What a cute little pudding bowl kitty she makes, Vicki. Nice to hear her coming along stronger and cleaning herself. There are people and animal-people. She's very lucky she has the right kind on her side! Keep up the good work. and I'll look forward to the next report.

Vicki, How are your neighbors doing?

basketkase by basketkase 29 Dec 2011

Jan, they are doing much better, but the hubby still needs surgery on his hip, which is postponed until 2nd week of January. The part hasn't come in yet, as bad as ordering a car part, huh? In Nikolas's arraignment he was slammed with 17 charges including kidnapping/unlawful restraint, several counts of strong arm robbery, stolen vehicle & they are trying to pin attempted murder on him for the neighbors. The kidnapping/unlawful restraint is from the employees at Walgreens, because he tied them up before he robbed them and then stole one of their vehicles to get away in...

basketkase by basketkase 29 Dec 2011

including kidnapping/unlawful restraint for tying up the Walgreen employees, grand theft auto as he stole an employees van to flee in after the strong arm robbery and then they are trying to stick him with attempted murder for the neighbors...YES!!

I hope they lock him up for good.

I know what you mean, it is so hard to not cuddle her all the time, but I need to start letting her be a "cat" too, so I have to strike a balance now. She is pretty clingy with me, and that is OK for now........

Yes, she is a little miracle. I can't get over how tiny she is either!! I also can't believe how long it is taking for all the grass & other junk she ate to get out of her system. Poor little girl was really desparate to be eating twigs!

Thanks, Kay....we haven't had to 2nd mortgage the house yet, but would if we have to...it is just a shame we will not get any reimbursement from this creep nor can't add this on to his charges to make him responsible for this debt...

Great to hear about little Graycie's improvement. It's a shame some charges can't be added for animal cruelty! seeing he caused all this trouble.

Bettina, today, I had Graycie on my lap while I was knitting and Sammi came up and laid right next to her, this time she hissed...LOL! Payback! He laid down anyway, I petted them both and all was fine...

Still so small, poor baby. Her fur is looking better. I hope she continues to recover. My boys Gabriel, Ariel and Fred wish her a speedy recovery. I wish Gabe could send some of his weight her way. I'm afraid he's a chubby kitty. Wish Fred could send her some of his energy.

Yes, am glad you mentioned her fur as we noticed her fur is in much better shape. It is shinier now.

by hightechgrammy 28 Dec 2011

Vicki, When you posted the Angel design I was afraid we had lost her! Whew! Her fur even looks better! Won't it be great when she doesn't fit in the bowl any longer! Praise the Lord you have her with you Has Sammi changed his mind yet? Love and kitty purrs, Jan

basketkase by basketkase 28 Dec 2011

Yes, Jan, it has taken Sammi 3 weeks, but he is almost 100% around her now. The other kitties are not yet comfortable around her, but they just walk away. As soon as she stops spending most of her time back on her pillow in my room and out with them more, they will be fine.

christracey by christracey 29 Dec 2011

Yes I agree with hightechgrammy, I was quite worried when I saw the angel design posted thinking the worst had happened. Glad she is coming along well.

Hi, Marion......She is trying so hard to hide from Andi, her vet tech. Everytime she hears the door she thinks it is Andi and tries to hide under my desk now, so you know she is getting better...I have to crawl on my stomach to get her out...LOL..hugs to you, dear friend
