Went to a reception for a young lady running for delegate of our district in our state government. It was held in a B & B Inn which is quite historic and lovely. It was interesting, she was charming and well versed, the Inn was beautiful and the caterer was great. That being said, I would have loved to be in your shoes in that beautiful theater watching To Kill a Mockingbird. :-)))

Glenda...gorgeous place!

georgeysmom....nice!

amylou....Thank you for rescuing the little guy!

We purchased a Cherry Canada Tree. The new growth is green, the old is dark cherry colored. Two leaf colors on "one" tree....and it blooms in the Spring.

Mine is formed into a tree shape

Thank you and your co worker for caring for the cat.

My day...more clean up in preparation to move and we were given a load of dog and cat food by one of the shelters, so we went to pick it up.

Glenda, do you live near Monroeville? We stopped there on a road trip years ago to see the Old Courthouse Museum. Was an enjoyable visit.

Monroeville is in the southern part of Al. I've never been there. Beautiful courtroom picture, Andie.

Crazy bunch of calls at work today, you'd think it was a full moon tonight! One woman called to refill meds for her dead father. When I made the comment that our records showed he died last month, she hung up.

Drove through here today, on my way to see Rose.

Oh that poor baby kitten is breaking my heart. She must be in such pain and so scared. Thank you for rescuing her. Please keep us updated!

Chi, I am pretty sure it has no feeling in that leg at all. It got it caught in the holes of the trap when it freaked out and when we freed the leg it didnt act like it felt it at all. Its just holding it back at this point. Anyway, it's going to the vet first thing tommorow morning. Poor thing is also crossed eyed.

Please keep us updated, amylou321

Aw, sounds like a cat I would like. I've had a crossed cat before. They do fine. The leg will probably need to be amputated. I have had a 3 legged dog and a 3 legged goat.

Amylou, I'm glad the cat was rescued and will be well taken care of, but I do hope you have the bite checked out.

Amylou321......PLEASE get your hand looked at.....you could end up with a VERY nasty infection. Thank you for taking care of that baby though.

The day was uneventful; spent most of it painting and cleaning/organizing the pantry. But, things are looking up now - hubby just brought me a piece of his homemade beef jerky straight off of the smoker. It's still warm and it smells sooooo good!

That's a beautiful theater, Glenda.

What a pretty little thing that kitten is. Thank you for giving him/her a chance, Amy. Hopefully, he/she will soon realize you are trying to help and it will stop growling at you. Please let us know how the vet visit goes tomorrow.

Agree with Ritamay. Keep a close eye on your hand. I stupidly broke up a cat fight when I was in high school and ended up in the hospital for 3 days on IV antibiotics because my mom wouldn't take me to the doctor until it was too late for oral antibiotics. It was pretty obvious though as my hand swelled to about 3x it's normal size and was super painful. I was also bitten and scratched all over both hands as I tried to hold onto him as long as I could.

One thing to be aware of is that this is usually reported to animal control and I don't know what would happen to the kitty. An officer came and checked mine for aggression and made sure vaccinations were updated.

Around here the advice would be to get rabies shots. Also, bear in mind that cats have a very short window of socialization to people--between 4-6 weeks of age. If they not handled by people and become accustomed to them during that period, they pretty much remain feral.

Geneva on the Lake......memories.

There are 19 covered bridges in that area. Wine country easily accessible via the Wine Shuttle.

Thanks for the memories, OklaMoni

Sorry to butt in. I lurk on KT but don’t usually post. I enjoy reading the forum.

As a cat rescuer, I want to thank amylou for helping the kitty. I also wanted to say that older feral kittens and even adult feral cats can become tame with patience and love.

No update on the cat yet. I did not get the girls number who took him to the vet. I have asked the other woman who was in on this mess if she had heard anything and she had not. But she told me that she (the second lady,not the one who took it to the vet) would keep it either at her house or in her parents barn if the cat lives. It was in pretty bad shape, inbred,cross eyed and probably full of parasites. Not to mention that it has been dragging that leg around for at least a week. Anyway, still waiting for news.

Oh, and even though we still dont know if it's a girl or boy,they did name it.

Squiggley Quigley (the gimpy limpy cat) Quigley for short.

Ok I got an update. The leg will indeed have to be amputated, as marilyn said. The vet will amputate the leg, fix the cat, deworm,vaccinate and keep it until it is otherwise healthy. Then he will adopt it out. It's a rural vet, and apparently there are always farmers willing to take a cat, especially is it is free and already fixed. So the woman who was going to take it doesn't have to. She already has 5 cats for heavens sake. So hopefully,if the little booger cooperates, a happy ending. Yay! Another delightful day!
