    When I read that, the 1st thing I thought was how much love, fun and insanity (but the good type of insanity :p) is going to be generated in and around your house.

    And, I must say Piper must be one fine good dog. :)

    Yes, Lynn!

    Piper and Emma are the big dogs and they love the kitties.

    I tell you, this feral cat thing is getting way out of control.

    There are 8 semi-ferals born last year or the year before. Of those 8, I think one is male.

    There are new male cats showing up every day, and there is fighting. I hate the fighting. I've seen 4, maybe 5 males out there who aren't normally out there.

    I've got to ramp up my Trap, Neuter, Release program...Big Time.

    Money is tight with hubby having to go to specialists and get scans, etc done. I hope the place that does them for $15 each on a walk-in basis is still operating that way. If you being able to bring 2 a day still stands then I need to borrow another Hav A Heart trap. I hate to make the trips for one cat at a time.

    I really admire what you are doing for these critters. They are fortunate to have you caring about them and for them.

    I hadn't noticed this thread before Aerianne - now I have I think you're doing a really good thing there.

    I don't have a cat at the moment because of the unsuitability of the place I live, but in the past we had as many as 6 cats at one time, 4 of who we rescued.

    Nah, Moonie.... I'm just a sucker and cats know it!

    Hubby is worse but I consider that he is sick and in so much pain all the time; plus, he never had kids of his own.

    These little fuzzy butts bring him pleasure. He told me that this truly is his idea of Heaven. His former wife would never let him have pets.

    I am a sucker for cats, too....:p

    I always was....and always preferred them over dogs for the most part.

    Now that I have two big dogs in the house, I'm pretty sure I won't ever be without at least one and that one will be another Pit Bull.

    I'm not crazy about little dogs. The bigger the better.

    Well...I brought home two more indoor cats today.

    My daughter had two that are about 3 months old. She had to move into a new place and wanted to give them away. No one would take them so I told her to bring them to me. She may or may not take them back to live with her at some point. I don't know.

    My total indoors is now 11.

    Edit- these were Ozzie and Louie
