Arrival Story: I rescued Muppet from a huge cat sanctuary where the cats had been left to starve. Several hundred did not make it and many more were critical when we arrived to try and help the end of May 2007. Muppet and precious Beannie Baby were among the most critical too and the heartbreaking day when Beannie Baby died from kidney failure I scooped up Muppet and brought her home. I didn't want to let her out of my sight. She weighed only 4 pounds, she was emaciated and dehydrated. She could barely walk and she looked like a puppet on strings when she tried. It's been over 3 months now, and Muppet weighs in at 6 pounds. Still needs to gain a couple more pounds. Her kidneys are thankfully hanging in there, but she's still having some problems with her ears. For the first month after we brought her home, she slept by the food and water bowls. She didn't want her food and water to ever get 'lost' again. She's learned to trust again that the food and water will always be there, so now she likes to sleep on a bed or by a window. Her personality is starting to come out and she is such a sweet little character. We love her so much.
Bio: Later, in mid July, Best Friends thankfully took over the sanctuary thanks to my pleading phone calls, and they've already adopted out over 100 cats. About 550 cats still need to find homes. We have now officially adopted Muppet!! Yeah! I named her Cassidy in June when I first took her to the vet, but 'Muppet' seems to fit her better. On Catsters, Best Friends has posted some of the beautiful cats from the sanctuary for adoption. They accidentally put my Cassidy/Muppet's picture on another cat's story. They do have another Tortie that they named Cassidy also who is up for adoption. But that adorable little kitty that I'm holding in their photo is our precious baby. :) The photo I added where's she's sitting on a chair I took the end of May 2007 out at the sanctuary. Muppet, as most of the cats, was emaciated and almost bald from malnutrition, mange and ringworm. There will be justice for the cats in this horrible animal cruelty and neglect case at this sanctuary. I will be one of the many to testify to make sure the persons responsible hopefully get what they deserve. .......................... UPDATE 12-02-07 - What can one say about Best Friends Animal Society? After they arrived, 748 cats were recovered and 684 of those survived thanks to BF's at this nightmare animal place. (They were awarded by the court another 114 animals,that they flew to Utah, when the former owner's home was raided by Animal Control.) In all, over 300 sadly did not survive due to neglect, and in the end starvation and dehydration, by the previous owners. But as of today, out of the 684 cats that BF's endlessly and diligently worked to save, only 200 or so remain that need to be adopted in to their forever new homes. That's close to 500 cats saved, at times to the tune of $50,000 a week in vet care expenses, and placed into fantastic new homes!! This horrible, so called sanctuary, known as F.L.O.C.K., For Love Of Cats & Kittens (Now rightfully renamed 'For Lack Of Care & Kindness') is now known as among the worst ever recorded hoarding, animal neglect and cruelty cases ever discovered in our Nation's history. We are STILL WAITING for the D.A. to press charges................ As for Little Muppet, she's doing better. Her right ear still bothers her a bit from time to time, but other than that her health has greatly improved. Her newest thing is that she's discovered how to play and that it's fun. She still will freeze and stare at her feet if another cat comes close to her. She has recently warmed up enough to trust one kitty, Armani, a huge breakthrough for her. (Thank you Armani for being so gentle and patient with her) She's such a doll and we love her so much. :) (Further updates are in her diary )

As usual, meomy had to brag how well I was doing so I took a turn for the worse the day after Halloween! No worries, I’m finally back up today and acting fairly normal, even playful and sat out back with meomy for a bit!
I had a blast Halloween night sitting out front on meomy’s lap helping Sissy C and meomy pass out the treats! I even let some little ghouls and goblins hold and pet on me, that is as long as they were not wearing a scary mask! *giggles* Sissy C had our front courtyard erringly decorated as a spooky graveyard and had her fog machine blowing thick. Meomy wonders if this may have been what made me ill for the next three days?? It’s always a mystery with me, but I’m feeling much better now and narrowly escaped going to see my doc. Hurray!
