Right

A break from the vacation photos. Spent today with the kitties. I did get half the small dogs out for walkies, along with another volunteer. Gotta admit, they are not as physically challenging as the larger dogs. Just don't get as attached to them, though. Still can't warm up to chihuahuas at all. They'll all get homes, the small dogs here do.

One of those long, long, long cats. Stood up in a disquieting manner. But Magick purred and loved being brushed.


Jade was simply the most beautiful cat, who seemed utterly unaware of her amazing eyes, kohl lined. Just wanted love.

RJ is getting on, looks like an old battler, but really is just a cuddler, warm and affectionate. Much older, I hope someone finds him.


Misty is so reserved and quiet and gentle, dear and quirky.

Paco is enormous, mostly it's the extra fluffiness of his fur. Such an expressive face. And yes, he's sitting in his litter box. Many of the cats do this, or even hide under the blankets in their cages. It's a stressful place.

My favorite, Snorkle, a huge grey mix, who loves to just be held, seems to have found a home. With a very nice guy, who succumbed to his furry charms.

I come home, and pet Moby, who feels so solid and healthy, and his fur so smooth and soft. We do our best to do right by him.

Every so often I hear someone claim that there are people who don't believe that animals (somehow distinct from human animals) don't have personalities. It seems like such a ridiculous claim that I'm not surprised to never hear from these people directly.

A nice portrait you paint, Zhoen, of these cats and their traits.

Pacian,

I just assume they have no personality of their own, and can't compass that an animal will have more of one than themselves.

I was watching Edward and Apple playing this afternoon. They looked so happy and healthy. We try to do right by them as well. And it feels so good.
