It enriches my soul every time I meet someone willing to step up and do what is right by an animal. Being on the edge of rescue that I am, all too often I see those who have pets that don't match the couch, who claw up the carpet, who would be too stressed to move, who are suddenly these huge allergens, etc. It makes it easier for me to do what I do when I am reminded there are people like you out there.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-92158620878819157682012-08-17T08:24:57.000-07:002012-08-17T08:24:57.000-07:00That is all so true.

The people that truly love animals and then the people that have animals because they have a use for the animal of some sort such (this is a bad example) as fighting dogs.Sure glad Tucker got to stay with you.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571726966413507123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-81395799525333853932012-08-15T16:53:24.645-07:002012-08-15T16:53:24.645-07:00Beautifully put. and you have saved civilazation. ...Beautifully put. and you have saved civilazation. we can only have a better world if we start small - with ourselves and the world we create everyday. all change begins at home. and changing people into those who give a damn about animals as fellow souls and not just dumb creatures who can be abandoned when they become a trial can only ever be done by example. give your melon-headed boy a hug from us.

No, they're not easy, but boy are they worth it!<br /><br />Leo had some out of the box issues and my vet said to take him off of fish. Granted, his problem was crystals, that are now gone, but since taking away fishy foods, he's been great. No more outside peeing. I saw on My Cat From Hell once that a fat cat had a hard time getting into the box. they got him a lower box, used cat attract litter and solved the problem. I think they also added more boxes.. Anyway, we hope he gets over his issue soon!Andrea and the Celestial Kittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942189938392720055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-28339316029436624412012-08-15T11:38:04.378-07:002012-08-15T11:38:04.378-07:00Thank you for this post.... it is also why I can&#...Thank you for this post.... it is also why I can't turn my back on my kitties with health issues too.

Not everyone would be willing to "keep" a cat that basically lives in the house and has NO desire for human interaction (I swear he would lock me out if he could figure out how to open the rubbermaid where the food is kept). And yet I find joy in his antics and the way he interacts with my fosters. Would I love to pet him and love on him? Sure - but I accept his limitations and enjoy him for who he is (and hold out some hope that someday he will decide to let me love on him a little)Random Felineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591546634183113556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-88390811510856896812012-08-15T10:07:08.093-07:002012-08-15T10:07:08.093-07:00I wouldn't give up on Nicki and Derry, either,...I wouldn't give up on Nicki and Derry, either, if things became inconvenient. I made a commitment when I adopted them, even though I didn't realize, the time, what that commitment would entail. What "unto death" really meant.<br /><br />Now that I do know, I will see my boys out of this world, unless, goddess forbid, I go first.<br /><br />But whether I would be open to adopting again and be open to the "inconvenience" again, I can't say. My knee-jerk thought is no, but I really won't know until/unless I'm in that situation.<br /><br />It's already inconvenient to have Nicki screaming in my face at 4AM EVERY. SINGLE. DAY, telling me to get my a** out of bed and feed him/them and let them out into the back space.<br /><br />It's already inconvenient to cuddle Derry when he wakes me up at 1AM, 1:30AM, 2AM, 2:30AM and I've had so little sleep I can barely function.<br /><br />It's already inconvenient to open and close that d*mned patio door into the back space eleven thousand three hundred seventy two times a day, in the hours I'm home and awake.<br /><br />It's already inconvenient to constantly clean cat bowls, dishes, litter boxes and pick up after them.<br /><br />I wonder, every day, what I'd do with all my time if I didn't have a fur family. Sometimes I get giddy with the thought that maybe I'd go to Chapters after work instead of rushing home to tend to the boys. Or go out to eat, whathaveyou.<br /><br />But in reality, if I didn't have a fur family, I'd probably go home and crawl into bed and stay there till the next morning. In reality, without any other Being to care for and to love, I'd probably end up clinically depressed again.<br /><br />So I'll take the "inconvenience." At least for now. :-)Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.com
