Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for September 06, 2024

During the past few days, you may have heard Queen of America write about a wee almost-newborn kitten found in San Antonio by Dana, the husband of her friend Deb.

The back story , from QoA:

“My friend’s husband Dana was working down in San Antonio and heard a kitten crying.  No mama or siblings around, about 3 weeks old. Starving! He took her to the hotel (after stopping for supplies and KMR) and set up a big bin with a litter box, water and a stuffed toy.

Dana, Deb and I spent the week trying to find a spot for this kitten at one of the shelters there — no room in the Inns. By now, the kitten had a new daddy she’s bonded with.

He canceled his flight (kittens have to be 8 weeks old to fly, and this little girl is about 3) and rented a car to drive back to southern UT. He had her at the hotel with him for 5 days by now. He was feeding her by hand — he’s been doing this for years so knows what he’s doing — and then started to transition her to goopy, mushy food. This way he won’t have to stop as often to feed the little one.

They made it home last night. I asked Deb if I could share the pictures with my cat group (here, at Ten Cats), including the ones of Dana.

First photo is of when he (Dana) found this wee kitten. He got a bin, litter box, etc, and made a nest with a stuffed toy. She was pretty loud and squawky until he fed her.

Home at last with a full tummy.  I (QoA) can see the difference in just what – 5 days?

Deb said she still gets her bottle and will for another two weeks. She sees the vet next Wednesday"

Back to my own comments …Ohhh, so cute! And what a difference a few days made on the wee one! Linking to the photos worked for me using the Neil Wicks functions. OR, copy the link and place into Google Address (Top) Bar (NOT in the search bar).

What!!!! A wombat license only 10?

Forget the squid license! Forget everything that Lily is telling you! Go back home and just be a squirrel again! No license needed.

Today is:

NATIONAL LAZY MOM’S DAY. I’m not a regular mom, but I’m a cat mom and my plan for the day is to be lazy.

NATIONAL CHIANTI DAY

NATIONAL FOOD BANK DAY

NATIONAL COFFEE ICE CREAM DAY. Ice cream, YES! Coffee ice cream, NO!!!

NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY. That is part of my plan for my lazy day.

How does a squirrel impersonate a squid? Doesn’t matter, he doesn’t have even one scrim p tail on him.

How did Lilly get swept up into this scam?

How much for a duck billed platypus license?

ROFL!!!!

I dunno if I should be rooting for the squirrel…or against it…

He learned that from Hewlett Packard.

You just wouldn’t listen to reason would you :(

Once again got the ‘Microsoft’ WARNING, freezing my screen. Immediately turned off my PC and then ran every security, virus, threat, update, firewall and update scan. This seems to occur on TEN CATS the past few weeks. I WILL NOT/HAVE NOT phoned the number listed on the warning.

Soooooo SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!! <3

Maybe he should have gone with the wombat license. How much for a rabbit license? On another note, saw a wren, three dragonflies, six robins, and two rabbits while out walking today.
