In a recent [[The itsy bitsy Bitsy|post]], Angela commented about Bitsy, contender for the world’s smallest cat. Angela voiced concern that Bitsy was being exploited for the benefit of her human owners. Well turnabout is fair play. There is now a cat t0uting that he has the world’s smallest human.
So you make it out of a high-kill shelter in the company of a uniquely spectacular clique of cats. One by one, each of your buddies is adopted, and you keep waiting, wondering…can a lovable, marshmallow-y, lumpy older boy find love? Oh, Rickie, you needn’t have worried. Your forever home was mean to be long before […]
So you’ve made it out of a high-kill shelter and into Tabby’s Place: awesome! But now it’s been over five years, and you’ve seen the cast of characters in your suite change, again and again and again. This business of being the cat with the longest-ever continuous stay at Tabby’s Place is getting old. Tabby’s […]
From titanic Paprika to teensy Chalupa, we like our cats in all shapes, sizes and colors at Tabby’s Place. But, there’s something about the teensy-weensy ones that just seems to tug at our visitors’ hearts. It’s nothing new that pocket-sized felines, whether kittens or just little sprites like Erin, seem to get the lion’s share of the […]
News flash from Gradyville: our beloved boy is now off all medications! If we thought Grady was a happy soul before, the tabby love-bug of the lobby has redefined “happy” for us now. The very day that Grady’s hated meds stopped, he was giddier than a 4-year-old at Disney Land.
…Mary has been adopted, after less than 4 months at Tabby’s Place. Now, if ever we thought a cat could be “unadoptable,” Bagheera and his adopter smashed that prejudice last summer. But, by most estimations, wide-eyed Mary came close. Even this sweet pea’s original rescuer predicted, and I quote, “Mary will be a ‘lifer’ at […]
There’s happy news at Tabby’s Place this week: the four sweethearts rescued from the hoarding situation in Chester (the Dessert Kids, Twinkie, Cupcake, Strudel and Trifle) are out of quarantine and in a suite of their own. Now begins the slow, patient work of helping them to learn that humans can love them well, and […]
You have got to watch this video. It is hi-freakin’-larious. Brilliant. Further comments from me would be superfluous, even nugatory.
My posts have been somewhat heavy recently, so I’ll lighten the mood with this post about some nice artsy, cat-related goings on in Catskill, NY. Catskill is hosting an outdoor art dipslay, called “Art Cats on Display.”
Several months ago I posted about the animal abuse charges against Dale Bozzio, former lead singer for the new wave band Missing Persons. Bozzio was charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty after investigators found her house stuffed with neglected cats. Bozzio went to trial in April and was found guilty (though not of all charges) and […]
