Moonbeam.

I was out to run an errand, but I saw this fellow on a porch. I called him as I call all cats, "Kitty! Kitty!" He came, of course. I pet him. He purred. My phone rang. I kept petting him while on the phone, until I looked down and saw that I had stepped in dog poo.

a kitten called Apple















On February 1st I helped someone move. Her cat, Apple, followed me everywhere.

Jimmy





























Jimmy here lives in the Annex. One afternoon I was rushing home and spotted him. Even though I was strapped for time, I couldn't resist a connection with a neighbourhood friend. His meow made me want to scoop him up and take him home with me. He followed me for a bit, then hid behind a blue garbage bin, peered out from it and watched me walk away.

180 cats in one home



Link with video

From Gothamist:

Newsday has video of the rescue operation to remove 180-200 cats from one home in Moriches, Long Island. Apparently rescue group Rescue Ink got a tip about the house and the homeowner (who believes there are more like 100 cats) agreed to give up the cats.

The cats are being inoculated first, then taken to centers for spaying and neutering, and finally will go to no-kill shelters in Long Island and NYC where they can be adopted. The entire process is expected to take weeks, if not months.

A neighbor told Newsday the cats haven't been a bother, but, "The odor, yes. Hopefully, the cats will get the help they need." You can contact Rescue Ink at 800-510-7355 or info@rescueink.org for information on adopting the cats.

Dorothy


Here's Dorothy (and V, holding her). Dorothy is R and N's cat, who looks kind of like E's cat Layla, and, by extension, Nina.
