Happy Valentine’s Day to my dear friends at 10 Cats!

Jessie:You made my day! Bless you!

That is super cute.

According to my kittycats, every day is Valentine’s……as long as I feed them.

I almost hate to post anything due to the sheer heart of todays strip, but its Valentines day, and I love these cats and Annie so in due homage to them, I will post what I have for this special day.My wish for you today is full of hugs and chocolate!

The only valentine’s day message I need from my furry-purrer

Happy Valentines Day from my 10 kitties- Habibi, Azzizi, Mei Li, Li Juan, Pawlie, Kiki,Sasha-Trinity-Addison, Cuddles, Beauregard, and Cosmo (aka Butch Catsidy and the Sundance Kit). Kitty kisses to all cat lovers everywhere.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

“Like”

Queen, Jesse, I am so happy that Hoppy’s adoption is going well. Wet, lovely pics yesterday and today.Marge, sorry to have missed you yesterday, hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s day.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone.

I thought this would be an apt thought for today: “I have given my love to what is worthy of love. Is that not the kingdom and the unperishing spring?” (Ursula K. LeGuin, The Farthest Shore)

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! I am off to a silent retreat for the day. A gift to myself- silence! Lol!-—Finally, the cats see A nie’s true worth. Sweet!Have a lovely day friends. Thank you for this one Graham.

Poodle is ready for her date with Chesney, if he is late this is the withering look he will get from her.

Awwww!! We love you, Graham! ❤️

Happy Valentines Day to all! Hoppy slept on my bed, and was right next to me when I woke up. He used the cat box and 3:30 and chatted a little afterwards, then right back on the bed to sleep. He is such a love, and can’t get enough tummy rubs or ear scratchies. I am so lucky to have him!!! THANK YOU QUEEN and RICKI TAVI and GRAHAM!!!! And thank you EVERYONE for all the good wishes and support. I will send pics to Queen today, I promise, so she can post them. A lovely day to all!!!

I’m go glad to know he’s already settled in with you.

Happy Valentines Day to all – extra love and kisses to the kitties.

Such a very special strip today! Thank you Graham!!!!!

BTW, Snow Sez and Mutts (muttscomics.com) are extra special today also!

So sweet! Glad to see all the cats of one mind and appreciating Annie. Very ’love’ly pictures today. jessegooddoggy – what a nice love story for today. Very happy all worked out so well.

For Valentines day here is my oldest cat “Smudge”. She is 20 and I got her on one of my first cat trapping assignments for Forgotten Felines-I love the old girl.

Great strip today Graham-as always the cats come through in the end and show their love for Annie.

To all Ten Cats fans, and especially you, Graham:

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Hoppy is 2 or 3. He has a little “tomcat” face from not being fixed before last week. Queen was concerned about him spraying, but he is faithful to liter box. He is a wonderful kitty, I am so lucky to have him to love.

Today is a good Valentine’s Day – we’ve finally managed to catch a local stray (bad, bad owners, don’t ask) who’s slowly losing fur and the fight to stay alive outside in a northern Maine winter.

Now she can be doctored, neutered, fixed up and found a loving owner who actually cares about her…

@RikkiTaviLove Smudge’s picture…she is one LUCKY kitty!!!!!!!!

Graham, thanks for portraying all TEN CATS today. I know WOOF is silent but I’m sure he too is thinking how much he appreciates Annie. Your scenarios are so touching of how the kitties might be existing today without Annie. BRAVO.

Better late than never, you Terrible Ten!

Yes, I was a little worried about Hoppy spraying before he was neutered, but he never did. The week he was getting his meds before he got fixed, his urine was very strong, as it is in un-neutered males. It gradually went away in the week after surgery, tho. He has excellent litter box manners.

kd1sq: I’m so happy to hear that you are taking care of the poor thing. I can just imagine the horrible story – it’s one we deal with every single day here.

If it weren’t for Graham and Ten Cats, Hoppy would not have gone to his wonderful new forever home. What other comic strip could say that?

Brad and I will drive up there at some point to see him.

I am literally in tears! So many wonderful stories, so many wonderful people! Graham, you are a catalyst for love, do you know that?And to all who love cats, you are blessed people!

