Terribly Busy Toesday

Rocky: Our toes - and our beans - are SO busy we hardly have time to turn around! Well, except for Fracas ... he's giving his toes a rest ...
And Callie is taking a break to play with her fuzzy groundhog toy ...
But my toes are whapping my human artist's camera strap so she'll get back to work ...

There's SO much to do! First, now that ML and staff are back online after that bad guy Ike blew through their house, the Milky thing in my living room needs to choose the winner of Deb & ML's Raffle. I yelled a memo through the door to him that he needs to get busy!

Next, the human artists and I need to work non-stop to get ready for our first cat show! On Oct. 25-26, Artsy Catsy is exhibiting at the Cat Fanciers' Association/Indy Cat Club Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. And we invite all our blogging friends who might live nearby to come - my human artists would love to meet you!! (I'm told I won't be attending the show, but I'm still negotiating.)

And my human artists are very busy trying to find a good furever home for Mr. Milky. Jodi at the Rescue Farm says she'll have no trouble at all finding one for him, but my mom is so attached to Milky she's determined to first try to find a home for him where she can still visit him. She loves Mr. Milky, and he loves her, too. Her heart is breaking, but she's come to realize that it would break her heart even more to upset all of us - especially Callie and Lucy because they're senior citizens - and to have to keep us out of the living room forever.

She wants me to tell you that if any of our cat blogging friends would like to give Mr. Milky a home, if you're within a day's drive of our home in Terre Haute, Indiana, we would drive him to your home ... or even meet you halfway if you live farther away than that. That way, we would know he's getting a wonderful furever home, and my mom would still be able to be in touch with him.

Now I have to go lick her face, because her eyes get leaky just thinking about giving up Mr. Milky :-(

  1. Oh, no! Poor Mr. Milky. After all he's been through. He's going to feel abandoned.

    But we understand. It's just so sad. We're glad you're so determined to find him a good forever home.

  9. But, but, but. . .just THINK what would've happened to Mr. Milky if he had not found the artsy-catsies! Your People SAVED the Milkster from a bad, bad, bad fate so that he could be adopted by his Forever People.
    I know the Mom can't help feeling sad, but I hope she is underneath feeling soooooooo good that she has set him on a path to a long and happy life. Me & The Woman are cheering for all of you!

  12. We are sure Mr. Milky learned a lot about happiness from you. He will take that with him.
    Best of luck at the cat show. Nothing better than spending a day surrounded by the beauty that is cat!
    Your friend,

  15. We're sorry that your staff has to give up Mr. Milky! We can understand how much that would hurt. But I'm sure that your mom will find the best home EVAR for him (besides her own, of course).

  17. aw, poor Mr. Milky, it isn't easy to make friends having a Mr. Shrillky around. we will pass the word around here to see if any of our catless friends would like to have 2 cats in one!!

    we will send many purrs your way. we're sure he will find a loving forever home.

  18. we are very sad that Mr Milky cannot stay there, but, as efurryone has saided, you saved him and taught him that there is love out there. it's very hard for a kitty that has been on his own for so long to make furriends. And you really tried. we knows it breaks your mommy's heart - it would break our mommy's heart too. But if it's the best thing for Mr Milky to move on to a new chapter with a loving forever home, then you should be proud of yourselves that you have gotten him this far.

  19. I'm going to start visualizing Mr. Milky finding a wonderful home without many (any?) other kitties.

    Mom's going to tell her brother about that cat show - he might like to go.

    Purrs,
    Lux

  20. We're sorry that your home wasn't Mr Milky's forever home, but we know that he'll find a special home with another family who will love him as much as your Mom does.
