Dear Cody, also known as the "cat formerly known as....."
Today is a special day. It is hard for me to believe that 5 years ago today you came into my life.
Has it really been FIVE YEARS?
I want to thank you my precious Cody for helping to heal a heart that was broken. The day I found you at the PetCo adoption drive, my heart was hurting from having to say goodbye to your Grandpa Bobo just two weeks earlier.
I thought maybe it was too soon for another cat. That is, until I picked you up and you immediately curled yourself up against me, never making any attempt to move, I felt your heart taking over mine, I knew you were sent from the Heavens.
I can see why your first name was Prince, your Dad frequently reminds me of how I should never have changed it. You truly ARE our "Prince."
You entered your Dad's and my home when you were about 11 wks old. You had such kitty swagger! You never hid, you strolled through our home with an air of ownership. You had the cutest little pot belly and a sturdy, solid frame. Such a rough-and-tumble boy kitty you were! As a handsome mancat, you still are.
Your Dad and I would laugh when you would turn and look at us with the most inquisitive, intense stare, your eyes literally appeared to look through us, you never averted your gaze. We could tell you possessed the wisdom of the ages with that look, it is a look you frequently give us to this day.
You are patient, yet determined, tolerant, but no pushover, fearless and loving.
Thank you for the love, laughs and light that you bring to my world, your Dad's and of course your best friend's, Dakota.
As I used to say to Grandpa Bobo, "you MUST stay with Mama til you are at least 24!"
Thank you for being the incredible kitty that you are, my special boy, I adore you.
Love, "Mom"

A Cat Adoption Story, Pay it forward, but protect your heart
One of the goals I had aspired to in the past year was, instead of just blogging about pet adoption events, I had decided that it was important for me to be an active participant. I didn't want to just "Blog the Change" I wanted to help "Be the Change."
As many of you know, June was "Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat-Month" and I had decided to attend a local adoption event that previously I had only blogged about, but had never experienced.
It was a gloriously sunny day, and as I motored along picturesque tree and lake-lined roads, I thought about the many kitties I was yet to meet.
The first cats I met were residents of Kitty City II. They romped and played freely in their cage-free, toy and comfy chair-filled environment.
Then I strolled over to the large vacant storefront that was located next door, where cats from the Oakland Pet Adoption Center and Elizabeth Lake Animal Rescue were housed.
My heart fell to my toes. There were cages upon cages of cats. Every color, every age, every size, every breed. Each with a story. Each filled with hope. Each wanting to give love.
I made my way around the room, cooing, ooo-ing, ahhhh-ing, petting pink noses, touching velvety soft paws. Then I stopped. For some unknown reason I turned my head and saw HIM. Our eyes locked. His handsomeness could not be denied. SOMETHING HAD DRAWN ME TO THIS CAT.
I approached his cage and instantly was smitten. He flirted, he posed, he had a regal sense of calm and the look of a tiny bobcat in his beige-mocha tinged face. His name was Tigre. (Nope, not a typo, that was his name!)
I held him, kissed him. I had fallen in love. My heart broke with the realization that I couldn't adopt him. I am only permitted to have two pets in the condo where I live, and, the vet had advised, that with the special dynamic that exists between Cody and Dakota, bringing a third pet into the mix could completely destroy the magic that currently exists between them.
I cried. This cat had claimed my heart and I could see that I had claimed his. He had literally been dumped in the street, WITH his collar. When his owner was called, he denied that the cat was HIS.
I couldn't bear to leave.
A woman and her adult daughter approached the cage just as I was readying myself to try and walk away.
I had begun a conversation with them and they told me about current and past cats that they had and how they were considering adopting another to be a kitty companion to a cat already living with the adult daughter.
I looked at them and said, "Please adopt this cat" I explained that I could feel that he was special. They played with him, held him and were immediately drawn into his feline spell.
The stories I heard had dispelled any fears that I may have had of their being appropriate adoptive "parents."
The adult daughter said:
"I can't afford him today. I have to wait until I am paid"
Afraid that the luxury of waiting did not exist, I said, "If you adopt him, I will BUY him for you."
As they should have, they looked at me as if I was completely crazy. Who was this strange woman saying she would BUY the cat for them?
The adult daughter said:
"YOU will BUY him for me?"
ME: "Yes"
The adult daughter said: "Ok"
My heart flew, my feet danced as we made our way to the table to fill out the paperwork. I paid the adoption fee feeling as if this was one of the most wonderful days of my life. I hoped I had saved a life. I couldn't save them all, but I felt as if I at least had saved one.
My only request of the adult daughter was after having heard that she was on Facebook, that maybe, just maybe could she occasionally send me a photo or two? An update? Something about this magical cat to let me know that he was thriving in his new home and receiving the love that I wish I could give to the millions of homeless cats throughout the world, but can't?
Adult Daughter: "Oh yes!!! I will send you photos, I will update you!"
I HAVE RECEIVED ONE.
That week.
Nothing more.
I even checked photos on her Facebook page to see if there were any of Tigre, any updates. Not much. Maybe two photos and a comment about how her cat was adjusting to his living in their home.
On July 10th I left a light and airy comment asking her how he was doing.
I have heard nothing.
I have emotions that I am still wrestling with.
Should I have been the one to adopt him?
Maybe. But logistically it was not in his or my best interest for the reason stated above and the honest fact that with my still being out of work, and my husband having retired, we simply could not afford another pet. Plain and simple. If we couldn't afford to adequately provide for a third, the answer was NO. I wanted to be a part of the SOLUTION, not be a contributor to the PROBLEM.
Did I make it possible for the wrong person to adopt him?
I don't know. What kills me is I may never know.
Is he still living with her?
Same answer as above.
Do I have the right to know?
Initially I believed that YES, I do have a right to know. But after speaking with my dear friend Kim, of the wonderful blog, CindyLu's Muse and "Be The Change For Animals" who has fostered a HUGE number of pets, the answer is yes I have a right to know, but NO, I should never have expected that I would be updated. In a perfect world where you do the right thing and perform a kindness for another the answer would be, YES. In real life, when you do a kindness, you should NEVER expect anything in return.
Would I do it again?
YES. It warmed my heart and satisfied my soul to have given this most incredible gift. It is always the right thing to "pay it forward" and I would gladly do it again.
When I do, I will do my best to keep my expectations in check and I will PROTECT MY HEART.

