We just...Just wanted to tell you I loved this post! We just adopted a new kitty and while I have been lucky to have several cats in my life I was struggling for some reason over what to feed our new Izzy the Busy. Wet? Dry? Combination? I really wanted to feed wet to this little girl and get away from dry kibble. So, she is on wet food(Merrick,Fancy Feast,Wellness,Natures Variety) and also healthy food from our table now. I just needed someone's opinion I trusted about feeding. And that was you! Our kitties back when we were in our twentys and thirties ate wet with a little dry left out and ate everything we ate at dinner. Or supper depending on where you live :)<br /><br />I love the story about your Grandmother and the two Maggies and the grey cat looks like my first girl, Holly.<br /><br />I have said this before but I am going to say it again. I wish with all my heart you were in our little bit of country. I could leave Izzy the Busy at home without a care in the world with her little self in your great hands!Pix at Under the Oakshttp://sweetdaysundertheoaks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-11270039633034339252011-07-14T21:14:14.373-04:002011-07-14T21:14:14.373-04:00Clearly kitty love runs deep in your family Deb! :...Clearly kitty love runs deep in your family Deb! :)<br />xo CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885238657002176243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-14544776091361524242011-07-14T17:34:38.414-04:002011-07-14T17:34:38.414-04:00I know Manotick!!! :) I absolutely love going for ...I know Manotick!!! :) I absolutely love going for drives there. It is such a quaint, pretty little town.<br /><br />I loved hearing your story. It reminds me of my grandparents farm (now only grandmother). Same type of story, mostly the kittens eat scraps and there are many litters of kittens. They are farm folk and my family, so I don't want to be all preachy at them, but they would definitely be considered irresponsible owners in this day and age. even still. I am sure a lot of them have a belly full of worms, you can tell that it slightly stunts their growth. I have always called them the "midget cats" because of it. Still a lot of the kitties seems quite happy there, I consider it paradise. They keep all the rodents away!! I posted a bunch of pictures from there yesterday or the day before.<br /><br />It's funny, my kitty Tuna loves when I dance around with her too. Aww...cats are so wonderful. You are so right about them being soul-soothing. And just to let you know you have a dream job!!! :D I work at a doggy daycare here in Ottawa, and while I love dogs too I would rather be around the peacefulness of cats. <br /><br />Sorry for blabbing...hehe. You have a very Beautiful Blog!!! and Thanks so much for your sweet words regarding my own! ^__^<br />Take Care...Kitty Stampedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960065615257411270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-5282119597427789102011-07-14T16:34:49.689-04:002011-07-14T16:34:49.689-04:00Deb what wonderful and fond memories - I'm sur...Deb what wonderful and fond memories - I'm sure something very important was implanted in you in that early age in terms of what you do today. It sounds like your Grandmother was a real lovely lady. In terms of the food - isn't meat and veggies what dry food is made from anyway?? I believe most cats on this little Greek island live off a diet just like that. <br />Your Maggie was gorgeous!God's Little Peoplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653169493941824939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-74945949975704615402011-07-14T11:20:30.956-04:002011-07-14T11:20:30.956-04:00I enjoyed the memories and how your Grandma enjoye...I enjoyed the memories and how your Grandma enjoyed cats. I'm glad to know that about clumping litter for kittens. Not that I have one but ya never know! I give Charlies bits of chicken that I cook and other meat. He isn't much for veggies but will eat rice sometimes.Linda @ A La Cartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356471099319932835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-10897814401443592272011-07-14T09:40:44.687-04:002011-07-14T09:40:44.687-04:00Lovely memory of your Grandmother and the kitties,...Lovely memory of your Grandmother and the kitties, plus a great cat tip.Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648866385164116020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-13841330785591963192011-07-14T08:56:41.457-04:002011-07-14T08:56:41.457-04:00love the vintage pics....love the vintage pics....John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-33705217171473855712011-07-14T07:24:38.966-04:002011-07-14T07:24:38.966-04:00Love the photo of your mum; very pretty and elega...Love the photo of your mum; very pretty and elegant. I always wonder if clumping litter is the right thing to use at any age. I do use it and it certainly makes my litter boxes more tolerable in my multi cat household. But still I wonder. I wonder about the whole pet food industry too! The more I read, the more disturbing and confusing things become especially about cat food. They are selling food for cats that include ingredients not good for cats!

I can still remember the day I got my first kitten. I saw my grandfather from my window, coming home from work, with a basket in his hands. I was so curious wondering what he was carrying. He had this funny smile on his face, so I knew it was something special. Well, in the basket there was the sweetest little creature I had ever seen. I named him Gunsmoke.:) Haha, what a name!<br />x~ ♥ LISBETH ♥~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05567294912436645291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-83582934159270781792011-07-14T00:19:52.842-04:002011-07-14T00:19:52.842-04:00Love the pic of your grandma and her apron.
