Yes she sure does, Sadie is now 5+ and a great cat, along with our other 3, all rescued. She was worth the long drive. She had thousands of fleas on her when we got her. Not a single one on her since then.

I can’t lie, my favorites are the two black babies. They look like mini versions of my dads cat, Black with white ear hairs. Midnight has long fur, while these too look like they’ll have a shorter coat, I’ve got names picked out based on gender, which I’ll need to double check! Nyx ; the Greek goddess of darkness, and Nebula for female names, Grimm and Styx for males. Or nyx and Grimm if it’s a brother sister pair. They are just so friendly. Then there’s the little calico, I’m trying to find the right name for her. She’s mostly black, a streak of orange down one side of her face, almost brindled orange on her body. I’m off tomorrow so I’ll get better pics of them to share.

I’m a sucker for any animal in need. But for a forever pet, I prefer cats, calm old dogs, and birds. I’ve never been interested in having any rodent or weasel except maybe a skunk, but I’ve read that pet skunks are very cat like. We’ve taken in all kinds of strays all my life. And hand fed wild skunks years ago, which led to a stray dog we took in getting us all sprayed.... lol. But I like low energy pets, that don’t require me going for a run. My exception would be another Great Dane.

Ferrets (domesticated “weasels”) are wonderful pets! They truly are a combination of a cat and a dog! They always leave you laughing! As caged pets they are easy to care for....but they REQUIRE attention and interaction from their people!

Princess used to escape from her cage at night and I would suddenly feel something on my head and there she was trying to hide things in my hair .She would get into everything and hide things .I think my ferret loved it because she had the cats and my chihuahua to play with .

Went for my walk. I figured out I ride about 25 miles each day. Just love it! Also stopped and asked a lady if she wanted a big old white rock that has been sitting out by her gate. She said nope and if I want it to take it so I rode my bike home and got the hand truck and wheeled it home. Only a couple blocks away so not too far. I've had my eye on it for months! Then mowed the lawn and I turned into Pig Pen from the Charlie Brown cartoon show.

I had a friend that had two, not my cup of tea. I tried getting better cat pics, nope, they move too much! This is as good as it gets. That’s Grimm, the friendlier of the twins.
