The Life and Times of Tiberius Ticklemouse
There was a special bridge that animals were supposed to cross, when their souls left their bodies. The mortal form of an old grey cat known by the slightly odd name of Tiberius Ticklemouse could see the bridge, could even sometimes see what was on the other side, but he hadn't crossed it, not yet.

The night was a still night, but for this little cat bandit, it was a steal. In her natural stealth of movement to creep onto the scene, she noticed all that was in her path on this very night before Halloween. In her mind, she believed this was her night to get the treats that she deserved. Any other night, she just does her usual roundabout routines of naps and playing on her cat tower, but tonight was different. It was as if she had changed from day to night to be this new cat. Javanie, the cat's name, has always been a part of my life, but she was more independent today to play her role for Halloween as the cat bandit. This being her first Halloween, she got dressed in her bandit outfit and sought to get her treats like a good girl. I was around with my cat, Bandit, to play with her and give her the tricks or treats she deserved. The cat bandit was able to creep throughout the house to find out where all the treats and tricks were in the house. Just like a bandit who would rob people while they travel, my cat would go into the open cubby and rob me to get her a treat from me. This bandit was a very cute one, so I had no choice but to be robbed by this bandit that stole my affections on this Halloween day.

Hi there! My name is Baby. On Instagram I am @Baby_THE_Cat17. For 4 years now, I've been fooling all of you, except my Mommy. She knows what's up. I've been cleverly masquerading as a less than frisky feline. My costume kicks serious ass!

There she was tossing turning in and out of sleep only to be startled by what she thought was a kitten desperately meowing and clawing at the door trying to pry his way in. A sudden chill went down her spine from the anxiety settling within from being unsure of what was going on. Goddahzz curiosity nudged her to slowly get up to check outside. To her surprise when she opened the door it wasn't a kitten, but some kind of small blue creature with four legs, huge ears, and big bug eyes staring at her with a creepy yet cute unforgettable smile. Oddly he appeared to be gentle and cuddly as if something was telling her he's not harmful yet very affectionate. Confused as to what was happening she quickly recalled a dream she previously had showing her something or someone would be entering her life to help heal past hurt. Letting out a brief sigh of relief she proceeded towards the small blue creature.

Full disclosure, I'm not actually a big fan of dressing up your pets. I think hats/things on their head are alright but when you're putting full outfits on, particularly over their paws it's unnatural for them and stressful for everyone involved. The furthest I've gone before is when we used to have antlers for our old dog at Christmas and she used to pose and wait for everyone to say 'aw' then reach up and knock them off, it was very cute! Since we got our cats, Molly & Tilly, I have only attempted to dress them up once. A few years ago, I bought them Halloween capes. I knew I wouldn't get them done up, and didn't really want to, but hoped I'd at least get a cute photo of them draped on their backs. Sadly it was not to be, as soon as the fabric touched them they freaked out and ran and I didn't push the issue. They really hate any kind of dressing up as even collars cause a meltdown. When we got them, they came with harnesses and leads to walk them like dogs but how their previous owner managed it I'll never know as when we tried they got down on their bellies and refused to move before twisting themselves until at least their arms were free of the harnesses.

As much as I hate to admit it, I have become a cashmere cat, which is quite different from my alleycat days. Although the cashmere cat lifestyle is rather lovely, I'm still in touch with my alleycat roots.

For as long as I can remember my sister, my Mom, and I always had a cat as a member of our family. How these three cats came into our lives at different times always seemed to be serendipitous. Our current cat and featured UPS worked in the photos, Carti, came into our lives in an unbelievable and mysterious way. Some might say he was the perfect delivery. Everyone we told this story to said it was a blessing in disguise and that we had to keep him. Reincarnation? The never ending soul? What do you believe in? Before I tell all the details here is a backstory for some context. Our first cat Simba was not the initial choice of my parents. A trip to the shelter in which the first kitten they wanted did not get along with my sister, who was around five years old at the time, proved that they needed to make another choice. They saw a black and white kitten that they were drawn to by his sweet and calm nature and knew they wanted to adopt him. Most importantly he got along with the whole family and adjusted quickly. Fast forward a couple years later another cat joined our family who came to us after being found at an abandon house. Simba and Nala, who we lovingly named after our favorite movie at the time, "The Lion King" got along well and we were glad they had each other. After many years of playing together, eating next to each other, and sharing toys and treats they were getting older and unfortunately started showing signs of declining health. We sadly had to put our girl Nala down due to an aggressive form of bone cancer that to us seemed to come out of no where. That same year Simba who was 21 was exhibiting alarming signs that something was wrong with his health. We took him to the vet and because of his old age his body was shutting down rapidly in many ways. We had no choice but to put him down as well. We were heartbroken losing both cats in that time period but found solace in the fact the they did not have to suffer anymore. The day we put Simba down I said that I did not want anymore cats for a while but little did I know I did not have much choice in the matter. After that difficult day the three of us were asleep in bed when my Mom awoke to the sound of what she thought was a baby animal; maybe a rabbit, or a fawn or perhaps just people walking by making noise. Being in that exhausted state she did not think much of it and went back to bed. Early the next morning as my Mom was leaving on her way to work, she was approached by our neighbor who exclaimed to her that A kitten was meowing outside our door all night. The kitten was relentless as if he was trying to get into our house or get our attention so she decided to take him in for the night. My Mom listened in disbelief as we had just put Simba down the day before. My mom did not know what to think and was too shocked in that moment about the coincidence. Later that day she informed my sister and I about the kitten and we were amazed and a little spooked. How is it that the same day Simba passed on a kitten we had never seen before in our neighborhood just happened to appear in the middle of the night outside our house. Mind you our house is not the first one when you enter the neighborhood so it was even more strange to us. He was about four or five months old, very small, and looked like he did not have a home. Despite him getting pee on me the very first day in our house and hiding out under the couch we decided we just had to keep this little miracle kitten. We had never been without a pet before so him coming the way he did seemed like a sign from the universe. It gives us chills to think that we put Simba to sleep and about twelve hours later a baby kitten showed up on our doorstep. He fit right in with us and we gave him just as much love as he gave us. We could tell he was grateful for us giving him a home and he brightens our day and always makes us smile. Carti has a big personality; he is especially odd, extremely loving, cuddly, crazy, and always needs to be the center of attention. Carti is a sign to me that I will always need a cat as a companion in my life. That is why this Halloween we decided to dress him up as a UPS worker because he was our "special package".

Currently, there are three cats and a bunny rabbit and five parrots that I claim as pets. Rex the Funny Bunny is one of the best pets I've ever had. He's hilarious, and so cute, and he is, well, a funny bunny.

Tens of thousands of kittens around the world are born outside "on the streets" every year and many of them find themselves abandoned, often as young as a few days old, by mothers who, sadly, can not care for them for anymore one reason or another. More than likely as not, these orphans suffer from a multitude of afflictions including, but not limited to, malnutrition, dehydration, and/or disease. They can be eaten by predators such as; foxes, coyotes, dogs, and birds of prey, be infested with many types of internal and external parasites, or be exposed to extreme temperatures which, left unrescued.... Kills. Too many die due to these tragedies without ever being discovered.

The day began with a bang as Princess leaped up, screaming bloody murder. The perfect amount of enthusiasm for the perfect amount of cat. At 16 pounds, Princess was a large black and white fur ball. Her realization of the audacity of her situation made her leap up in indignation.
