Eww eww eww!! Cockroaches are the worst thing EVER ( Read more... )

The kittens are all boys. So, it's Ace (brown tabby), Lucky (orange tabby) and Blackjack (the black one of course). They've been to the vet, and it turns out they have kitty herpes. Their mom slept around, so that's probably why. Ace also has a congenital heart defect, which means he might not live out his whole life without open-heart surgery ( ( Read more... )

I found out about a local organization which puts pets up for adoption at Petsmart. The only requirement is that the animal is healthy and has all its shots. So I decided to tame the kittens. I cleaned out my sister's spare bedroom, set up a hidey-spot, and caught two kittens on Thursday night: the orange one and one of the tabbies (they're both ( Read more... )

A woman named Stacey knocked on my door this afternoon asking to use my phone. Her car had been stolen (along with her purse). But she was worried about filing the police report because she has a traffic violation, which she says will land her in jail. (I thought they just fined you ( Read more... )

Shit. She has at least four kittens. One orange tabby, two brown tabbies, and one black kitten. I called animal shelters today... They all automatically put feral kittens down. Shit, shit, shit. I'm going to have to take up a collection for their shots and spay/neuters. If anyone wants a kitten, I'll tame one for you. Seriously. You can have the ( Read more... )

So my suspicions were confirmed last night... The stray cat I feed on my sister's porch has kittens. Two, as far as I can tell: one brown tabby and one mini Whiskey (orange tabby). They're tiny and bony just like their mom. I can't imagine she's been able to take care of them well, poor thing. I figured that the cat brought her babies to the porch ( Read more... )

Once when I was flying home, there was a golden retreiver on the plane. Loose. Not in a crate or anything. Not accompanying a blind person. Now, I knew that was unusual. Unless they can fit into a cat carrier, dogs ride with the cargo. So when we were getting off the plane, I asked the people why their dog was riding in the cabin ( Read more... )

Ugh... I mowed my sister's lawn today. With a push mower. It was rediculously hard and took over an hour. Plus, when I mowed the front lawn, I got honked at a couple of times. One car even stopped and the guy (guys? I didn't look) tried to get my attention, and one man who walked by asked if I needed help. Yes, I did, but I didn't need some ( Read more... )

Eww eww eww... I feed stray cats on the porch outside my sister's house, but tonight, I ended up feeding slugs, too. So gross. I walked out there and there were two of the things chowing down. I ask you, since when do slugs eat cat food? Well, the cat wasn't there, so I didn't worry about it. I just stepped around the others on the porch ( Read more... )

So I haven't updated this in a very long while, but I have to record an incident this morning. I was walking my sister's dog around her (not so nice) neighborhood in Shreveport. Junk piles in front yards, weeds as big as trees, houses falling down. So I was about a mile away from her house and I crossed paths with, I'm guessing, one of the town ( Read more... )
