A Year Before

Let's have a Sweetnesday!

Found these gems taken with PO'M's photos posted on Monday.
The Cat Hotel wasn't pretty, but it kept The 'O' Cats warm and sheltered.

The day we brought Sweetie inside was like no other...well, unless you count when Paddy O was finally safe indoors.

February 2019, and we had no idea what was going to happen just about a year later:

-First Covid Pandemic
-Significant birthday for someone at Eastside Cats
-Lost my job, but offered another (thankfully!)
-Began working remotely, and still am.
-Sweetie inside, and happy!

Celestial Sweetie, what a wee ball of sass, love, and murder mitts.

Fixing to Fix

World Spay Day is held on the last Tuesday of February every year.

Spaying and neutering your pets is so very important.

Our readers are already well-versed in this.

A list of cats that I've had 'fixed':

Chuck
Angel
George
Hobo
Sweetie
Honey
Paddy O'Malley
Sammy

Chili Bruce and Manny were neutered by the rescue before being put up for adoption.

Henry, with his ear tip, was neutered by a kind soul practicing TNR in my 'hood.

Here's a story that drives home the importance of getting all of your home animals rendered unable to have litters:

A co-worker had four or five cats, but only had the lone male neutered.

One day, the females broke through a screened window, each got out, and all of them became pregnant.

So, by saving himself the cost of the spay surgeries, now he was hip deep in kittens.

There are low-cost spay/neuter clinics all over now; the expense is worth it.

Fix 'em, folks!

What a pair!

It's PO'Monday!

February, 2019, and I seem to have gotten in on the act.
How I miss this big lunk!
