I've thought about maybe returning to dA, but every time I try to........ I'm somewhat overwhelmed by all the changes to the website. It seems needlessly complicated to me now.


If any of my friends are still one here I just want to update them on me and my cats. I'm doing good. Unfortunately I've lost some of my kitties y'all may remember seeing on here. All due to age related illnesses. Scooter Bug (2005-2020), Dollar (2004-2021), Bob Ford (2006-2021), and Miami Gritz (2003-2022). It was hard loosing them and I miss them all dearly, but they all got to live long, happy lives.


In good news Lilly (2005) and Weasel (2006) are still around and I've got a few new kitties that have came into my life. If I can figure out how to work this new dA I will try to add some photos of them.

UPDATE July 31, 2016---It's been over 3 days and still no sign.....:( 
I 'm so heartbroken, she's been with me since I was 17 years old...I'm in my 30s now. This is so hard on me. She moved with me from my old house to my current house back in 2002.

When she was ran over back in 2004 she came crawling up to me meowing pitifully I scooped her up and got her to the vet. The vet couldn't really do much and didn't even think she would live. Earthy couldn't walk do to her broken pelves and fractured spine. I was by her side to help her learn to walk again. I held her in my hands off the ground while she would move her legs.

I nursed her back to health in 2009 after she got lost under the house for 10 days. We've been through so much together. I keep telling myself she'll come home, but I just have a bad feeling that she won't because she was getting old and a bit frail.

On letting her outside - Earthy couldn't be made an indoor cat only. When she was ran over in 2004 I forced her to stay inside even after she had finally got well enough to get around. She was so depressed being locked indoors, so I just started letting her outside again. And she was very happy.


Thank you to all my watchers for being here for me during this painful time. :hug:

July 28, 2016

She's 16 years old, survived being ran over by a car in 2004 that broke her pelvis and fractured her spine, she survived an episode of being lost under the house for 10 days back in 2009, and she's pulled through many other close calls. I let her outside at 2am July 28, 2016 and I've not seen her since. Normally I wouldn't worry so much, but she's getting old and she never wonders far from the house. It's not like her to not be there when I check on her. :(
