Well, the new little girl tested negative! Yea! But, now my post is off topic! I've decided to board the poor baby over the weekend. She has an under-bite and ear mites; otherwise, except for her being very underweight, she's okay. I haven't figured out her name yet. My new vet is awesome and will check on the new baby twice a day this weekend. She'll even let me know when she'll be there in case I want to visit. I hate leaving the little one there, but I'm hoping that I'll think of something this weekend to do with our two fosters.
I have a friend who's traveling to CA soon. I'm not sure where to in CA. I think San Diego. Any of you from San Diego and have room in your hearts and homes for a non-FeLV cat or two? Here's their pics if anyone is interested (Please forward if you have any possible homes!): Nonie (1.5 years): http://picasaweb.google.com/mzurovsk/Nonie?authkey=58Zh5l6swyU Ashley (1 year): http://picasaweb.google.com/mzurovsk/Ashley?authkey=imb76PXJObI Ashley is much healthier now-she's not as skinny and she doesn't look so scrawny as in the picture. She's becoming quite the boss of the house and is getting more snuggly every day! She a great masseuse! Nonie had a weepy eye at the time of the pictures, so she's not as pretty looking as usual. But her eye is fine now. She loves to hop in the shower with us! Her bobtail is so so so cute!

I could write a book entitled "5 vodkas, an ex-marine, and a kitty." I went to have a birthday drink with my career Marine buddy who was 78 yesterday. That drink turned into 5. Then I went to check on the stray that I'm looking after who is incidentally named Sarge after this buddy of mine-both are blind in the right eye. As I'm calling for Sarge, out comes a little gray tiger. She was so hungry but also scared. I scooped her up, probably not very gracefully after the vodkas-I've noticed quite a few nice scratches this morning from last night. She stayed in my home office room last night and left two nicely sized poops near the litter box on the carpet :-). She's not a friendly kitty that likes to cuddle-lots of hissing. Poor thing has had a rough life so far. Her ribs are practically poking through. I took her to the vet this morning, but I haven't figured out what her name is yet. I'm awaiting the FeLV test. So keep your fingers crossed-for the test and for my marriage! Haven't told my husband yet! I might board the kitty over the weekend in hopes that I find homes for my two foster cats. That would assuage my husband. I need to make room (we have 3 of our own "permanent" cats) before I take in more. We have a 5-cat rule. But does a kitten (about 12 weeks old) count as a full cat? :-) Hoping for the best. Melissa Lind
