Remember Knox? Well, actually her name is now Maddox. She was brought by someone to Anti-Cruelty Society, ACS. ACS brought her to Chicago Animal Care and Control, CACC, where her paperwork was filled out as “per ACS, feral not able to touch, will bite.” Because she was assessed as being feral, she was scheduled to… Read more »
Today I was looking through my travel photos and came across this. This was in a resort in Zambia near Victoria Falls, where we saw all kinds of wildlife. I liked this cat because she came down to greet us and show us how wild and free she was.
Remember this post? Today I saw this. Same cat time, same cat channel. Different cat. This was a black cat with an ear tip, also from the Jose and the Pussycats Colony. It reminded me of the deja vu scene from The Matrix. They must be leaving secret messages for each other over there.

It was a chance for all the groups to meet while discussing their plans moving forward to reducing the number of animals killed in shelters in Chicago. All areas of rescue, from foster organizations to adoptions to shelters… Read more »
Mini is the only cat in my yard that made it into my home, and joined my other two cats, Mowpa and Mooha. She started coming around in 2005 where I fed her outside for six months before she decided she wanted to come inside. My initial intention was to adopt her out, but she… Read more »
Every year, the temperatures drop after the holidays, along with my mood. I’m not a fan of winter. But my mood picked up when I saw the James’ Gang Colony cats in my yard lounging all morning, looking totally comfortable in their environment. These particular cats in my yard have been around for a few… Read more »
