I have 9...NINE...in the house with 5, FIVE, outside (feral and would never tolerate being inside the house). I have a 15 year old Himalayan that has just decided he'd rather poop somewhere (take a guess..no, really, it's a game to find it) on the floor than in the litter. He has never done that! I blame is on being a "senior". My others don't do THAT, but I have a fairly territorial one who thinks he has to spray every once in a while, just enough to let everyone know HE IS KING OF THE HOUSE. *SIGH* But you know what? I love them all dearly and still am trying to get one more in the house from outside - he was a kitten dumped on our porch during the warm weather. I hate thinking him being out when it's cold, but they all have heaty pads in their kitty cubes with blankets covering to keep the wind down, plus a nice kitty house insulated with plastic. What we do for our loved pets. So, Natalie, I don't think you need to ever fear being called a cat-lady, it's not the *worst* thing in the world! :) <br /><br />And....I hope you get to feeling better after your fall!<br /><br />Glenda Campbell from Winfield, KSBulldoggrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936218440921207762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-60757714322107272422016-12-14T19:19:37.039-05:002016-12-14T19:19:37.039-05:00Hi Natalie- I have finally finished reading your b...Hi Natalie- I have finally finished reading your blog from beginning to now.

I'm so glad you weren't seriously hurt when you fell off Roo and that you're feeling better!<br /><br />And as for whether all that you do is worth it, I know it's more work and expense than most of us readers can appreciate. But I hope you know that it's not just about all those lucky critters. Your blog is a breath of fresh air that constantly reminds those of us (like me!) who tend to lean a tad too cynical at times that there are truly good people in this world.

You're doing something so meaningful, making an enormous difference in the lives of so many other Beings, you're working for their Highest Good. I can't think of anything more important, certainly not any bathroom reno.
