Wild Kingdom

Is there a boy in there?

If you look at the top toward the middle, you can see the dashboard cat, the kitten who got stuck in my car’s dash back in June. She came from one of the wild barncat mothers, and she’s still pretty timid around people and other animals. Hence her name, Killer, after a particular incident in which she hid from the other cats inside a Kleenex box. I still think we should have named her Dash…. The black cat to the right is one of two black boy kittens (from the same litter as Desdemona) that we gave away. Apparently they are made of rubber because they bounced back to us.

But the big pet news around here is the discovery this weekend that our Black Walnut puppy, Blue, is a….GIRL! Well, wouldn’t the vet have been entertained when I brought “him” in to be neutered!
:fryingpan:

The kids think we should call her Bluebell now. I’m partial to Blueberry Muffin Cake followed by lots of baby goo gah sounds because I’m so nutso over her.

All I know is I’m not apologizing for this picture anymore.

My Dear Desdemona

Wild Kingdom

My little buddy. :heart:

I know I shouldn’t have favorites. I try not to say it in front of the other cats. But the inimitably sweet and mischievous Desdemona is special.

Or was.

She was hit by a car yesterday morning. I miss her something fierce.

Requiem in posts and pictures–here and here and here.

:cry:

Update–thank you, everyone, for all your kind comments and condolences. Hugs to you all!
