From 2014, Gib spies with his blue eyes, Binx, our handsome feral tuxedo cat! While we did a post for International Cat Day , did you know that August 17th was  International Black Cat Appreciation Day ? Yes, I knew about it and had this post ready to go, but now I'm over a week late, but you know how life goes! But I had to pay homage to the most beautiful black cat I ever knew...our beautiful feral boy, Binx, who as I mentioned in another post was brought to our house when he was just a kitten by our other adopted cat, Smokie. My daughter kept talking and sitting with him, building up enough trust that he  finally one day accepted treats from her hand!  He never allowed any one to pick him up, but he did eventually permit us to pet him, and purred his joy,   I even had him vetted to be healthy, and also microchipped. We got a collar with tags on him so anyone who didn’t know him would know he had family and not try to trap him or harm him.  Now, catchin...

   FiveSibes #Flashback ~ Gibson keeping an eye on kitties Binx and Smokie ~ 2011 Since it is International Cat Day, I thought it would be a great time to share this pic of my beloved boy, Gibson, keeping an eye on our adopted tuxedo feral boy, "Binx," and behind him is our dear sweet "Smokie" who had been abandoned by her family and found her way to our house and straight into our hearts. Then Smokie found Binx, who was just a wild neighborhood kitten, and brought him home to our house, and straight into our hearts! I could just hear Smokie telling Binx, "No worries. I know where you can live. Come home with me!" Is Binx doing magic and walking on air? Nope, he was strolling up the windshield to my car to say hello to us when we pulled in!  They were two of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen. Smokie was a gorgeous long-fur gray cat who I dubbed an honorary Husky cat due to her fur coat! Binx was a handsome tuxedo kitty! While he was fera...

   FiveSibes #Flashback ~ July 2016 ~ "Harley" W hen the heat went up, the kiddie pools came out and as soon as the hose turned on, our alpha queen Harley would eagerly jump in and play with the hose spray! She was always the first in the pool! Oh, how she loved it! I'm not sure who enjoyed it more—Harley playing in the water or me watching her play! And then the whole pack would join in the cool pool zoomies! Below is my favorite pic of all FiveSibes, as it's not super clear as they were moving fast and having a blast! Fun times!      Now, our adopted feral kitty, Binx, while not into swimming, sure didn't mind snuggling with my daughter poolside, and even gave her a kiss! A very big deal for a feral kitty!     FiveSibes #Flashback ~ July 2016 ~ "Binx"         💙 Memories Are Visits For The Heart 💙      The Linky tool below for the Blog Hop will open all week for you to join us and share pics from yesteryear or y...
