Some pets are more serious than others, like this very serious Security Cat:

Meet The PetMorons

Allie-02.JPG

Hello,

I swore I would never, ever get a fourth cat for my household. Never in a million years. Well, I guess I went to sleep for a million and one years, because I broke my vow this past weekend.

The sister of one of my former coworkers suffered a stroke, leaving her incapable of taking care of her 5-year-old cat (named "Ally," though I've changed the spelling to "Allie"). My coworker friend was desperate to find Allie a home after being turned down by several other cat owners.

I just happen to have a sunroom on the back of my house that is perfect for cats. It's a great little catio that has plenty of windows and ventilation, afternoon sunshine, cat trees, and a couch. My other cats love it. Plus, Allie can spend her initial time there while she adjusts to her new environment.

She's been doing OK, though she's not terribly keen on interacting with Penny, Jasmine, and Kaylee. They've been very chill about the whole experience. Allie does let me pet her sometimes, but she also growls sometimes when I do. Not sure what that means. She also has this amusing quirk of dropping her cat toys in her full water dish.

I think Allie will adapt. It will just take time and patience. I'm sure she misses her former owner. But I hope I can give Allie a good home.

I'm attaching a photo of Allie surveying her new domain from on top of a cat tree.

Best regards,

"Perfessor" Squirrel -- Certified Crazy Cat Dude

I kinda suspected that "Perfessor" Squirrel would turn out to have a soft spot for critters.

Molly was around four or five years old when we welcomed her into our family in 2014. The people at the pound said she was a shepherd/husky mix. Normally, our pound keeps animals for two weeks, and then euthanizes them if no one claims them. But they kept Molly past that date because she was so gentle and friendly, and they wanted to place her with a family. We were that lucky family.

Molly rarely barked, and never whined or complained about anything. Her greatest joys were a daily walk and handouts at the dinner table. She was the best of companions and a comfort in our times of stress and worry. We were forced to say goodbye to Molly last week, as hip problems and a sudden intestinal problem proved to be too much. If there are dogs in heaven, then Molly surely will be there. And as Will Rogers said, "If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went."

Thank you.

R. Wilson

Thank you for sharing your photo and remembrances of your wonderful dog. How you must miss Molly.

Bella and Nola.JPG

This is Bella and Nola. These two have been best buddies since Bella (chocolate lab) was a puppy while my wife and I were hand raising Nola.

Nola is a green cheek conure and hostaed in December of 2020 with a birth defect known as splay legs. We had to take him to an avian specialist in New Orleans (hence his name) every week for 6 weeks to treat this condition. Bella sensed there was something amiss with this bird, we have others, and became very attentive and protective.

Nola has been fully rehabbed and these two play together all the time.

Regards

Elmonk

What a wonderful story!

Dottie.jpg

From Jewells:

This is Dottie. We aren't sure what kind of mix she is but she's sure a pretty girl. She's 9 years old. The day after Russell brought her to Shep's she jumped the fence. Many volunteers went out searching for her to no avail. Russell was heartsick. She was gone all night. The next morning she showed up back at Shep's! So..she has to be harnessed when we take her out. She's super lovable and I doubt she will be with us for very long.

Great work you're doing there, Jewells!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, August 20. Some special PetMoron stories and photos there.

I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
