T10:04:07.481-06:00There truly is never a dull moment here, Anke. Alw...There truly is never a dull moment here, Anke. Always some action! lol!! xx<br />Aren't they beautiful, Rita?! Just a wonderful experience! xxx<br />Pen, I am so happy for your life change I could burst!! xx<br />Awww Sherri, that is a lovely way to think of their vet trip! xxx good job you on being such a responsible pet owner!xx<br />Thank you Cheryl for your kind supportive words!Well done with your three rescue dogs! People make me so angry going to breeders to get their pets. There are so many shelter and street animals that deserve a loving home. It warms my heart this blustery morning to hear of your little fur family! xx<br />Thank you Lucinda! You are so right, there are so many animals needing homes, why or why would someone go to a breeder?! Grrrr.... I kind of hate telling how many cats I have, but only animal lovers will be reading this, and they will understand I am not some sort of crazy collector... I have 11 and yes, we are outnumbered!! We did have 7 which was plenty (all rescues from the streets, not even shelters, but ones that were strays or left by owners to fend for themselves). Since Peppermint and the kittens arrived we did a bit of juggling to make more room for everyone and insure each cat would have space to roam and have privacy if needed. We now leave our basement door open, arranged it to be cat friendly and put two litter boxes down there also.I won't pretend it is easy, it is not. It takes a lot of work and time to properly tend these kitties! But the joys, oh the joys of providing them their forever home outweighs any negative! lol! I know what you mean, little Peppermint and Lilac are very special. I am so glad Lilac will never have to endure the life her mommy did before I took her in! big hugs xxxxComfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-39642738947042969052012-02-25T06:19:03.350-06:002012-02-25T06:19:03.350-06:00Oh Leslie, so wonderful to see them looking as big...Oh Leslie, so wonderful to see them looking as big as Mum! It's so lovely that you kept them all together and their interactions are still so loving. They are all such beautiful cats. Peppermint and Lilac especially have quite captured my heart! <br />How many cats do you live with in total now? It must be quite a few, you are well outnumbered I imagine. :) <br />I completely agree with the importance of spaying and neutering, it always saddens me when people I know get their cats from breeders when there are so many beautiful cats in rescue centres just waiting for a home.<br />Congratulations on this wonderful family, they are testament to your care and compassion. You're a supterstar! xxxWhispering Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268144918126029850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-14303688095750280392012-02-25T01:18:30.884-06:002012-02-25T01:18:30.884-06:00Well done and bravo for the advice.
We have so man...Well done and bravo for the advice.<br />We have so many unwanted cats and dogs in the UK. It is so sad, the animals have done nothing but follow their instinct, we as owners should always be responsible for the care and welfare of our pets.<br />My last three dogs were all rescue and although there were initially a lot of problems with them, with patience and a lot of tlc it worked out and I never regret having any of them.<br /><br />Love seeing your furry friends.....beautiful to read about the relationship with Mum.<br />I am glad they have a good home, it warms my heart this Saturday morning :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-30882940899006393342012-02-24T17:31:48.486-06:002012-02-24T17:31:48.486-06:00I so enjoyed this post, seeing mom and babies happ...I so enjoyed this post, seeing mom and babies happy as peas in a pod. - As soon as our pets are old enough to even begin thinking of 'getting married' we send them to the spa (vets) for a day of pampering. xoSherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03956294100834139745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-15600696048230063312012-02-24T17:08:44.239-06:002012-02-24T17:08:44.239-06:00Such a lovely post!Such a lovely post!Pen at the Little Herb Farmhttp://www.thelittleherbfarm.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-28649850768271826302012-02-24T16:25:16.235-06:002012-02-24T16:25:16.235-06:00They are all grown up to be beautiful kittens Lesl...They are all grown up to be beautiful kittens Leslie, I can imagine it was quite an experience to see them grow up :)Rita Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523858069296030216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036766049738639552.post-84603578147049020782012-02-24T14:50:03.216-06:002012-02-24T14:50:03.216-06:00I bet there is never a dull moment at your house. ...I bet there is never a dull moment at your house. ;-)Ankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891642887957584851noreply@blogger.com
