Sweet Sierra is one in a litter of five black kittens. She and her siblings were born in a barn at the end of August. They have been socialized well with dogs, chickens, cows and grandchildren! Just like a typical kitten, Sierra loves play-time and toys of all kinds. Sierra herself is the chattiest of the bunch and always has a lot to say.

I woke up this morning to pee all over my kitchen counter. I know that my cat, Shadow, is the guilty party, as he is the only cat in the house. He was neutered when he was 5 months old, and he’s two now, so I didn’t think spraying would still be an issue. Why would he be doing this?

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.