I have to say that I am in total kitty-shock to learn that the Cat's Meow, Skeezik & Crew, honored me with a consolation prize in their Halloween Parade! *blushes, purring gratefully as I had no costume - giggles* I want to meow a big thank you to them and congratulate the pawsome winners & finalists and meow ‘fantastic job‘ to all of the contestants who dressed up so cute! The kind furs at the Cat’s Meow sure help to make Caster that much more of a fun place to scamper around! *purrs*
I also want to thank every fur who commented on mine and Chico’s Fall rooms. Meomy had fun making up our rooms and the idea for my Pumpkin Patch room came when our sweet friend SMUDGE sent us the pretty kitty in the pumpkin picture that he said looked like me. Thank you Smudge for the pawsome photo! *hugs*
Meomy’s camera has been refusing to download the pictures onto the ‘puter for awhile now. Humph! She finally went down today and had the pictures from her memory card put onto a disc. She captured a great shot of our outdoor feral kitty who’s been impossible to photograph. Meomy’s decided to soon set up a Catster room for Mystique, as she’s been living in our yard now for over a year, and she‘s become part of our extended family. Meomy even has some pictures of Mystique when she ran into our home one time and plowed through the kitchen and dining room before deciding that she wanted back out! Mol!
Purrs and prayers for all of the ill kitties and doggies, and prayers of comfort for the families of those who’ve had the Bridge call their sweet name. *gentle hugs*
Meomy took me in to see Doc Holly today for another acupuncture session. My doc commented that I didn’t look as peeved as I did last time! *giggles* Last time I thought meomy was putting on her shoes to take me outback with her and I got all excited. I was not a happy kitty when she instead took me so my head could once again become a pin-cushion! I pouted the entire time I was at the doc’s office trying to get some sympathy, but everybody who saw me just giggled at me! I can’t help how silly my bushy eyebrows look when I’m upset! Humph!
But today, although not thrilled about the car ride there or seeing Doc Holly, I was in a much better mood. My doc even put more needles in some different places besides my head. She placed some by my shoulders and down by my lower back. These I didn’t even seem to notice and they are to help with kidneys and some other areas.
Overall, after my sessions I have much more energy and a much better appetite. Meomy says that I seem much more happier and alert, and she cracks up how I prance around the car on the ride home. I get so excited when we turn onto our street and I loudly ‘ooh ooh’ out the windows at all of the familiar homes and sites. When we turn into our driveway, I always ’ooh aah’ a big hello to our tree out front and then jump into meomy’s lap. I stand on my back feet and place my paws on the steering wheel and help her steer the car into the garage. And when meomy opens up my passenger door I hop right out and beat her to the door! I don’t know why, but this whole routine cracks meomy up! Mol!
Meomy tells me that we’ll see how I do this next two weeks, and then she’ll decide whether or not to start lowering my pain meds again. So my report is that I’m doing remarkably well with the acupuncture and small pain doses, and everyone’s hope is that soon I won’t need either of them. I’m very thankful for everyone’s continued prayers! *big hugs*
I wish every fur a fantastic and safe Halloween!
Purrs & Prayers for the ill kitties & doggies, and also for those who have had to say their sad goodbyes. *gentle hugs*
Everyfur knows that I do not like those big, round, scary faced monsters humans refer to as ‘jack-o-lanterns’! Last Fall I let it be known to my meomy and my family that those glowing jack-o-lanterns with faces creep me out and are not natural! But low and behold, what do I see once again in my home? Yep! Monstrous, glowing jack-o-lanterns!
Sissy C and her beau J snuck in six round orange things, I suspect were out of MY harmless pumpkin patch, and spent hours hovering over them casting their spells until the unthinkable happened! The lights went out and there are now scary jack-o-lanterns all over the place! Humph! I have taken flight to my highest safe spot up on top of the monitor and not even meomy can coax me down!
My furmates promised me that they would do what they could to rid our home of these intruders. So if by chance anyfur finds a mysterious glowing jack-o-lantern on their doorstep, ummmm… Happy Halloween? *giggles*
And one more thing Diary, I’ve been hearing some rumors that a one-eyed kitty has been trotting around Catsterland calling himself Muppet! My private eyes finally found his address and I raced over to confront this ‘poser‘! *giggles* His address is 101 CUTESVILLE LANE and his house appears to have been vacant for quite a few years. Humph! I’ll have them keep a look-out for this shady character! *Mol! We wish him well!*
Our thoughts and healing prayers go out to all of the ill kitties & doggies. And our purrs and prayers of comfort go out to the grieving families who have lost a cherished furry member of their household. We sadly all know that there have been so many lately like sweet Calvin and precious Icebox. *tears* ~ Loved, missed and remembered always! ~
