One morning the staff came into the shelter and found that Rufus had escaped! Cats can't get very far since the doors are closed. This is where Rufus was found in the morning:
Rufus found a DOG dish on a shelf and was curled up there! He must've had a ball the other night walking around. I would've hated to put him back in the cage in the morning. Rufus is a VERY sweet boy. He's already been neutered and doesn't have much time left. One staff member at the shelter doesn't like Rufus because he hissed at her. Oi vey.
Occasionally, I post some comments, questions, etc from my email Inbox here. Some are funny, some are sad. Here are a few - you be the judge:
"...the diarrhea sort of looks like a melted brownie (without nuts)..."
"...I can foster 2 kittens. 3 at the VERY most. But no more than 6. Six kittens is the limit!"
"I heard you can hook me up with a free cat..."
"Every day I thank my lucky stars that Locket came into my life. She gives me a reason to get up in the morning."
"Do you have any baby kittens? I want one that's under 5 weeks old so it can have the benefit of my love longer."

Happy Friday and don't forget:
"Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something..."

I love the name Rufus, but maybe we should call him Houdini :-)

Uh oh... I fear the "I hear you can hook me up with a free cat" might have come from me if it was recent. Someone was looking for a free cat to join with another they have, and I referred them to petfinder and this blog for more info on how they can rescue a cat. I hope they weren't a disaster (I didn't know them personally, only saw their plea online and figured word of mouth is word of mouth, and you are a good screener). Sorry if it caused trouble!!
Anonymous: It didn't cause any trouble - and I get a lot of emails like that. I think most of them are from men who have trouble expressing themselves.
Keep those referrals coming!!!!

"Do you have any baby kittens? I want one that's under 5 weeks old so it can have the benefit of my love longer."
That one really made me laugh.
"...I can foster 2 kittens. 3 at the VERY most. But no more than 6. Six kittens is the limit!"
This one too because...Going to the shelter to get two foster kittens....leaving with four and four newborns...been theeeere! :)
My favourite was a woman who would constantly check to see if we had a kitten under 6 weeks, who would match her furniture and was used to car rides - but smooth car rides because she has a Mustang you know. Oh and can she have one that won't pee or poop for 2 days because she drives to Florida and doesn't want it messing the car!
I can't count the number of emails I have sent/received regarding poop consistency or colour
Can't take a cat hissing at them...and works at the *shelter*? Oh for Chrissake.
Love the pic of Rufus in the dog dish :D