About 6 months ago, I pulled a cat out of a tree and gave her a home. Her name is Annie of course. Every day since then she has given me a valentine.

Hoppy in his forever home

Queen and Jessie-Hoppy is really adorable here-how relaxed and happy he looks-yeah Hoppy

That’s a look that says “I was promised Tuna and Double Cream, and I haven’t had any for 20 minutes!”

I think the bedspread matches his eyes!

Great picture though :-)

Hoppy is a very handsome boy. What a heartwarming picture.

lopaka and kd1sq Thank you for your stories and for what you do for our furry friends.rikki Smudge is adorable.Cat people are the best!

Wonderful strip today, so good to see the kitties appreciate Annie (for a change).

Heartwarming stories, too. And I love the pictures of Hoppy and Smudge.

Happy Valentines Day to cats and their people. :)

Chesney with his little red hobo pack is very touching as well.

Aww….Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone, from me (Mary) Chris, Big Man, Bucky – and Whiskers. Keep sharing the love!

More cats than sense: I totally agree with you on what he’s thinking. “I make that long road trip without peeing in the carrier and no tuna and cream?? Someone will pay!”

Rikkie Tavi: Smudge is beautiful. I want to kiss her little head.

@jessegooddoggyIt was special just seeing you and kitty get together. What a happy event, and fun to hear she’s right at home.

No, he is just being sweet! Not mad at all! But still a little confused. He is still unsure of Freddog, but no longer hissing and yowling at him. I am giving him lots of quiet time to adjust. I just love him!

Hi Gweedo! It will be in the 50’s and 60’s this week but today was 74 and tomorrow will be 76. I’ll keep you up to date. >^..^<

Hoppy is GORGEOUS!

And now I must tell my story, think I told part of it some time ago, but the saga continues. It will be wordy, LOL!

We had this stray cat that roamed the neighborhood. 3 years ago, I saw a little grey bundle under our Catalpa Tree. On Fathers Day At first I thought it was a possum, just a ball of gray, hard to tell what it was it was so small. Went to look closer, it was a kitten. Hollered for my son and hubby to come outside. Then called my Vet, on FATHERS DAY he called me back in 10 minutes, first comment to me was “What have you gotten yourself into now”? Long story short, he told me what to. A week later, I find another bundle under the SAME TREE! This one was black. Called the Vet again. He said she must be moving the kittens, leave it there, watch it, make sure nothing gets near it. In the meantime a torrential thunder storm and downpour began so I brought it inside and put it in a little box with a blanket, my son wakes up and hears this little one purring. Asks me what is that?

Well, we now have Little Bit and Blackie! Along with our Girls! What a joy they have been. And the BROS are especially a MIRACLE! Vet says we DONE GOOD! He didn’t think they would survive and told me not to get my “hopes up” so, every time he sees them, he is amazed! Most of the credit goes to my then College Student home for summer son who set his alarm in the middle of the night to get their bottles ready and feed them and take care of “their business”.

Now a year later, Mom Cat has another litter, but THIS TIME she goes into a crevice IN THE CATALPA tree, we can hear then up there, every day and night, meowing then one night the sound stops, Oldest son, who lived about a mile away and his bro who still lived here, decided to get the stepladder out and climb up to the crevice in the tree. There were 3 kittens there, 2 on top, who had expired, and one on the bottom, still alive. Oldest son found the third one on the bottom. He took her, and brought her back to health.Her name is Prynne, She is a BEAUTIFUL cat, with odd markings, and she is actually bigger than her bros born the year beforel Have not seen Mom Cat in a while, don’t know what happened to her but she certainly blessed us! Haven/t had a dog or 2 or 3. LOL since our Charlie Girl passed, and I DO MISS THAT SO MUCH! But you do what you gotta do, right? If my house were bigger I would have a dog or 2!

Dry:Great story, My (then) 4 year old son came home one day with a bag of kittens he found in the middle of the street. 2 had crossed the rainbow bridge, 1 had to be helped over (at the vet’s) and the last one became our beloved Freckles, the children’s very own live toy, companion, dress up partner, and my lap warmer, He lived to 20 and the kids (now approaching 50) sill say he was our best cat!

Hoppy is very handsome!
