Cookie, Willow & Digby [redux]

March 24, 2013

Catherine says: I began fostering kittens and cats in late 2007 after the death of my beloved Smoggy, and in his honor. After a full first year of fostering, I wasn't sure how soon my services would be needed, but I need not have worried as I got a call on January 1, 2009. Actually, it seems it will be a long time before there is any kind of control over the numbers of kittens that are being born.

Anyhow, I went and picked up three little street kitties. We named them Cookie, Willow, and Digby (the only boy). We think they had it a bit rough out there as they were pretty dirty… but the funniest thing is that we gave each of them a bath and they didn't seem to mind it all -- almost like they were familiar with being bathed -- and they each enjoyed the blowdryer session. They were all very happy little souls and very, very purry. The ideal kittens. :D All three were adopted into loving homes by the second week of February 2009.

Smoggy's Friends: Robert, Colin, Flicker & Pearl
Smoggy's Friends: Edmund, Delilah & Mouse
Smoggy's Friends: Milly, Polly, Cocoa, Boots & Randi
Smoggy's Friends: Mitey & Tufty
Smoggy's Friends: Latte, Leccy, Tabby & Carla

Dear Catherine--You have my total admiration! I remember Smoggy of Faster Pussycat Productions and how you turned your loss into fostering these wee ones. I wish you well in all your endeavors. Plus you have a great way with names for cats.

I forgot to mention the obvious thing--your talent with photos and videos! I was going to post my favorite of the three kitties in the boxes, but this site won't permit it.

What was the story with poor Digby's face and eyes? It looks a bit like ringworm--had to treat my baby Benny for it and a half dozen other rotten disorders. You would never guess it to look at Benny now!
