Kitten Mancat Monday (Throwback)

7week old Mickey.

 

Mickey on Mancat Monday

My man Mickey

(and sister Millie)

He was such a character.

I surely miss seeing his little face everyday.

Now you can see Mazie on top step.

Mickey on middle step,

and lovely Mona on bottom step.

All of these are from last year in May.

I miss seeing all my guys.

 

Miss You Mickey

I've seen Mickey around the neighborhood very sporadically.

It's been several weeks.

I miss that sweet face.

He is such a character. I only hope someone

is treating him well.

His sister Maize has settled in to staying

predominantly in my yard. I have nearly

1 1/2 acres so it's not like it's a small plot.

Plus I have lots of brush around two sides of my

property to play and hide in.

I have occasional visits from Millie.

She is across the street from me.

She is as close to being feral as one can be.

She really distrusts people, and I can't

blame her, someone shot her with a BB when

she was only a few months old.

I wish she'd stay in the yard with Maizey.

And Mona, I haven't seen Mona since

last November. I hope someone took her in.

She was a loving cat.

And of course I miss my sweet Mina.

I'm so sorry your life was so short Mina.

It was unfair that someone put you out when

you were only a kitten and then you got pregnant

and...had four beautiful kittens.

You were a fine loving Mother.

You too were so scared of people.

At least you let me approach you

and pet you. I've trying to take care of your

kittens, and I feel like a failure.

There are just so many cats.

We all do the best we can.

 

Sad Mancat Monday

The above photo and the one below

were both taken November 1, 2020

My last photos of Mickey.

This one is from October.

He was at my feet playing with my shoes.

I didn't want to write this.

I still don't.

I don't know where you are Mickey.

I pray you're safe somewhere,

and that someone fell in love with you,

like I did.

I haven't seen Mickey since

November 2, 2020.

Isn't his baby picture so sweet?

He was a mischievous imp

but he was so loveable.

***

I knew having them outdoors that

it's a risk. Everyday I've said you're name

calling still for you to come home.

I miss you Mickey.

I love you lil' guy.

I worry about you.

I pray you're safe.

I hope to see you again.

Come home Mickey.

Then & now.

Mancat Monday

Hello Mr Mickey!

The "kittens" were officially 1 year old on May 7th.

So that now makes them 'cats'.

But to me, they will always be the kittens!
