Jordy--a cat with great love inside him that still showed, even after such a tragedy that he suffered.  A cat that we shall miss. He passed yesterday afternoon, peacefully while being told he was loved.  This is what I love about cats---even those that have been abused, tossed, starved and neglected have that capacity to still love. And that's what Jordy did.  He chirped at us, purred and loved to push his head into our hands for some good petting.  Jordy's pancreatitis was being treated when he then went into liver failure. We will all remember him by his sweetness, his gentleness and the way he showed love to us. 

"The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love."--Hilary Stanton Zunin.  Such very very wise words. I will remember these words.

Mama Calico Cat is back at her much loved Firehouse and is happy! She is doing good and is in a stable spot right now. She ate a good breakfast today.

The mama Persians, Julianne and Nsuku loves playing with the laser light. They skitter and run after it! So cute. They are doing so good together now and feel a sisterhood between them! Joyful even whacked the red light as it went by.

Our two new girls are doing good.  Esta Sparkles enjoys roaming around and is eating good. She welcomes petting and sweet talk.  Annetta is trying to adjust. It's hard for her since she cannot see anything. But she is strong and determined and is happy. We are treating both eyes for infection. They are both down on the floor in the front Thumper's Room.

For those that enjoy Cat Shows, there's the TICA one February 10-11 at the Lucas County Recreation Center in Maumee, OH.  They have a 500 cat limit, so there will be lots of cats to see. Normally, there's many vendors there too showing their cat items for sale.
