Rosemary is about two years old, a very loving and talkative cat. No secret is safe with her and nothing gets past her, either. She loves rolling around and squawking and will do anything for belly rubs.

I was on the internet a couple of weeks ago looking for advice about what to feed my cat Leo, who is sort of old and doesn’t have much appetite. I ran across one site that recommended a little bit of onion powder sprinkled in his food and a number of people had commented that it worked for their cats. So I tried it, and it did seem to perk up Leo’s appetite a bit.

Ollie was found outside, lost and all by himself. A nice lady brought in from the cold and agreed to foster him to make sure he gets a warm, snuggly home. She says he is a sweet gentleman, who, once he warms up to you, is always in the mood for cuddling. He is quiet and calm, about a year and half old, with that gorgeous smoky grey coloring.

A friend of mine was telling me that now they have marijuana medicine for dogs, just like for people. Is that true? I always thought you should NEVER give drugs to your dog and I NEVER have, but the times . . . are they a-changin’?

Sherlock and Watson, we presume, are about 7 months old with, as you can see, unique and complimentary coloring. Sherlock is black with white markings (and a carefully groomed mustache); Watson is white with black markings (and a white tipped tail). These brothers make a great pair and would love to be adopted together.

I keep reading about all the poor lost and abandoned pets in the wake of Hurricane Florence and then Michael. I would love to help out but I don’t know how.

Caesar is a handsome, six-month old Tuxedo. Doesn’t he look great with his bow tie? He is shy at first, but once he warms up to you he is very loyal and attached.

A stray cat showed up at my door last week, very pretty, very friendly. I posted her on Facebook, let all the local groomers and vets know and checked with all the nearby neighbors to see if I could find her owner, but no luck so far. She is long-haired and I have never had the “pleasure” of a long-haired cat.

Dirt bike got his name because he looked super rough around the edges and was very dirty when he was found. He also looked like he had suffered an eye injury before he was rescued. But, he has healed up fine with lots of good care and medications and there is no sign of any impairment to his sight. He cleaned up nicely too, didn’t he?
