That makes me happy!

Gonna name that cutie "Freeway"?

"He saved Killer, B!"

I think Killer's gonna end up being your #1 fan. Nice save.

Our little kitteh we rescued from a barn in Mt. Airy NC is getting big! She has the coolest coat I've seen on a cat....black with faint gray stripes on her sides.

And a rather knowing look on her face!

All black cats are tabbies (tiger stripes). If you look at any "black" cat carefully, you can see the stripes. That is, however, the best example I've yet seen.

You, Sir, have been adopted.

It's great to see people rescuing cats instead of just buying them

I'm going to name this one Rocky since he was on Rockside Rd/I271.

Good for you Chowser!

I did not know that.

Can you pet him or pick him up?

Just started feeding a stray here about a week ago. It's a female, solid black and seems to understand what the sound of a bag of cat food being shook means.

Haven't been able to get a picture yet, but I went out this morning, sat down in the middle of the back deck and talked / petted her while she ate. Today was the first day she actually came up to me to say "hi". We plan to leave her as the outdoor cat, since we already have an indoor spoiled rotten one. As long as she wants to hang around but she will be fed and cared for regardless.

Cute cat. Nice job with the rescue.

Is it feral? Would it let you handle it without drama?

well, there will probably be a complaint tomorrow about abuse of power or something because I stopped five lanes of traffic to rescue this little cutie

He scratched me at worst and wouldn't let me near him (hence I decided to just shut traffic down before he got ran over). I finally scooped him up and we became fast friends. I was very reluctant as my last kitten rescue didn't survive, but at heart, I'm a softie. I rescued a bull mastiff mix last month that someone chained to a tree in the middle of nowhere (I wish hateful things on these people).

Your still my favorite kind of people.

Even if they don't make it, they do not go without being recognized as a life with value, and this world can use a bit more of that.

I once had 13 cats! That's a lucky number. My vet nominated me as customer of the year.

That is how it began with our rescue kitty. Til he decided he had enough of living outside and picked our house for his new home.

Ha! You're that kitty's forever person now.

I think he needs some fattening up (the kitten, not Chowser. )
