It's a perfect fit for Miss Bessie. Plus she is the guardian of the canned cat food. And don't you think she is doing a great balancing act in that box on those cans?

Pookie has been staying up front lately, so I haven't gotten pictures of him. However, yesterday he was in the laundry room in full view. It was a great chance to get photos of him, and he didn't fail to be cute.

From some of the many residents of Rita's Cat Rescue, we honor all felines on this International Cat Day. May you hug your own family members. Help where you can. Most of all be kind, even if it's to just one cat or kitten. You may not be able to help the world, but to help just one, you are their world. Kindness is free.

Some Friday Funnies for you.

Sometimes it's better to turn all the lights off and pretend it isn’t there.

Miss Molly loves her open crate space. Last Sunday she shared it with Sport. Sport was getting restless from not feeling well and he would be in and out, but Molly didn't mind at all. Maybe she sensed that it would be his last day before crossing over. Molly always has that cute smile.

Junior and senior are shown here. Granny Girl, aka Granny G, and Sweets are two of our dilute calico girls. Granny G is looking up with that sweet face. She is the senior gal. Sweets just wouldn't look up,and she is the junior. It's rare to see them together.

Background music is titled "Life is Good", and Guy is proving that to be true. He loves being in this open crate. Surprisingly, Sparkles was no where to be seen, so he had solitude.

It's always difficult to lose one of our beautiful residents at Rita's Cat Rescue, but it is doubly hard when we say goodbye to two. Monday was a day we never like, but two of our boys crossed over the rainbow bridge. Sporty, our golden polydactyl was in kidney failure, but he was doing well considering the condition. However, on Sunday Sport was showing worsening signs, so Rita took him with Scotty. His blood work was beyond help. Scotty, one of our sweet gold and whites, had been having issues with buds in his ears. They were treated before and were under control. This time they were cancerous and would have continued to return if removed. The difficult decision to help them cross over peacefully and painlessly was made. These two will be missed for their sweet and kind temperaments, always greeting you with a quiet meow and gentle head butts. Run free on the other side with Milo, Simon, Goldie, Jasmine and your other RCR brothers and sisters. Be free amongst the clouds and stars. Hug your pets today.

Noelle started out by looking amazing in the cat tree. Then later on, she was hiding behind the slatted door watching everyone.
