feeding the hungry

The snowstorm on Friday has brought more birds and squirrels to the feeders. I've seen doves, pigeons, starling, chickadee & squirrels eating from what is supposed to be 'squirrel-proof feeders'. Aren't squirrels hilarious? The red ones are nasty!


This is wonderful entertainment for my kitty clients. What a great way to pass the time while their owners lie on a beach somewhere. When I was over at the 'spot' to feed the ferals there were birds waiting there for food. Everything is so hungry these days.
At home, mom & kid spend their morning in a box and miss everything
while I talk to my orchid in hopes that it likes that and will bloom forever. I'm good with cats....not so much orchids.

I have a busy weekend of cat-sitting but also keeping an eye on Lily. Her ear is looking much better but we still have a few more days of medication. I have noticed just today that she did not eat  breakfast. She just wasn't interested. I am worried about her now. I was told she has a heart murmur and she has lost some weight. I will make an appt. on Monday for a blood test to see what is going on with this beautiful little cat. Until then, I'll coax her with all her favorites to get her eating. Along with the contentment & familiarity of living with older cats, there is always so much worry.  

hugs, Deb

  3. I love squirrels! We have two in our back yard. They are always so busy gathering the nuts we put out for them. They disappear in their holes and sometimes we don't see them for days.

    I hope Lily will feel like eating and hope everything is okay with her.

  7. Hugs and kisses to you, dear Lily. We've got you in our prayers.
    The box kitties look totally content. They've got everything they need and more!
    I think Audrey is begining to look more like her mum, what do you think?
    God bless you, Deb, for helping all the little ones get through the snowy weather.
