One evening last fall I saw a badger at my local park! It was waddling very noisily through the leaves towards its underground home. The weirdest thing is that it was being followed by a curious cat! The cat then sat on a rock and watched the badger go underground. It was delightful

All 3 of the cats that have lived here since 2012 were backyard/barn rescues.

Kitty Boy Floyd ( I renamed him from Domino /Stinky) was found in a barn at my parents house in Montague,NJ. We took him in when my Mom passed away in 2012.

Squeezle McLoveMuffin wandered up to my front door screen ato check out Kitty Boy floyd around Memeorial Day 2018 & never left.

DellaBella (aka Squirt) was captured at about 4 mos old back on April 13th 2022. It was abit traumatic for him at first but now he's loving every minute with us & his pal Squeezle.

StringOFperils:

I saved a miniature Yorkshire terrier's life a few summers ago, one dark evening, while fireworks were exploding everywhere in all the little parks and schoolyards. Skyrockets and Roman candles whooshed and boomed loudly. I was on my bicycle in traffic, when I spied an animal on the other side of the road, running at top speed, past the vegetable stands and flowers that were still out under dark awnings, and in and out and through all the legs that walked and strutted in all directions on the sidewalk, to an fro, like a forest of moving trees. The little tiny dog ran as fast as a big dog; I could see immediately that it was absolutely terrified! No one cared. No one saw. But I began to follow, peddling faster and faster! I had to make my way across to it at the next opportunity, maybe the next intersection at this rate! We were on opposite sides of two lanes of heavy traffic, with cars parked here and there along the curb lanes. The little dog flickered in and out, light and dark, kaboom kaboom!! Its speed was outstripping mine, and I was on a bike going downhill; it got past the next intersection, and it kept going and going! It was a really cute little dog. By the time we were over 3 long city blocks south, the little doge began to veer off the busy sidewalk and into the traffic. It looped outward in between and, seemingly, under and through the moving cars, more than once, unsure of how to escape or which way to go. I cringed, again and again, exclaiming, "Oh, no!!" Eventually it began to slow somewhat, and I saw my chance to get across to where it ran up into an doorway-alcove in front of a furniture store that was closed for the night, running tiny circles in a blind corner, from which there was no escape, other than to face the traffic or the hoards of indifferent people, rapidly moving north and south, whose giant boots might crush it underfoot, indifferently and blindly in the descending dark. I wheeled to the curb and a break in the traffic flow made it possible to rush across 4 lanes and roll up to the alcove. There, the poofiest little terrier twitched around in desperation and terror. It had a little pink ribbon tied in a bow on top of its head. I leaned the bike on a post and approached it. It ran but I grabbed it; it was so small. It tried to calm it with my voice but the city behind me was loud! The little dog's heart seemed about to explode. It pounded in its chest. I feared it would not survive even this. I was able to hold it in one hand, if I held it to my chest, and in this way I was able to ride, so we got on my bike and I took the next left, away from the main drag and into the leafy darkness of my neighbourhood streets, past the trees and under the lights. A group of adolescents saw us, and laughed derisively to see the funny man on his old bike who clutched such a foo-foo little ornament of a dog with a pink ribbon in its top-knot. I felt silly, but more than that, I felt terrible for the dog. It squirmed and writhed, and whimpered, and its heart never stopped beating like industrial dance music. I got it home and brought it in and it ran to a remote corner at the back of the house where there's a sliding glass door to a garden. It had a tag on its collar, with a phone number. I called it. A woman answered, and I told her that I had her dog, and asked her to please come and get it. She seemed confused, and asked where. It came out that I was in downtown Toronto, and she was somewhere in Mexico! And also, that the dog was living with her boyfriend, who was here. So she put me in touch with him, and he eventually found me, around 11 o'clock at night. The poor little dog. Her boyfriend was a young guy, with dreads. He'd been in a park, about half a mile north of my place, and a mile north of where I caught the dog. He seemed nonchalant, and looking down and seeing that he still had no leash with him, I something like, "Dude, your dog is absolutely terrified of fireworks; he/she's really lucky to be alive, she was in traffic." He just said thanks, and didn't seem to think about it much. But the trembling and shaking dog was happy to see someone familiar, and so the two turned and disappeared out into the night. I hope he acquired a leash...and maybe a little more empathy.
