Gas Stations of History:
When attendants wore uniforms and hats
For Thursday’s stuff:
A few weeks ago Stormy D the Feral showed up with damage to her face and it was swelled to close her eye. I felt like it was from a fight with another cat, dog or even a raccoon.
Now in hind sight I am thinking, was it two snake bites? I remember the swelling, the skin damage that grew and her being lethargic for days. How do cats ‘SHOW PAIN?’
We were sympathized, the neighbor even tried to rub medicated napkins, but basically it ran its course and seemed to start healing. Now I wonder????
But she is gone, and as Lisa said, ‘Cats do not get lost!’ That was proven when I was 5 years old and my cat found its way back about 30 miles to a house it was familiar with.
Life of animals, especially FERALs, is tough but as our friend Rick who just passed wrote: ‘Life Goes On.’
Mentioning Rick one more time, I cannot imagine the feelings of Jilda, the love of his life, at this time. Some of you can understand her feelings because you too have lost that loved one.
It is not a good feeling, sorta sad with this post, but then I smile a little, the kittens are cute, ‘Life Goes On!’

Is Stormy missing? I assume so, but the kittens are there - and I remember reading she was a good momma.
I am so sorry. I understand I can't think of something happening to Disco.
Hope your bite gets better!

Ya, what they say about the Circle of Life. I've been wondering about Stormy D. but 'fraid to ask. She brought y'all some pleasant moments, and now her sweet offspring are doing the same. Have you thought about making it official and adopting one or two?
PS - I went on Jilda's blog last evening and read what she wrote. My heart!
Jack, you need to get someone out to exterminate those snakes. Then place moth balls around areas of the yard to keep them out. Where there is a baby snake, there is a momma.
I would love to see what the snake bite looks like on your finger.
Keep away from the Ivy.

If Stormy is truly gone and I am sorry if she is, she will live on in these kitties if they survive. Had you had copperhead snakes in the area in years passed? I would be moving lol.
