    My Babies & Their Stories (DUW)

    Ugh, I'm going through a terrible time right now..so I wanted to share the only thing keeping me sane: my cats. We've been through so much together, and were it not for them depending on me, I probably wouldn't be here. But I know, without me, they would go to a shelter or worse..

    My precious baby, Chantilly..rescued at 12-14 days old. Here's a progression, her brother died the same night I took them in, but my little fighter made it.





















    I first got her with fleas, anemia, ear mites, parasites, zero muscle mass and eventually coccidia..she literally was only a fur-covered skeleton. I've never made a better decision in my life than to rescue her. I only wish her brother could've held on a little longer.

    I have five other cats, so prepare yourself for a post each!

    I've noticed that people hardly ever say a word in any of my posts. Feel free to comment, I don't bite..

    I love the markings on her face.
    I also love cats.
    Unfortunately, I hate cleaning litter boxes. LOL.
    I'm glad that you rescued her. I would rescue everything if I could. I already have a zoo.
    Let's see the other 4

    I know, litter boxes are such a pain! I have a Cat Genie but don't have a place to hook it up just yet.

    Is that an automatic one? I used to have an automatic one which I liked. Even then, I still hated changing the plastic bin that the clumps got scooped into. lol....

    It's the super automatic one with its own plastic granules and solution. The solution dissolves solids and flushes it down the drain, then dries the granules. I can't wait to set it up!

    I have a cat genie too and I'm trying to sell it. It isn't the best for 3 cats. Lol. Plus buying granules and solution got annoying.

    Daang, I hope it works for at least half the group, I don't mind keeping regular litter boxes. In truth, I live on 4 acres of land..and I could teach them to go out, but coming from the city I have this ingrained fear of having indoor/outdoor cats.
