Stray cat

This cute cat has been on my porch off and on for weeks. I feel so bad for it because it looks like it is not healthy. My neighbor in the subdivision, said she has fed the cat too. It drives me batty because he is super friendly. I think he has been with a family. I just do not understand why people leave there animals behind. My cat really likes this cat. But there is no way this family needs anything else to take care of.
So what do you advice for my family to do with this cute little cat that needs a home?

Our Pets

Any animal in my house must be tough. They must be willing to have Hope love them and dress them up. I am sure our dog will be dressed up in all her clothes as soon as she is out of puppy stage.

Good-bye Bugsy

Last week we went home for a couple of days and left the guinea pigs at home alone. They had plenty of water and food. When we returned Hope ran upstairs to check on them.Pee's alot (yes that is his name) was fine but Bugsy was not acting right and had his head laying side ways. We had noticed he was getting thinner for months but was still eating well and we assumed that the other guinea pig was just eating too much. Rob fed Bugsy pedialyte every 20 minutes for a couple of hours and he started to perk up. We were beginning to think maybe he just got cold or something. But a hour later he passed away. I was really surprised with how well the kids took it. Maybe it is because they have another guinea pig. Later that night Hope broke down and realized she really did miss him. The next morning she buried Bugsy in the back yard next to our cat and dog and gerbil.
I know I am not suppose to laugh but the fact that we have lived here less than 2 years and have 4 dead animals in our back yard is scary. It would not be so bad if we owned the house but we lease it. Hopefully they never dig up that part of the yard.

she is gone

Rob just called and they put her to sleep. he is bringing her home and we will burry her tomorow. i am getting ready to tell the kids

7:20pm update

Rob called back and said that she either had a seizure or a stroke and they have decided to put her to sleep. He is going to stay with her until she is gone. i have not told the kids yet. i really do not know how. Michael is reading to Faith and it is so sweat that i hate to stop them. they have all cried. i am so glad i did not tell them what he said a moment ago because i think even he thought she would be ok.



Rob called 15 minutes ago and said that he knows we are praying because when he got here the vet reached in to get her and she responded and was breathing fine and acting better.
