Sad Story, HAPPY ENDING.
A friend of a friend's mom rescued a kitten the other day. Here's the story.
I was driving down the road and someone in a truck ahead of me threw a kitten out the window ( Read more... )
I was driving down the road and someone in a truck ahead of me threw a kitten out the window ( Read more... )
This is Bingo Bob (my dad named him, he's pretty much his cat now), the day I brought him home. He's the one that was fat and happy when he walked in the door as a baby.
That's him as an adult, that's a few years old but he looks the same. Bored and kind of grumpy.
The baby Siamese kitten I rescued out of the wall, not long after I brought her home. We named her Jasmine (Secondhand Lions, great effing movie.)
Those are 3" candles, even tho the sticks are varying heights. Kind of gives a little reference.
That's her as an adult, she weighs about 6lbs and only stand about 5" tall at the shoulder. She's such a petite darling!
The little orange kitty we think was thrown out of a moving car, from the damage to his face. We named him Gus, because he is, well, a Goofy Gus.
He and my bulldog puppy (who is now almost a year old, pregnant through a total accident, and weighs 60lbs) are the best of friends. She's 5 times his size now and he still whips her ass in wrestling matches.
Such a spoiled boy. And soooo sweet.

And that's the only picture I have of Bitch Kitty. She was very squat and short and round. We thought at first that her dark eye was damaged, but she could see perfectly fine out of it. The twisted ear we assume came from an earmite infestation or some other ear infection, it was shriveled and hard as a rock, but it still functioned. She had a short back and a short tail, but kind of long legs for the rest of her body. Her coat pattern was horribly ugly. THis was taken in her later years when she'd started going grey all over, and muted. And she bitched. A lot. "ARRRRRWWWWWWMMM" was the only sound she ever made. She never purred. I loved that little beastie. :)
All four of them wandered into the video store. Well, Jasmine fell through the ceiling and got stuck in the wall, but the others all came in through the front door, when customers would exit. And none of them ever noticed...
And these don't even count the rescued dogs at my parents, or my own kitties living with me...

I completely have to put Bitch Kitty in a story or a book as someone's familiar. She is too cool.

We'd just hear her going "ARRRRRRRRWWWWWMMMMMMM" as she got drug back and forth, we tried to stop it a few times and she got pissed. I think she likes how the concrete scratched her back.
She never got hurt, the dog never bit hard or shook her or anything, just kind of swept the sidewalk with her.
It was really kind of neat how she came in just *knowing* the house, and all the people in it.
Secondhand Lions is the BEST. You will totally fall in love with it. It's my most recommended movie ever. It's perfect for any age. Usually "family oriented" movies make me roll my eyes and bore me, but this one was made of awesome and win.
Oh, and I forgot about Macavity. We didn't find him, a coworker of my mother did. He and a bunch of siblings had been put in a box and left outside a convenience store...the box had been repeatedly run over and he was the only kitten left alive. My coworker couldn't keep it but brought it to work with him and Mom grabbed him and brought him to my house when she left work. I don't have a baby picture of him but I do have one as an adult -- he was massive, almost 20lbs and he wasn't fat.
He was a big lovemonkey too. Sooo sweet and gentle and shy and kind of dumb. We nicknamed him Flaud - a twist on "flawed" because of his spotted nose. Just the one spot, always looked like he'd been in dirt.

That is so horribly sad. But he looks like a big, cuddly goof! Flaud. Heh.
Swept the sidewalk with her. *cracks up*