Our Hearts Are Hurting....
"Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.
Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.
Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love."
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love."
Poem from http://www.franscandles.com
Precious Alex,
We will never, EVER
stop loving you
We will never, EVER
stop missing you
Your heart, your love, your bravery
will be a part of us furever
Our Angel Bobo has his paws wrapped around you
protecting you, loving you
he will take good care of you
from his special place
over the bridge
We pray for strength for your Mom & Dad
in this most difficult time
With All Of Our Love,
and our deepest sympathy

Book Revew: "Cat and Crow: An amazing friendship" By Lisa Fleming, Illustrations by Anne Marie Dominik-Harris. ENTER TO WIN A COPY!
One of my favorite parts of blogging, (if not THE most favorite part), is the books that are sent to me to review either directly from the publisher, the authors themselves, or those that were sent to me via recommendations from dear friends.
I am delighted to share with you:
Cat and Crow An Amazing Friendship (published by Collage Books Inc.), was written by Lisa Fleming. One of my dear cat blogging friends, (Layla Morgan Wilde of the Pettie nominated Cat Wisdom 101 and her other inspirational blog, The Boomer Muse), referred Lisa to me knowing that I would be greatly touched by this inspirational gem, and that I would enjoy featuring it. She couldn't have been more correct.
Cat and Crow is based on the true story of a cat, (Cassie), and a crow, (Moses), who, in spite of their obvious differences, became the best of friends.
When compiling a list of "must read" Children's books, be SURE that this one is on your list!
The story originates at the home of Ann and Wally Collito who witnessed this phenomenon take place and watched in joy and wonder as they first noticed the crow (Moses), feeding a worm to the black and white kitten (Cassie). It is believed that the crow saved the kitten's life and decided to designate itself as the kitten's mother, playmate, guardian angel and best buddy.
Every day for four years the Collito's watched the amazing display of friendship with complete awe.
How could two animals who were not in the least connected genetically, and who were supposed to be mortal enemies, become the best of friends?
When Lisa Fleming first saw the cat and crow friendship on YouTube she knew she had to share this inspirational and awe-inspiring story with the world.
From Lisa: "I knew in my heart that I wanted to share this true story with the world. When I contacted the Collitos, they welcomed me into their home and encouraged me to write the story of these two incredible animals. I have since formed a special connection with this family and their beloved cat, Cassie."
Lisa wrote this enlightening Children's book (which is charmingly illustrated by Anne Marie Dominik-Harris), in an attempt to "help educate future generations on being part of the solution for helping feral and stray cats."
If a crow can adopt, care for, love and protect a feral kitten, without "seeing" physical and genetic differences, why can't some of us do the same for feral kittens as well as for each other?
I couldn't help but be reminded of the Paul McCartney song "Ebony and Ivory" when reading this book. How ironic that Moses the crow is black and Cassie the cat is black and white? Something to think about.
In addition to the heartwarming story as written by Lisa, the back of the Cat and Crow has an update about Moses and Cassie, charming photographs from the Collito's, various newspaper clippings, a section called Feathers (Fun Facts About Crows) with information provided by Bernd Heinrich, Ph.D (professor emeritus in the biology department at the University of Vermont), and a section entitled Fur (Fun Facts about cats) with information provided by Nancy Peterson, Cat Programs Manager for the Humane Society of the United States.
The story of the Cat and Crow is a story of complete trust, acceptance, loyalty, protection, devotion, having the capability of being able to love and nuture another completely, in spite of obvious differences.
Wally Collito believes that if it hadn't been for the loving care of Moses, Cassie, who was a feral kitten (before she was taken in by the Collito's) would have died. Lisa informed me that Cassie just turned 13 this past June!!!
Wally Collito also states in the video on YouTube:
"One important lesson is that two strangers need to get along with each other."
If they do, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
To that I offer a resounding Amen.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lisa Fleming, a former newspaper columnist and freelance writer, is passionate about animals and wildlife. She is dedicated to helping those in need, by creating ideas that inspire charitable endeavors in her Southwest Florida community. She does many elementary school visits, helping to educate future generations about feral and stray cats.
