With the exception of one cat DD#2 bought at a pet store and one that was given to us as a gift, all our fur-babies were strays or came from the SPCA. I would love another kitty but poor old Peaches would be too stressed and I don't trust Angel to play nice.

What a coincidence, that shelter cat is out on my screened porch right now. (See my post The Visitor.) But it is still looking for a good home because it can't live up here in the mountains. It is an outside cat - refuses to come into the house but enjoys being held on my lap out on the porch. It couldn't live up here because the foxes or mountain lion or coyotes would eat it. Plus, it would have to fend for itself over the winters when we aren't here. I hope the lady who found it as a stray is able to place it in a good home without having to resort to a shelter.

It wasn't my cat. I wouldn't do that!! I saw a poor skinny cat run across the neighbor's yard last week. If I could have caught him, I probably would have a cat.
