cat week

[julchen11]

What a week!

4 weeks ago we got a newbie. She's called Leonie. We got her from the animal shelter where she lived for about 4 years (much too long). Wolfgang found her on the internet and it was the moment when we knew - this little one needed a new home. She was very shy and nervous, we didn't see her for days. It was a good thing that I had to spend nearly 3 weeks at home so she could get used at leas to me. And that she did.
Last week she followed me step by step, her favourite place (besides my bed)is the kitchen. There are so many things to discover, to play with and to enjoy - the shyness slowly fades away. Yesterday she gave permission to me stroking her for 3 times. What an incredible feeling! And she's a singer, talking to me all the time. Now and then she's spitting and scratching but only once the day :-))

And here she is - Leonie




Then I had to go to the vet with one of my older cats, Frida - to get one tooth removed. She's doing well and this morning she ate that much as if she would be starving.

that's Frida



Bibi - is just a sweetheart




and so is Leila - she's soooo wonderful. She was as shy as Leonie and now she's almost glued to us,
favourite place? Kitchen and bed of course.

Leila



and Hedwig-Molly tries always to be the model, LOL
Hedwig-Molly looking for flies...



I'm sure you remember the tailless cat - Josh - we've found 2 years ago.
Last night I could hear him screaming, he didn't come home for 10 days and I learned just yesterday that a women locked  him up. I got up and walked in the dark at 2.am. for about 1 hour until I could free him. What an image. He was so thin, eyes swollen and 2 legs broken so I visited the vet and all he could do was putting him to sleep because the injuries were too bad. 
After this I called the police and  indicated the crime. One of the other neighbours saw this 'lady' beating Josh and he did ... nothing! But thanks to God he told me about it and he'll testify against her. They are on their way to me. I'm sad and angry. I can't understand that people can be so cruel.  I never will.
But now Josh is on a better place. I can see him sitting beside my father (who loved cats as much as I do) snuggling on his lap and enjoying the peace around him. But I'll miss him as much as I miss my other cats who're joining my dad.
Hey Dad, take good care of this little sweetheart.

And now the policemen are here. I'll keep you informed.
Thanks for listening.

Poor Josh, so glad you found him so he could at least have peace at the end. What's wrong with that woman? Happy you called police so at least she can't do this to others.

All your kitties are lucky to have found your home. *hugs*

I'm so sorry to hear about Josh. I don't understand how anyone can do this to another fellow being. *hugs*
But I'm glad to read, that another homeless kitty is save at your place. Thanks for sharing the lovely pics of your friends with us.

Oh, poor Josh! I had been thinking about him recently and was wondering how he was doing, but I never expected anything like this. It breaks my heart that anyone could be so cruel to an animal.

I feel for your loss, my dear and hope that that woman is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. *weeps and hugs you tight*

[gabi-fics.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. That's harsh. I hope this woman is prosecuted. It's good that you have another cat to care for and that people like you balance out bitches like her.

Oh Julchen, I'm sorry to hear the sad news about Josh.

Your heart is so big and generous, and any kitty who finds a home with you is lucky beyond words.

*tight hugs for you*

That's horrible about Josh. Glad you were able to find him and that you have contacted the police about the woman's terrible behavior.

Your other cats are adorable and so lucky to have wonderful people like you to care for them.

Poor Josh! What the F*** is that bitch's problem? I hope she gets locked up for this. As for the neighbor who saw it and did nothing, I don't have much sympathy for him either. He should have come to you after it happened, not waited 10 days for you to find Josh. I have to wonder if he was somehow involved too...

((((hugs))))

Your new kitty looks adorable. I'm glad she's getting used to her new family.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

oh that story about Josh just makes me so sick. :(

*hugs you very tightly**

(your new kitty Leonie is beautiful)

Oh nein, was ist bloss mit solchen Leuten? Ich meine, man muss Katzen ja nicht mögen, das muss man wohl respktieren, aber das ist doch kein Grund eine hilflos Kreatur so zu quälen. Und leider, leider gibt es solche Geschichten immer wieder ... armer, kleiner Josh.

Darum habe ich immer gesagt, ich will keine Katze haben, es würde mich wahnsinnig machen, wenn sie mal nicht nach Hause kommt und ich weiß nicht, was passiert ist. Zum Glück ist Tiger eine richtige Drinnenkatze geworden - wenn ich auch manchmal ein schlechtes Gewissen habe deswegen.

Poor Josh! What an ordeal! That sick woman deserves the harshest punishment.
Your other kitties look all healthy and happy, which doesn't come as a surprise, seeing as how you take care of them:)

[cookiefleck.livejournal.com]

Leonie looks like a sweetie, as do the others. I hope that woman gets what she deserves, and more.

[babydracky.livejournal.com]

OMG! But why would that lady do that to Josh? I just can't understand it! She is such a crazy bitch! Should have her legs broken too to see how much she would like it è____________________________é
Though, it's good to know that you succeeded on freeing Josh and be there for him when he needed. I'm sure he's gone happier.
*HUGS*

All of your kitties are adorable! Even Frida (though she looks scary XD)
Welcome to Leonie! I'm pretty sure she'll be more than happy to live with you all♥

[primula-baggins.livejournal.com]

You have some precious kitties, Julchen. They are so lucky to have you.

I hope someone beats the woman who hurt poor Josh. I don't know how people can be so cruel, either. *sad* RIP little Josh.

*hugs*

[baranduin.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry about Josh. I don't know why I still get surprised at the meanness of people. But you're right, Josh is in a better place now and you'll see him again and all your kitties one day. *hugs*

[aliensouldream.livejournal.com]

That's terrible news about Josh. I'm so sorry.

I'm glad you are continuing to rescue little cats who need love. You give such comfort to them.

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor little Josh. I'm so sorry, Julchen. I can't understand anyone who would beat a little cat like that.

Leonie's lucky to have a home with you. She's very pretty.

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

Oh my CHRIST. Honey, I'm so sorry about Josh! And goooood sweeeet Jebus, I hope that lousy, animal-abusing bitch gets some SERIOUS repercussions. Police are cracking down more and more on sociopaths like that; good luck with all of this, sweet heroine! *hugs*

[bellewood.livejournal.com]

Oh poor Josh!! It's a good thing that there are people like you in the world. I can't believe that awful woman came to your house after what she did. Has she no shame?

I'm sure Leonie will soon settle in. Your home is a refuge for the lost and the lonely. Your beloved kitties can feel the warmth and love that you give them as soon as they arrive. They're so lucky. *hugs*

[shelley6441.livejournal.com]

How could that guy do nothing when he saw that woman hurting Josh? And she locked him up? OMG - that is beyond cruelty. I hope the police will lock her up.

I think it's sweet that you have brindled kitties, except for Hedwig-Molly. And Bibi has eyes like my Sophie.

Take care, sweetie. Leonie is so lucky to have you.
