Here's some good news. Skittish is back!!!!!

I have been having a really bad anxiety day and even turned off 'Deadline White House'. I decided to get some fresh air and feed the outdoor kids a little early. Just as I started pouring some of the kibble into a bowl I saw movement under the bush where Skittish had always waited for food. I couldn't believe it when I saw it was actually her!!! It's been well over two weeks since she's been here. Maybe it's just a nostalgic visit, but at least I now know she's still with us.

I feel slightly better because this really is the first really positive surprise I've had in ages!!

I got home from my walk today. Didn’t notice Patches my indoor cat was missing. After a few minutes I looked out on the porch and he was out there, calmly drinking out of Tiger’s water bowl. I picked him up and brought him in and he yelled at me. I’m sure glad he didn’t make a run for it, I would’ve gone insane if he just disappeared. But he did live on my porch for about six months before I finally took him in after my old cat died. Great news about Skittish!

a litter somewhere.

Or, was "busy" getting pregnant again.

I see where Arthur got his spots and stripes.

They are brother and sister (same mother, possibly same father, different litters)

I have a great fondness for these black and gray tiger kitties.

Great picture - you're a talented photographer. Sorry about your anxiety and I'm glad Skittish helped.

She is a pretty cat. I hope she sticks around. You are a very kind advocate for the wandering kitties.
