Mom has a linky poo for you guys. She figures since kitties like to chase the cusor their must be some screen saver out there just for cats. You she was not surprised at all when she found this free website for kitties. You can find anything on the internet.
Hope everyone is snuggling up for the winter. Mom had caught the last grey kitten. We now have, Moonshadow (Who by the way is sitting in front of her monitor) Moonshine(he is very shy and crazy) is now hiding under the bed. They are both brothers to Feldspar.
Mom tried to catch this kitten for 2 weeks. She made peace with their momma and she comes to the porch for dinner along with daddy cat. She was actually trying to trap daddy cat and the kitten was trapped instead. She just needs to get momma cat inside the kitty city while we neuter daddy. ...well as soon as she traps him.
Wish her luck ok? We don't need more of these guys. That daddy cat is some player. Snicklefritz flirted with him. Thanks to dad who let her get loose, she had three kittens. Mom is almost an alcoholic now eheh just kidding. Mom is a tea totter or what ever that is called.
Sending all my love to you all.
Love Ashley
Oh here is your website link. Moonshadow is waiting for it to come back on the monitor.
To my Celtic friends and opend minded Catster buddies of various spiritual beliefs, who are getting ready for Oct. 31st. As we get ready to celebrate this holiday with our beloved and missed angels I wanted to share this Norse inspired poem.
In mom's spiritual beliefs (Norse/Celtic) she knows this poem will sound familiar by all beloved Catsters no matter what faith.
According to Norse Legend, the sacred Rainbow Bridge called Bifrost connects Midgard (the realm of humankind) with Asgard (the realm of the Gods). Also known as Asabru ("Bridge of Gods"), Bifrost was magically constructed from fire, water and air...whose quivering and changing hues it has retained. Not only do the Gods use this Bridge to travel to and from the Earth, it also leads to the Urdar Well, situated at the foot of the great ash Yggdrasil, where they assemble daily in council.
Of all the Gods only Thor, God of Thunder, never passes over the Bridge for fear it might be demolished by his heavy tread and lightning bolts. The Watchman God Heimdall stands guard over over Bifrost night and day. Armed with a trenchant sword, he carries a trumpet called Giallar-horn, upon which he generally blows a soft note to announce the coming or going of the Gods. However, Heimdell is destined to sound a terrible trump at the dawn of Ragnarok...the time the Frost Giants will unite with Surtr to destroy the world. During Ragnarok...the end of the cosmos...it is said that Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge, will collapse and shatter beneath the weight of the monsters
The following poem is inspired by this Norse Legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

(lady Brenda) Who misses her bubby soooooooooo much. Hims picture will be on my alter again with Feldy.
OK, I know mom hasn't been doing entries or hobnobbing with Catsters of late. There has been many reasons. Mom is going mad. Mad at people who dump kitties on Farms thinking the farm will take care of them. It is the most harsh life for any cat or dog. It is the equivalent of throwing a toddler in the woods and saying good luck! Mom is mad she has to go through this because of weak, ignorant humans. Mom has been establishing a cat colony. Total so far. 18. Yup. But that is including the resident cats whom you see on here.
!. Mom was very sick. The medicine she was on made her vision very blurred. She is coming off of that now. Mom is happy the sun doesn't hurt her eyes. The same with the CRT.
2. Mom found some barn kittens and there was one left behind. See my Sweet Baby-G's Diary entry about that. It was featured on DDP. It made mom's blurred eyes leak. Good story my Sweet Baby-G.
3. Snicklefritz had three kittens. Shame on her. She jumped out of mom's arm's and ran into a bush and didn't come back until two days later. Mom noticed she wouldn't go into heat. Then she gets the Spay Today Certificate when mom could feel the babies in her belly. She tried.
4. Mom was very depressed over losing Feldspar. Hims was like me in miniature. Hims was my minime. It was like this kitten opened her soul and hims bonded like cement and then he left like a snowflake on a sunny August day. He is with me but mom still (being an ex vet tech) hard on herself. Mom wishes people would spay and neuter.
5. Mom now has Feldy's sibling and hers is presenting the same symptoms that made Feldy come to the bridge. She is scared for the little girl who looks like Feldy. Her name is Moon Shadow. There is one more loose on the farm. At this point mom wonders if she should even try to capture it. That is hard in itself.
Those are her excuses. We are getting rosettes but we don't thank you right away or reply, please understand things are hectic and mom's stress level is low and it will make her sick if she doesn't take care of herself. She had to let you all know.
She says she will post Feldy's picture but it is so hard to look at them.
